Capítulo 41: Chapter 41: Week before the preliminary exam

After another round of lovemaking, Charlton, who saw that it was almost dawn, walked Serena back to her bedroom. They kissed each other one more time before they parted.

At half past 10 in the morning, Serena heard someone knocking on her door. "Milady, the Duke and the Duchess are waiting for you to join them for brunch."

Serena groggily rose from the bed. She haven't slept much yet but decided to join them anyway. She can sleep later when she goes back to school.

She moved to have a quick shower and dress herself. After finishing all that in 20 minutes, she went out of the room to see the servant waiting for her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go." She said, still feeling a bit lethargic.

In the dining hall, she saw her family, along with Charlton who did not look like he had an all-nighter and in fact looks even better than usual. They were having an amiable conversation when they saw her come in.
