Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 282: You Should Have Told Me Earlier Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation John rubbed his temples. He was so happy that he almost forgot that Serene did not like to be disturbed when she was sleeping.

His girl was usually well-behaved but would get very grumpy when woken up. If anyone dared to disturb her while she was sleeping, she would lose her temper.

He put his phone away and smiled. When he heard footsteps behind him, his smile slowly disappeared.

He turned around and saw Selena and Mr. Handel. He smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Handel, it's been hard for you to come here in the middle of the night.”

The lawyer’s clothes were wrinkled and there was a wound on the corner of his mouth. One look and John knew what had happened. He shook his head and said, “They are also Chairman Grant's sons...” If one wasn’t steady enough, one wouldn't achieve great things.

John smiled faintly. “The performance earlier must have given you a good laugh.”

By the time the trio left the hospital and arrived at their respective homes, it was already four in the morning. Selena looked at John and said, “Good night. 111 go back to my room first.”

John hummed a faint acknowledgment and the two headed for their respective bedrooms: Selena went into the master bedroom while he went into the guest room next door.

Serenity slept well that night so she woke up in a relatively good mood. On her way to work in the morning, she received a call from John, “Are you free tonight?”

“No.” Truth be told, Serenity was surprised to hear from John. The person on the other end was silent for a moment. “I have something important to tell you.”

Serenity found it a little strange for John to be calling and saying this, but she suppressed her curiosity. “You can just say it over the phone.”

John was already at Grant Group. He had not slept the entire night as he had been kept awake by his excitement which remained at high levels after the sun rose. He looked down at the scenery outside the building. “Some things can only be said face to face, so... 1 want to see you.”

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she was slightly touched by the last words he uttered. She pursed her lips and said, “| really don’t have time tonight.”

When it was almost time to get off work, Serenity was handing over some documents to Gabriel and took the chance to ask, “Are you free tonight?”

Gabriel was sitting behind his desk, signing the documents that she brought in when he heard her question. He thought about his schedule for the day and said, “I have a dinner party.” Thinking that she wouldn't ask him for no reason, he asked, “What's wrong?”

“My dad asked me to bring you home for dinner.”

Gabriel paused in the middle of flipping through the documents she handed to him. He looked up at her. “You should have told me earlier.”

“If you're not able to make it tonight, we can do it another time,” said she in a small voice.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Gabriel looked at his watch before dialing the internal line to Caleb. “Cancel the dinner tonight.”

Without waiting for Caleb to speak, he hung up the phone, leaving a confused Caleb staring at the receiver. ‘What was going on?”

“Actually...” said Serenity slowly. “You know what, we can just do this next time. It doesn’t have to be today.”

Gabriel's gaze had turned gentle, but there was displeasure in his voice. “I've been sleeping alone for two consecutive nights since | got married.”

Serenity fell speechless, looking embarrassed. Finally, she said, “I'll go out to work first.” After work, the rest of the secretariat left the office before Serenity did. Gabriel’s car was already waiting for her by the roadside.

She sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. She turned around and looked at the empty backseat. “You're going empty-handed?” “What should we get then?” Gabriel started the car.

Shouldn't he bring some gifts for his first visit? This way, he could please his parents-in-law and be polite at the same time.

However, when she thought about it, as long as Gabriel was willing to lower himself, Benjamin Rivers would be smiling from ear to ear.
