Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If Serenity chose John, Selena was ready to support and bless her happiness. But since she had chosen Gabriel, Selena felt a little regretful for John.

The latter loved her sister too much.

John’s dark eyes turned slightly misty as a trace of desolation appeared between his brows. He turned and strode away without saying a word.

Selena’s arrival eased the atmosphere in the ward a little. After a little persuasion from her, Master Samson's mood finally got better.

Serenity and Helena Turner silently heaved a sigh of relief. Selena always had a way to deal with Master Samson.

Since there was an assigned nurse, there was no need for the women to stay in the hospital at night. At 8:30 p.m., the three left the hospital together.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Serenity and Selena went to the parking lot to get their cars. The latter asked, “What are your thoughts on... your current situation with John?”

Selena took out her car keys from her bag and unlocked the car not far away. The taillight of the car lit up, illuminating the indifference on Serenity’s haggard face. Her face looked so bleak it was as if it had been exposed too long to the wind and frost. “I'm happy where | am right now.”

Selena understood what she meant. She still chose Gabriel. She thought of John’s determination after Serenity left California, confident that the latter would forgive him. But he had miscalculated. Despite everything he had done, John could not get what he wanted. How pitiful.

It was already past nine o’clock when Serenity returned home but Gabriel's car was still not in the garage. She felt a little depressed knowing that he was not back yet.

Mrs. Winstead had saved her some dinner. Although she had already eaten in the hospital, she still ate a little so that she wouldn't be hungry at night.

Due to her lack of sleep, Serenity was not in a good mood, so she went to bed after taking a shower. When she woke up the next day, there was still emptiness beside her.

Then, Mrs. Winstead told Serenity that Gabriel had called last night to inform that he wouldn’t be coming back either.

And this continued for a week. Whenever Serenity called, Caleb would always answer, telling her that he was either in a meeting or busy. It was the same when she called Francesca.

She could feel that Gabriel was avoiding her. But why?

Determined to figure it out, Serenity racked her brain for possible reasons. Other than him making her quit her job without permission, there was also the matter of Diana and Sam. They did not have a full-blown argument about either, and if anyone was going to be angry about it, wasn’t it her?

“Did he still not come back last night?” asked Serenity to Mrs. Winstead as the former went downstairs. Mrs. Winstead shook her head. Even she could tell that something was not right between the couple. Young Master rarely stayed out and there was no precedent of him not going home for a week.

As Mrs. Winstead gazed at Serenity strangely, deep in thought, the latter grabbed her handbag and left the house. She called Gabriel again in the car. And Caleb picked up again. “Young Madam.”

“Where is he?” asked she bluntly.

Caleb glanced at the man behind the desk. The former had almost exhausted all excuses when lying to Serenity in the past week. In the end, he calmly said, “He’s in a meeting.”

“Huh.” Serenity thought so. Caleb was expecting her to end the call but instead, she continued to say, “He’s in a meeting again.”

She emphasized the word ‘again’ intentionally and Caleb knew he had been caught red-handed. Feeling guilty, he asked, “Should | get President Jones to call you back after his meeting?”

“Caleb.” She suddenly called out to him sternly. Caleb unknowingly straightened his body. This was the first time he had heard her speak in such a low and fierce voice. “I’ve heard this set of words many times..”
