Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 53: Did She Have No Shame? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Their dispute attracted the attention of many people, who curiously stared at them.

In the banquet hall, John was conversing with another person with a glass of champagne in his hand when Dan his secretary suddenly came forward and whispered a few words into his ear. He immediately smiled and said “excuse me” to the other party before passing his glass of champagne to Dan and quickly leaving the banquet hall.

On the other hand, Serenity and Sam were still pestering Zander to persuade him into accepting their interview at the parterre located outside of the banquet hall.

Zander was very persistent in his attitude, which was making it very clear that there was no room for negotiation. Yet, faced with such a situation, his expression turned very sour and he was almost on the verge of losing it.

Serenity opened her mouth and was just about to speak when she felt something heavy on her arm. A delicate hand held her arm and she turned around to take a look, only to realize that it was John.

John had a smile plastered on his face while he gave an apologetic look to Zander. “Mayor Hall, 1 am very sorry. Serenity has created much trouble for you today and | hope you will not take it to heart. | will definitely reprimand her later.”

Zander’s facial expression still remained very sour as he straightened the creases on his blouse. “That better be the case.” After he said his piece, he walked away in big strides.

Serenity wanted to chase after him, but she was grabbed by the hand by John. She tried to struggle out of his grip. However, her efforts were futile and she could only watch Zander leave with her eyes wide open.

She turned around and angrily glared at John. “Mr. Grant, mind your own business!”

In contrast to her angry expression, John wore an indifferent and calm expression on his face. “There are many reporters here. If you don’t want to hit the headlines tomorrow, please be mindful of your words and actions.”

Her lips slightly curled upwards to form a smirk, which was clearly filled with sarcasm. “If that’s the case, why are you, a married man, holding my hand?” John let go of her wrist and clenched his fists. The warmth from her hand still lingered on his fingertips while he slightly rubbed his two fingers together before saying in a speed neither too fast nor too slow, “Regardless of what important matters you have today, it’s not suitable to carry it out now.”

At the backdoor of the banquet hall, Gabriel witnessed that scene with a glass of champagne in his hand. Beside him was Linda, who stuck to him like a piece of bubble gum.

Linda was not aware that Serenity was pestering Zander for an interview and, upon seeing that Gabriel had taken a few glances at her, she immediately defamed her. “Ms. Serenity is a member of a noble family, and yet she still dared to pester Mayor Hall under the public’s eyes. She is really the disgrace to her family.”

Gabriel retracted his gaze and swayed the glass of champagne while his face remained devoid of expression. It was unknown as. to whether he was really listening to her or not.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Linda purposely came to hit on him, and yet, upon seeing that he had no reaction, she continued, “Mayor Hall is already so old and he could even be her father. Does she have no shame?”

Previously, at Master Samson's birthday banquet, Gabriel had accepted Serenity’s invitation and danced his first dance with her.

She seemed to be very special to him, and hence, Linda simply wanted to know Gabriel's views on Serenity.

Gabriel shifted his gaze to look at her and said in a peaceful and calm tone of voice, “Ms. Sawyer, if saying a few words to another man is considered as shameless, ever since | entered the banquet hall, you have continuously talked to me using your father’s name. So what's that considered as?”

His casual and gentle words were just like a slap across Linda’s face and her face turned paler.

Of course, Gabriel was not speaking up for Serenity. It was just that this woman kept talking to him and made him feel very annoyed as she was too noisy.

Linda was a woman born with extraordinary looks, and she got along very well with the scions of many noble families. However, she could not help but put her guard up and feel nervous whenever she talked to that cold and indifferent Gabriel.

The man before her had a presence that was too strong for her to handle. Moreover, it was very difficult to figure him out or understand his emotions. Thus, she needed to be careful around him..
