Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity instinctively flinched and shifted toward the inner sidewalk. When she finally turned to look at the car, she saw Calvin getting out angrily. He marched up to her and scolded her. “Serenity, are you crazy? You didn’t even say goodbye before you left. Do you think the whole world revolves around you?”
It was only then that Serenity remembered that Calvin Gilbert had gone to look for her. She had forgotten to inform him about her leaving, so she apologized gently, “I’m sorry. 1 was in a hurry just now, so-”
Calvin, being his hot-tempered self, interrupted her. “What’s the use of being sorry?!”
He couldn’t find her anywhere in the restaurant just now and grew worried that something had happened to her. He almost lost all his lives trying to explain himself to John earlier. How could she leave without saying a word?
The more he remembered how anxious he was earlier, the more the fire of anger burned within him. “Serenity, although we’re about to get engaged, I’m not like Joh… I’m not like other men who will always focus on you. Once we’ve settled the engagement, you can disappear all you want, but please don’t do it in front of me, and not at this moment. 1 don’t have time to play hide-and-seek with you!”
Serenity did not notice the name he was about to say earlier so she didn’t react much. Moreover, it was her fault for leaving so suddenly, so she let him vent his emotions.
If she hadn’t left with Gabriel, Calvin Gilbert would have guessed what had happened when she went to the washroom just based on how she looked.
Once Calvin was done venting his anger, he finally noticed that Serenity’s head was hung low as if he was bullying her. He was unhappy and was about to curse but managed to hold himself back.
“Why did you suddenly leave?” asked he exasperately.
Serenity still had her head lowered when she said, “1 felt a little uncomfortable, so I left first.”
“Couldn’t you have at least told me? If you’re not feeling well, do you think 1’11 insist on having dinner with you?”
Serenity remained silent, which only further infuriated Calvin.
He opened the car door behind him, took out her bag, and threw it at her. Then he got back into his car with a slam of his car door before speeding off.
After driving for a while, he held the steering wheel with one hand and put on his Bluetooth headset with the other to call someone who had also grown anxious.
John had just left his place and was about to call Calvin to ask if he had found her when he received the call. He swiped his phone to answer it.
Calvin’s irritable voice said, “Worry my ass. She’s already home. Go wash up and sleep!”
With a screech of the tire, John suddenly turned the steering wheel and the car stopped by the roadside. He sounded uncertain as he asked, “Are you sure she’s fine?”
“D*mn it!” Calvin cursed. “This friend of yours met her outside the Rivers residence with all limbs still attached!”
John looked at the road ahead and his nervous heart gradually calmed down. “That’s good.”
But Calvin kept going. “What did 1 do in my previous life to be this unlucky and get my life wrapped around the two of you?! If I had ten lives, I’ve just lost two!”
John patiently listened to his friend complain. Once the latter was done venting, John thanked him and hung up.
Then, John opened his phone book and found Serenity’s number. He wanted to call her to make sure she was truly fine. Otherwise, why would she leave for no reason?
But the call was cut off as soon as it was made. He put his phone in the glove compartment, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and ended up smoking half a pack of cigarettes before turning the car around and driving back..
