Calvin heard the deadline coming from the phone and he threw it on the shelf in anger. He took two deep breaths and dialed another number.
John was about to get off work and go to the hospital. He had just turned off his computer when he received a call from Calvin Gilbert.
He had been running between the company and the hospital for the past few days and was feeling so tired that he was a little numb. He pinched his tired eyebrows and answered the call.
Compared to earlier, Calvin Gilbert sounded much calmer. “I saw Serenity and Gabriel.”
John didn’t think too deeply about it as he glanced at his watch. They should be socializing at this time.
“What’s the big deal?”
“They were having a candlelight dinner together!”
Although there were no candles, there was red wine in an elegant Western restaurant. Moreover, they were alone. What was the difference between this and a candlelight dinner?
John’s expression changed slightly as his grip on the phone stiffened. He did not speak for a long time.
“If you don’t hurry up, she’ll become someone else’s,” said Calvin in a fit of anger. “If Chris Grant is still alive, just cut off his medication and pull out his oxygen tube!”
John hung up the phone without saying a word and looked out the French window at the neon scenery, his heart desolate.
Serenity had left the table when she picked up the call, making Gabriel a little unhappy, but he did not show it nor did he ask.
Today was their wedding day so he didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere.
Gabriel swirled the red wine in his hand. “I’ll give you a wedding after the baby.”
Although he did not explain why the wedding could not be held now, Serenity did not ask further. Perhaps he had his own reasons.
She nodded and said with a smile, “Whether there’s a wedding or not, I’m already your official wife now. If any shameless woman comes up to you, I won’t be lenient.”
Gabriel raised his eyebrows, revealing his bright eyes that had a hint of evilness.
“I pity those women so I shall keep myself clean in the future.”
Serenity put down the knife and fork in her hand, then rested her chin on her hand and blinked at him with her bright black eyes.
“Then will my life be boring moving forward?”
Gabriel’s face turned gentle as he gazed at her calmly. “Mrs. Jones, you’re pushing your luck.”
Serenity smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks.
“At least 1 have this chance. Others don’t.”
Gabriel was amused by her as the corners of his lips curled up slightly. If one looked closely, one could tell it was a genuine smile.
“I’ll accompany you home after dinner. Then, I’ll tell your parents about this and move your things to my place.”
She bit her lip and said, “The impact of this matter is a little big. I haven’t digested it myself. 1’11 tell them in a few days.”
“Are you saying we should live separately until then?” Gabriel frowned slightly. “Serene, we’re newlyweds.”
Serenity’s pretty face turned red as she lowered her head and her voice became softer than before.
“I’m pregnant. Even if I sleep on the same bed, 1 can’t… do that kind of thing.”
When Gabriel saw her blushing face, the thought of teasing her arose in his heart.
“So I’m going to be alone tonight?”
When he said this, she was drinking water so she almost spat it out. Fortunately, her good upbringing reminded her that she was in public.
Why did he sound so resentful?
