He was right. Only Caleb and Francesca knew about her relationship with Gabriel in the company. Her belly would get bigger in three months and she would not be able to hide it then.
She tried to negotiate with him. “Then give me three months.”
Gabriel frowned, but seeing that she had made a concession, he did not insist. “Alright.”
The two lay down on the bed and Gabriel pulled her into his embrace. She shifted uncomfortably and his deep and hoarse voice rang out beside her ear. “1’11 forgive you on account that you’re pregnant, but you still have to behave yourself.”
Serenity scoffed, amused. He was so cold in public yet so shameless in private.
She laughed so hard that her back rubbed lightly against his chest.
His breathing paused and his hands around her waist tightened. He turned her body so that she was facing him.
“It seems that you don’t intend to let me rest.”
Serenity muttered as she said, “1 didn’t do it on purpose.”
Gabriel kissed her seriously yet gently.
After the long kiss, his eyes darkened as the two panted slightly.
Gabriel pressed his forehead against hers and said, “There’s still one more day. If you can’t say it, 1’11 invite your father and talk it out over dinner.”
Serenity stiffened, knowing he wasn’t joking and so she shouldn’t sit on it any longer.
He was the one who hugged her and yet he was the one finding it hard to sleep. Serenity was the same so they talked quietly for a while.
More than half of the afternoon break had passed. Serenity did not dare stay any longer in case the others grew suspicious when she left the office later. She put on her shoes and got out of bed. “It’s almost time.”
Gabriel sat up and hugged her from behind. With slight dissatisfaction, he said, “1 never thought that I, Gabriel Jones, would have an affair one day.”
Serene stood up, turned around, bent over, and looked at him. Her calm eyes were as bright as the stars and as black as a meteorite. “I’m the legitimate Mrs. Jones.”
Gabriel let her go and sat casually on the bed – one leg propped up on the bed while the other hung over the side. His left hand was casually placed on his bent left knee while his right hand leaned on the bed.
The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing his honey-colored skin. With his usual indifference, he looked quite elegant sitting on the bed.
“You’ll be the real Mrs. Jones when you move into South Bay.” A smile appeared in his eyes.
Of course, she knew he was hinting at her to move to his place quickly.
“I have the paperwork. Even if 1 haven’t moved into your territory, I’m still Mrs. Jones by law.”
Gabriel smiled. She was still leaning toward him, supporting herself with her hands on her thighs. If he wanted to, he could touch her just by reaching out.
He patted her head, leaned over, and kissed the corner of her lips. “You sure know how to act arrogant.”
She smiled. “Well, you need to know how to treat me right.”
Her eyes were sparkling like black jade that had been washed in water. It was very comforting to look at.
Gabriel’s mood lightened and his deep black eyes had a clear glow.
“As long as you are obedient, you will enjoy this kind of treatment for the rest of your life, and it will be…” He paused for a moment. “Forever.”
The words ‘forever’ sounded like a promise.
Serenity felt exceptionally happy. “You said it yourself. Don’t go back on your words.”
He nodded and replied in a warm voice. “I won’t..”
