Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Back in the room, Serenity hugged a pillow and leaned against the bed, thinking about Jocelyn White’s words.
Not long after, Gabriel returned. He noticed her clothes and asked, “You haven’t showered yet?”
“I have. But because you still weren’t back, I went out to look for you.” She could have changed back into his shirt earlier but she didn’t.
Gabriel’s clothes were either branded or high-end custom-made. It would be a pity to wear them as pajamas.
Gabriel took a cup of water and walked towards the dispenser. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, “A tourist lost something valuable and called the police.”
“No wonder when 1 went to look for you just now, there wasn’t even a staff member on the entire floor.”
Those who could stay in the VIP room were rich people, so they would definitely not let go of the lost items.
“They’ve all been brought in for questioning.” He drank a few mouthfuls to soothe his throat. His dry and hoarse voice gradually regained its luster. “You sleep first. I’ll go take a shower.”
As she listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Serenity did not feel sleepy at all. Instead, she felt a little confused.
Gabrieli came out of the bathroom and saw her staring at the television with a lifeless gaze. However, the television was turned off. He laid down beside her. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m waiting for you so we can sleep together,” said she as she curled up next to him.
Gabriel removed his bathrobe and tossed it aside. He raised his hand to switch off the lights and lay down to hug her. He kissed her on the forehead. “Go to sleep.”
Serenity hummed a soft reply. However, she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. After a few minutes, she asked, “Are you asleep?”
“What’s wrong?” Gabriel was already half-asleep.
Serenity bit her lip, but the words she wanted to ask hesitated to leave her mouth.
She couldn’t lose her cool just because of Jocelyn White’s words. Perhaps that woman was trying to sow discord between them.
With this thought in mind, she decided not to ask any of her questions.
“Nothing. 1 just can’t sleep in this unfamiliar environment.”
Gabriel knew about this problem of hers. It was the same when she had just moved into South Bay.
“Then shall we do something?” He hugged her hand tightly.
As he spoke, he kissed her. Serenity leaned against his chest. “The resort is so big. If I sleep late, 1 won’t be able to wake up tomorrow morning.”
Gabriel only wanted to tease her. She was not even three months pregnant yet, so he would have to bear the consequences if she got into trouble.
“If you really can’t sleep, I’ll talk to you,” said he as he lay down again.
He rested his chin on her head and sniffed the fragrance of her hair. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Tell me about your past,” said she, unable to think of anything good to talk about.
“My past?” Gabriel’s voice rose slightly.
“Yes.” She paused for a moment. She was about to continue, but she hesitated again before she finally said, “You and your first girlfriend.”
She could feel him stiffen for a moment. Although it was only for a short moment, she still felt it.
The quiet room fell eerily silent. He did not speak for a long time.
“There’s nothing to say,” said he coldly.
“But-”
‘I want to know’ were the next words to leave her mouth before he interrupted her.
“Serene, you have John, and I have a past. There’s nothing to pursue.”
She could not see his expression in the dark, but she could tell from his tone that he did not like to talk about this topic or his past.
“I’m sleepy. Let’s sleep,” said she in a soft whisper as she leaned closer into his embrace..
