Chapter 407: He’s Still Thinking About You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When it was the day of the pregnancy checkup, Gabriel had not returned from the business trip. She was already expecting to go to the hospital alone only to find someone else in the living room when she came downstairs.
“Why are you here?” She looked at Francesca in surprise.
“Young Madam, President Jones asked me to accompany you to the hospital,” said Francesca gently.
It seemed that he still remembered the date. Serenity nodded. “Let’s go.”
Mrs. Winstead noticed how thin the clothes Serenity was wearing so the former handed the latter a red coat on the hanger at the entrance.
How could Serenity refuse Mrs. Winstead’s kind intentions? The former took off her jacket and put on the coat. Then, Serenity grabbed her bag and left the living room with Francesca following behind her.
Because Francesca had made an appointment in advance, they went straight to the hospital for the checkup. After a series of examinations, the doctor said, “The child is very healthy. It’s just that you must have been in a bad mood recently, Madam. Manic depression will affect the growth of the fetus. So pregnant women need to pay more attention to their emotions and find ways to relax.”
The doctor wasn’t wrong. Serenity’s mind had been preoccupied with Gabiel lately, depressing her mood. She had also been frequenting the hospital for Master Samson. She nodded and said, “I know. Thank you, Doctor.”
On the way back from the hospital, she pretended to complain in an attempt to get news about Gabriel from Francesca. “It’s tough being pregnant. It’s fine if he doesn’t have time to accompany me usually. But he doesn’t even accompany me to the pregnancy check-up.”
Francesca, who was focused on driving, smiled when she heard Serenity’s words. “President Jones is still out of town so he can’t accompany you to the hospital. Since he called me early this morning, I’m sure he still misses you.”
Hearing that he was still out of town, Serenity fell deep in thought. She took advantage of the situation and asked, “He didn’t come to the hospital today but he must want to know how the child is doing. When will he be back? I really want to share this joy with him.”
“He’ll be back after he’s done with his work,” said Francesca ambiguously.
Serenity still couldn’t get the answer she wanted, so she leaned back in her seat in frustration.
Francesca glanced at her from the rearview mirror. Seeing how unhappy Serenity was, she said, “Young Madam, the doctor said that you have to stay happy for the child.”
Serenity did not respond as she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. She could not understand why Gabriel was angry.
Francesca sent Serenity back to South Bay before leaving. As soon as the car drove out of South Bay, she called Gabriel. The call was picked up not long after it rang and Serenity relayed the doctor’s words during the pregnancy check-up without missing a single word.
Gabriel was silent for a moment after hearing that. “Got it.” And with that, he hung up the phone and dialed another number. “Auntie, do you have time?” “How can I help?” Wendy Jones was a little surprised to hear an incoming request from Gabriel.
“Since Serenity doesn’t have many friends, please spend some time with her when you can,” said Gabriel.
It was rare for him to ask her for help. Moreover, she liked Serenity quite a bit, so she agreed.

Serenity woke up from her afternoon nap with nothing to do so she went downstairs to watch television. Other than Mrs. Winstead, she noticed a few unfamiliar faces in the living room. “Mrs. Winstead, they are…”
“This is the new servant.” Mrs. Winstead introduced the three new servants. Two of them were maids and the only male was the driver. He was only in his twenties and was transferred from the main residence.
The three newcomers greeted Serenity in unison. “Young Madam”. Serenity smiled and nodded at them. Then, she looked at Mrs.. Winstead and asked curiously, “Why do you suddenly need so many servants?”
