His face paled. Such words triggered him because he hated this reality and how powerless he was to do anything about it. He closed his eyes and suppressed the pain in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his usual calmness. “So what?”
He walked around Selena and headed towards the study. Selena watched his broad back approach the door. “Would you still want her even if she bore Gabriel’s child?”
He stopped in his tracks. After a mont of silence, he slowly said, “As long as she’s willing to stay by my side, 1 shall treat her relationship with Gabriel as a small interlude. Her child is my child.”
He didn’t mind that she had married soone else or had soone else’s child.
All he needed was for her to willingly return to him – he would welco her back with open arms.
But…
Would she willingly do so?
After Selena caught up with John, Selena raised her hand to knock on the door only to hear Serenity’s slightly hoarse voice. “I’m already married. My relationship with my husband is very good. You’re an elder, so I respect you. However, please don’t question and insult my character.”
Selena looked at the man beside her. As expected, the man’s face had turned as pale as a piece of paper.
‘My husband and 1 have a very good relationship.*
The mont each word was uttered, they were chiseled onto John’s heart, hurting him so much that his heart started to tighten.
Old Master Samson’s furious roar ca right after, “Serenity! Is this how you talk to your elders?”
Then ca the sound of the vase shattering on the ground and Serenity’s muffled groan.
John could no longer care about civility as he barged into the room.
Helena was still in the living room when she heard Old Master Samson’s growl. Feeling uneasy, she started pacing around the living room restlessly. She turned to Mrs. Walter, who was also worried, and said, “Call President Jones and ask him to co over as soon as he can.”
Gabriel had just driven back to South Bay when his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar landline number so he placed his phone back in the glove compartnt and let it ring as he parked his car and lit a cigarette.
He had called the villa on his way back but Mrs. Winstead told him that she was not back yet.
When he had asked Caleb to check, he was told that she left the resort at around four in the afternoon. It only took an hour and a half to return to South Bay but it was already half past six she was still not ho. Where did she go?
Back at the Rivers residence, Mrs. Walter held the receiver and looked back at Helena Turner. “Madam, no one picked up the phone.”
Helena’s sense had been heightened and she was growing anxious trying to figure out what was happening in the study upstairs.
The phone in the glove compartnt of Gabriel’s car started to ring again. Gabriel furrowed his brows. It was that unfamiliar landline number again. He pressed the reject button in frustration and blacklisted it.
He tore off his tie and threw it on the passenger seat. He smoked two cigarettes in a row and lit the third one. With his other hand, he picked up his phone and browsed his contact list. He stopped at Serenity’s number and dialed it.
When Mrs. Walter called Gabriel again and it only rang once, she suspected that he had blocked the number since it was unfamiliar to him.
“Madam, 1 can’t get through,” said Mrs. Walter as she put down the receiver.
Helena didn’t know what to do anymore. All she could do now was to pray in her heart that Selena could persuade Old Master Samson.
A phone started to ring in the quiet living room. Helena Turner and Mrs. Walter looked over at the sa ti – it was coming from Serenity’s handbag on the sofa..
