Calvin ignored his outstretched hand and smiled evilly. âYouâve already stolen my girlfriend. How do you expect me to react?â
President Fulton choked on his words. âI did not know about the relationship between Ms. Serenity and you beforehand.â
Calvin could no longer be bothered with him and looked at Benjamin Rivers. âMr. Rivers, Iâll visit you again another day, but tonight, 1 will be taking Serenity with me.â
Benjamin was silent, unable to figure out a way to respond without embarrassing himself in front of President Fulton.
Although the Fulton family was not big, Benjamin Rivers had been in the business world for many years. He knew that having one more friend meant opening up more than one path, and one less enemy meant one less obstacle to success.
Calvin noticed Serenity still seated, so he gave her a look but she was still in a daze and did not react. Calvin was about to go crazy.
Shouldnât she be more focused and cooperate with him?
Afraid that others would see through him, he crouched beside her legs and stared at her. âItâs my fault for making you angry. I promise I wonât do it again. If you want to get married, Iâll bring you to meet my parents tomorrow and then prepare for the wedding.â
These words were said with such deep affection that those who didnât know better would think that Serenity was an insensible little woman who only knew how to throw a tantrum.
Serenity gave the situation a thought and decided to cooperate with him. âThen no matter how busy you are in the future, you canât ignore my calls, lest I let my imagination run wild.â
Other than Mrs. Fulton and President Fultonâs daughter, everyone knew what kind of person Calvin Gilbert was, which immediately prevented âinsensibleâ from further tarnishing Serenityâs image.
Calvin still ended up being in the wrong. His face darkened, not expecting this woman to have such a sharp tongue.
He put on a fake smile and said, âAlright, 1â11 be sure to answer all your calls in the future.â
Serenity picked up her handbag and stood up. Calvin Gilbert wrapped his arm around her shoulders and turned to Benjamin Rivers and Helena Turner. âMr. and Mrs. Rivers, weâll be leaving first.â
Benjamin could only nod expressionlessly.
A waiter was standing at the door of the private room. At the snap of Calvin Gilbertâs fingers, the waiter walked in. âPut this meal on my tab.â
âYes, Young Master,â said the waiter respectfully.
Mrs. Fultonâs eyes widened. No wonder this man spoke so boldly. This restaurant was one of the many businesses run by his family.
After they left the restaurant, Calvin Gilbert let go of Serenity and took out his car keys. He threw them to the valet beside him and turned to look at Serenity. âI was wondering why you had suddenly called me and agreed to the marriage. Turns out it was because you were forced to this extent.â
The night wind was a little chilly so Serenity adjusted her coat to cover herself a little better. There was no sarcasm in Calvin Gilbertâs words, but she felt unusually uncomfortable.
âI think you need to do a DNA test to make sure youâre Benjamin Riversâs biological daughter,â said Calvin teasingly.
Although he was an outsider, he was certain that Benjamin Rivers would not have treated her marriage so simply if this was Selena. He would have chosen an outstanding son-in-law seriously.
âCalvin Gilbert.â Serenity suddenly called his name.
Calvin noticed how serious she had turned and quickly put away the mischievous smile on his face, waiting for her to continue.
He thought she was going to say something big, but unexpectedly, she slowly said, âWhether or not someone asked you to do this, I have to thank you tonight..â
