Every time she ate Mrs. Watsonâs chestnut chicken, she would sigh emotionally. Back then, she had asked, âMrs. Watson, your cooking has improved again. Why arenât you our chef? This way, 1 can eat your chestnut chicken every day.â
Although Mrs. Watson was already old, she was still young at heart. She had long known that Serenityâs relationship with John was not ordinary.
Mrs. Watson smiled and said, âWhen you marry Third Young Master in the future, 1â11 cook for you every day, as long as you donât get tired of it.â
Serenityâs eyes lit up when she heard that. Then, she hugged Johnâs arm and coyly said, âJohn, letâs get married after 1 graduate from university.â
John had a gentle smile on his face as he caressed her hair. âJudging from your tone, it seems youâd rather not wait until then.â
She pouted and glared at him with clear and bright eyes. âYou have to marry me anyway.â
The smile in Johnâs eyes deepened. âIf it werenât for the fact that youâre not old enough, 1 would have registered our marriage right now. Iâve wanted you to be mine a long time ago.â
That year, she was only eighteen years old and he had just celebrated his twentieth birthday. Unfortunately, he married someone else before she graduated from university.
Now, Serenity looked at the plate of chestnut chicken and calmly said, â1 donât like old things anymore.â
John froze as his tightly pursed lips turned pale. It was as if a hammer had smashed into his heart and he almost convulsed in pain.
Mrs. Watson didnât know what she meant and thought that Serenity was referring to the ingredients. âI just bought the chicken and chestnuts today. Theyâre fresh.â
âOh,â said Serenity before turning silent.
Selena noticed John wasnât looking too good so she quickly placed a piece of the chestnut chicken on Serenityâs plate to break the stiff atmosphere. âSerene, eat more.â
Though Serenity ate her meal, she ignored the piece of chestnut chicken, as though to emphasize her point.
It didnât matter to her that Selena was the one who served it to her.
John looked at the piece of chicken remaining on Serenityâs plate and his heart was filled with complicated emotions.
After the meal, Mrs. Watson cleared the bowls and chopsticks. When she saw that the chestnut chicken hadnât been touched much, she started to wonder if Serenity was right and that the ingredients werenât as fresh as she had thought.
Serenity did not want to get in Johnâs car so after dinner, she carried Eva Grant to the lawn in the back garden for a walk. She wanted to wait until John went to the hospital before leaving.
As she walked with Eva, she was surprised to find a swimming pool beside the flower garden. When he first brought her to the villa, she had said, âIf only there was a swimming pool here.â
At that time, he held her hand and said, âWhen I have money, Iâll definitely build a swimming pool for you here.â
This was where the Grant family and Chris had promised to let Nina Hess stay while John stayed in the main residence. After Ninaâs death, John moved here.
Although he was the third young master of the Grant family, his relationship with Chris Grant had been strained because of Ninaâs death. He was unwilling to spend Chrisâs money, hence why he had to wait to make the swimming pool.
The swimming pool wasnât here when she left for California, which meant that it was built after.
However, he was already married to Selena at that time. What was the point of installing the swimming pool then?
She couldnât figure it out, nor could she understand.
An hour later, she led Eva Grant into the living room. But John was still there.
Her head heated up and she blurted out her thoughts. âArenât you going to the hospital? Why havenât you left yet?â
John looked at her and said, âI have to send you back first.â
She couldnât get a taxi near the villa, so she nodded and said, âThank you, Brother-In-Law.â
The two of them sat in silence throughout the journey. When they arrived at the Rivers residence, Serenity got out of the car and reminded him of what she had heard from Mrs. Grant and her son at the hospital.
âBe careful of Mrs. Grant and her sons. I heard them talking about the Grant Groupâs shares at the hospital today.â
But John was not surprised at all. â1 know..â
