She looked at Gabriel. âYou can continue with your conversation. Iâll help Mrs. Winstead.â
Gabriel nodded as Serenity walked quickly into the kitchen, leaving space for the mother and son.
In the living room, Sulia coldly asked, âIf i hadnât bumped into you today, you wouldnât have told Dad and me about your marriage, would you?â
Gabriel poured some water into a glass and placed it on the coffee table in front of her. He then sat down on the armchair and said,â 1â11 introduce her to you at the main residence soon.â
Sulia tried to persuade him to reconsider Serenity. âMrs. Ruthâs daughter Linda is not bad. She is well-educated and has a good temperament-â
âMom.â Gabriel interrupted her as his already expressionless face turned cold. With a stern firmness in his voice, he said, âIâm a married man now. Are you trying to encourage your son to cheat on his wife?â
Sulia was speechless, unable to accept the fact that her son had gotten married so hastily.
âI have no intention of cheating, so whether Linda is good or bad has nothing to do with me.â
Serenity was in the kitchen assisting Mrs. Winstead, though that didnât prevent her from eavesdropping on the commotion outside. She vaguely heard Lindaâs name and yearned to hear more but the living room had fallen silent.
Mrs. Winstead saw how anxious Serenity was and tried to comfort her. âYoung Madam, donât worry. Madam just canât accept the news that Young Master has been married for a while. Sheâll be fine when sheâs less angry.â
Serenity nodded. Marriage was a big deal after all. Since Gabriel did not inform his family and simply registered his marriage with her, it was inevitable that his parents would be angry when they found out.
Honestly, she wasnât worried about their anger at their ignorance of familial procedure when it came to getting married. Instead, it was Suliaâs attitude toward Serenity that concerned the latter the most. She could tell that Madam Jones didnât like her.
Voices rang out from the living room again. With a straight face, Sulia said, âI donât even like her. Your father will never accept her into the Jones family nor agree to this marriage. You should have foreseen this before deciding to marry her.â
Gabrielâs expression did not change. âWhether you like her or not, sheâs my wife, and thus, sheâs a member of the Jones family.â
Suliaâs cold eyes looked at Gabrielâs stubborn face. Since he wasnât willing to listen, she got up and started to grab her coat.
Gabrielâs warm voice came from behind her. âIf you donât mind, you should leave after eating. Sereneâs cooking skills are not bad.â
Sulia was instantly triggered by his shameless words. How could she be in the mood to eat? Without saying another word, she picked up her bag from the sofa and left South Bay.
Serenity came out of the kitchen and saw that Gabriel was the only one left in the living room. âMom, stay for dinner. Mrs. Winstead even made two more dishes for you.â
Gabriel walked to the dining table and sat down. Some of the dishes were already served on the table but since they had been there for a while, they had turned cold. âIf you want to eat with her, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.â
Serenityâs face turned red. He made it sound like she really wanted to have a meal with her mother-in-law.
She brought the cold dishes back into the kitchen for Mrs. Winstead to reheat them.
Since Sulia was not around to join them for dinner, their meal that night was quite sumptuous for just two people.
The fish today was very fresh, so Mrs. Winstead braised the meat and used the fish head for a tofu soup.
Gabriel scooped a bowl of soup for Serenity but the moment she sipped it, she felt her stomach churning violently. She covered her mouth and ran into the washroom.
He knew something was not right so Gabriel quickly followed after his wife to find her leaning over the toilet bowl, vomiting. He frowned slightly.. âAre you feeling unwell?â
