There was a knock on the door and Gabriel allowed the person in. Serenity pushed the door open and entered with two cups of coffee.
She glanced at the three. Other than Gabriel, the other two didnât look too good.
Suliaâs expression was ugly and Lindaâs eyes were red against her pale face as if she had suffered a huge blow.
Serenity walked over and quietly placed the coffee on the glass round table beside the sofa. She wanted to greet Sulia, but under such circumstances, she couldnât bring herself to no matter what.
Just as she was about to leave, Sulia called out to her. âMs. Serenity, bring Linda to the reception room. I have something to discuss with President Jones.â
The way Sulia called her âMs. Serenityâ was stiff and distant, indirectly meaning that she did not acknowledge her as her daughter-in-law.
And when she addressed Gabriel as âPresident Jonesâ, Sulia was deliberately trying to emphasize the professional relationship between Serenity and Gabriel.
Linda tightened her grip on the strap of her bag and looked at Sulia before following Serenity out of the office.
Serenity led Linda to the reception room and poured her some water. âIâm not done with my work yet so 1 will be returning to my desk now. You may rest here for a while.â
Linda bit her lip as she looked at Serenity. âPresident Jones has a wife now. Is that person you?â
Serenity stopped in her tracks and met Lindaâs questioning gaze. With calmness in her heart, she said, âYes.â
Lindaâs face instantly contorted as a fierce hatred grew in her eyes only to be masked by the curtain of eyelashes as she looked down.
Serenity watched Lindaâs expression carefully.
Linda remained silent so Serenity took that as her cue to leave. When she returned to her seat, Serenity was no longer in the mood to work. She looked at the closed door of the presidentâs office and felt a little restless.
Meanwhile, in the presidentâs office, Sulia said, âIf you donât like Linda, I wonât force you. But you donât have to marry any random woman just to piss me off.â Gabriel picked up the cup of coffee beside him and took a sip. Then, he coldly yet unhurriedly said, âI decided to marry Serenity after careful consideration.â âWhat if your dad and I donât agree?â Suliaâs expression turned ugly.
The manâs deep pupils seemed to have been dyed with thick ink like agate. âThen shall I take it that you wonât care about your grandchild anymore?â
âYou meanâ¦â Sulia looked at him in shock.
Gabriel leaned against the back of the chair lazily. âIf thereâs nothing else, you can go back now.â
Sulia took a few steps forward, her eyes were filled with surprise and excitement. âIs what you just said true?â
âYou donât even plan to let her enter the Jones family. Why are you concerned about this?â His lips curled up teasingly.
Sulia couldnât be bothered to argue with him. She just wanted to know the truth of what he had just said. âChild, Iâm asking you a question. Is it true?â
âYes,â said Gabriel frankly.
But then, Suliaâs excitement disappeared as quickly as it appeared because there was still the issue of the grandchildâs motherâ¦
Sulia needed to think about this entire situation properly. Not just anyone could enter the Jones family.
Besides, she still had to discuss this matter with Keith. She did not dare to tell him about their sonâs marriage. With his temper, Keith would definitely reprimand him..
