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. âSo what?â
He walked around Selena and headed towards the study. Selena watched his broad back approach the door. âWould you still want her even if she bore Gabrielâs child?â
He stopped in his tracks. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, âAs long as sheâs willing to stay by my side, 1 shall treat her relationship with Gabriel as a small interlude. Her child is my child.â
He didnât mind that she had married someone else or had someone elseâs child.
All he needed was for her to willingly return to him â he would welcome her back with open arms.
Butâ¦n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Would she willingly do so?
After Selena caught up with John, Selena raised her hand to knock on the door only to hear Serenityâs slightly hoarse voice. âIâm already married. My relationship with my husband is very good. Youâre an elder, so I respect you. However, please donât question and insult my character.â
Selena looked at the man beside her. As expected, the manâs face had turned as pale as a piece of paper.
âMy husband and 1 have a very good relationship.*
The moment each word was uttered, they were chiseled onto Johnâs heart, hurting him so much that his heart started to tighten.
Old Master Samsonâs furious roar came right after, âSerenity! Is this how you talk to your elders?â
Then came the sound of the vase shattering on the ground and Serenityâs 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 Samsonâs growl. Feeling uneasy, she started pacing around the living room restlessly. She turned to Mrs. Walter, who was also worried, and said, âCall President Jones and ask him to come over as soon as he can.â
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 compartment 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 home. Where did she go?
Back at the Rivers residence, Mrs. Walter held the receiver and looked back at Helena Turner. âMadam, no one picked up the phone.â
Helenaâs 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 compartment of Gabrielâs 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 Serenityâs 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.
âMadam, 1 canât get through,â said Mrs. Walter as she put down the receiver.
Helena didnât 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 same time â it was coming from Serenityâs handbag on the sofa..
