Gabriel was not busy at all, merely standing by the window deep in thought. As she pushed the door open and entered, he turned around to look at her.
Looking at his calm and expressionless face, Serenity didnât continue walking forward. He must still be in a bad mood as he had been for the past two days.
âMadam Jones called for us to return to the main residence this weekend,â said she softly.
Gabriel remained silent for a moment. He had changed out of his suit after dinner and was wearing a thin collared shirt and a pair of flaxen casual pants. He looked refined and a little more approachable than when he was in his usual suit. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou donât want to bring me back to the Jonesâs main residence, do you?â asked she cautiously.
Sulia had just said on the phone that Gabriel either refused to answer her calls or found all sorts of excuses to abide. She couldnât think of any other good reason besides him not wanting to introduce her to his family.
As she gazed at him doubtfully, his eyes turned dark and cold. He walked to the desk and pulled out a drawer. He took out a black velvet box. âI prepared it a week ago. Do you still want it?â
He had wanted to give it to her that night, but a series of things had happened in the past few days, so he had not given it to her.
She could already guess what was inside the velvet box. So he was planning to bring her back to the Jonesâs main residence.
Gabrielâs eyes were still emotionless as he calmly said, âThe misunderstanding between you and John has already been resolved. So, do you want this ring?â âYou knew about it?â She looked at him in surprise.
âDid you know that John married your sis for you?â He looked at the item in his hands and looked up after a while. âActually, they were never married in the first place. They simply lived under the same roof for three years.â
Her bright eyes turned pale and fragile as she bit her lip. âWhen did you find out?â
âThe night you came back in the rain, â said he calmly.
âYou investigated me?â She frowned.
Gabrielâs gaze was locked on her. There was a smile on his lips, but it did not reach his eyes. There was even a hint of coldness mixed in. âEven Mrs. Winstead felt that you were acting strangely that night. Do you think Iâm Stupid?â
Serenity pursed her lips and closed the distance between them. She took the black velvet box from his hand and opened it. Inside was a ring with petals and gemstones surrounded by tiny diamonds.
She put the ring on her ring finger. It was just the right size, making her slender finger look even fairer and more delicate as the gemstones reflected a fine light.
She did not take it off. âIâll wait for you at home tomorrow. After you get off work, weâll go buy presents for Mom and Dad. If you donât have time, you can tell me what they like. Iâll go buy it myself.â
Gabriel looked at her in shock and did not react for a moment. He thought that as long as John opened his mouth or gave her a look, she would jump back into his arms.
He had been waiting for the past two days for her to file for divorce, but instead, she put on the wedding ring in front of him.
Serenity ignored the surprise in his eyes and calmly said, âAre you free tomorrow?â
