Perhaps the only thing he knew clearly was that he wanted to possess her and no one else could.
When Gabriel asked about her days in California, Serenity fell silent. Those three years in California were probably the worst and
most difficult days of her life.
Back then, she was sure that no one would know or bat an eyelid if she died in a foreignnd.
Serenity was foolishly allowing herself to be humiliated and riddling herself with holes just to make her beloved turn around and
look at her. However, it was all in vain.
Gabriel snapped out of his thoughts and looked back at Serenity, noticing how pale her face had turned. He recalled the
information Caleb ryed to him about Serenity, that she and John were once a couple who were as close as glue. But they
broke up because John wanted to marry Selena.
As for why the sudden marriage happened, Gabriel did not ask Caleb to look into that. From a businessman’s point of view, John
would gain more benefits from marrying Selena than marrying Serenity since thetter was not favored by the Rivers family.
Gabriel acknowledged John to be an outstanding person in the business world. The Grants were thriving thanks to John’s
leadership, but his methods were not ruthless enough.
For Gabriel, he simply believed in one thing ever since he entered the business world: Benevolence to the enemy was cruelty to
oneself.
Therefore, when it came to work, he had always been decisive and never gave the other party any chance to breathe.
After the meal, Gabriel went to the balcony to smoke. Serenity cleaned up the dishes and brought them into the kitchen to wash
them. Then, she ced the dishes and utensils into the cupboard, ready to leave the kitchen. She felt a little full and wanted to
rx in the room for a while to digest her food.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
As Gabriel leaned back against the balcony with a cigarette in hand, he saw Serenity getting ready to leave. His gaze turned
gentler than usual.
She was wearing earphones and her fingers swiped across the screen. She was probably listening to music. asionally, she
would hum softly and her ponytail swayed as she walked, making her look even more beautiful and lively.
Gabriel''s attention was fixed on her the entire time as he took a deep puff of his cigarette. The wind was blowing from the river,
turning his jet-ck hair into a mess.
When he was in university, he had done many crazy things. Now, he had long passed that impulsive age, but an idea still popped
up in his mind.
If he couldn''t have this woman, no one else could.
Serenity took out a bottle of mineral water from the fridge. Just as she was about to unscrew the cap, she remembered that this
was someone else’s. She took another bottle, closed the fridge, and walked towards him.
She handed over the unopened bottle of water in her hand. “Want a drink?”
Gabriel put the cigarette in his mouth, took the bottle, and ced it on the balcony. He removed the cigarette from his mouth with
two fingers, and his deep eyes were covered by his messy hair, making them look even darker.
Serenity opened her bottle and tilted her head back to take a sip. When she did so, her fair and slender neck revealed her snow-
white skin as delicate as jade.
The view of the presidential suite was wider than that of ordinary rooms, so they could see the entire river. The ships slowly
moved but they were quite visible. The tall buildings on the opposite shore provided quite a spectacr background.
Serenity couldn’t help butin that the view in her room wasn’t as good.”
Upon hearing this, Gabriel turned to look at her. His gaze fell on her quiet little face and he could not look away.
The bright sunlight shone from the opposite side of her face, making her face even more gentle and fair. The strands of hair on
both sides of her face were blown by the wind — Serenity was looking quite charming to Gabriel at the
moment..
