Love After a Steamy Affair Chapter 3 Everything Was Well

3 Everything Was Well
After he hung up the call, John Grant remained silent for a while before calling the office line, which was answered by his assistant.
After the call was connected, he said, “Book a dinner appointment with President Jones of Zephyr Group.”
Alfred replied, “Yes, President Grant.”
The President’s office was located on the 28th floor. Standing in front of the curtained window, John was wearing a white blouse and had his sleeves folded up, showing off his muscular arms.
He clearly remembered that evening when Serenity left three years ago. She destroyed all of their photos and threw away everything that was related to him. Her determined tone of voice was filled with hatred.
“John Grant, let’s hope that we will never meet again in this life.”
He closed his eyes and gently mumbled, “Serene…”
…
Serenity sat in the backseat with her eyes closed. It was not until Mr. Geoffrey had told her that they had arrived that she opened her eyes.
Mr. Geoffrey got down from the car and opened the car door for her. Upon looking at the bungalow in front of her, she froze and furrowed her delicate eyebrows slightly. “What are we doing here at the Grant family’s place?”
Mr. Geoffrey obediently replied, “Miss Selena said that she had not seen you for three years and told me to fetch you here for a meal.”
Serenity pursed her pale lips. It had been three years, and if it was not for her grandfather, Master Samson who was going to celebrate his 80th birthday, she probably would never have come back here again.
Regardless of whether it was California, England, or Canada, as long as it was not her birth country, she was willing to live there forever even if it meant that she was going to be alone forever.
The maids of the Grant family led her to the living room, and Selena Rivers happened to be walking down the stairs. Upon seeing Serenity, who was standing at the entrance, her spirits were immediately lifted.
“Serene, you are finally willing to come back.”
When Serenity left the country, Selena had gone to send her off at the airport. Serenity’s eyes had been filled with disappointment and despair. “I am never coming back again, and I will not give you my blessings.”
In another week, it would be John and Selena’s wedding. Since she could not stop the wedding, she could only choose to escape.
After she left the country, she cut off contact with everybody. She did not even sign in to her Facebook account anymore.
This carried on until one day, she suddenly called her dad, Benjamin Rivers as she needed a large sum of money, and she regained her contact with her family.
She had not seen her for three years, and Selena, who was already married, had become prettier than before.
She was wearing a light-green-colored dress, which had elegant orchids embroidered on the collar. The dress showed off her fair-as-snow and long, slender legs.
She’d cut her long hair, and her delicate hair was slightly curled at the end. It was dyed a beautiful maroon color, which matched her fair and peachy skin tone. It made her look very fashionable and pretty.
She slowly walked down the stairs and had the gentle demeanor that a girl who came from a rich family should have.
“Sis,” greeted Serenity gently. She no longer had the cute and soft voice she had in the past.
Selena went down the stairs and dragged Serenity in while looking at her from head to toe.
She looked much slimmer than before. It was as if she was only left with bones.
Selena felt very sorry for her and said, “Are you not doing well in California?”
“Nope, I am doing okay.” Whenever someone asked her about her situation in California, she would always reply with an “It is okay.”
Selena Rivers knew that her sister had a stubborn personality. If she was not willing to say it, it would be pointless asking her.
Upon seeing Serenity’s heavy eyebags, she said, “Go get some rest upstairs. When you are awake, I will ask the kitchen staff to make your favorite dishes.”
“Okay.” She was indeed tired and immediately went upstairs after replying to her big sister. She was familiar with the Grant residence and, thus, reached the guest room in no time.
She entered the bathroom to take a bath. After her bath, she came out to dry her hair before lying on the bed and slowly closing her eyes.
She could not sleep peacefully. She still had those weird nightmares as usual.
