His embrace was still warm, and his clothes smelled the same as before, but this embrace no longer belonged to her.
John felt her nervousness and looked down at her. His pursed lips moved, but he did not say anything.
The construction of the resort was very expensive. Not only did it have a holiday villa, hot springs, green lakes, horse farms, ecological farms, and many observation platforms, but it also had natural reserves with wildlife. The guest rooms were located at the holiday villas.
The ceremony was held in the banquet hall on the first floor of the holiday villas. Selena stood outside the banquet hall and looked around. She had called John many times, but no one answered.
From afar, she saw John carrying Serenity and walking towards them.
When Serenity saw Selena, she panicked. But she couldn’t reveal her guilty conscience either so she tried to calmly say, “My sister is here, let me down.”
John frowned slightly, but he still did as she said. He put her down gently but still held her arm with one hand.
Any other woman would have questioned her husband if she saw him treating another woman like this. But Selena didn’t.
She glanced at John and then at Serenity. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Serenity forced a smile with difficulty. She felt uneasy and pretended to be calm as she said, “Sis, I sprained my ankle, so Brother-in-Law is going to carry me back to the guest room.”
This sentence indirectly answered Selena’s question, explaining why John was carrying her.
When Selena heard that her sister had sprained her ankle, she said reproachfully, “You can’t even walk without worrying others. Is your injury serious?”
Seeing that Selena wasn’t angry, she heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s fine.”
Selena looked at John. “John, send Serene to the guest room. I’ll go to the car and see if there’s any medicine.”
Serenity was slightly stunned. She glanced at John’s handsome face and wanted to reject him. However, Selena did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. If she rejected him now, it would only make others feel guilty.
John nodded lightly.
The first floor of the villa was the banquet hall, the second floor was the restaurant, the third floor was the recreational club, and the remaining floors were the guest rooms.
But there was no need to go through the banquet hall on the first floor to reach the guest room. There was an elevator outside the banquet hall.
John carried Serenity and walked towards the elevator. After taking two steps, he paused and turned around to look at Linda, who was about to return to the banquet hall.
“Miss Linda, thank you for today.”
His sudden words of appreciation took Linda aback. She then smiled and said, “You’re welcome. Serene and I are good friends, so helping her is normal.”
John nodded and carried Serenity to the elevator.
Serenity pressed the button to open the door and the elevator door opened. John walked in and Serenity pressed the button to close the door.
The elevator closed and slowly ascended.
John was still carrying her in the elevator. After walking for such a long distance, he was still not out of breath at all. She said in a whisper, “Put me down. You should rest for a while.”
Hearing this, John looked at her. “You’re too thin. You haven’t grown much all these years.”
His casual remark made the atmosphere in the elevator tense up.
In the past…
Such a beautiful word was now a taboo for the two of them.
For a moment, both of them fell silent. In such a narrow space, it didn’t take much to hear each other’s breaths.
Suddenly, John broke the silence when he said, “Serene, have you hated me all these years?”
Hate him?
Probably not.
How could she hate a man whom she had loved with all her heart in her best years?
How could she bear to hate him at all?
