Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before they left the Rivers residence, Helena Turner had asked Mrs. Walter to pick some pomegranates for Serenity so the youngest daughter had no choice but to carry the fruits back with her.
On the way back, Gabriel suddenly asked, “Do you like to eat pomegranates?”
“I used to like it,” said she, surprised that he was asking her such a question.
Gabriel did not say anything else.
Yet, Serenity felt the need to explain further. “What happened at the Rivers residence earlier was just a coincidence. I didn’t expect him to be there in the garden too.”
“Alright,” said he calmly.
His reaction was a little dull and Serenity wasn’t sure if he was angry or not, so she tried to casually change the topic. “Time flies. Eva is already two years old. After our child is born, they can play together.”
Gabriel’s tensed jaw eased up a little. “Our child will still be too young and might end up more like Eva’s toy.”
When they got home, Selena asked Mrs. Watson to carry Eva Grant back to her room. Then, she followed John to his room. Once John entered, he took out his suitcase and started packing.
After they got married, the two of them had been sleeping in separate rooms – Selena slept in the bedroom while he slept in the guest room.
Sometimes, he did not come back, staying in another villa under his name. It was the villa he brought Serenity to when she was drunk.
The servants at that home were hired with a high salary, so they had been trained to be very tight-lipped.
“If anyone should leave, it should be Eva and I,” said Selena calmly with John’s back facing her. “We’ll leave tomorrow.”
John continued to take out his clothes from the closet, folding them neatly before putting them into the box. “I’ll leave the house to you. 1 have other residences under my name.”
Selena was silent for a moment before she said, “Serene and Gabriel are already married. They even have a child. What do you plan to do?”
His hands froze. Yes, she was married to someone else and they now had a child. So what should he do?
He had his back to her, so Selena couldn’t see his expression. But she could see how his body froze and tensed up.
After he was done packing, he remembered a few documents in the study he had to take with him. So he turned around and saw Selena still standing at the door of the room. He walked past her without another word and left the room.
He headed to the study for the documents as well as to copy a few important items from his computer into the USB drive. As he got up, his gaze stopped on the photo frame beside the computer.
The girl in the photo was smiling like a flower with her lively and radiant black eyes. He picked up the photo frame and gently stroked it, his gaze nostalgic and gentle.
He took the document and the photo frame out of the study and went to the guest room. Selena was still there but John continued to walk past her and entered the room, putting the document and photo frame into his suitcase.
Now that he had everything he needed, John closed the lid of his suitcase, picked it up, and walked past Selena once more. When he was about to reach the stairs, Selena suddenly said, “John.”
He stopped in his tracks and waited for her to continue.
“You and her… It’s impossible. Why don’t we… Let’s continue living like this-”
“Selena.” Before she could finish her last sentence, he interrupted her. She couldn’t see his expression, but she could feel a thick, unresolvable sadness around him.
John’s eyes were empty and sad as he looked ahead. It was as if he could see the person’s face through the air. In a hoarse voice, he said, “I will never love anyone else besides her in this life.”
Selena had always known John only had Serenity in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have planned so extensively to get her back.
It was only after hearing his words that she knew that he loved her more than his own life.
“I’m sorry.” he chuckled softly, his eyes filling up with desolation. “Even if I get married and have children in the future, it won’t be with you.”
Selena pursed her lips and didn’t say anything..
