Gabriel reached out and pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her tightly, leaving almost no gap between their bodies. He buried his head in her neck and said in a hoarse voice, “You wore the ring yourself. 1 didn’t force you, alright.”
She could feel his warm breath on her neck. The heat seeped through her skin and into her blood. She calmly said, “This is my own choice.”
Old injuries had not healed yet new injuries had been added. As Mrs. Winstead continued to nag her, Serenity also realized that things had not been going well for her recently.
“Mrs. Winstead, what kind of daughter-in-law does Madam Jones like?” asked she.
“Someone dignified and virtuous, of course,” said Mrs. Winstead as she placed a toothpick on a piece of seasonal fruit that she had cut before passing it to Serenity.
The two chatted while watching television, mainly with Serenity asking about Sulia Silver and Keith Jones so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself or do anything that would make them unhappy.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Gabriel called. His deep and clear voice came from the phone. “What are you doing?”
Serenity was hugging a pillow as she sat on the sofa, watching a television show that was very popular at the time. She took the remote control and turned down the volume of the television. “Waiting for you to get off work.”
Gabriel’s lips curled into a smile. He turned his office chair around and walked to the water dispenser with a glass of water in his hand. He took a glass and drank two mouthfuls. “I’ll get Caleb to pick you up.”
Despite his low chuckle, it still reached her ears. She looked down at the ring on her finger and smiled. “Aren’t you coming back for dinner?”
Gabriel walked back to his desk with the glass of water in his hand. He was in a particularly good mood when he heard her soft and gentle voice. There was a hint of joy in his voice as he said, “Let’s eat outside.”
She glanced in the direction of the kitchen and could see Mrs. Winstead’s busy figure. “But Mrs. Winstead has already started cooking.”
“Your husband doesn’t lack money.” Gabriel found it funny.
She bit her lip hesitantly. “I even asked her to make your favorite sweet yam and spicy beef.”
Since she was trying to persuade him so sweetly, Gabriel eventually compromised helplessly. He raised his wrist to look at the time. “There’s still more than twenty minutes before work ends. Wait for me.”
“Alright.” After the call ended, she put on her slippers and went into the kitchen. Mrs. Winstead had already prepared a few dishes and would be able to make it before he returned.
When Mrs. Winstead noticed Serenity entered the kitchen, she said. “Young Madam, please wait outside. There’s a smell of oil and smoke here.”
Serenity returned to the living room and looked up at the clock on the wall from time to time. At six o’clock, she heard a sound coming from the entrance. She smiled brightly and went up to the main door. She took the suit jacket from his hands. “Welcome home.”
Gabriel was in a good mood as the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He raised his hand to touch her cheek.
He had just returned from the outdoors so his hands were a little cold. The moment he touched her, she flinched slightly and glared at him. “Your hands are cold and I’m an injured person.”
“How can there be a patient as lively as you?” He chuckled.
When Mrs. Winstead found out that Gabriel had returned, she proceeded to serve the dishes on the dining table. After dinner, Serenity returned to her room and put on a long coat of moderate thickness. Gabriel also changed his clothes and the couple finally headed out for the evening.
The car stopped at Times Square. Serenity looked at him blankly. “Aren’t we going to buy gifts?”
Gabriel’s well-defined fingers tapped the steering wheel lightly while the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “I’ve already prepared the things..”
