Gabriel returned to the bedroom from the study room and found Serenity still asleep. When they squeezed onto the hospital bed last night, Serenity had been afraid of hurting his injuries so she did not dare to sleep too soundly the entire night. Now, she could finally get her much-needed rest.
As he watched her sleep, he suddenly thought of their conversation earlier.
The woman had said something similar before. At that time, her eyes were red and swollen, probably because she had cried for the whole night. She had shouted at him hysterically, “Does my opinion not matter to you at all?”
He had remained silent as she continued to growl. “You’ve always been like this. You don’t care about other people’s feelings. You’re only cruel to me because I love you!”
He massaged the space between his eyebrows. The doctor said that although the child was fine, she had been frightened and it was best for her to rest for a period of time.
He thought that there were only ten days left to three months. She might as well quit her job and rest at home. It was not like he could not afford to support her. What was the point of working so hard while pregnant?
Perhaps he was wrong. He should have told her in advance so that she could be mentally prepared.
When Serenity woke up, she heard voices in the living room downstairs. At first, she did not pay much attention to it so she went into the bathroom to wash her face before leaving the bedroom. The voices downstairs were still there.
Gabriel was a man of few words, so it was impossible for him to keep chatting with Mrs. Winstead. She listened carefully and realized that the woman was someone else.
Serenity stood in the corridor to look down. Just as the woman was about to leave, she turned to look at the beautiful figure that had disappeared into the hallway.
Gabriel pushed his wheelchair to the water dispenser to get a glass of water. When he returned to the sofa, he accidentally caught a glimpse of her in the corridor. The two of them looked at each other indifferently before looking away.
Serenity finally made her way downstairs and found a bag of fruits and a bouquet of flowers on the coffee table. They were probably brought over by the woman just now.
She didn’t say anything as she sat down on the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV. Not long after, Mrs. Winstead came back with two shopping bags from the supermarket filled with vegetables. As soon as she entered the living room, she looked around before asking, “Where’s the Eldest Madam?”
“She’s left.” Gabriel put down his cup.
“Oh, well it’s rare for her to come here so I went to buy so many groceries. Why didn’t she stay for a meal before leaving?”
“Eldest Madam?” Serenity was surprised.
“My aunt,” said Gabriel calmly.
” Oh,” said Serenity softly as she bit the edge of the glass and looked at the television.
The last time she went back to the main residence with Gabriel, she thought she had met all the necessary family members except for the younger generation. It turned out that Gabriel’s oldest aunt was not present. The aunt must not like Serenity either if she did not attend the gathering at that time or stayed to meet her this time.
“Young Madam, you haven’t met Eldest Madam yet, have you?” asked Mrs. Winstead.
“No, she wasn’t there the last time I went to the main residence.”
Mrs. Winstead took over the conversation. “Eldest Madam hasn’t returned to the main residence for many years. But she came this time because she heard that Young Master and you were injured.”
Serenity looked at Gabriel with a reproachful look in her eyes. “Why didn’t you wake me up just now?”
Such a rare person had come to visit them, but she, the mistress of the house, was sleeping away upstairs. How rude.
“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” He recalled her peaceful sleeping face and the corners of his mouth softened.. She was sleeping soundly, how could he bear to wake her up?
