John saw her reaction and rolled down the window again. The smell of tobacco inside gradually dissipated.

Serenity looked out of the car window, knowing how tense John’s face was. The two of them were silent throughout the journey, making the atmosphere in the car quite suffocating.

Alfred couldn’t help but look at the two people behind him through the rearview mirror. He was anxious and worried.

John had booked a private room at a restaurant in advance. The waiter led them in and handed them the menu.

Serenity took the menu and suspiciously asked, “Will it be just the two of us?”

John took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger in the corner. He pulled out a chair and sat down. “Is that not OK?”

When her eyes met his deep eyes, Serenity fell speechless again and she quickly buried her head into the menu while flipping through quickly.

Some time passed but she hadn’t ordered any dishes so John casually ordered for the table.

When Serenity heard the names of the dishes, she felt a wave of sadness in her heart. They were all her favorite dishes. How unexpected that he would still remember them after all these years.

However, what was the point? The two split up when she was twenty and now there was no turning back.

He would always be her brother-in-law.

So, why did he bring her to dinner alone today?

The waiter served them a pot of tea and took the menu out of the private room. The private room turned so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Serenity picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten her throat. “Brother-in-law, why did you look for me today?”

John’s hand was unbuttoning his cufflinks and it paused while a light crease appeared between his brows. This was the first time she had used it so easily, even when there was no one else around.

Her words instantly established a boundary neither could cross.

He eventually continued to slowly unbutton the other cufflink, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion. “You didn’t go home last night.”

If he just wanted to ask her where she went last night, he didn’t need to bring her to this restaurant’s private room. He could have simply asked in the car.

However, they hadn’t eaten together for a long time. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten what it felt like.

Although she did not understand why he had the time to care if she had gone home or not last night, she still answered truthfully, “You’re right.”

As she finished speaking, John’s eyes darkened further as he asked, “Where did you go?”

She found his question quite ridiculous as she chuckled softly. “It doesn’t matter where 1 go, because it has nothing to do with you.”

A black mist shrouded John’s eyes and his face turned terrifyingly darker. “Where did Gabriel bring you to last night?”

His sudden anger was baffling to her. As if in response to his emotions, she grew angry too. She grabbed her bag and said, “If that’s what you’re asking me, I’m sorry, but I don’t want to answer.”

She stood up abruptly and the chair screeched against the floor, making an ear-piercing sound in the silent room.

Serenity had just taken a step when John grabbed her wrist. She turned around and glared at him. “Let go.”

John’s grip was just right. He didn’t hurt her but it was not loose enough for her to break free. The more she tried to escape, the more he wanted an answer. His tone was scarily stern when he asked, “Where did you go with him last night? What did you do?”

Serenity knew his intentions, but still, it was not appropriate for a married man to be concerned about her affairs with another man..
