Love After a Steamy Affair

Gabriel looked around her room and said, “I was wondering if you need some help since you were taking so long.”

Serenity took out the remaining clothes from the wardrobe and Gabriel put them into the suitcase for her. “What are you planning to do with so many things? Why go through so much trouble?”

She had just bought these fall clothes last year so she still liked the style. “The weather is getting colder.”

Gabriel closed her suitcase and said, “It seems that 1, Gabriel Jones, can’t afford to buy my wife clothes.”

Serenity was speechless, not expecting him to take it that way.

Gabriel carried her luggage down. When they reached the bottom of the staircase, Serenity’s phone rang. It was John.

She looked at Gabriel guiltily, who happened to look at her as well. “It’s been ringing for so long. Why aren’t you picking up?”

She pressed the reject button and put her phone back into her pocket. “It’s a scam call,” said she as naturally as possible.

After bidding farewell to Benjamin Rivers and Helena Turner, the two left the Rivers residence. As they were driving out of the Rivers residence, they saw John’s car parked by the roadside. He was leaning against the car and holding his phone to his ear. Just then, Serenity’s phone rang again.

For a moment, she did not know if she should pick up the call. Just as she was hesitating, Gabriel stopped the car by the roadside and looked at her indifferently. “Answer the phone.”

She hesitantly swiped the screen and answered the call. “Hey.”

The car lights in front of John flashed and he narrowed his eyes to see the two people in the car. The excitement he felt before was immediately doused with cold water.

The other end of Serenity’s line was silent. All she could hear was the man’s heavy breathing. Serenity saw John looking in their direction through the windshield. But they were too far away, so she could not see the expression on his face clearly. She could only hear his breathing getting heavier.

Suddenly, John’s cold voice came from the phone. “Get out of the car!”

Without waiting for her to speak, the call was hung up. She put her phone back into her bag and looked back at John who was staring at her, then at Gabriel who was still looking relatively calm. “I’ll go down and explain it to him.”

Gabriel bent over to unbuckle her seatbelt and kissed her moist lips. His thumb gently rubbed the corner of her lips as he calmly said, “I don’t want my wife to be entangled with another man, understand?”

She nodded. No man would like his wife to have anything to do with another man. She knew what to do even without him needing to say so.

She opened the car door and got out. She walked towards John and stopped three steps away from him. “Brother-in-law, what’s the matter?”

John’s dark eyes were filled with gloom as he enunciated his words. “Why were you in his car?”

The cars might be parked far apart, but John could see Gabriel kiss Serenity. The two of them were so intimate.

Serenity pondered for a moment and said, “I registered our marriage.”

John’s face suddenly turned pale and he almost lost his strength to stand. His pupils contracted in an instant and his lips trembled as he said, “You…. What did you say?”
