Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gabriel kissed her earlobe and the two of them snuggled against each other for a while before they parted. Serenity could clearly feel the changes in his body and her pretty face flushed red. “You…”
He kissed the corner of her lips. “You sleep first. I’ll go take a shower.”
As she watched the man enter the bathroom, Serenity’s heart was filled with a different kind of emotion. There were many ways to relieve it. He would rather endure it himself than ask her to do those unbearable actions. This man was really…
She laughed silently.
The night was a little cold, but Gabriel still took a cold shower to suppress the heat in his body. When he came out of the bathroom, Serenity was already asleep. He lay down and hugged her. He had never felt so at ease in all these years.
After Selena coaxed Eva Grant to sleep, she glanced at the sky outside. It was getting late and John had not returned. She was about to call him to ask when she heard some noise coming from the living room downstairs.
She walked out of the bedroom and stood in the corridor. John had just returned.
He staggered as if he had drunk alcohol, looking sad and dispirited.
She quickly went down the stairs. As soon as she got close, she smelled the strong and pungent scent of alcohol. She supported him as he was staggering. She knew that he was in a bad mood, so she did not ask anything and just helped him up to the second floor.
John waved her hand away. Although he had drunk a lot, his mind was still clear. His eyes were red, still looking so sad and desperate.
He softly said, “1 was a step too late… Just one step away…”
Selena didn’t say anything and just stood silently beside him.
Helena Turner had called her that night, so she knew that Serene and Gabriel were married and had a child.
This man had been preparing this plan for three years. He won most of the battle but lost the important part.
In the past three years, she had watched him work hard and endure it to get to where he was today. However, she had never expected such a thing to happen.
John stumbled into the study room. Selena followed closely behind and opened the window of the study room. She then went to the kitchen to cook him some hangover soup.
Standing outside the study, she saw the man sitting behind the desk, staring blankly at the photo frame on the table. His sorrowful expression was miserable on this lonely night.
She knocked on the half-closed door, but the person inside did not answer. She pushed the door open and handed him the hangover soup. “Drink the hangover soup.”
John took the bowl of soup and placed it on the table. His pale lips moved slightly. “I’ll move out of here tomorrow and announce the divorce.”
He mentioned divorce, but Selena wasn’t surprised or angry at all. She said calmly, “If anyone should leave, it would be Eva and me. This house is yours to begin with.”
John looked back at the photo frame. His slightly lowered eyelashes trembled a little when he looked at them carefully.
“Take it as compensation for the past three years.”
“We had an agreement back then, so you don’t owe me anything, and you don’t need to compensate me. It’s just that…” She paused and gently said, “1 have a request.”
“What?” asked he hoarsely.
“Eva’s birthday is in a few days,” said Selena. “Can you spend Eva’s second birthday with her before we part ways?”
Although Eva was not his child, they had been together for so long after all. They more or less had some feelings for each other.
Moreover, he was the one who had taken the initiative to ask Selena for help, so she had wasted three years of her youth on him. He could not refuse this request.
“Alright.” He nodded..
