Love After a Steamy Affair

Serenity looked at Gabriel next to her. There was nothing unusual about his warm and indifferent face but he could sense her uneasiness so he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her to the dining table.

John didn’t seem to feel the cold light from the hidden arrow. He simply walked over and placed the pomegranate in his hand on the fruit platter next to the two that Serenity had taken.

Selena handed Eva Grant to the servants and joined the rest at the dining table. The dishes on the table were very sumptuous, but Sdrenity had recently started to have morning sickness so whenever she smelled these dishes, her tummy would churn.

“Are you feeling unwell?” asked Gabriel softly when he saw her pale face. “Do you need to vomit?”

Although his voice was low, the dining table was very quiet so everyone heard his words clearly.

John recalled what Selena had said on the day of Chris Grant’s funeral and his face turned pale while his hands trembled as they gripped on the cutlery.

“Pregnant people can’t smell this. 1 forgot about it.” Helena frowned.

Since Serenity was sent to Willow Town for foster care at a young age, after she was brought back to the Rivers family, Helena Turner treated her even better, wanting to make up for the lost time.

The few dishes served tonight were Serenity’s favorites and Serenity knew that.

How could she bear to waste her mother’s good intentions? She suppressed the discomfort in her stomach. “It’s okay. I can still eat a little.”

She was feeling very uncomfortable, yet she still forced herself to eat. Although Gabriel did not know why, he could roughly guess what was going on when he saw the dishes in front of him.

He held her hand under the table and slid his fingers through the gaps of her fingers. He slowly closed them to interlock his hands with hers.

She turned her head and smiled at him. She even deliberately scratched his palm to show that she was fine.

No one saw their small actions, but John noticed the smile Serenity gave Gabriel.

When he came back earlier, he deliberately picked a pomegranate to see Gabriel’s reaction, but the latter remained indifferent.

He wasn’t sure if Gabriel had hidden it or if he didn’t care.

But John thought that if Gabriel didn’t care, then Serene could still be his.

Yet, if Gabriel truly did not care, why would he marry her?

After the meal, the servants removed the food and brought the cake to the table. John put a candle on the cake and lit it.

Eva was still young, so she didn’t have to make a wish. With Selena’s help, Eva blew out the candle.

Before cutting the cake, Selena took a few photos and sent them to Old Master Samson, who was far away in Oakland.

Eva Grant was very happy, most likely due to the atmosphere of being surrounded by family. She waved her chubby little hands and directly grabbed the cake and fed it to her mouth. In an instant, her face became covered in cream, making everyone laugh.

Serenity’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the adorable Eva Grant. “Do you like boys or girls?” asked she to Gabriel in a slightly cutesy voice.

“I like both,” said Gabriel gently as he looked at her belly subconsciously..
