“Because…” His usual clear voice was so hoarse that it was almost indistinguishable. If one listened carefully, one might have heard the faint sob in the undertones of his voice. “We’ve hurt her.”

In her eyes, everything he did hurt her.

Selena remained standing in the corridor as she watched the man walk down the stairs and disappear out the main door. Then, she heard the sound of a car engine.

Mrs. Watson had been playing with Eva Grant in the bedroom. When she heard their conversation and the sound of someone going down the stairs, she came out of the room and saw John leaving with his suitcase.

Selena was still standing in the corridor so Mrs. Watson looked at her worriedly.

Eventually, with narrowed eyes and a calm voice, Selena said, “Don’t call me Mrs. Grant anymore. I’m no longer his wife.”

In John’s heart, the position of Mrs. Grant would always belong to that person.

Mrs. Watson had always known that the Young Master liked Miss Serenity Rivers. So she did not know why he married Miss Selena of the Rivers residence instead. Moreover, after marriage, the two continued to sleep in separate rooms. She thought it was because he had some ‘difficulties’.

Selena went to Eva who was still playing with her toys on the bed. Then, Eva suddenly said, “Daddy.”

“He’s not your father.” Selena stroked her furry head.

Mrs. Watson thought Selena said that because she was upset, so she said, “Young Madam, although you and Young Master have separated, you can’t say that in front of the child. She is still too young.”

Selena pulled Eva Grant into her arms and smiled lightly but didn’t say anything else.

When Serenity came back from the office washroom, she was shocked to see the phone on her desk. The lit screen showed a string of unfamiliar numbers.

“Hello?” She picked up the phone suspiciously and walked to a quiet place.

“Miss Rivers, let’s meet in private.” Sulia’s voice came from the speaker.

Serenity did not expect Sulia to call and request to meet her alone. Stunned, she somehow managed to say, “Okay.”

Sulia was a little dissatisfied by the delay in Serenity’s response. She frowned and said, “12:10 in the afternoon. i’ll wait for you in the restaurant opposite the company.”

Serenity stared at the computer worriedly. Sulia had suddenly asked her out and even told her not to tell Gabriel. This caught her off guard.

She was no longer had the mood to work so at 11:30 a.m., she took the documents into the president’s office.

The man was busy but when he saw the document in her hand, he opened his palm.

“This is my excuse to see you,” said she with a smile.

Gabriel’s eyebrows raised in surprise. She rarely entered his office during working hours unless it had something to do with work. “What’s the matter?”

“I’m going to the staff cafeteria with my colleagues for lunch,” said she, already prepared with an excuse.

Ever since the two got married, Serenity would always eat with Gabriel in the president’s office private dining room. Sometimes, when he was too busy, Caleb would pack the food and bring it to the office.

Seeing him frown, she continued to say, “I eat with you every day so my relationship with my colleagues has faded. You don’t want me to be isolated, do you?”

What she said made sense. Coupled with her pair of black eyes that were begging for mercy, he could not refuse and reluctantly agreed.

At noon, she left the office with her colleagues. The elevator stopped at the staff cafeteria on the 12th floor. When her colleagues got out of the elevator, she remained.

By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Sulia was already there. Serenity sat down opposite her. “Sorry, i just got off work..”
