Someone sat opposite her. Serenity looked up and saw Wendy Jones in a long brown trench coat. Wendy smiled. “Why are you sitting here alone? Is there something on your mind?”

“My mother-in-law doesn’t like me,” said Serenity, propping her head up with her hand, looking miserable.

“You’re married?” Wendy was surprised.

“That’s right.” She smiled, her eyes sparkling. “Just a week ago.”

Wendy asked the waiter for a glass of warm water and it was quickly served to her. She held the glass and looked at Serenity. “Are you planning to give up?”

Serenity was expecting Wendy to ask who her husband was. “Impossible. We already have a child.”

“You’re pregnant?” Wendy glanced at Serenity’s stomach.

“Ten weeks.” Although there was a gap in age between her and Wendy Jones, Serenity felt very comfortable with the lady. She felt like a friend of the same age who made her feel calm and comfortable whenever they were together.

“Congratulations,” said Wendy with a smile.

“Congratulations are too early.” Serenity’s tone revealed a sense of disappointment, but it was only for a moment. It was so fleeting that no one could catch it.

Wendy picked up a glass of water as if to raise a toast. “Not only are you married, but you also have a child. Congratulations on the double happiness.”

She picked up the glass of water and clinked it with Serenity but the latter narrowed her black eyes. “Even so, my in-laws don’t acknowledge me as their daughter-in-law. They even wanted to throw money at me to leave my husband.”

“You don’t look like a person who would simply accept that money,” said Wendy as she took a sip of the warm water.

Serenity was very happy to be praised by someone she had only met a few times. She held her chin and casually said, “As long as I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, why do I need so much money?”

Despite how simply she spoke, there was a mischievous smile on Serenity’s face, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who still looked innocent.

“There aren’t many women who think like you,” said Wendy with a scoff as she nodded in agreement.

“I think so too,” said Serenity half-jokingly.

The smile on Wendy’s lips widened. Serenity was quite interesting. No wonder Gabriel married her.

A man and a woman were sitting at the table next door, seemingly on a blind date. After both parties explained their conditions, the woman asked the man, “Do you have violent tendencies?”

“I’ve already said that I’m a teacher, so you don’t have to worry about this.”

The man wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked refined. One look and one could tell that he was not the kind of person who would hit a woman.

Wendy noticed Serenity looking at the couple on a blind date sitting next to them. The former decided to watch them for a while as well while sipping on her glass of water.

“Will you help with the housework?” asked the woman.

“I can help you share some of the burden when I have time after work,” said the man sincerely.

“Will you cheat on me?” asked the woman.

The man was stunned for a moment. He probably did not expect her to ask such a question. “I will be loyal to my marriage and also responsible for my family.”

“Will you treat me well?” asked the woman, biting her straw.

“Yes, I will.” The man answered with no hesitation.

“Even the President of Grant Group has divorced his wife. What guarantee do I have?”

Serenity was not paying much attention to their conversation initially. But the last sentence she heard made her ears perk up. In the meantime, the man was still racking his brain to come up with an appropriate answer..
