Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gabriel had a business banquet to attend after work. Since not many people knew about their marriage and Gabriel had rarely brought a female companion to a banquet before, Serenity did not accompany him.

Suddenly, Serenity received a call from Selena. The latter wanted to meet up and they agreed on a high-end restaurant.

Serenity stopped in her tracks when she reached the place. She was about to find out the answer she had been itching to know all these years but why was she feeling nervous now?

She took out her phone and dialed Selena’s number. “Serene?”

“Sis, something came up at the last minute and I can’t come. Let’s meet another day.” Serenity was already walking towards the temporary parking lot where her new car, a white Maserati, was parked.

Selena watched her sister leave through the French window. “Serenity, if you leave, you will regret it.”

When she wanted answers, no one was willing to tell her. Now that she had found some semblance of peace in her life, the answers to her questions no longer mattered. In fact she was afraid knowing would only be a disruption – ignorance was bliss.

Yet, Selena’s words stopped Serenity in her tracks, her breathing growing rapid as anxiety started to envelop her.

The answer was finally right in front of her. Should she give it up?

She looked up at the gray sky, took a deep breath, and turned to enter the restaurant.

As she sat herself opposite Selena, she meekly said, “Sis.” Selena called the waiter over and the sisters ordered their meals.

While waiting for the food, Serenity looked out of the glass window. Her impetuous mood was taking to the dark sky, weighing down on her heart.

Selena looked calm. Occasionally, she would take a sip of warm water or glance at Serenity.

Their meals finally arrived and the two ate quietly.

Halfway through the meal, Selena wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. “You’ve misunderstood him.”

Serenity’s hand froze while holding the fork before she put it down. After wiping her lips with a napkin, she smiled coldly. “Is that so?”

The sarcastic words carried a strong chill as they left Serenity’s cold lips. Still, there was no sign of anger.

“I’m not married to him and Eva is not his child,” said Selena with the same gentle smile.

Serenity was shocked. If she had not been watching how calm Selena had been, she would have thought her sister was spouting nonsense.

Selena saw the shock in her eyes. “The marriage certificate is fake. He has always been faithful to you.”

“But Eva. ” She almost did not dare to think about it as she stared blankly at

the gentle woman opposite her.

“It’s not what you think,” said Selena slowly, already having guessed what Serenity was speculating.

Serenity remained silent, waiting for Selena to continue.

Selena’s lips curved into a smile again as a light haze glazed over her eyes. “Eva has nothing to do with me. She’s someone else’s child.”

Everything started from the moment John reached out to her.

Selena remembered it just like yesterday. John was wearing a stitched sweater with a stand-up collar and a pair of flaxen casual pants. He had just graduated and entered society, so his eyes were not as stable and deep as they were now.

When he saw her, he said, “Selena, Serene is not doing well in the Rivers residence. I want her to be happy for the rest of her life. So, please help me..”
