Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After coming out of the bridal shop, Serenity glanced at Calvin Gilbert, who was on the phone. She rubbed her flat stomach – she rushed over after work so she had yet to eat.
“I’ve already finished trying on the wedding dress. I’ll bring her out for dinner… Why are you so long-winded when it comes to her? You’re a person who does great things. Can you not act like an old woman in her seventies or eighties?” Calvin was growing impatient. “I won’t let her starve. 1’11 bring her to eat now.” The call was made by John, so Calvin Gilbert walked a little further away so that Serenity would not hear the contents of the call.
Calvin put his phone back into his pocket and walked up to Serenity. “Let’s go eat.”

Calvin snorted and threw the car keys to him. Then, he led Serenity into the private room.
Halfway through the meal, Serenity went to the washroom. Just as she entered the washroom, someone followed her in. Then, she heard the sound of the washroom door closing.
She turned around and was stunned when she saw who it was. She had no choice but to kindly say, “President Jones, this is the women’s washroom.” Gabriel’s lips curled into a smile and he did not say anything. He was wearing a black shirt, which accentuated his cold and charming facial features, bringing with him a mysterious sexiness in the dark night.
With a cruel smile, he said, “It’s not a bad idea to get involved with the Gilbert family. Not only can you bring the Rivers family back to life, but you can also marry into a wealthy family and become a young mistress.”
His sarcastic words were like a silver needle that stabbed into her heart.
Her face suddenly turned a little pale. The hands by her side gradually tightened and then slowly relaxed, as an impeccable smile appeared on her face.
“It’s indeed killing two birds with one stone.”
Since Gabriel was here, she could not go to the toilet. She turned on the tap, washed her hands, and walked past him to leave.
Just then, Gabriel grabbed her wrist and pulled her gently into his embrace. He held her waist tightly despite her struggles.
He lowered his head and looked into her panicked eyes. Then, he raised his hand to stroke her soft hair as if he was comforting a cat that was about to explode.
“When did you have any dealings with Calvin Gilbert? Back from Willow Town?”

She looked up at his well-defined jaw and when she saw him lower his head, she quietly shifted her gaze away to the buttons on his shirt.
“We knew each other before I met you.”
There was a casual smile on his thin lips and their breaths intertwined. “Before me?”
She pursed her red lips and did not say anything. She felt that this man was really as deep as the sea. Ever since she went to Jonan City, he had not given her a good look.
Now, he was teasing her. What did he mean by that?
While she was distracted, her earlobe suddenly went numb, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
He sucked on her delicate and round earlobe and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “If 1 had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you return to Andalas earlier.” Serenity tilted her head and avoided his burning lips. She struggled to break free from his embrace. “Let go of me!”
Gabriel pressed her against the wall, his deep eyes reflected her beautiful face as his cold lips unhurriedly said, “You went to try on the wedding dress today.. Are you happy?”
