Love After a Steamy Affair-Chapter 1 - The Rivers Family's Second Daughter

1 The Rivers Family’s Second Daughter
The airport was as busy as usual, and a sweet female voice could be heard reporting the flight numbers over the broadcast.

Upon the arrival of a flight from California to Andalas, the passengers walked out of the arrival hall like a swarm of bees.

A slim girl walked out of the corridor while dragging her luggage out. She was wearing a T-shirt, which had words printed on it, as well as a pair of dark blue pencil jeans. Her naturally wavy hair was also tied up into a ponytail.

She had pale skin and was very tall and slender. Moreover, she had a pure and peaceful demeanor that made her stand out among the crowd.

Once Mr. Geoffrey, who came to welcome her at the airport, saw her, he immediately went forward to take the luggage from her. “Miss Serenity,” greeted Mr. Geoffrey.

Serenity Rivers scanned her surroundings and realized that Mr. Geoffrey was the only one who had come to fetch her at the airport. She could not help but curl her lips up in ridicule.

Perhaps she had stayed overseas for too long and, thus, nobody could remember the existence of Serenity Rivers anymore.

But it was fine. There would be ample time for them to interact with one another.

After she exited the airport, Serenity closed her eyes to rest in the car. Mr. Geoffrey placed her luggage in the boot of the car before opening the door to sit in the driver’s seat. He turned around, only to see her with her eyes closed, and decided to remain silent.

Miss Selena had addressed him before to bring Miss Serenity to the Grant family for a meal, but he thought that it would be better to ask Miss Serenity for her opinion.

Yet, upon seeing that she had closed her eyes, he thought that she had fallen asleep and did not want to disturb her. He started the car and drove off.

After sitting on a flight for over ten hours, Serenity fell asleep once she entered the car. However, it had only been a while since she fell asleep and she was awoken by an ear-piercing sound.

She saw that the car was not moving and looked out the window. They were at the center of a busy city, and the bustling streets looked very crowded and packed. Under the sunlight, the skyscraper looked especially majestic.

She rubbed her tired eyes. “Geoffrey, what happened?”

Mr. Geoffrey took a glance at her through the rearview mirror. “Miss Serenity, traffic jams always happen at this road junction. You can continue sleeping, and when we have arrived, I can wake you up.”

Serenity was a light sleeper. Once she was awoken, she could not fall asleep again.

The car in front of them drove a small distance before stopping. Mr. Geoffrey also followed suit and, just like this, they slowly progressed on the road.

After an hour, Serenity had lost patience. As the car ahead of them moved forward, she told Mr. Geoffrey to intercept the car from the side.

Mr. Geoffrey was an experienced chauffeur of the Rivers family and had good driving skills. Using the way Serenity taught him, he intercepted many cars.

A Maybach seemed to be rushing as well and furiously intercepted cars. At the spur of the moment, Mr. Geoffrey accidentally chased after the car. Luckily, however, the car speed was not very fast and both parties did not get hurt. It was just that they ran into the other party’s car.

Mr. Geoffrey was so scared that his face turned pale. He stuttered, “Second… Miss Serenity, what are we going to do?”

One look at the car and one could see that the car owner must be very wealthy, especially given that unique car number of his. The owner must not be a person who could be easily trifled with.

Serenity furrowed her eyebrows slightly and pursed her lips before alighting from her car. She went forward and knocked on the window of the other party’s car.

The driver was unbuckling his seatbelt while preparing to get down from the car to check the car’s condition. Upon hearing someone knocking on the window, he raised his head to look at Serenity through the window.

He rolled his car window down, but before he could say something, Serenity said, “Do you have a pen and a paper?”

Caleb was still feeling very confused and gave her a dazed look. It was not until Serenity repeated her question that he came back to his senses and passed her a pen and a paper.

He saw through the rearview mirror that the girl before him had alighted from the car behind his own and thought that she must be the perpetrator.

Serenity skillfully wrote down a list of numbers before writing down that person’s number.

Perhaps it was etched too deeply into her memory as, even after three years, she could still remember that person’s number.
