After Gabriel left, the private room remained silent for two minutes. President Barrymore was the first to react. He turned to Manager Lowe, who was in charge of the Chaundler project at Zephyr Group, and asked, “When did President Jones get married?”

“I don’t know,” said Manager Lowe, who had just learned of President Jones’s marriage as well.

“Then who is his wife?” asked President Barrymore.

Manager Lowe shook his head. He was as clueless as everyone else in the room.

Seeing how confused Manager Lowe looked, President Barrymore knew that the man was not lying. Then, he started to laugh. “President Jones is really good at keeping this a secret. Not only does no one know that he’s married, but no one knows who Mrs. Jones is.”

At midnight, Serenity heard the sound of a car coming from outside. She walked to the window and looked outside. The black Maybach stopped in the courtyard and the engine soon turned off. A man got out of the car, his figure tall and straight.

There was a night light in the living room, looking weak and lonely on this quiet night.

Gabriel entered the living room and took two sips of water from a glass of water before he took off his coat and went upstairs. He stood outside the bedroom and looked down at the floor. Through the gap below, he saw that the lights were still on.

He held his coat between his elbows and suddenly did not have the courage to go in. Alas, he decided to stay in the study for the night.

He had just taken a step away when the bedroom door suddenly opened. Serenity was standing in her pajamas, looking at him. Gently, she said, “You’re back.”

Gabriel nodded lightly. “It’s already very late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I was waiting for you.” She answered matter-of-factly. Her bright black eyes were as calm as water as she looked at him as if she wanted to look into his heart and reach in.

The two seemed to have lost their words as they fell silent.

One person stood outside the door, while the other stood inside the room. The atmosphere felt strange.

Serenity stared at the cotton slippers on her feet. There were cartoon patterns printed on them. She pursed her red lips and broke the silence. “It’s already so late. You must be very tired. I’ll get your bath ready.”

“Alright,” said Gabriel calmly with a dark and reserved gaze.

Serenity turned around and went into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from inside. Gabriel strode into the room and threw his coat on the sofa before leaning back tiredly.

Serenity came out of the bathroom and saw how tired he looked. She went forward and softly said, “The water temperature has been adjusted. You can take a bath now.”

Gabriel opened his eyes to glance at her. He took off his watch and stood up to unbutton his cufflinks as he walked towards the bathroom. When he passed by her, he said in a warm voice, “You sleep first. Don’t wait for me.”

Serenity didn’t say anything. She only calmed down when she heard the sound of the bathroom door closing. She picked up the coat that he had thrown on the sofa and planned to hang it in the cloakroom.

There were wrinkles on his clothes. She spread them out and smoothed them for him. She could faintly smell a fragrance on his clothes. She took a whiff and found that it was perfume.

With the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, she put the coat back on the sofa and lay down on the bed, feeling extremely complicated.

Gabriel came out of the shower and saw that she was sleeping on one side, leaving half of the space on the other side for him. He picked up the cigarette box on the table and took out a cigarette. He remembered that pregnant women couldn’t smell cigarette smoke, so he put the cigarette back into the box and threw it on the table. He walked over and lifted the corner of the blanket before lying down on the bed.

He thought that she had fallen asleep but after less than two minutes, her voice rang out in the quiet bedroom. “You’re a little late tonight..”
