Chapter 389: I’ll Resign Your Job

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Across the road, John sat in the car and silently looked at the woman standing behind the wheelchair. She was wearing a beige windbreaker while her long black hair was let loose, fluttering in the wind. Occasionally, she would lower her head and whisper to the man in the wheelchair with a smile on her fair face.

“President Grant, do you want to go down?” Alfred glanced at him through the rearview mirror.

John’s mood was like a late autumn night, bleak and desolate. “No need. Let’s go back to the company.”

After the car started moving, Serenity happened to look over. The car just now looked very familiar, but she didn’t get a good enough look at it to determine if it was the car she thought it was.

Caleb came out of the parking lot and got down to help Gabriel into the car while Serenity went around to the other side.

“I’ll get Francesca to start the resignation paperwork for you,” said Gabriel calmly.

It was too sudden. He did not even consult her. Serenity was a little against his arbitrary approach. “How could you quit my job without my consent?!”

Gabriel was not surprised by her anger at all. “You need to rest during this period of time. It’s almost three months.”

“It’s not even three months yet.” Her eyes widened in anger.

In the past, when she was with John, he would always listen to her and respect her thoughts. On the other hand, Gabriel usually acted first and made the rest follow after him.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept such an arrangement, but that he didn’t even discuss it with her properly first.

She was his wife, not his subordinate. She did not have to follow his every word. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

Gabriel’s expression darkened slightly. “It’ll be three months in a few days. What difference does now and later make?”

Serenity felt her chest heaving up and down violently so she forced herself to take a deep breath and suppress the anger in her chest. She was silent for a long while before her voice returned to normal.

“Do others’ thoughts and opinions not matter to you?

Caleb had just placed his wheelchair in the trunk and sat in the car so Serenity’s words were the first thing he heard as he felt the atmosphere turn a little stiff. He didn’t know if he should start the car.

Gabriel’s chin was tensed up arrogantly.

Serenity looked out of the car window as their unpleasant conversation ended in silence. She said, “Caleb, drive.”

Caleb started the engine and headed toward the main road. The couple did not say a word the entire way.

Knowing that they would be discharged today, Mrs. Winstead had already prepared lunch and was waiting for them. Serenity asked Caleb to stay for lunch, but he refused and left without even drinking water.

Mrs. Winstead served the dishes on the table to celebrate their discharge from the hospital. “Young Master, I stewed this chicken soup for three hours. It should taste delicious.”

After she finished speaking, she scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Gabriel. She also scooped a bowl of fish head tofu soup for Serenity. “Young Madam, the fish today is very fresh. Please eat more.”

Gabriel did not say anything, but Serenity thanked Mrs. Winstead. They just had an unpleasant argument, so Serenity did not have much of an appetite at the moment. She only ate a few mouthfuls of rice and drank half a bowl of fish head tofu soup before leaning back in her chair.

The couple ate in silence the entire time and Mrs. Winstead would be a fool not to have noticed the awkwardly tense atmosphere between the two of them. She looked between Gabriel and Serenity but did not know what to say. So she retreated into the kitchen to do something else.

After dinner, Serenity and Mrs. Winstead helped Gabriel up to the second floor. Then, she went downstairs to take the wheelchair up.

Gabriel wheeled himself into the study room while Serenity returned to the bedroom for an afternoon nap..
