Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity woke up at dawn and realized that there was no one beside her. She reached out to touch the other side of the bed. There was no warmth at all.
She took her phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time. It was only seven o’clock which was when Gabriel’s biological clock was set to.
Yet his half of the bed was cold. Did he leave after she fell asleep last night?
Did he not want to sleep in the same bed as her?
She went downstairs in her pajamas. Mrs. Winstead was making breakfast in the kitchen. When the older lady heard footsteps coming from the stairs, she came out of the kitchen and greeted Serenity. “Young Madam, you’re up so early today.”
“Where is he?” asked she when she did not see Gabriel in the living room.
“Is he not up yet?” Mrs. Winstead looked confused.
Serenity turned around and went up to the second floor to look for him in the study. He was not there, so she came out of the study. Coincidentally Gabriel came out of the guest room and heard the door close. The two of them looked at each other.
There were no clothes for him in the guest room, so he was still wearing a bathrobe. The slightly open collar revealed his sexy collarbone as he stood there in the same pair of cotton slippers as hers.
Serenity walked closer to him. She knew what his answer would be, but she still couldn’t help but ask, “You slept in the guest room last night?”
Gabriel hummed a gentle response and entered the master bedroom next door. She stood at the door of the bedroom, watching him unbutton his bathrobe and putting on his shirt and trousers.
She stood silently at the door and watched him tie his tie and put on his watch. His movements were unhurried and elegant.
After buttoning his cufflinks, Gabriel turned around and looked at her.
“No need. I’ll ask Mrs. Winstead to help me apply the medicine,” said she, rejecting him instinctively before he could say anything.
Gabriel looked at her with a deep gaze, his indifferent eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
Was she avoiding him because she couldn’t forget that man?
She didn’t want him to see her body?
Was she trying to keep herself clean now?
Why didn’t she feel this kind of shame when she climbed into his bed?
His eyes turned cold as he casually took out a piece of outerwear from the closet and walked past her without another look.
Serenity did not follow him down. Instead, she returned to her room and picked up the clothes on the sofa. She threw the coat he wore yesterday into the laundry basket and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Mrs. Winstead placed breakfast on the dining table. When she saw that Serenity had not come down, she glanced in the direction of the second floor.
Gabriel noticed her actions and calmly said, “She’s not working so let her sleep a little longer. If she’s still not down by nine o’clock, go wake her up.” He paused for a moment and continued to say, “Breakfast is very important. You must make sure she eats it.”
Mrs. Winstead nodded and brought Serenity’s breakfast back to the kitchen, placing it in the insulated container.
After breakfast, Gabriel was ready to go out. Mrs. Winstead handed him his coat. He took it and put it on. As he tidied his clothes, he said, “Remember to apply medicine for her.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Mrs. Winstead walked him out.
Hearing the sound of a car in the courtyard, Serenity walked to the window in her slippers and saw Gabriel’s car leaving the villa.
She stood in front of the window for a long time until her legs were numb. She then turned around and walked to the wardrobe. She took her clothes and put them on before leaving the room and going downstairs.
Mrs. Winstead was mopping the floor when she saw Serenity come down. “Young Madam.” Then, she went into the kitchen to wash her hands and brought out breakfast to place on the dining table.
After breakfast, Serenity was about to leave for the bedroom. Mrs. Winstead said, “Young Madam, you haven’t applied your medicine yet..”
