The atmosphere in the bar was high and exciting as the gorgeous lights flickered non-stop and the music played on deafeningly.
In a booth, William and the rest were already slightly tipsy. Only Gabriel was still sober. His shrewd and deep eyes seemed a little lost under the flickering lights.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the past few days, even Caleb had noticed Gabriel’s restlessness which only appeared when the latter was greeted by a dark room every time he returned to the hotel.
After four or five days, the restlessness turned into disappointment as if a piece of his heart had been hollowed out.
He finished the wine in his glass in frustration and got up to take his coat. ’’You guys have fun. 1’11 be leaving first.”
He turned a deaf ear to the shouts of William and the others behind him and walked out of the bar. Caleb quickly followed him out. When Gabriel returned to the hotel, he swiped open the door of the suite and saw that the lights in the living room were still on.
Upon entering, he automatically started looking for her but the huge living room was empty, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
He entered rhe room, his heart thumping a few times. Then he walked to the sofa, but there was she was nowhere in sight. His beating heart fell dead silent as it calmed down in an instant. The sense of loss in his heart was so obvious.
“You’re back?”
He whipped around and saw Serenity mixing bean-paste powder at the entrance of the kitchen. It was still steaming hot.
The way he looked at her made Serenity’s hair stand on end. She licked her lips and said, “1… hadn’t eaten my fill for dinner, so 1 came up to make some food.” Gabriel continued staring at her and his heart started to go wild again the moment he heard her voice.
His silence put her at a loss. “Your dinner is in the fridge.”

Serenity carried the noodles into the kitchen and took out the food from the fridge to be placed on the dining table. He had been very cold to her these few days so she decided not to provoke him.
She was not sure about Gabriel’s mood swings either. Since he did not like her, there was no need for her to stick to him and make him dislike her any further.
However, if she were to hide in the kitchen and eat, it would seem as if she was afraid of him. Moreover, she had not done anything wrong.
Hence, she brought the noodles into the living room, found an entertainment program, and watched TV while eating.
Gabriel took off his watch, unbuttoned his cufflinks, rolled up a small portion of his sleeves, pulled out the dining chair, and sat down to eat. But why was Serenity in the living room?
Her hair always slid down from the right side, preventing her from eating in peace as she kept having to brush it behind her ear, revealing her fair and round earlobes as well as a small part of her snow-white neck.
She would giggle when she found something funny. Since she was sitting perpendicular to him, he could only see the gentle curve of her side profile and the corners of her mouth.
Serenity had served braised fish alongside the noodles for dinner. The fish was one of the most famous types from Jonan City. But for some reason, the food didn’t taste as good, and the sight of her right now made him feel slightly agitated..
