NovelEnglishChapter 239 - 239: Let’s Talk Inside
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Serenity left the hotel, she called Gabriel again, but no one picked up.
After calling four or five times, she put her phone back into her handbag and hailed a taxi by the roadside. She gave the address of South Bay.
Upon arrival, she paid the fare and walked to the villa’s door. She took a deep breath and raised her hand to press the doorbell.
Mrs. Winstead answered the door. “Ms. Serenity?”
The lady could recognize her not because she had a good memory, but because other than Miss Fang, the young master had never brought a woman back.

Serenity had a faint smile on her face when she said, “Mrs. Winstead, I’m here to see President Jones.”
Mrs. Winstead could tell that the young master treated her differently, so she was very polite to Serenity. “He should still be in the company at this time.” “Then can I please wait for him inside?” She had to see him today no matter what.
“I can’t let you in without the young master’s permission.” Mrs. Winstead was hesitant.
Serenity decided not to make things difficult for Mrs. Winstead and decided to wait for Gabriel by the flowerbed.
She waited until night fell and the weather had grown chilly.
Although she was wearing a coat, she was wearing a knee-length dress underneath so her legs were exposed to the cold.
Gabriel was supposed to attend a dinner party that night, but when Mrs. Winstead called him, Gabriel immediately had Caleb cancel his attendance at the party, grabbed his coat from the rack, and prepared to return to his home in South Bay. But then, he changed his mind just as quickly and returned to work at his desk.
The entire time, he would look at his watch every once in a while. Those who didn’t know better would think that he had an appointment later.
Though he tried to busy himself with documents and signatures, he was a little absent-minded and almost signed it wrongly. Fortunately, he reacted in time and made the necessary changes.
Caleb took the document that he had signed and noticed the mistake.
Gabriel kept himself busy all the way until ten at night. He glanced at his watch once more, took his coat from the rack, and finally left the office.
Serenity was still sitting by the flowerbed and was about to fall asleep when she heard the honking of the car, waking up immediately.
She rubbed her cold calves and wanted to stand up, but her legs had gone numb from sitting for too long.

It had been about six hours since Mrs. Winstead called him so he was expecting her to have lost patience and left. He didn’t expect her to still be here.
After saving her in Jonan City, he had been avoiding her with indifference because at that moment when he saved her from danger, he realized how much he cared about her.
When he heard that she and Calvin Gilbert were getting engaged, he was angry. However, he eventually convinced himself that it was a good thing because then, he could cut off thoughts that he should not have.
Unfortunately for him, the closer the date of the engagement approached, the more anxious he became.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why he was depressed these days.
It was all because of her.
Serenity’s legs finally regained some feeling and she slowly stood up. She looked at him calmly and said, “I need to talk to you.”
Gabriel lit up a cigarette, enveloping his figure in a layer of white fog that only accentuated his sharp features.
His dark eyes narrowed slightly. “Let’s speak inside..”
