Serenity finally understood that the two of them tried to settle the score through alcohol instead of violence.
If Calvin was looking like this and the battle hadn’t ended, Julian must be in a pretty similar state.
“Don’t come to such places in the future.” John’s gentle voice stirred her from her thoughts.

John’s lips curled into a reassuring smile. “A girl like you shouldn’t be in a place like this.”
Serenity’s thoughts suddenly became engulfed by her memories again. Back then, he often patted her head and gently said, “You’re a good girl. You have to be obedient. When you’re sick, you have to take your medicine, alright?”
She remembered it most clearly. At that time, she was still in Willow Town. When she was sick and did not take her medicine, he would often persuade her to with all kinds of methods to make her happy.
John and Serenity helped Calvin Gilbert out of Golden Sands Bay and placed him in John’s car. John closed the door and turned to look at her. “Get in the car. I’ll send you back.”
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a forced smile appeared on her pale face. “I drove myself here.”
John didn’t insist any further and simply said, “Drive carefully at night. After you arrive safely…”
Serenity knew the words that would have followed had he not stopped himself in time – ‘Send me a message or call me’.
“You be careful too,” said Serenity softly.
Calvin was drunk and John knew Mr. Gilber’s temper well, so he did not send him back to the Gilbert family. Instead, he brought him to his own villa.
He placed Calvin Gilbert on the bed but the latter was still drunk as he constantly shouted Julian’s name, threatening to fight him with another three hundred rounds.
Every time John covered Calbin with the blanket, the latter would only kick it off again. Tired, John simply left the room. He stood in the corridor outside and took out his phone to look for Serenity’s number. His fingers paused for a moment before he slowly put his phone away and entered the master bedroom next door.

Under the parasol, Serenity and Calvin Gilbert sat facing each other with the coffee they had ordered. Serenity looked at him calmly and said, “Why did you ask me out today?”
Calvin was casually dressed in a dark plaid shirt which made his long and narrow peach blossom eyes sparkle. “Can’t 1 ask you out for coffee?”
“That’s not it. I’m just a little surprised.” It had been so long since she properly spoke to Calvin, but he had never asked her out once. Anyone would find it strange if he suddenly asked her out.
Calvin leaned back and touched his chin with his fingers. There was a look of scrutiny and playfulness in his eyes. “I heard that your dad arranged many blind dates for you?”
Now that everyone in Andalas knew about the current situation of the Rivers family, it was normal for a business marriage to happen. She did not feel embarrassed and calmly said, “Since you already know, why bother asking?”
Calvin clicked his tongue and shook his head with a regretful expression. “1 heard that the person your father has chosen is President Fulton of Magnificence Group. Although that person has nothing bad on him, he’s divorced and has a child. Are you really planning to marry him and be a stepmother?”
Her pale face showed no signs of emotion as Serenity stirred the coffee with a small spoon and deliberately said, “There’s nothing wrong with being a stepmother. I heard that giving birth is very painful. If you’re not careful, you can lose your life..”
