The ceremony had already begun and the banquet hall was filled with fragrant clothes and an extremely lively atmosphere. Hundreds of transparent champagne glasses were stacked into a small mountain for the champagne fountain.

Gabriel opened the champagne bottle and the crowd cheered as it bubbled.

He poured the champagne from the topmost glass on stage, allowing it to cascade into the rest of the glasses and thus creating the champagne foundation under the dazzling brilliance of the crystal chandelier.

Everyone stepped forward to take a glass of champagne as they flattered Gabriel. Then, they dispersed and greeted familiar people or chatted merrily.

Gabriel held a glass of champagne and exchanged pleasantries with a few guests. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the boss of a certain company, he excused himself and looked at Caleb through the crowd. Caleb approached and Gabriel asked, “Have you found her?”

“No.” Caleb shook his head.

Selena couldn’t find any medicine or ointment for Serenity in the car. She considered going to the pharmacy to buy it, but she was afraid that it would be too late. Moreover, she came with John today. She represented not only the Grant family but also the Rivers family. It was not appropriate to leave at this time.

She returned to the banquet hall and saw Gabriel talking to Caleb. Selena approached them with a gentle smile and said, “President Jones, Serene sprained her ankle. Would you happen to have the medicine or ointment for her?”

As a new establishment, the resort should be stocked with first aid kits and supplies for various common injuries, including sprains.

“Go get what Mrs. Grant needs,” said Gabriel to Caleb.

Caleb nodded and left. Selena smiled gratefully. “Thank you, President Jones.”

Gabriel’s indifferently said, “You’re welcome.”

Then, someone came to greet Gabriel who responded indifferently, leaving Selena standing on the side awkwardly.

Caleb returned quickly with the medicine, passing it to Selena who then headed towards the elevator so that she could get to the guest room on the fourth floor. She called John to ask for the room number after she got out of the elevator.

After John had carried Serenity back to the guest room, he placed her on the sofa. The curtains were drawn so the room was a little dark.

He walked over and pulled the curtains open. There was a lake outside against a background of mountains and rivers. The lake was jade green and made the resort a great place for a vacation.

John opened a window, and a gentle breeze entered the room. He turned around and walked closer to Serenity before half-kneeling before her. He lifted her feet onto his knees, preparing to take off her shoes.

Serenity retracted her foot in a panic. When she saw him looking at her in surprise, she turned to look elsewhere.

Getting the message, John looked away, got up, and turned on the television. He then walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette. After taking a deep puff, the smoke curled up into his eyes.

The television was playing a popular drama, but Serenity was in no mood to watch it. She was looking at the balcony from the corner of her eyes.

John never smoked in the past. And back then, Calvin Gilbert always teased him. “Are you still a man if you don’t smoke?”

Serenity was next to John when Calvin made the comment. When John heard it, he simply smiled, put his arm around Serenity’s shoulder, and jokingly said, “I have no choice. My future wife is strict.”

Serenity was only sixteen years old at the time. When she heard him refer to her as his future wife, her face immediately turned red. She burrowed into his arms and shyly scolded him for being annoying.

And every time he used her as a shield, Calvin would tease him further. “John, don’t act all high and mighty. You’re just lucky you have a childhood sweetheart.. Do you have to show off your love in front of me every day? Do you still want me to live?”
