嗯~教官你好硬~不要了

She pouted and glared at him with clear and bright eyes. “You have to marry me anyway.”

The smile in John’s eyes deepened. “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re not old enough, 1 would have registered our marriage right now. I’ve wanted you to be mine a long time ago.”

That year, she was only eighteen years old and he had just celebrated his twentieth birthday. Unfortunately, he married someone else before she graduated from university.

Now, Serenity looked at the plate of chestnut chicken and calmly said, “1 don’t like old things anymore.”

John froze as his tightly pursed lips turned pale. It was as if a hammer had smashed into his heart and he almost convulsed in pain.

Mrs. Watson didn’t know what she meant and thought that Serenity was referring to the ingredients. “I just bought the chicken and chestnuts today. They’re fresh.”

“Oh,” said Serenity before turning silent.

Selena noticed John wasn’t looking too good so she quickly placed a piece of the chestnut chicken on Serenity’s plate to break the stiff atmosphere. “Serene, eat more.”

Though Serenity ate her meal, she ignored the piece of chestnut chicken, as though to emphasize her point.

It didn’t matter to her that Selena was the one who served it to her.

John looked at the piece of chicken remaining on Serenity’s plate and his heart was filled with complicated emotions.

After the meal, Mrs. Watson cleared the bowls and chopsticks. When she saw that the chestnut chicken hadn’t been touched much, she started to wonder if Serenity was right and that the ingredients weren’t as fresh as she had thought.

Serenity did not want to get in John’s car so after dinner, she carried Eva Grant to the lawn in the back garden for a walk. She wanted to wait until John went to the hospital before leaving.

As she walked with Eva, she was surprised to find a swimming pool beside the flower garden. When he first brought her to the villa, she had said, “If only there was a swimming pool here.”

At that time, he held her hand and said, “When I have money, I’ll definitely build a swimming pool for you here.”

This was where the Grant family and Chris had promised to let Nina Hess stay while John stayed in the main residence. After Nina’s death, John moved here.

Although he was the third young master of the Grant family, his relationship with Chris Grant had been strained because of Nina’s death. He was unwilling to spend Chris’s money, hence why he had to wait to make the swimming pool.

The swimming pool wasn’t here when she left for California, which meant that it was built after.

However, he was already married to Selena at that time. What was the point of installing the swimming pool then?

She couldn’t figure it out, nor could she understand.

An hour later, she led Eva Grant into the living room. But John was still there.

Her head heated up and she blurted out her thoughts. “Aren’t you going to the hospital? Why haven’t you left yet?”

John looked at her and said, “I have to send you back first.”

She couldn’t get a taxi near the villa, so she nodded and said, “Thank you, Brother-In-Law.”

The two of them sat in silence throughout the journey. When they arrived at the Rivers residence, Serenity got out of the car and reminded him of what she had heard from Mrs. Grant and her son at the hospital.

“Be careful of Mrs. Grant and her sons. I heard them talking about the Grant Group’s shares at the hospital today.”

But John was not surprised at all. “1 know..”
