Chapter 291 - 291: Are There Any Wedding Gifts?
When Gabriel woke up, he felt a numbness in his arm and was about to shift in discomfort. But just as he moved his arm, he heard a woman’s dissatisfied moans as she snuggled into his embrace again.
That was when he remembered that Serenity had moved in last night. He looked down at the woman in his arms who was still sleeping. Her hair was spread all over his arm instead of draping over her fair face as white as jade porcelain, flawless.
It was reassuring and cozy to wake up next to someone.
This woman had gotten into an accident for him 28 years ago.
With the situation they were in now, he no longer saw the accident as an unfortunate event. Instead, he was convinced that it was God’s destined fate for him and Serenity.
As Gabriel continued to gaze lovingly at her, Serenity’s long dark eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. Though awake, she was still in a daze.
Gabriel kissed her forehead. “Time to get up.”
Serenity looked at him blankly and then at the unfamiliar environment, taking some time to remember where she was.
Gabriel got off the bed naked and went to the wardrobe to get some clothes. Serenity’s face turned red and she pulled the blanket over her head like a turtle that had shrunk into its shell.
Upon hearing the shuffle of sheets behind him, Gabriel turned around and saw a bump under the blanket. A faint smile appeared on his face.
He took out a white shirt and a pair of black trousers from the closet and went to the bathroom.
By the time he finished washing up and came out, Serenity was already dressed. He gently said, “Wash up quickly. I’ll wait for you in the dining room.”
Gabriel went downstairs while Serenity entered the washroom. There was a new set of toothbrush and toothpaste on the washing table. The color seemed more suited for men so it must be a spare set.
Serenity eventually made her way into the dining room and found Gabriel reading the newspaper though his breakfast remained untouched. Serenity saw Mrs. Winstead coming out of the kitchen and smiled. “Good morning, Mrs. Winstead.”
Mrs. Winstead served Serenity’s breakfast and smiled in return. “Good morning, Young Madam.”
Serenity sat across from Gabriel. It was still early, so she ate her breakfast slowly. The two did not speak but the atmosphere was still warm and peaceful.
After breakfast, Serenity left with Gabriel for the office. Caleb did not know she had already moved in so he was a little surprised to see her appear at the door. Serenity greeted Caleb with a smile. “Good morning, Assistant Caleb.”
Caleb respectfully opened the car door for her. “Young Madam.”
Serenity sat in the car and pondered carefully. If she sat in Gabriel’s car every day, she would be discovered sooner or later. She turned to the man next to her and said, “Are there any other cars in the garage?”
Gabriel could already tell what she was thinking from the way she looked at him. There was a faint smile in his eyes. “None that are suitable for women to drive in.
“Oh…” Serenity’s dark eyes darted around slyly as she hugged his arm with a smile. “How about wedding gifts?”
Gabriel patted her head, finding her behavior rather funny. If she wanted something, she could just say it. There was no need to beat around the bush.
“Caleb, if you have time in the afternoon, go to the 4S shop.”
Though his eyes were focused on the road, Caleb had also been paying attention to the conversation behind him. He knew what his boss meant and said, “Alright.”
Serenity was now in high spirits as she leaned forward to kiss Gabriel on the cheek. Then, she leaned back and looked at him with sparkles in her eyes..
