Chapter 309 - 309: This Awareness Is Correct
Usually, there would be other activities after the meal, so she had expected him back around ten o’clock at the latest. Now, it was not even 930 p.m. yet.
Gabriel took off his suit jacket and Serenity took it to hang it up for him. She leaned closer to him and sniffed his shirt. The smell of alcohol was not strong. It seemed like he did not drink much.
Gabriel could not help but laugh when he saw her behavior. “I’m afraid of sleeping in the guest room, so I didn’t dare to drink too much.”
Serenity scoffed. “The weather has been cold recently and the blankets are thin so, it’s right for you to have this awareness.”
Serenity was very beautiful when she smiled. Her pupils were black and clear, like the clear autumn sky.
He touched her cheek. He had just returned from outside so his hand was a little cold. She pulled his hand down and covered it with her palm. “Linda came to look for you today.”
When Gabriel heard that name, his brows furrowed slightly. He gave an indifferent hum and loosened his tie.
Serenity noticed he didn’t ask why Linda was here so she didn’t continue.
Gabriel was about to return to his room when he remembered that the ring was still in his jacket pocket when he reached the staircase. He returned to the entrance and took his jacket to the second floor.
Mrs. Winstead brewed some milk and passed it to Serenity. After Serenity finished drinking, she returned to the bedroom. The bedroom door was ajar and a cold voice came from inside.
Through the crack in the door, she saw Gabrielstanding by the window and making a phone call. His expression was gloomy and cold. She did not know what the other party was saying. She only heard Gabriel say, “I’ll bring her back to the main residence soon.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa. His expression was indescribably cold.
From the last sentence, she could tell that this call was either made by Keith Jones or Sulia Silver. Sulia had come to the company to look for him today, so she must have explained everything to Keith. Serenity deduced that Keith had called earlier.
Although she did not hear much, judging from Gabriel’s reaction, she could tell that the person on the other end of the phone was furious.
Not only Sulia, but even Keith Jones didn’t agree with them being together. It seemed that this road was really difficult.
She adjusted her emotions outside the door, pulled her cheeks, and smiled. Then, she pushed the door open.
Gabriel was standing in front of the window with his back facing the door. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not notice that someone had entered.
She hugged him from behind and smelled a faint smell of smoke. She stuck her head out to take a look at his face.
Sure enough, he had a cigarette between his fingers, and his eyes were bloodshot.
“Are you in a bad mood?” asked she despite knowing the answer.
Gabriel put out the cigarette in his hand and opened the window to let some air in. He held her arm that was wrapped around his waist and turned around. Staring at her beautiful face, his cold expression eased up quite a bit. “1 couldn’t hold back my smoking addiction.”
She knew the reason, so she didn’t continue on this topic, lest it made him more annoyed. “I’ll get your bath ready.”
She entered the bathroom and was testing the temperature of the water when a hand wrapped around her waist from behind. His warm lips landed on the back of her neck. She shivered and he took the opportunity to suck on her earlobe.
That was her most sensitive spot. She shrunk her neck and angril said, “Don’t mess around.”
“Let’s shower together, okay?” Gabriel hugged her tightly from behind.
He said it so temptingly in his unique magnetic voice. It was a little seductive.
Although she was immune to him every day, her heart still skipped a beat when he deliberately teased her..
