Chapter 344 - 344: Let’s Go Home
Selena supported him and gently said, “Grandpa, I’m not wronged. John and 1 divorced because we didn’t get along. So, this has nothing to do with Serene.” “Impossible.” Old Master Samson did not believe her. “You’ve been protecting her ever since she returned to the Rivers residence. Are you still going to continue protecting an ingrate?”
“I was the one who suggested the divorce. You can vent your anger on me. Her only mistake was…” John’s eyes had turned cold, “…to be reincarnated into the wrong family.”
After he finished speaking, he pulled Serenity, who had fallen silent, out of the room.
Gabriel strode into the Rivers residence’s living room. Mrs. Walter respectfully called out to him. “Second Young Master.” He glanced around the living room but did not see Serenity. “Where is she?”
“Serene is still in the study upstairs,” said Helena anxiously.
“How long has it been?” asked Gabriel in a deep voice.
“At least half an hour,” said Helena.
As soon as she finished speaking, they heard another loud sound from the study. Gabriel’s brows furrowed and he quickly walked up the stairs. When he reached the last step, he saw John dragging Serenity out of the study.
When she saw the man at the staircase, Serenity was stunned, not even hearing Old Master Samson’s roar. She stared blankly at the man, her face looking slightly cold.
John didn’t expect Gabriel to come over. After recovering from his shock, he looked at the man calmly, not letting go of Serenity’s arm as if he were trying to claim her.
Gabriel’s gaze swept over to John’s hand holding onto Serenity’s arm. He walked towards them with steady steps and stared at her pale face. “Are you alright?”
Serenity shook her head, pursing her lips without saying anything.
“Are you done discussing the matter?” asked Gabriel again.
She bit her lip and hid the emotions in her eyes. “It’s nothing. I just came back to confirm something.”
“That means we’re done.” Gabriel’s silent gaze was like the dark sky. He brought her to his side and walked away with his arm around her waist. “Let’s go home.”
John looked at the backs of the couple. It was so glaring that it pierced his heart. He suddenly said, “Serene…”
The couple had just reached the staircase when they heard John calling her name. Serenity turned to look at him. Her pale lips were slightly curved. “I’m fine.”
She felt the hand on her shoulder increase its grip on her. She looked up at Gabriel. The man’s expression was the same. He was still cold. She softly said, “Let’s go.”
Helena saw them coming down the stairs. She sized up Serenity from head to toe and asked with concern, “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Not wanting Helena Turner to worry, she smiled lightly and said, “I’m okay. Grandpa just broke something. He didn’t hit me.”
“That’s good.” Helena felt relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual about Serenity other than her pale face.
Serenity pursed her pale lips and looked upstairs. “Grandpa is very angry now. Mom, don’t go up.”
“Mom’s fine,” said Helena softly. “Besides, your sister is here. You don’t have to worry.”
Serenity nodded. Every time Old Master Samson got angry, Selena would find a way to make him laugh. “We’ll go back first..”
