“But…” Serenity’s main concern wasn’t about Madam Eaton as a person, but what she would say about Serenity and Gabriel to others. “What if she says bad things about me in front of Mom and Mom doesn’t like me?”

Gabriel gazed at her gently, “Aunty does like to spread rumors.”

Every time she felt depressed, she would subconsciously bite her lip.

Gabriel’s thumb caressed her red lips and saved her from biting them until they were pale. “Even if Aunty doesn’t say anything, Dad and Mom won’t accept you for a while. So, it doesn’t really matter who says what, honestly.”

He might have said that nonchalantly but Serenity still couldn’t help but worry.

Keith Jones and Sulia Silver had already felt that her family background was not worthy of him. If Madam Eaton were to exaggerate things and make it sound like she was leeching off him, wouldn’t they hate her even more?

“Dad and Mom are not people who can’t differentiate right from wrong. Besides, they know what kind of person Aunty is.” He sighed softly as he looked at her furrowed brows.

The two walked around casually before returning to the living room. When they heard the sound of laughter, Gabriel stopped in his tracks. Serenity, who was slightly behind him, stopped in time to avoid bumping into him.

“Go get Young Madam’s bag,” said Gabriel to the butler.

“Yes, Young Master.” The butler replied respectfully.

After being outside for a long time, her hands were cold and stiff so Serenity put her hands in her pockets. Her bright red coat made her look like a delicate flower in late autumn. Her cheeks were flushed as she asked, “Aren’t we going in?”

“I don’t want to go in and cause trouble.” Gabriel turned his body sideways.

“Isn’t that good? Let’s go in and at least say our goodbyes.” Everyone was inside. Was it really okay for them to leave without saying a word?

Gabriel was used to doing things his own way, but it was her first time visiting the Jones family today. She had to leave a good impression on everyone so that they would not gossip behind her back.

Gabriel could tell that she was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the people in the room, so he held her hand and walked in.

Since the butler had already entered to get Serenity’s bag, Sulia found out that the couple was leaving without saying a word. Madam Eaton said, “Sis, the Rivers family must be quite ill-mannered to not have raised their daughters to say their goodbyes to the elders before leaving. How could they act so arrogantly without even getting your permission to go? If she is to truly be accepted into the Jones family, wouldn’t such behavior be bad?”

Madam Barlowe had a relatively better impression of Serenity, seeing her as a rather dignified and graceful person. However, she had to agree with her sister that it was impolite to do leave without a word.

“Maybe they have something urgent to attend to,” said Linda as if to be considerate. She was deliberately showing off in front of Sulia Silver today.

However, Madam Barlowe’s good impression of Linda disappeared, believing the latter was only making things more difficult for Serenity.

Sulia’s expression was not looking too good as she quietly said, “No matter how urgent the matter is, they should at least inform everyone. How much time can they waste?”

“That’s right.” Madam Eaton wasted no time in agreeing with her sister.

Serenity and Gabriel had just stepped into the living room when they heard their argument. A sneer escaped from the man’s cold lips. He glanced at Madam Eaton indifferently and then turned to Sulia Silver. “We just walked around for a little too long. But what is this I’m hearing? Can’t 1 visit the Jones residence in my own time and manner?”

The last sentence was cold but his gaze was even colder, his deep black eyes giving off an invisible sense of oppression..
