Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 218: No Experience in Taking Care of Children

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Serenity called Calvin Gilbert, she casually placed her phone at the side and took out a light yellow dress from the wardrobe. She matched it with a beige knitted sweater. Her seaweed-like long hair was draped over her shoulders and she wore a crystal hair clip. She looked docile and obedient.

When she went downstairs, Benjamin Rivers was satisfied with her outfit, but Helena Turner looked at her sadly.

Serenity held Helena Turner’s arm. “Mom, let’s go.”

When they walked out of the living room, the car was already waiting outside. The driver was Mr. Geoffrey. Serenity sat in the front passenger seat while Benjamin Rivers and Helena Turner sat in the back. The three of them did not speak along the way.

When they arrived at Berlin Restaurant, Serenity got out of the car. Two other people also got out of the car behind her. The man and Serenity looked at each other silently before she averted her gaze.

Selena came straight from the company so she was still wearing her white suit that covered her gentleness and gave off a more shrewd and capable aura. She walked toward her parents and said, “Dad, Mom.”

John also greeted him and Benjamin and Helena responded to him accordingly.

The two groups of people entered the restaurant. Under the guidance of the waiter, Serenity and the others entered the private room. The Fulton family had already arrived.

President Fulton was dressed very solemnly today in a gray three-piece suit. His hair was gelled and combed until it was shiny, revealing his broad forehead. When he saw them coming, he stood up and shook hands with Benjamin Rivers and John.

Serenity wanted to sit next to Helena Turner, but Benjamin Rivers said, “Serenity, sit beside me.”

She looked at the seat beside Benjamin Rivers and hesitated for a moment before sitting down. On her right was President Fulton.

On the other side of him sat a girl of six or seven years old. She was wearing a pink princess dress and a small coat. She had two small braids on her head and her skin was as white as a porcelain doll.

As soon as she sat down, the little girl stared at her and suddenly said, “You’re the stepmother that Daddy found for me?”

It seemed that the seven-year-old child should know what ‘stepmother’ meant because she sounded dissatisfied and slightly angry.

The word ‘stepmother’ agitated Serenity so she simply pursed her lips and did not say anything.

The private room fell silent. President Fulton awkwardly said, “Miss Serenity, please don’t mind it. Children are not sensible.”

Serenity forced a smile.

The waiter served the dishes and broke the awkwardness in the private room. President Fulton switched seats with his daughter, deliberately letting Serenity sit closer to the latter.

At the dining table, Benjamin Rivers repeatedly told Serenity to take good care of President Fulton’s daughter but Serenity continued eating her food calmly without any reaction.

President Fulton’s daughter was reaching for the prawns. Benjamin Rivers touched Serenity’s arm and she picked up her water glass to take a sip. She did not have any further reaction.

President Fulton picked up a prawn and put it into his daughter’s bowl. He tilted his head and looked at her. “Miss Serenity does not seem to like children.”

Serenity turned a deaf ear to the sarcasm in his words and calmly said, “President Fulton, you seem to have forgotten that I’m not married yet and have no experience in taking care of children.”

President Fulton’s expression changed slightly and he did not say anything else as he focused on peeling the prawns for his daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Fulton, President Fulton’s parents, were quite dissatisfied with Serenity for only thinking of herself and not taking care of their granddaughter. With a straight face, Mrs. Fulton said, “Miss Serenity, although it’s your first marriage, everyone knows what kind of situation your family is in. Not only will my son not have a good life after marrying you, but he also has to invest money in your family. And here you are treating my precious granddaughter so nonchalantly before you get married..”
