Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndtessFantasy Translation

Gabriel was playing cards with Joseph Lopez and a few other people he was familiar with at Golden Bay Club. The phone on the table kept ringing, but he turned a deaf ear.

Joseph was sitting on Gabriel’s right and glanced at the name on the screen. No wonder Gabriel called him out today.

“You seem to be in a bad mood today. You’re not even picking up your mother’s call. Your family arranged a blind date for you?” he teased.

Gabriel shot him a sidelong glance and felt that his gloating expression was very glaring. “You’ve been too idle these days. When are you going back to Jonan City?”

“What did 1 do to you in Andalas City?” asked Joseph as he stacked the cards. He remembered the engagement between the Rivers and Gilbert families a month ago and raised his eyebrows. “Ms. Serenity almost got engaged to Calvin Gilbert?”

At the mention of Serenity’s name, Gabriel recalled his foolish behavior last night. His eyes darkened slightly as he rubbed the card in his hand and hummed a vague response that was neither too soft nor too heavy.

Joseph glanced at his expression and thought that his sudden change in expression was because Serenity and Calvin Gilbert were almost engaged. His eyes were filled with playfulness as he sighed. “That Young Master Gilbert is really unlucky. He was about to get a beauty, but something happened to the company.”

Others might not be able to understand the deeper meaning behind his words, but Gabriel could understand what he was implying. He frowned and said, “Stop being so sarcastic.”

At this moment, Gabriel’s phone on the table beeped with a text notification. Gabriel could not be bothered with it and shook his cigarette out of the pack. But when he saw an unfamiliar number on the lit screen, he recalled that it was the number that sent Serenity and Calvin Gilbert’s photo last time.

He threw the pack of cigarettes on the table and unlocked his phone. The next second, he stood up. As he stood up a little too much, the chair scraped sharply against the floor. Everyone stopped drawing cards and looked at him suspiciously.

Joseph saw his expression change and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gabriel was holding his phone stiffly. Then, he picked up his coat from the back of the chair and walked out without saying a word.

Joseph had never seen him with such a solemn expression before. He followed him out of the private room. “What happened?”

Gabriel’s expression was a little dark, but no other emotions could be seen. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired and want to go back and rest.”

In the parking lot of the clubhouse, Gabriel pulled open the car door and sat inside. He did not start the engine immediately. Instead, he took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth. He lit it up and took two consecutive puffs. His brows were filled with melancholy.

He held a cigarette in his left hand and took out his phone from his pocket with his right hand. He called Caleb.

Half an hour later, Caleb rushed over only to have a phone thrown at him. “Check the authenticity of these photos.”

Caleb opened the photo in confusion. It was of Serenity’s side profile when she came out of the gynecology department. Although it was only a side profile, the photography skills were not bad. Her facial features were captured very clearly.

Anyone who knew Serenity would be able to recognize her at a glance. Moreover, she was wearing the uniform of the Zephyr Group’s secretariat.

Seeing the words ‘Obstetrics and Gynecology’ above the department, Caleb had a bold guess. He continued to the second photo. On it was a test report. She was six weeks pregnant, and her pregnant sac was o.8mm*i.2mm. He looked at the name column and saw Serenity’s name on it.

He looked at Gabriel in shock. “President Jones, this…”

Was the child President Jones’s or Calvin Gilbert’s?

Gabriel took a puff of his cigarette and slowly blew out a ring of smoke that lingered on his cold face. “I want to know the result tomorrow morning..”
