Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Her hair was almost dry so Serenity went to lie down on the bed as she was told. Gabriel entered the bathroom and she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. However, her heart remained calm and gentle.

Ten minutes later, Gabriel came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel with dripping wet hair. It was messy but it made him look more manly.

Gabriel wiped the water off his hair. When he turned around, he saw her staring at him in a daze. He threw the towel in his hand aside and walked over to lift a corner of the blanket. He lay down beside her and pulled her into his embrace. “What are you thinking about?”

Although she had been lying on the bed for a while, her body was still a little cold. He had just taken a shower so his body was still warm. Now that she was in his arms, she felt very cozy. She could not help but curl up in his arms. “I’m thinking about the first time we met.”

“Hmm?” A low and seductive voice came out of his throat.

She recalled the first time they met and couldn’t help but smile. “At that time, you said that you didn’t necessarily want every woman who came to your door.”

“Are you sure that was the first time we met?” Gabriel looked down at her.

She leaned her head against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. She could not help but be surprised when she heard his words. “Isn’t it?”

Gabriel recalled the time when she crashed into his car and still had that arrogant look on her face. He curled his lips silently. “Did you crash someone else’s car on your first day Cador?”

“Yes, I did.” She replied softly. The next second, she was shocked by a sudden realization. How did he know?

“Don’t tell me you were the one I hit?”

Gabriel caressed her hair that was spread on the pillow. Her hair was of good quality, soft and fine like silk.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “You don’t remember at all?”

That day, she had just arrived in Cador and was still immersed in her heartbreaking past so she did not notice who was sitting in the other party’s car.

When it was time for her to face the other party, all she did was write down John’s phone number. The two had essentially met then, but the person she had direct contact with was Caleb since he was driving.

Gabriel supported his head with one hand as he lay on his side, his deep eyes staring at her.

Because she was lying flat, the crystal chandelier on the ceiling shone into her eyes. Her pitch-black eyes were clear and bright.

He could not help but kiss the corner of her lips. “Why did you approach me?”

He had asked her this question once before and she had evaded it the last time. She did not expect him to ask her again.

Her eyes turned a little evasive. “It’s very late. I still have to work tomorrow. I’m going to sleep.””

Gabriel clamped her chin and did not allow her to escape. He made her look into his deep eyes as he calmly said, “Tell me, I want to know.”

His tone was gentle. She looked at him for a moment and pursed her lips. “You are better than him.”

Gabriel still looked at her calmly. “So you were simply unwilling to give in.”

She nodded silently. It was exactly this kind of mentality that had caused her to look for him.

Gabriel was not as angry as she had expected. He only hugged her tightly. The two of them remained silent for a long while. She was thinking of something to ease the atmosphere when she heard him say, “Well, I’m glad you were unwilling to go down without a fight.”

Otherwise, how could he marry her?

Perhaps they would meet at a banquet, but he would never take notice of her and marry her just because he saw her..
