Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone had a painful past, just like her, so she cleverly chose to play dumb.

Both of them fell silent which started to feel a little strange.

She turned on the music to lighten the atmosphere, but it was a sad song. Fortunately, her phone rang at this moment, breaking the awkward silence.

The call was from Helena Turner. She answered the call. “Mom?”

Helena had just returned home from attending Chris’s funeral. She sat on the armchair next to the phone and asked about her relationship with Gabriel. Since the man beside her was there, she gave a simple answer.

“Did he bring you back to the Jones family?” This was the main reason Helena called. Other people might not care about her daughter, but she could not let her suffer.

Serenity covered her phone and hummed unconvincingly. Helena then asked about Keith Jones’s and his wife’s attitudes towards her.

Afraid that the man next to her would hear her, she tensed up and tried to avoid Helena’s question with a few words.

Helena could tell that she was stuttering and thought that it might be inconvenient, so she didn’t say anything else and hung up.

After the call ended, Serenity glanced at Gabriel. She did not know if he had heard what she said just now. He did not ask, so she was not stupid enough to say it herself.

He had never mentioned bringing her back to the Jones family, and she was not in a hurry either. On one hand, she was not ready. On the other hand, she was afraid that the Jones family would not accept her. After all, Gabriel’s status was not something that could be easily achieved by just anyone.

When they returned to South Bay, Gabriel went to the study while Serenity was watching television in the living room with Mrs. Winstead since the latter had nothing to do. The two women started to chat casually.

It was unknown who started the conversation, but they started talking about Gabriel’s childhood.

Mrs. Winstead was from the main residence and had watched Gabriel grow up, so she knew Gabriel very well.

The senior lady smiled and said, “Young Master was very naughty when he was young. He was a little tyrant in school, simply a rascal. When he got into trouble, he would be beaten by Master Jones. At that time, he was only eight years old. He didn’t even say a word when he was beaten, refusing to admit his mistake. He was very stubborn.”

Serenity listened quietly. She had always thought Gabriel was the top student and not a mischievous little tyrant.

Seeing how intently she was listening, Mrs. Winstead continued to say, “After he turned ten, Young Master slowly became sensible and stopped playing around. His studies have always been the best in the entire grade. Master Jones loved him very much and often bought him toys, but he said that they were for children to play with. At that time, he was only ten years old yet he spoke like a little adult.”

At this point, Mrs. Winstead smiled. Her face was kind and gentle as if she was talking about her own child. There was a smile in her eyes that could not be hidden.

Serenity casually asked, “Is his relationship with Madam Jones good?”

Mrs. Winstead was slightly surprised and the smile on her face slowly faded. “It used to be very good.”

Seeing that Mrs. Winstead did not continue, Serenity grew very curious, but she did not ask further. She could only pretend to be casual as she asked, “In the past?”

Mrs. Winstead nodded and opened her mouth to say something. But he must have realized that she shouldn’t say too much. She had said enough today in a happy mood. If Young Master knew about it, he would probably lose his temper again. “Young Madam, I still have something to do. 1’11 leave first.”

Afraid that she would overthink, Serenity hurriedly said, “1 just want to know more about him. After all, I’m his wife and the person who will live with him in the future. The last time Mrs. Jones called him, the two seemed to have had an unhappy relationship..”
