Chapter 324: She Hasn’t Come Back
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Gabriel returned home, the lights in the living room were still on. Mrs. Winstead went forward to take the clothes that he had taken off. “Where is she?” asked he.
“Didn’t Young Madam come back with you?” Mrs. Winstead was puzzled.
Gabriel frowned and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost eleven o’clock and the sky was covered with dark clouds as rain poured.
As he pulled his tie off, he took out his phone. There were no missed calls. He scrolled to Serenity’s number and called her. The mechanical female voice on the other end said that her phone was turned off.
For some reason, he felt a surge of frustration in his heart. He pulled off his tie and threw it on the sofa at the side. He called her again and again.
Mrs. Winstead looked at the heavy rain outside and was very worried. “Where could she have gone? Why didn’t she call back to inform us?”
Since he couldn’t get through to Serenity, Gabriel threw his phone on the coffee table and took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it.
The two of them were a few meters away from each other. They looked at each other for a few seconds. The man strode down the steps and quickly approached her. He held the umbrella over her head and frowned at her. “Where did you go?”
Serenity looked at him silently. When she heard his slightly heavy tone, her eyes became warm and the mist in her eyes rose again.
Gabriel saw that she did not speak for a long time, so he held her shoulders and walked her towards the living room. He did not care that hugging her like this would wet his clothes.
Mrs. Winstead was using the landline to call Serenity when she heard a voice coming from the entrance. She turned around and saw that it was Gabriel and Serenity.
She quickly put down the phone and walked over. When she saw Serenity, who was drenched from head to toe, she was shocked. “Young Madam, why are you drenched like this?”
Serenity tried her best to smile, but she still could not squeeze one out.
Gabriel took a dry towel and wiped the water droplets off her face and hair. “Go get some hot water,” said he to Mrs. Winstead.
“I’ll go now.” Mrs. Winstead responded and quickly went up to the second floor.
Serenity’s entire body was wet. She stood there and let Gabriel fuss over her. In just a few minutes, a puddle of water gathered under her feet.
It was almost the end of autumn. The night was cold yet she was drenched in the rain. The cold rainwater seeped into her skin and she started to shiver..
