He hummed faintly and paused for a moment before saying, “You don’t have to wait for me next time I’m late.”

The two fell silent again.

Recalling the perfume she had smelled on his clothes, she turned around and faced him. Looking at his broad back, her chest felt heavy and uncomfortable. Suddenly, she reached out and hugged his waist. “I’m cold.”

Gabriel froze for a moment. Then, he turned around and pulled her into his embrace. “Go to sleep,” said he in a low and gentle voice.

Serenity snuggled in his embrace, but he did not hug her tighter or react in any other way. She rubbed against his chest again and he said with a whisper, “Don’t mess around.” However, he did not make any further moves.

He was not interested in her at all.

If a person’s desire was satisfied, he would be indifferent to any other woman.

Thinking of the woman’s perfume on his clothes, she felt even more upset as if something was gripping her tightly, and she spasmed.

She removed her hand from his chest and turned her back to him, putting some distance between them.

“What’s wrong?” The man opened his eyes.

“I’m not cold anymore,” said she with her pale lips.

The sleep light was on so the light was weak and gentle. Gabriel turned to look at her and what entered his eyes was the back of her head and her long, silky black hair.

Serenity did not sleep well that night. It was as if she had returned to the days when she first went to California three years ago. The loneliness and fear of being abandoned surrounded her tightly. She had strange dreams in her half-awake state.

Gabriel had woken up in the middle of the night to drink some water. He saw her curled up into a ball, her pale face covered in sweat, and her mouth was mumbling nonsense. He guessed that she must have had a nightmare, so he pulled her into his embrace and gently caressed her back.

She kept muttering to herself so he moved closer to her lips and listened carefully. The hand that was caressing her back suddenly froze.

“Don’t abandon me…”

The only person who could make her so worried and afraid of being abandoned even in her dreams was that man.

He got out of bed, put on his pajamas, and walked to the balcony with a cigarette. He started smoking one cigarette after another.

A few days ago, she had asked him if he would marry her if she was not pregnant. At that time, he had not thought about such a hypothesized question. But after giving it some careful thought, he realized his answer was yes.

From the moment she planned to get engaged to Calvin Gilbert, he had been possessive of her.

He had never felt this way all these years, so marrying her was only a matter of time.

It was just that this sudden child had brought things forward.

She was a smart woman. He thought she would know her limits after John abandoned her.

However, he never expected John to marry Selena for Serenity.

They were childhood sweethearts and had more than ten years of feelings. No one could surpass them, not to mention that he had done so much for her.

Even in her dreams, she begged him not to leave her. Was she going to leave him and return to John’s side?

In the business world, he had always been a strategist, but he had miscalculated Serenity’s behavior and thoughts because he had been too confident.

He thought that as long as he married her and kept her by his side, she would like him like those women.

Only today did he know that she had liked that man from the beginning to the end. All the good Gabriel had done for her mattered little compared to John.

The cigarette smoke swirled between his fingers. After taking the last puff, he threw the cigarette butt into the trash can. When he picked up the cigarette box and found that it was empty, he threw the cigarette box into the trash can in frustration.

In less than an hour, he finished half a pack of cigarettes. When he returned to his room, he looked at the time. It was already four in the morning. The smell of cigarettes was too strong, so he went to the guest room next door to rest..
