Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The lights in the parking lot were motion sensor types. At the moment, everything was dim since no one had been walking around the parking lot for some time.

Serenity did not know how long she had stayed in the basement parking lot as the cold air of the night pierced through her skin while she was curled up in a ball in a corner. She kept rubbing her arms, trying to generate some warmth so that she would not freeze from the cold.

She leaned against the wall weakly and rubbed her abdomen, feeling a little sleepy.

Just then, she heard distant yet steady footsteps echoing through the parking lot. The lights lit up, a car was unlocked, and the taillights of a car not far away flashed.

Serenity looked over and saw the man walking towards the Maybach in a hurry. She wanted to get up, but her legs had gone numb again and she fell back to the ground.

“Gabriel,” said she in a slightly hoarse voice as she moved her lips.

As it was late at night, the parking lot was very quiet. So, even though her voice was very soft, Gabriel still heard it.

He paused and looked around to find a figure crouched on the ground behind a pillar not far away, her long hair draping over her shoulders.

He walked slowly towards her as his anxious heart slowly calmed down. His tone was slightly cold as he asked, “What are you doing here instead of going home at night?”

Serenity looked at the man who looked slightly out of breath and disheveled. She was about to say something but bit her lips in grievance and turned her to look away.

Her refusal to speak only made Gabriel even angrier. “Speak!” said he coldly.

She slowly stood up while rubbing her legs, but they still felt numb. “My legs are numb.”

When she looked up at him, he noticed how pale she looked. The grievance in her voice and eyes didn’t go unnoticed either. Serenity looked so pitiful as if she had been abandoned.

When he met her innocent eyes that had a slightly red ring around them, he couldn’t bear to release his anger on her.

“What are you doing in the parking lot?” asked he, his tone a little gentler.

She did not answer his question and repeated what she said earlier.

Gabriel gave in and bent over to carry her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her cold hands touching the skin on the back of his neck. He frowned. “How long have you been here?”

She clung to his body, wanting to absorb more warmth, but the suit jacket was in the way.

“Not long ago,” she replied in a muffled voice as she nuzzled her face into his chest.

Gabriel carried her towards the car. She cooperated and opened the car door for him as he bent down to place her in the passenger seat before walking around the car to the driver’s seat. The moment he got in, Gabriel took off his coat to wrap it around her.

His coat was still warm from his body temperature, besides the lingering scent of mint and tobacco.

Serenity immediately cozied herself in his coat after going numb and cold from her wait.

Gabriel turned on the heater in the car, placed one hand on the steering wheel, and tapped his slender fingers rhythmically. His cold face started to tense up. Anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

The changes in his body language didn’t go unnoticed so Serenity didn’t dare speak rashly. She returned the coat to him since he was only wearing a shirt and pants.

He must have been in too much of a hurry because he didn’t even button his shirt properly, making him look disheveled..
