Serenity quickly took the phone away from her ear and covered it with her hand. She turned to look at Gabriel and laughed dryly before continuing to talk to Helena Turner.
âIsnât it normal to work hard? Dad and Sis are the same sometimes.â
Helena sighed and said, âItâs okay if your dad and sister are tired. After all, itâs their company, but youâre working for someone else.â
âMom, I understand. Itâs getting late. You should rest early.â
After the call, she took a deep breath and threw her phone aside.
Gabriel bit her earlobe and said with a faint smile, âHard work? Working overtime?â
She wanted to break free from his embrace, but he tightly held her waist. She smiled and said, âItâs not hard at all. I volunteered to work overtime.â
Gabriel said, âYou should work overtime tonight.â
Serenityâs face turned slightly red, and under the crystal chandelier, she looked even more beautiful.
âArenât you tired?â asked she with a bright smile.
The smile in Gabrielâs eyes was very obvious. âYouâll know soon.â As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her.
He seemed different tonight â gentle and passionate.
After they were done, Gabriel did not leave immediately like before. Instead, he leaned against the headboard and lit a cigarette.
Serenity leaned against his chest and listened to his rhythmic heartbeat.
Neither of them spoke and the room was silent.
A few minutes later, Gabriel was halfway through his cigarette when he suddenly said, âDo you remember what day it is today?â
She thought about it carefully. Today didnât seem to be a special day.
In case she remembered wrongly, she took her phone from the bedside table and looked at the calendar. It was just a normal day.
However, she knew that he was definitely not bored enough to make fun of her.
She shook her head and looked at his cold and handsome face. âI donât know.â
Gabriel took a deep puff of his cigarette. The smoke curled around his distinct features, making him look even more handsome.
He looked straight ahead and took a few more puffs of his cigarette before unhurriedly saying, âThree months.â
Serenity was stunned for a moment before she finally understood what he meant by âthree monthsâ.
If he hadnât reminded her, she would have forgotten that she had been with him for that long.
She smiled and said, âIt has been three months.â
She deliberately sounded a little surprised. Then, she sadly said, âTime really flies.â
After saying that, she lowered her eyes, looking very miserable.
Gabriel pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and took out a check that he had written beforehand from the drawer of the bedside table. There was no expression on his handsome face as he said, âOur relationship ends here.â He looked cold and heartless.
She froze and her clear, pitch-black pupils reflected his cold expression.
In an instant, she regained her composure. She pouted and looked at him aggrievedly, then playfully said, âIâm applying to extend our relationship.â
Gabrielâs face remained emotionless. He merely raised his eyes and looked at her lazily. Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile.
âDonât push your luck.â
She blinked, her eyes clear and bright as she said innocently, âNo, Iâm just defending my position..â
