Gabriel and Serenity had discussed their wedding plans when they registered their marriage. But Serenity never told Helena or Benjamin about it. âMom-
Helena interrupted her and said, âIâm not asking you, Iâm asking him.â
Gabrielâs pitch-black pupils hid emotions that only he could understand. Calmly, he said, âAfter 1 bring her to meet my parents.â
Helena Turner was satisfied with his answer since she was of the opinion that it was only right to inform both sides of parents about marriage. âIf your parents arenât satisfied with Serene, what will you do?â
Helenaâs question hit the nail on the head since this was also what Serenity was worried about. After all, the Jones familyâs background was not ordinary. Anyone would expect their daughter-in-law to be one in ten thousand or a business marriage.
Serenity placed a spoonful of food in her mouth and looked at Gabriel who remained calm as he said, âIâm the one marrying Serenity, not them.â
Helena Turner was relieved to hear his response and the dinner finally proceeded peacefully.
After dinner, the servants served fruits. Benjamin Rivers said, âSince youâre already married, itâs not right for you to live separately. Serenity, go pack your things and return with President Jones tonight.â
The couple had already registered their marriage and was expecting a child. How could Helena say otherwise?
Serenity heeded his words and proceeded upstairs to pack her things. She took out a rose-red suitcase from the closet and put her clothes in. Then, she remembered something and pulled out a cardboard box from under the bed. The box was sealed with scotch tape.
She took a pair of scissors from the drawer and cut the box open. There were all kinds of things in there â photo albums, chocolate wrapping paper, paper kites, second-year English exercise books, and Pikachu dolls.
These were memories related to John.
The box once had more items in it but she had burned most of them the night before she went abroad. She had planned to burn them all but couldnât bring herself to. So the few items she was looking at presently were what was left.
She picked up a photo album and flipped through it. It was filled with photos of her and John. In some, there were only the two of them. In others, there were others too. There was only one photo of her, John, and Calvin.
The young John looked bright and handsome with a clean smile. He wore a simple white T-shirt, which did not hide his temperament at all.
Calvin and he were from the same school. When she was in her third year of high school, the boys were already in their second year of university. She heard from Calvin that John was the most handsome man in their school, so there were many people who liked him. Every time someone confessed to him, he would say that he already had a girlfriend.
But at that time, she liked him and he simply doted on her. They never made their relationship official so she never thought he was referring to her.
When she heard Calvinâs words back then, she became so angry that she avoided him for a whole week.
One day, on the way back from school, John stopped her. When she saw him, she turned angry and her cheeks puffed up, making her look like an adorable hamster to John since she still had quite some baby fat on her face at the time. He pinched her fair little face and asked, âWhat is going on?â
âWhy are you blocking my way?â She glared at him angrily. âIf you have this much free time, why donât you spend it with your girlfriend?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
John was taken aback by her words and his mind went blank.
She had unceremoniously betrayed Calvin Gilbert. âCalvin Gilbert said it.â
John instantly understood what was going on and he revealed his clean smile that shone like the clear sky as he softly said, âSilly girl..â
