The sun was setting in the west, and the last ray of light on the horizon faded. The sky gradually darkened.
Serenity stood in front of the window and looked at the tall sycamore trees outside. The cool night breeze blew in and she quickly realized that it was already autumn.
The wind chimes hanging on the windowsill let out a faint ring with the wind. It was low as if it was telling a certain story.
She didn’t know if it was because it was autumn or something else, but she actually felt a little cold.
She took her phone and scrolled through the contact list. She found Calvin Gilbert’s name and dialed his number.
As soon as the call connected, she said, “I agree to marry you.”
Her hoarse and slightly cold voice had an inexplicable sadness in this early autumn weather.
She now accepted that she would never be able to escape fate. It was the same twenty-three years ago, and it was the same twenty-three years later. This was probably her fate.
Calvin Gilbert was drinking with a group of buddies at Golden Sands Bay when he picked up Serenity’s call. “I agree to marry you.” Calvin jumped out of his seat.
“Do you really agree to get married? Didn’t you go to Jonan City on a business trip?”
The noisy private room instantly fell silent as everyone stared at him in shock.
Serenity briefly explained the situation and Calvin remained silent for a moment. He only asked about the time and place where the Rivers and Fulton families would meet. After hanging up the phone, he was still a little out of sorts.
“Mr. Calvin, who’s getting married?” asked one of the scions.
Calvin pushed the woman beside him away and walked around the crowd to the outside of the private room. “I am.”
Everyone widened their eyes in shock as if they had heard something incredible.
After Calvin left the private room, the room exploded as the crowd gathered and started discussing.
“Mr. Calvin is getting married? When did this happen? I haven’t heard of it, there’s no news at all.”
“Which family’s young lady was able to take down this rich kid?”
“The Gilbert family is prestigious. The one who can marry into the Gilbert family should be a socialite. However, it’s hard to change one’s nature. 1 don’t know if marrying Mr. Calvin is a blessing or a beginning of misfortune for her.” “Not necessarily.” One of the sexy and charming women said, “No matter how much Mr. Calvin plays outside now, as long as that woman holds the position of Mrs. Gilbert, she won’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life. This kind of free life is something that no one can snatch away.”
Outside the private room.
Calvin found a quiet place and called another person. A man’s clear voice came through the earpiece and Calvin instantly said, “She agreed.”
John was still working overtime at the company when his phone rang, he picked it up without looking at it. When he heard Calvin Gilbert suddenly say, “She agreed.”
“What?”
Calvin’s peach blossom eyes narrowed. “Serenity agreed to marry me.”
John was silent for a moment before he indifferently said, “I understand.”
Calvin had just hung up when Selena called John. “John, when the Rivers residence and the Fulton family meet later, Dad wants me to go with you.” John’s paused midway through signing a document. “Is she back?”
Selena’s voice was gentle. “Yes.”
John pondered for a moment and said, “I’m still at the company. Time and place?”
“At Berlin Restaurant, eight o’clock. I’m still at my company too”
He raised his wrist and glanced at the watch. “I’ll pick you up now..”
