Serenity noticed his unusual behavior and glanced at Gabriel before looking at Selena in confusion.
Selena held onto the pale-faced John and looked at him worriedly. “Do you want to rest for a while?”
However, ever since Serenity confirmed she was pregnant, John’s world seemed to have entered darkness. He could no longer hear what others were saying. A black fog enveloped him from all directions. He was trapped inside and could no longer walk out.
His ears buzzed. He saw Selena’s lips opening and closing, but he couldn’t hear what she was saying.
Serenity glanced at his pale face and asked Selena, “What happened to him?”
Selena knew why John was so dejected, but because Gabriel was around, she could not say it out loud. “He’s probably too sad and tired.”
John and Chris did not have a good father-son relationship, and Serenity knew that. Selena’s words could fool others but not her. However, the last sentence might be true.
“Brother-in-law, you should rest more if you’re tired. Take care of your health.” Serenity tried to comfort him.
Joh’s eyes had turned misty, but he tried his best to suppress it. He moved his dry lips but his throat was so hoarse that he could not make a sound.
Gabriel looked at the man opposite him with a complicated gaze. “President Grant, the deceased has left.”
Another person came to pay their respects so Gabriel held Serenity and walked to the side. The people waiting behind them went forward to say some comforting words to John and the others.
On the way back, Serenity asked Gabriel, “Do you think John… My brother-in-law seems a little abnormal today?”
Gabriel stared ahead as he drove. A hint of emotion flashed across his dark eyes. “I don’t think so.”
“He just looked so sad.” She recalled John’s reaction just now. His pitch-black eyes looked so painful and the corners of his red eyes were filled with sadness and despair.
“Is it abnormal to be overly sad after the death of a loved one?” asked Gabriel indifferently.
She shook her head after some thought. “His relationship with Uncle Chris was very strained because of Auntie Hess. So, he shouldn’t be too sad about Uncle Chris’s death. But just now, he…”
She couldn’t find the right words to describe his actions. She had never seen him like that before and it made her heart ache.
“Serene.” Gabriel frowned slightly and called out her name with a cold expression. He calmly said, “He’s your ex-boyfriend, and I’m your husband.”
His words were clearly reminding her of her identity. Only then did she realize that she had been overly concerned.
She didn’t know if he was jealous, but she was sure that he was very unhappy now.
Serenity turned to Gabriel and smiled. “He’s my brother-in-law. It’s only right to care about him.”
“But he’s still your ex-childhood sweetheart and ex-boyfriend.” Although his tone was calm, there was a slight chill too.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but the words ‘childhood sweetheart’ seemed to have a heavy tone when they came out of his mouth.
“You said it yourself. That’s my ex-boyfriend. I don’t believe that you don’t have an ex-girlfriend.”
Her unintentional words caused Gabriel to fall silent.
Seeing that he was silent, her passion to liven up the atmosphere instantly died down. She remembered the photo she had seen in his study and the English sentence at the back..
