Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After work, Gabriel had a dinner party to attend. Since Serenity was pregnant, it was not appropriate for her to go to places where alcohol and tobacco were mixed, so she went home.
Mrs. Winstead saw that Serenity had returned early and guessed that she had not eaten yet. “Young Madam, please rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon.”
Serenity unbuttoned her coat as she walked upstairs. “There’s no rush. Take your time. 1’11 take a shower first.”
Ten minutes later, she came downstairs, fresh after her shower. Mrs. Winstead had placed the dishes on the table by then. No matter how sumptuous the food was, Serenity still did not have much appetite when she ate alone. Moreover, she had been vomiting recently.
After dinner, Mrs. Winstead was washing the dishes in the kitchen while Serenity sat cross-legged on the sofa and watched TV. The doorbell rang and Serenity looked at the clock on the wall. It was not even eight o’clock. Was Gabriel done so quickly?
She walked over to open the door and was stunned. The person standing on the other side was also stunned. Serenity was the first to react as she calmed herself down and asked, “It’s already late. May 1 know why you’re here?”
Linda sized Serenity up. Seeing that the latter was wearing casual clothes, her frown deepened. “I’m here to look for President Jones.”
Serenity gently said, “I’m sorry. He’s not at home. If there’s anything urgent, you can call him.”
“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Linda hid the resentment in her eyes as a smile appeared on her gorgeous face. “Aren’t we friends?”
Serenity glanced at Linda’s clothes that was essentially a V-neck dress that revealed her cleavage paired with mesh stockings and a bright red long windbreaker. Linda looked extraordinarily gorgeous and fashionable.
If there was something so urgent she needed to speak to Gabriel about this late at night, she could have just called him instead of coming all the way to South Bay dressed so dangerously.
She knew Linda liked Gabriel. Any intelligent woman could have guessed Linda’s true intentions by now and would have chased away the woman who wanted to seduce her husband.
However, Linda had helped her before. Moreover, Gabriel was not around. Even if she had any goals, she would not be able to achieve them. Hence, Serenity turned her body sideways and allowed her to enter the house.
Linda sized up the living room. The decorations were luxurious and extravagant. If it wasn’t for Serenity, Linda might have been the mistress of this place.
At the thought of this, the resentment in her heart surged even more and her eyes were filled with unconcealable jealousy.
Her back was facing Serenity, so the latter did not see her twisted face due to jealousy.
“Mrs. Winstead, we have a guest. Make some tea.” Serenity shouted towards the kitchen.
“Alright,” said Mrs. Winstead as she rinsed off the foam on her hands and wiped the water on her apron. She took off her apron and came out of the kitchen. When she saw Linda sitting on the sofa, she politely asked, “What would you like to drink, Miss?”
Everyone else addressed her as Miss Sawyer, but the servants at home addressed her Young Madam. The way Mrs. Winstead addressed her reminded her of the waitresses in the bar.
“A glass of warm water, please,” said she stiffly.
Well, she couldn’t blame Mrs. Winstead. After all, the woman didn’t know her, so how could she know Linda’s surname?
Serenity had initially wanted to make tea for her, but she remembered that Linda’s purpose for coming here was not pure. That was why she called out to Mrs. Winstead. This showed that she was the mistress of this place.
Linda had been thinking about that title, so she didn’t notice any of this.
She had simply come here to confirm if the two of them were truly married. The moment she saw Serenity open the door, she knew that everything was real..
