Chapter 269: Give Birth to the Child
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity walked out of the hospital with Caleb, feeling uneasy. When she saw the black Maybach parked by the roadside, her heart started to beat wildly.
Even though she couldn’t see inside, she could feel the man in the car staring at her with a pair of dark eyes.
Caleb opened the back door for her. She took a deep breath and bent down to get in.
Gabriel saw her unflinching expression and frowned in displeasure.
Sensing the tense atmosphere in the car, Serenity tightened her grip on her bag. Without waiting for him to question her, she spoke first. “I forgot to take my medicine at South Bay, but I’ve already made an appointment for surgery today, so you don’t have to-”
“Keep the baby.” A low and warm voice rang out in the car, interrupting her.
Serenity looked at him in shock. For a moment, she thought that she had either heard wrongly or misheard him. “What?” asked Serenity, still in shock.
Gabriel repeated what he said earlier. “Keep the child.”
The impact was too great for her to react in time. After a moment of shock, she moved her lips. “Why?”
Gabriel replied matter-of-factly. “No matter what, it’s still a little life. Furthermore, it’s my child. Do 1 need a reason to keep the baby?”
His answer made Serenity’s heart turn cold. She was so angry that she laughed. “I’m not married. 1 can’t give birth to someone else’s child. If President Jones wants children, there are plenty of women in Andalas City who are willing to give birth to them for you. You should go look for them.”
She reached out to open the car door but Gabriel grabbed her wrist. Serenity turned around and glared at him only to find that his deep eyes were unusually calm. “1 guess I didn’t make myself clear just now…”
Serenity struggled to no avail so she just had to wait for him to continue.
He looked at her with a burning gaze and calmly yet firmly said, “Let’s get married.”
Serenity was stunned speechless. She had thought that Gabriel would be furious after finding out that she was pregnant, thinking that she was a scheming woman and would force her to have an abortion. Never would she have thought he would take responsibility for her and marry her.
‘Let’s get married…’
This short sentence froze her like a curse. Even time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Caleb had been standing outside the car so right now, it was just Serenity and Gabriel in there. Everything was starting to seem increasingly unreal.
As she stared at him, Gabriel said, “We’ll get married and have the child.”
She looked at him in disbelief and gradually calmed down. She recalled what he had just said and calmly said, “If you want to marry me because of the child, I’m sorry. I won’t accept this loveless marriage.”
Gabriel started to reach for his cigarette box without realizing it. But he managed to catch himself in time and stopped. He looked at her with an especially serious gaze. “I need a wife. You meet my requirements.”
She recovered from her shock and remembered his relationship with Jocelyn White. She said, “President Jones has too many female friends. I don’t want to face divorce soon after we get married.”
Gabriel remained surprisingly calm that Serenity almost shuddered. He looked at her with a deep gaze and indifferently said, “I lost contact with those women after the relationships ended, and 1 didn’t have any other women after you.” “Impossible!” Serenity subconsciously retorted. When she saw his suspicious gaze, she pursed her lips and said, “You and Jocelyn White-”
“She’s my university junior.” He interrupted her. His calm expression did not show a trace of impatience, nor did he show any annoyance at her suspicion. He was truly indifferent to the whole situation.
So she was a university junior.
If that was the case, then it made sense..
