Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the two went upstairs, Mrs. Winstead hung Gabriel’s suit jacket on the coat rack at the entrance. Once she had given it a proper thought, she felt that she should call the main residence to inform Old Master and Madam.
Mrs. Winstead could tell from the few times Young Master had brought Ms. Serenity back that he treated her differently from other women. But it was still shocking for him to bring her back as the young madam.
She walked to the sofa and dialed the phone number of the main residence.
But before someone could pick up from the other end of the line, a deep and powerful voice entered her ears. “Mrs. Winstead.”
Mrs. Winstead put the phone back in a panic. Then she whipped around to find Gabriel looking at her disdainfully from the stairs. She guiltily said, “Young Master.”
Gabriel was wearing a black shirt, and with the lights in the corridor shining on him, he looked charmingly imposing. He had one hand in his pocket as he walked down the stairs elegantly like a noble.
He looked at Mrs. Winstead with a heavy gaze. “Although you’re from the main residence, if 1 want you to leave, I need only utter one word.”
“Young Master, I just think… that you should at least tell Old Master and Madam about such a big matter. There was no other intention behind my actions,” said Mrs. Winstead submissively.
Gabriel looked at her coldly. “You just need to do your job well. 1’11 find time to bring her back to the main residence.”
Mrs. Winstead fell silent.
Gabriel entered the kitchen and Mrs. Winstead followed him in. “Young Master, did you not eat? Do you want me to-”
“No need.” Gabriel interrupted her as he took a cup and poured in milk before carrying it upstairs.
He placed the milk on the table. “After drinking the milk, go take a shower. You can use my toiletries first. We can buy whatever you need after work tomorrow.”
Serenity was almost done sorting out her things when he entered. She placed her suitcase into the cabinet and took the milk beside her to drink.
Gabriel went into the bathroom to fill the bathtub with hot water. When he came out of the bathroom, she had just finished her milk. She took her pajamas from the closet and went into the bathroom.
Gabriel went to the study room and dealt with a few emails. When he returned to the bedroom, Serenity was already drying her hair. Her hair was combed to the side, revealing her fair neck. Her black hair was warm and lustrous. Under the light, it looked as if it was dyed with a layer of ink, looking black and shiny.
The light in the room gently illuminated her small, fair, and flawless face, giving her the gentle temperament of a daughter from a small family. She looked clean and pure.
She was wearing a nightgown with wide shoulder straps made of silky and smooth. The hem reached her thighs, revealing the rest of her fair and slender legs. He did not know if it was because his vision was too good or the nightgown was too thin, but he could tell that she was not wearing a bra.
The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. “Are you seducing me?”
Although Serenity’s back was facing him, she knew he had entered the room. When she heard him say this out of the blue, she was stunned for a moment before she understood. “I never wear my inner clothes when I sleep.”
Other than Mrs. Walter, no one else in the Rivers residence would casually enter her room. Moreover, Mrs. Walter would knock on her door whenever she needed something.
Gabriel walked over to close the window and drew the curtains. He frowned when he saw that she was barefooted. He took a pair of slippers and placed them at her feet. “Why are you still barefoot? What if you catch a cold?”
He had been browsing the Internet these past few days for information on how to care for a pregnant woman. One of them was that pregnant women had weakened immune systems and could not take medicine when they were sick.
It was so cold at night. She was already dressed so thinly, but she was barefoot too?
If she was sick and couldn’t take medicine, how was she supposed to get better? With a body so thin, how could he not worry about her?
The night wind was a little cold and the window was open just now. She was only wearing a thin nightgown and a large part of her skin was exposed. He touched her shoulder and could tell that her body was a little cold. “Hurry up and lie down on the bed..”
