Calvin knew what she meant and his smile reached his eyes as he calmly changed the topic. “So do you want to be moved to tears and then devote yourself to me?”
By then, the valet had driven the car over. Calvin took the car keys and was about to take Serenity for a ride when his phone rang.
“Isn’t it just a lousy birthday? What’s the point of celebrating it every year? I’m busy. I’ll come if I’m free later.”
Serenity overheard his conversation and urged him to go. “If you have something to do, you can leave first.”
But despite his reputation, Calvin had always been a gentleman. “That won’t do. I’ll send you home first and then go over.”
BoxNovel.comAnd yet, his phone kept ringing as the rest of the party continued pestering him. Calvin was so annoyed that he wanted to smash his phone but Serenity stopped him. “I’ll take a taxi back myself.”
This worried Calvin a little, but in the end, he followed her words and left but not before reminding her to call her if anything happened. They were now a couple in name, so she should not be afraid to trouble him.
The moment Calvin was out of sight, Serenity still did not hail a taxi. Instead, she walked along the roadside under the streetlights and through the bustling city. It was an especially beautiful night.
After Serenity and Calvin left, the Rivers and Fulton families parted on bad terms. The Rivers and Grant families did not live in the same area so they left on separate ways too.
Selena was seated in the front passenger seat as she called home (the Grant residence). The servant who picked up informed that Eva Grant had been very obedient and did not make a fuss. She was already asleep, so Selena felt a little more relieved.
After hanging up the phone, she realized the car was slowing to a stop by the roadside. John took out a cigarette from the glove compartment and lit one.
Selena found it strange, especially when his eyes seemed quite focused on something outside the window. She followed his line of sight and saw Serenity walking alone. Didn’t Calvin whisk her away?
Serenity’s skirt swayed in the night breeze as she walked, making her slender back look particularly lonely and depressed that night.
Selena’s eyes looked back at the man next to her and saw the suppressed longing and pain in his eyes as he tried to pretend as if nothing had ever happened. She looked away and said, “I’ll take a taxi back. Send her home safely.”
And a taxi arrived just in time so Selena quickly waved for it. The taxi stopped in front of her. She opened the door and got in.
John continued watching the figure walking down the street, getting further away from him. He was in no hurry to finish his cigarette, but when he was done, he stepped on the accelerator and followed Serenity. He slowed down when he was closer and followed behind her at a moderate speed.
Although Serenity was wearing a coat, her legs were exposed and felt a little cold. After a while, she didn’t want to walk anymore and stood by the roadside to wait for a taxi.
John parked the car under a tree with a shadow just large enough to hide under. He was relieved when he saw her hail a taxi and get in.
When Sereneity returned home, it was just past eleven o’clock. Benjamin Rivers was still awake and had been waiting for her to return. She changed her shoes at the entrance and looked up to see a person sitting on the sofa steadily. She was surprised for a moment.
Benjamin was wearing his robe as he stood up. “Is it true between you and that kid from the Gilbert family?”
“Yes.” She answered very straightforwardly so that no one would suspect her.
“How long have you been together?” Benjamin continued to question her.
“One month.” Any longer and he would have been suspicious about the lack of signs about their relationship..
