A hint of anger could be heard in his cold and rough voice. He even sounded a little impatient.
She was too inexperienced. If not for the fact that he’d seen the information about her before, he would also have suspected that she was underage.
Serenity mustered up her courage and mumbled, “…I am afraid of pain.”
Gabriel slightly furrowed his eyebrows and replied in a faint voice, “It won’t hurt.”
Although she doubted Gabriel, she still tried to kiss him and accept him.
After they were done, she dragged her tired body to the bathroom. After she came out, she saw Gabriel on the phone with a towel wrapped around him. His back was facing her, and thus, she could see his muscular and perfect body line.
Looking at the messy bedsheets, she was reminded of the scene earlier and could not help but blush.
She took a look at the time and realized that it was already ten in the evening. If she went back any later, Master Samson would definitely be angry at her and give her a scolding.
Although she was already used to it, she did not want to implicate her mother.
Every time she made a mistake, Master Samson would always pick on Helena and scold her for not giving birth to a son instead.
He would always scold her in front of Serenity, and the disdain in his voice could be heard clearly.
Helena was very meek, and no matter how much Master Samson scolded her, she would not refute him at all. However, she had seen her crying while hiding in her room before.
Hence, in order to not create trouble for her mother, she always lived as if on thin ice among the Shens.
In many moments, she was no different from a maid. She was always very careful and afraid of making mistakes.
She waited for a moment and wanted to bid him goodbye before leaving, but he was on the phone for too long and it did not seem like he was going to end it any time soon.
She contemplated for a while before taking her bag that was on the sofa and leaving without a sound.
After she came out of the hotel and took a look from afar, she saw Mr. Geoffrey’s car still waiting outside of the mall.
She put on an act and went into the shopping mall through the backdoor before casually buying a few things and walking out of the mall. She opened the car door and went into the car.
Mr. Geoffrey was leaning against his seat while dozing off. He heard the car door closing and rubbed his eyes. “Miss Serenity, are we going back now?”
Serenity threw the shopping bags to the backseat. “Yes, we are going back now.”
After she went back home, there was a lamp left turned on in the living room and she stopped in her tracks.
10:30 pm was not considered late, but she really hoped that it was the maids who left the lights on and that Master Samson and Benjamin were not waiting for her inside the house.
She carried her shopping bags to the living room. Helena was using her hand to support her head on the sofa while dozing off. There was also a thin blanket covering her legs.
Master Samson and Benjamin were not around. They were probably already asleep while Helena was waiting for her to come home.
She half-squatted in front of the sofa and quietly looked at Helena’s sleeping face. Serenity suddenly felt as if there was a lump in her throat. In this family, the only person who really cared for her was probably just her mother.
She gently greeted, “Mom.”
Helena opened her eyes, and Serenity could see the fatigue and drowsiness in them. She covered her mouth and yawned. “You’re back? Quickly go back to your room and rest.”
She replied with a “Yes” in a heavy nasal voice. “Next time, if I were to come back late, you don’t have to wait for me. I am not a kid anymore.”
Helena said, “Andalas changed a lot these past few years, and you have just come back from overseas so I got a little worried about you.”
Serenity’s nose turned sour. “I will walk you to your room.”
Helena nodded.
Serenity supported her to the second level and walked her to her room. She waited until the light in the room was turned off before returning back to her
room..
