Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 212: If You Are Away... Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because of how unpleasantly they ended things last night, Serenity did not make breakfast for Gabriel the next day. She was a person with dignity and pride, so she would not be so free as to look for trouble.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She was about to look for Caleb to go to the construction site with them today when the latter knocked on her door. “Good morning, Caleb,” said she with a smile. “I was just about to look for you.”

Like William, Caleb was a well-mannered person as he gently returned her smile and greeting. “Morning.”

“Are you here to bring me to the construction site with you?” asked she.

It was not easy for Caleb to be able to work under the unpredictable Gabriel for so many years.

“No.” Caleb stared at her for a long while. “Why didn’t you make breakfast for President Jones?”

Serenity’s smile gradually faded into a frown as she said, “The breakfast at the restaurant tastes better than mine.” “President Jones isn’t used to the food in Jonan City?” Caleb was surprised. “I thought you knew that.”

How could she not know? Wasn’t she the one cooking for him these past few days?

Caleb didn’t know what had happened, and though he noticed the strange expression on her face, he still said, “Hurry up and make breakfast for President Jones. He has a meeting with the higher-ups at the branch office after breakfast regarding this project.”

Serenity simply let out an ‘oh’ and went back to her room to get her phone and room card. She then dawdled to Gabriel’s room. She had the key card to his room, so she swiped the door open without knocking.

Gabriel was on the sofa, reading the morning paper. He did not even look up when she walked into the room. She ignored him just as well and went straight into the kitchen.

When her back was facing him, Gabriel’s gaze finally shifted from the morning newspaper to her. The apron she wore around her waist made her look rather calm and refined.

He was in a daze for a moment, feeling as if he was in a blissfully warm situation where the wife was cooking for her husband.

The fastest breakfast to make was instant noodles. Ten minutes later, Serenity served the noodles to Gabriel who had taken his seat at the dining table. He put the newspaper down and looked at what she had made for him.

There were a few green leaves and chopped green onions floating on the noodles. Though the dish was simple, the fragrance easily aroused one’s appetite.

He picked up his fork and took a bite. It tasted pretty good. When Serenity simply sat across from him without a meal, he asked in surprise: “What about you?”

“I'll go downstairs to eat later.” She had only made one serving.

Gabriel paused mid-meal for a moment before he continued in silence. Serenity followed Gabriel out to the hotel entrance and asked, “Do you need me to go with you?” Gabriel faintly said, “No need.”

For the next few days, Serenity continued to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner for him — lunch was packed and delivered to Gabriel at the construction site or branch office by Caleb.

Besides encountering each other when Serenity was making meals, they rarely interacted. After all, every attempt she made to speak with him was returned with coldness or silence. So she gave up.

She just made sure that dinner was ready by the time he was back, but not before she ate her share and left..
