There was no need for him to deliberately curry favor. Moreover, this kind of thing did not suit his status so it would have been weirder for him to behave like any other man.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

However, Helena Turner was still having a hard time accepting reality. So she thought it would be best to let Gabriel know. With a frown, she said, “My mother disagrees with our marriage, especially since we did not tell her. So if she says anything later, just tolerate it.”

Gabriel was amused by her words. His dark eyes were sparkling as they focused on her. He gently reached out to pinch her pretty face. “I know what to do.”

She thought of another very serious matter and said, “I didn’t tell them about my pregnancy.”

Gabriel hummed an acknowledgment and said, “Leave the rest to me. You just need to be the young madam of the Jones family in peace.”

When they arrived at the Rivers residence, the two alighted from the car. Gabriel walked to the back of the car and opened the boot to take out a few exquisitely wrapped expensive gifts from inside.

Serenity looked at him in surprise, then at the things in his hands. She was astonished to find that he had come prepared. Gabriel glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. “Do you want me to stand here all night?”

She smiled sheepishly and took the thing from his hand. “I'll help you.”

Gabriel avoided her. “If your parents see this, they'll think that I’m bullying you.”

But she had good intentions.

Benjamin had rejected all social events today, eagerly waiting in the living room. When he saw Serenity walking in with Gabriel, he knew that she was not lying last night. “President Jones, why did you go through so much trouble to bring this many things?”

Mrs. Walter stepped forward to take the things from Gabriel’s hands and placed them aside. “This is the least | should do,” said Gabriel rather indifferently. “President Jones, there’s something | want to ask you about work. Shall we talk in the study?” asked Benjamin.

Gabriel obliged and the two men headed to Benjamin's study. Meanwhile, Serenity accompanied Helena in the living room to watch television. Serenity stared at the television absentmindedly as her mind was preoccupied, wondering what the men were discussing in the study.

After half an hour, Gabriel and Benjamin Rivers came downstairs together. Gabriel looked like his usual self — cold, stern, and indifferent. Benjamin, on the other hand, could not hide the happiness he was feeling.

Gabriel sat beside Serenity. She turned to him with a look that was curious to know what they had talked about. He smiled and squeezed her hand.

Benjamin and Helena were still present and the intimacy between Gabriel and Serenity did not escape their eyes. Gabriel ‘stouch made Serenity blush and the latter subconsciously stiffened. She stole a glance at her parents and thought Benjamin and Helena did not notice their small actions, so she quickly retracted her hand and glared at him.

Her eyes were black and clear, like clear spirit stones with beautiful spiritual energy.

She probably didn’t even know that when she glared at people, she looked like she was pouting rather seductively. Her pretty appearance made it easy to seduce just about any man.

The four now sat at the dining table. Gabriel placed a small bowl of chicken soup in front of Serenity. With a low and gentle voice, he said, “Pregnant people should drink more chicken soup. It’s good for the body.”

Helena looked at Serenity in shock, but Benjamin Rivers was not surprised at all. It was as if he already knew. Serenity finally realized that Gabriel must have mentioned this to Benjamin during their long conversation in the study. She met Helena Turner’s questioning eyes and calmly said, “It's been more than a month.”

Helena Turner who had hardly uttered a word the entire time, suddenly put down her cutlery and said, “President Jones, you and Serene have already registered your marriage and are expecting a child.. When will the wedding be held?”
