Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a restaurant near Zephyr Group, Serenity was afraid of being discovered by someone she knew, so she sat in a corner.
After a few minutes, a casual voice with uncertainty asked, “Miss Serenity?”
She looked up and saw a man in his thirties standing opposite her. Although his facial features were not outstanding, he was strong and his skin was dark.
He was wearing a blue T-shirt and a pair of camouflage pants. His muscles were strong and well-defined, and his chest muscles were slightly bulging under the T-shirt.
The person looked somewhat similar to Helena Turner’s description. “You are… Mr. Smith?”
“Yes.” The man pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. He crossed his arms and leaned against the back of the chair, his hawk-like eyes sizing her up.
The man sitting opposite her was the marriage partner Benjamin Rivers had chosen for her. He was just thirty years old this year and was from a rich family. He came from generations of soldiers. His grandfather was a commander during the warlord era, his grandmother was a clerk, his father was a regiment commander, and he was a special forces soldier.
His gaze carried the sharpness that a soldier should have and Serenity felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She raised her hand to brush the stray strands of hair behind her ear.
He must have sensed her awkwardness because Jacob Smith retracted his gaze. “Let’s order.”
Serenity called the waiter over who handed them a menu each. Jacob lit a cigarette and started smoking without even accepting the menu.
The waiter started to feel awkward as he retracted the menu and hugged it back into his arms.
Serenity casually ordered a few dishes, then held her teacup to size up the man opposite her without batting an eyelid.
The hand he used to pick up the cigarette was not as slender and smooth as Gabriel’s or John’s. Instead, it was a little rough. There was a pale white scar on the back of his hand, and it looked like it had been there for some time.
The staff greeted newly-arrived guests at the door – a handsome and calm man with a bright and beautiful woman. She wore glasses that covered most of her face and held a Chanel bag in her hand.
Serenity raised her head inadvertently and was stunned for a moment. That couple was Gabriel and Jocelyn White.
The first thought that popped into her mind was: Jocelyn White was Gabriel’s current lover?
While she was in shock, Jacob Smith turned around suspiciously. Almost in the next second, she heard the sound of a chair rubbing against the ground and watched him take large strides toward the two of them.
Jacob knew both of them? Or one of them?
Serenity quickly denied her thoughts. Looking at his posture, he looked like he was going to fight. He did not look like he was going to greet them.
Gabriel looked at the mighty man who was walking towards them and instantly sensed his hostility. He stopped in his tracks and looked at the man walking over with his deep eyes.
Jacob quickly walked towards them and grabbed the woman beside Gabriel. Jocelyn White looked at him in panic and felt guilty. She then smiled and said, “Jacob, why are you here?”
Jacob’s face darkened as he said in an extremely cold tone, “If I wasn’t here, how could I have seen you with another man?”
His voice attracted the curious gazes of the crowd. Jocelyn White was a celebrity and was afraid of being recognized. She looked around and saw a woman sitting in the seat where Jacob had just come from. She smiled sarcastically and said, “You’re with another woman too.”
Gabriel followed her line of sight and saw Serenity holding a teacup in the corner. She was still wearing a work shirt and her coat was placed on the back of the chair. Although she was drinking tea, she was glancing over..
