Chapter 277: We’ve Registered Our Marriage
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After work, Gabriel brought Serenity out for dinner. She chose a private restaurant and after dinner, he sent her home, only for her to meet Benjamin Rivers at the doorstep.
Serenity got out of the car and said goodbye to Gabriel who then turned the car around and drove away.
After walking a short distance, Benjamin Rivers’s car appeared, passing Gabriel’s.
Benjamin recognized Gabriel’s car and asked, “The person who just passed was… President Jones?”
The driver was Mr. Charlie. He replied, “It is President Jones. He was in the driver’s seat.”
The Rivers residence was in the suburbs, an old house with no one else living in close proximity. What was President Jones doing here?
Benjamin returned home in confusion. He found Serenity watching television with Helena Turner in the living room. The former was still wearing her work suit. He pondered for a moment and said, “Serene, did President Jones send you back?”
Serenity did not expect such a question from him so she was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Gabriel had already looked for him?
That’s impossible. They had just separated so he shouldn’t have had time to contact Benjamin so soon. Plus, he had agreed to give her time to bring it up with her family first. “Yes,” said she stiffly.
Helena looked at her daughter in surprise and asked what was going on.
Benjamin turned to Serenity and said, “Follow me into the study.”
“Let’s talk here.” Her expression did not change and her gaze was especially calm. “I just happen to have something to tell you too.”
Benjamin and Helena Turner looked at her silently, waiting for Serenity to continue.
Serenity pondered for a moment with pursed lips, then decided to tell them everything. “I registered our marriage.”
This news was like a bolt of lightning that shocked Benjamin Rivers and Helena Turner. The two couldn’t believe what they just heard as they stared at her with wide eyes.
Benjamin was the first to react, coughing to cover up his loss of composure. “When did this happen?”
She could understand her parents’ horrified expressions. After all, not just anyone could marry Gabriel. “Two days ago.”
Helena Turner was the most unsettled among them. She scolded Serenity. “Child, how could you not discuss such a big matter with your family? What kind of person is Gabriel? How could you get a marriage certificate with him without knowing anything?”
Serenity had already expected such a reaction. “Mom, you haven’t interacted with him before, so you don’t know him well. But he’s a very good person.” “Have you met his parents?” asked Helena.
“No.” Serenity shook her head.
She had searched online last night and found that the media articles about the Jones family were very official and superficial.
Besides, Serenity had never asked him about the Jones family either. She only knew that he had a younger brother who was not good at walking whom she had even met before.
Helena had always been kind and gentle to her but today, she pulled a long face. “If he’s a good person, why didn’t he arrange for the parents to meet and discuss the marriage? Instead, he took the marriage certificate without saying a word. Moreover, you’ve already registered your marriage for a few days, but 1 haven’t seen him come to the house to give an explanation.”
“1 was afraid that you would be angry, so I didn’t let him come.” She looked at Helena when she said ‘you’ because she knew only Helena would have reservations while Benjamin would have no qualms about it.
Benjamin was shocked at first. But after digesting this fact, he was indeed very happy. Still, his pride did not allow him to show it. Maintaining his strict and rigid face, he said, “Bring him over for dinner tomorrow..”
