Chapter 324: She Hasn’t Come BackTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Gabriel returned home, the lights in the living room were still on. Mrs. Winstead went forward to take the clothes that hehad taken off. “Where is she?” asked he.

“Didn't Young Madam come back with you?” Mrs. Winstead was puzzled.

Gabriel frowned and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost eleven o’clock and the sky was covered with dark clouds asrain poured.

As he pulled his tie off, he took out his phone. There were no missed calls. He scrolled to Serenity’s number and called her. Themechanical female voice on the other end said that her phone was turned off.

For some reason, he felt a surge of frustration in his heart. He pulled off his tie and threw it on the sofa at the side. He called heragain and again.

Mrs. Winstead looked at the heavy rain outside and was very worried. “Where could she have gone? Why didn’t she call back toinform us?”

Since he couldn't get through to Serenity, Gabriel threw his phone on the coffee table and took out a cigarette from his pocket tolight it.

It was raining outside and the only sound in the empty living room was the ticking of the clock on the wall.Mrs. Winstead kept looking out of the living room anxiously.

Gabriel smoked half a pack of cigarettes in a row, his eyes fixed on the clock the entire time. It was already 11:30 p.m. andSerenity was still not back.

He put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, picked up the car keys on the table, and walked out of the living room. When he passedMrs. Winstead, he said,” Stay by the phone. Call me immediately if she comes back.”

Mrs. Winstead stopped him. “Young Master, you don’t know where Young Madam is. Where will you replace her?”

Gabriel took his coat and put it on. He did not say anything but knew that he could look for her anywhere. It was better than justsitting here and waiting foolishly.

Seeing that he was determined to go out and look for her, Mrs. Winstead took out an umbrella from the cabinet at the entranceand handed it to him.

After leaving the living room, Gabriel opened his black umbrella. He had just taken a step when he saw a thin figure walking overin the rain.

She was drenched, her clothes and hair sticking to her body tightly. One of her shoes was missing, and the rain flowed down herhead. She looked like a stray dog.

Seeing the man standing on the steps, Serenity stared at him. The rain was so heavy that she could not open her eyes. Hervision was so blurry that she could not see the man’s outline clearly.

The two of them were a few meters away from each other. They looked at each other for a few seconds. The man strode downthe steps and quickly approached her. He held the umbrella over her head and frowned at her. “Where did you go?”

Serenity looked at him silently. When she heard his slightly heavy tone, her eyes became warm and the mist in her eyes roseagain.

Gabriel saw that she did not speak for a long time, so he held her shoulders and walked her towards the living room. He did notcare that hugging her like this would wet his clothes.Mrs. Winstead was using the landline to call Serenity when she heard a voice coming from the entrance. She turned around and

saw that it was Gabriel and Serenity.

She quickly put down the phone and walked over. When she saw Serenity, who was drenched from head to toe, she wasshocked. “Young Madam, why are you drenched like this?”

Serenity tried her best to smile, but she still could not squeeze one out.Gabriel took a dry towel and wiped the water droplets off her face and hair. “Go get some hot water,” said he to Mrs. Winstead.“I'll go now.” Mrs. Winstead responded and quickly went up to the second floor.

Serenity’s entire body was wet. She stood there and let Gabriel fuss over her. In just a few minutes, a puddle of water gatheredunder her feet.

It was almost the end of autumn. The night was cold yet she was drenched in the rain. The cold rainwater seeped into her skinand she started to shiver..
