They sat in silence for quite some time. The lights in the parking lot had turned off so the only light available came from theMaybach’s headlights.

Serenity was starting to wonder if they were going to stay in the car like this until dawn.

Gabriel suddenly spoke. “It’s already so late. Do you know how worried Mrs. Winstead is about you?”

Was she the only one worried?

Serenity was tempted to ask but didn’t dare to.

“What are you doing in the parking lot?” asked he again even though he barely left a gap for her to answer him.

When he carried her just now, her entire body was so cold that there was almost no temperature. She must have been waitinghere for a long time. Wasn't she afraid to be alone in this dark place?

“| was waiting for you,” said she smoothly this time.

Gabriel was taken aback and looked at her. Her pitch-black eyes were like obsidian, so dark yet bright that others couldn’t helpbut feel as if they were falling into them.

His eyes narrowed as the brows over them furrowed. “What if | wasn’t at the office today and was away at a social engagementsomewhere? Were you going to still wait here all night?”

“Your car is here,” said she confidently.

“This isn’t the only car | own.” Although his tone was cold, he was glad he didn’t go to the dinner gathering tonight. Otherwise,this silly girl would have probably watched this Maybach the entire night.

Serenity knew Gabriel had more than one car from the number parked at the South Bay garage. And since he usually drove thisMayback, surely there couldn’t be more cars of his parked at the office building, right?

Fortunately, Lady Luck was smiling down at her today. Otherwise, she would have waited for nothing.She moved her legs and was happy that they were no longer numb.

The calm casualness in her tone made Gabriel’s chest feel as though it had been stuffed with cotton. With a slight heaviness inhis tone, he asked, “Why are you waiting for me?”

“You don’t pick up my calls or come home. How else am | supposed to reach you?”Gabriel fell silent and switched the gears to drive out of the parking lot.

The couple sat in silence during the entire journey. When the car stopped at South Bay, Serenity slowly got out of the car withhim.

Mrs. Winstead was still awake. After all, how could she not be when she was worried about Serenity still being out so late? Themoment Mrs. Winstead heard the car engine approaching, she immediately walked out of the living room and heaved a sigh ofrelief at the sight of Serenity returning with Gabriel. “Young Master, Young Madam.”

Gabriel walked past her without uttering a single word and Serenity followed after him but not before stopping in front of Mrs.Winstead and apologetically saying, “Mrs. Winstead, I’m sorry for making you worry.”

“As long as Young Madam is fine,” said Mrs. Winstead with a relieved smile.

When they entered the living room, the clock on the wall chimed. Gabriel sat on the sofa and said, “Make a bowl of supper.”

“Will noodles be okay?” asked Mrs. Winstead.

Gabriel did not reply and looked at Serenity instead. Serenity knew from his look that he was asking Mrs. Winstead to makesupper for her.

“Put more vegetables in,” said she with pursed lips.

Mrs. Winstead received the instructions and left for the kitchen. She whipped up a bowl of noodles and served them on thedining table. Serenity walked over and picked up her cutlery to start eating.

Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Mrs. Winstead returned to her room and left the two of them alone.Since she hadn't eaten since 4 p.m., Serenity was so hungry that she finished the entire bowl of noodles in no time.

She took a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth as she looked at the man on the sofa who was looking tired. Serenity gotup to approach him.

Gabriel was holding his forehead with one hand as he kept his eyes closed. He felt something tugging at his sleeve and openedhis eyes to see her pretty face and bright black eyes. He pinched her fair tender fingers on his sleeve. “Since you're done eating,go back to your room and sleep..”
