Chapter 141: Why Marry Selena?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The car stopped outside an elegant and high-end restaurant. Serenity got out of the car and followed Calvin Gilbert in.

But after a while, Calvin Gilbert realized that she was no longer following right behind him. He turned around and saw her limping. Surprised, he asked, “What happened to your leg?”

“I sprained it.” They met at the hospital. Why else would she be there if she wasn’t feeling well?

If she was any other girl, Calvin Gilbert wouldn’t hesitate to carry her like a princess or on his back. But he knew better than to do that with Serenity.

She was an important person to John.

If he even dared to have any ill intentions towards her, John would waste no time severing his brotherhood with Calvin and make the latter’s life miserable.

He slowed down and waited until she was closer to him before supporting her with one hand. Soon, the two stepped into the restaurant and took their seats. Serenity took the menu from the waiter and ordered a few dishes.

Their seats were by the French window so they could observe the sunset that dyed the sky red with layers of orange, bringing about a hazy yet gorgeous beauty.

Serenity supported her chin with one hand and looked out the window at the busy crowd. There was a diversity of facial expressions plastered on the pedestrians’ faces – they looked joyful, sorrowful, happy, depressed, or frustrated. How similar to this complicated world.

Calvin Gilbert followed her line of sight and looked outside too. He was about to ask her what she was looking at when he turned to her, only to be momentarily dazed.

She had a very beautiful side profile. Her fair and small face was flawless while her nose bridge was beautifully shaped. Her long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow over her eyelids. With the orange light shining through the glass onto her body, she looked like she had just stepped into a dreamy haze, not unlike a perfect hand-carved piece of art.

Serenity looked as beautiful as an oil painting that could only be painted by a master.

However, her face seemed to be a little pale. As her eyelashes fluttered under the orange light, Serenity looked as if she could shatter into pieces with even the slightest touch.

Calvin had seen his fair share of beautiful women, but he had never seen a quiet beauty like Serenity who was akin to a gardenia blooming in the morning, pure and beautiful.

Although this woman was not the most beautiful woman he had seen, she was unforgettable after one look. No wonder John tried his best to protect her.

The waiter arrived with the dishes and placed the plates on the table with a slight clatter. Serenity immediately came back to her senses.

As they feasted, Serenity ate the rice in her bowl with relish. She had only eaten a piece of cake for the entire day so her stomach was not feeling very good. This was mainly due to a build-up of symptoms developed from her bad eating habits during her time in California.

She was in great pain, but she had no choice but to force herself to eat. And the hunger helped a little in suppressing the pain. Truth be told, all she knew was that if she did not eat, she would have another cramp.

Calvin watched dumbfoundedly as Serenity ate. “How long has it been since you last ate?”

She took a sip of fruit juice and but her face was still a little pale. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she said, “1 didn’t bring any money so this meal is on you.”

Well, even if she had brought money, Calvin would not let her foot the bill. They might not be very close, but they weren’t complete strangers either. And with John as their mutual relation, it was completely pointless for her to worry about such things.

But Calvin noticed that she wasn’t looking very comfortable during the meal and asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

She shook her head. She had medicine for her gastric in her bag, but that was still in Gabriel’s car.

Calvin’s utensils hadn’t had much of a chance to touch most of the dishes as Serenity finished it all. Then, she asked the waiter for a cup of hot water and drank a few mouthfuls. Much to her disappointment, her stomach was still in pain though it was not as bad as before.

She put the glass down and looked at the person opposite her.. “Why did he marry my sister?”
