Chapter 196: His Feelings for Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She could still smell the shower gel from his body, mixed with his natural scent.

She took two steps back to put some distance between them. But the masculine aura on his body was so strong that it reminded her of the time when they were in ‘that’ relationship.

Gabriel looked at her coldly and noticed her cheeks turning slightly red as her eyes darted around. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Are you fantasizing about me?”

“Nonsense.” His playful words made Serenity’s face flush redder, and her ears were no exception.

Gabriel was even more convinced that he had guessed right so, with a faint smile, he said, “There’s no need for that. You’re welcome to pounce on me anytime.”

Serenity was speechless and ran into the kitchen in a panic.

She stood in front of the sink and patted her burning cheeks, but she could not suppress the violent heartbeat in her chest.

Gabriel watched how silly she was acting and his lips started to curve into a smile. The light in his black eyes indicated that he was in a good mood.

Serenity took a deep breath, rubbed her flat stomach, and started cooking.

Gabriel returned to the sofa and crossed his long legs lazily. The sounds from the kitchen made him feel homey.

It reminded him of when he was in university and how he would often fantasize about seeing his beloved woman cooking for him after waiting for him to come home after work every day.

But the woman he had fantasized about at that time was now with someone else so he never had such thoughts again.

Yet, today, Serenity in the kitchen rekindled his memories and emotions.

Since there would be three dining, Serenity made four simple dishes and a soup. As she served the dishes, Gabriel went into the kitchen to get the bowls, plates, and utensils.

But Serenity noticed that he had only brought out two sets. “What about Caleb?”

Gabriel looked at her gently and said, “He went downstairs to eat.”

If she had known earlier, she would have made one less dish to save time. She scooped a bowl of rice and passed it to Gabriel before scooping a bowl for herself. She pulled out a chair, sat down, and the two of them began to have lunch.

Gabriel’s upbringing was excellent so he ate slowly and elegantly. Before feasting, he made sure to roll up his sleeves, making him look even more casual.

He occasionally looked up at Serenity who was eating quietly. “Who did you learn your cooking skills from?”

Serenity was tasting the soup when he asked. “Recipes.”

“You learned it in California?” asked Gabriel again.

For some reason, Gabriel could not help but wonder about the years she was alone in California. She must have felt terrible and helpless when she was exiled abroad by her relatives.

“Yes,” Serenity admitted frankly.

“Those three years must have been a hard time for you, right?” His warm black eyes stared at her without blinking. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. It was not sympathy, but something that hurt him a little more painfully.

Love?

Gabriel felt a slight jolt as if he had just had a nightmare and started to break out in cold sweat. Was he crazy?

Other than that woman, he had never had any feelings for any others, not even feeling the most humble sympathy toward them.

And yet, he did not deny that he had special feelings towards Serenity which puzzled him even more..
