“How is she?” asked Gabriel rather indifferently.

“She just had her lunch and is still reading a book,” said Mrs. Winstead as she glanced upstairs.

Gabriel replied with an ‘OK’ and hung up without saying anything else.

Mrs. Winstead was a little confused when she heard the immediate dead tone coming from the receiver. She did not know why Gabriel called.

After giving it some thought, she realized that it was her answer and not his question that mattered.

He just wanted to know if Serenity had eaten and what she was up to.

She remembered how Young Master had taken care of Young Madam yesterday when the latter had a fever. It was obvious to her that Young Master cared about Young Madam.

She poured a glass of water and brought it up to the second floor. She knocked on the bedroom door and Serenity’s gentle voice came from inside. “Come in.”

She pushed the door open and walked in. Then, she placed the glass of water beside Serenity’s hand. Seeing that Young Madam had been reading with her head lowered, she said after much hesitation, “Young Madam, it’s lunchtime now. Do you want to call and ask Young Master if he has eaten?”

Serenity closed the book in her hand and took her phone from the bedside table to look at the time. It was six past twelve.

He shouldn’t be busy at this time, right?

Mrs. Winstead saw how Serenity stared at her phone in a daze and said, “Young Master often forgets to eat when he’s busy with work. No one reminded him before. Now that he’s married, Young Madam should pay more attention to him. Otherwise, it’s not good for his stomach in the long run.”

“I’ll call him now.”

With Mrs. Winstead present, she dialed Gabriel’s number but no one picked up. In the end, she hung up.

“No one picked up?” asked Mrs. Winstead as Serenity removed the phone from her ear.

She looked away to hide the disappointment in her eyes. “Maybe he left his phone in the office and had gone out for lunch.”

He was so angry the night before and he was cold and distant this morning. Perhaps he was probably still angry.

But the reality was that Gabriel had left his phone in the office to charge. When he returned from lunch, he saw a missed call from Serenity.

He tapped on it and looked at the time. It was a call from twenty minutes ago. He calmly placed his phone on the table and continued charging it. Then, he turned around and went to the lounge for his afternoon nap.

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Caleb sent the post-project planning plan for the Chandler project to the president’s office. Gabriel had no objections after reading it and signed the approval column.

Caleb retrieved the proposal and said,” President Jones, the Chaundler project is in its final stages. President Barrymore is treating us to dinner tonight. Should we cancel it?”

“There’s no need,” said Gabriel plainly.

Caleb was surprised. Ever since they got married, President Jones rarely attended social events, unless it was very important. Moreover, Young Madam was still sick, so he should be in a hurry to go home.

It was sufficient for the manager in charge of the project to attend tonight’s dinner. Gabriel did not have to go in person.

“Alright.” Since President Jones agreed to go, Caleb naturally obeyed.

After work, Gabriel went to the hotel with the manager in charge of the Chaundler project. President Barrymore was very surprised that Gabriel appeared at the dinner table so he made repeated toasts at the dinner table. After dinner, the group proceeded to Golden Sands.

In the private room, every man had a drinking girl sitting beside him. Only Gabriel’s side was empty. He leaned against the sofa, relaxed, as his right thumb stroked the dial on his left wrist.

He sat there silently, occasionally glancing at his watch. At 10:30 pm, he took out his phone and looked at it. There were no more missed calls or messages on it. His cold lips curled into a self-deprecating smile..
