Chapter 340: Returning to the Rivers Residence Alone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Serenity and Wendy returned to the bookshop after their meal. Tourists were coming in and out of the shop one after another so Wendy could not accompany her. Serenity decided to take a walk around the resort.

There was a small hill on the west side of the resort and under the hill was an artificial lake.

She sat by it and admired the scenery. She took a few photos and posted them on her social media moments. In less than two minutes, some people liked them.

Sam Kiln left a comment:

[I’m still struggling, but you still have the time to go on a vacation. God is too unfair. It limits my pursuit of my dreams.]

Sam had once told her that his dream was to be a photographer. He looked forward to an endless journey, passing through every city in the country, taking pictures of every scenery, and becoming the world’s top photographer.

When he said this, he even winked at her like a hooligan, thinking that it would be best if he had a romantic encounter on the road, so that he could kill two birds with one stone.

She replied to his comment:

[“I’m on leave due to my injury.]

In less than a minute, Sam sent her a message:

[Self-harm?]

When she saw the two words he sent, she was both angry and amused. This guy was not serious at all.

Time passed quickly and before she knew it, it was already four in the afternoon. She returned to the bookshop to say goodbye to Wendy Jones before leaving the resort.

When she returned to the city center at 530 p.m., she wanted to call Gabriel and ask him if he had gotten off work. She wanted them to have dinner together or go home together.

After taking out her phone, she thought of the unhappiness between the two of them recently. Just as she was hesitating whether to call him, her phone rang. It was the landline of the Rivers family’s main residence.

She picked up the phone and Mrs. Walter’s voice came through the phone. “Miss Serenity, Old Master has returned from Oakland. He wants you to come home alone.”

Old Master Samson did not come back from Oakland to see her and Gabriel, but to ask her to return to the Rivers residence alone. She could roughly guess what was going on.

Home…

This word was too distant for her.

It was so far away that she could not feel that touch of warmth no matter how hard she chased after it.

Even when she revealed the proposal for Haverford Corporation’s land bid to Benjamin Rivers, she did not receive any fatherly love from him.

She closed her eyes as a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips and a dreamy desolation clouded her eyes.

It took half an hour to get to the Rivers residence from the city center. When she entered the living room, Mrs. Walter greeted her and took her windbreaker and bag.

Helena glanced behind her. Seeing that she did come back alone, she felt even more uneasy. “Where’s Gabriel?”

Serenity knew what she was worried about. Since she had specifically asked her to come back alone, she would naturally face it alone.

“He has a social engagement tonight.”

Helena looked worried. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Your grandfather is in the study. He wants you to go up when you arrive.”

Serenity nodded. “I’ll be heading up now then, Mom.”

“No matter what your grandfather says, don’t refute him. Just listen obediently,” said Helena worriedly.

Serenity pursed her lips and nodded before she went upstairs.

When she arrived outside the study, her chest felt a little anxious and her back was tense.

She had already thought about what she would face if she pushed open this door.

She took a deep breath and finally pushed open the door to the study.

However, before he could take a step, she heard something fall under her feet.

She lowered her eyes and saw that it was a high-quality blue and white porcelain vase. It was said to be an antique from the 18th century.

It was a gift Benjamin had bought at a high price at an auction for Old Master Samson’s 80th birthday..
