Chapter 308 - 308: Isn’t President Jones Hiding a Mistress in His Golden House?
Of course, before she came, Linda had also asked around and found out that Gabriel had a social gathering tonight. Otherwise, she would not have dared to come here rashly.
Previously, she had used Serenity’s phone to send a text message to deceive Gabriel, making him wait for so long. She thought that he would be angry.
With his noble personality, he would have never talked to Serenity again.
And yet, the two got married quietly in the end.
Linda sat on the sofa with a glass of water in her hand. “We’re friends. Why didn’t you tell me that you’re getting married to President Jones?”
Serenity sat on the armrest of the sofa and sent a text message to Gabriel. She asked him when he would be back and reminded him to drink less.
“It happened a few days ago,” said Serenity. “I’ll definitely include you in the wedding invitation,” said she after a pause.
“When are you guys going to hold your wedding?” asked Linda, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.
“We’re still discussing it,” said Serenity vaguely.
The two fell into silence again. Linda was holding a cup of water, deep in thought. Serenity was holding her phone, waiting for Gabriel’s text while watching television.
Linda saw that it was about time and got up to leave, lest Gabriel came back and saw her, which would probably disgust him.
As the dinner was coming to an end, the phone in Gabriel’s pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Serenity.
He unlocked his phone and opened the text message.
[When will it end? Drink less alcohol, it’s not good for your stomach.]
He smiled and glanced at the few people who were still drinking in the private room. He lowered his head and replied to her message.
[Soon. 1 didn’t drink much.]
After sending the message, he locked the screen and caressed the back cover of his phone casually. Two minutes later, his phone vibrated briefly again. It was another message from her.
[Don’t lie to me. If you’re drunk, you’re sleeping in the guest room tonight.]
He laughed silently. She dared to let him sleep in the guest room.
The person in charge of the business discussion that night was sitting beside him. When he saw Gabriel reading the message and even laughing, he could not help but tease him. “President Jones is here, but his heart seems to be elsewhere.”
Gabriel put away his phone and picked up the glass of wine beside him. He glanced at everyone in the room. “I’ll toast everyone with this glass of wine. You guys can continue with the next event. 1 still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
It was rare for Gabriel to initiate a toast so of course, these people had to give him face. One of them laughed. “President Jones, you’re not hiding a mistress in your golden house anymore, so why are you in a hurry to go back?”
Gabriel smiled without saying a word. He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and said, “Excuse me.” Then, he took his coat from the back of the chair and left the room.
On the way back, they passed by a jewelry store. Gabriel shouted for Caleb to stop the car. Caleb obeyed and parked the car by the roadside, looking at Gabriel in confusion through the rearview mirror.
Gabriel opened the car door and got out of the car to head straight into the jewelry store. It was around nine o’clock in the evening and the jewelry store was still open. The interior was magnificently decorated with a crystal light that made the place look even brighter.
“Sir, are you buying a gift for your girlfriend?” The shop assistant smiled when she saw his expensive outfit.
Gabriel did not utter a word as he stood in front of the counter and scanned the exquisite rings one by one. Finally, he took a fancy to a pair of wedding rings.
He pointed at the pair of rings and said to the shop assistant, “1 want this pair.”
The shop assistant immediately beamed. “Sir, you have good taste. Your girlfriend will definitely like it.”
Gabriel passed the card to her who swiftly swiped it and wrapped the ring before handing it to him. He took it and glanced at the shop assistant. “She’s my wife.”
The shop assistant was stunned for a moment and did not react. By the time she did, Gabriel had already walked out, his tall figure blending into the night..
