Chapter 164: Farewell of Love
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
People who didn’t know would probably think that the husband had caught his wife cheating and was now interrogating her about her heartless betrayal.
However, in truth, who betrayed whom?
“Brother-in-law, why don’t you go home to accompany your wife and daughter after work? Are you here to quarrel with me?” She sneered.
Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open. It was the waiter who came in with the dishes. Seeing that the atmosphere inside was not right, he felt embarrassed and in a dilemma.
John let go of her and sat down. He pressed on his heavy eyebrows with one hand and pursed his thin lips tightly.
Serenity hesitated for a moment before sitting down again.
The waiter finally brought the dishes into the private room and placed them on the table. As he did so, he stole a glance at the two. They looked terrible as if they were fighting an invisible war between them.
After the waiter left the private room, the atmosphere in the private room turned so oppressive that it felt hard to breathe as the two remained silent.
A few minutes of silence later, Serenity picked up her utensils and started eating. Although she was in a bad mood, it did not affect her appetite.
Moreover, it was time for dinner anyway. After this, they would still return to their respective homes. This meal would be their farewell for tonight.
Serenity had decided – she would bury all her past memories with him in her heart and never mention allow them to resurface again.
John took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put a cigarette in his mouth. He held the lighter but did not light it up. His dark eyes seemed to be troubled.
Serenity took a few simple bites and wiped her mouth with a tissue. “I’m full.”
John had not touched his food at all. His mind had been occupied by some thoughts, so when he heard her words, his dark eyes slowly shifted to her. Then, he glanced at the dishes on the table. Seeing that she did not eat much, he frowned slightly.
His lips parted, but he did not say anything. Instead, he picked up his car keys and stood up. He then took his coat from the hanger and wrapped it around his arm. “Let’s go.”
Serenity wanted to say point out that he had not eaten yet, but she also didn’t want to be a busybody. He had a virtuous wife at home, so he probably did not like the food outside anyway.
The two left the private room. The waiter had been on standby the whole time. John glanced at the waiter from the corner of his eye and said, “Put it on my tab.”
“Yes, President Grant,” said the waiter in a low voice.
John sent Serenity back to the Rivers residence. Since it was not convenient for him to send her in, he stopped outside the carved iron gate.
She had just gotten out of the car when Benjamin Rivers’s car stopped beside her. Her heart skipped a beat and she grabbed the bag in her hand tightly.
The car window rolled down and Benjamin Rivers’s stern face appeared in front of her. When she met his deep and sharp eyes, she felt guilty as if she had done something wrong. She subconsciously pursed her lips and looked at him nervously.
Benjamin Rivers glanced at her and then at the man in the driver’s seat. His gaze deepened.
Benjamin Rivers was a shrewd person. Afraid that he would see through her, Serenity casually found an excuse. “I happened to meet Brother-in-Law on my way back from work so he sent me back.”
John turned off the engine and got out of the car. “Dad, did you just get off work?”
“Yes, why don’t you come in and have a seat?” Benjamin Rivers’s expression remained the same.
John smiled lightly.” No, Selena is still waiting for me to go back for dinner.”
As expected, it was fortunate that she had not been overly sentimental earlier. Serenity pursed her lips even tighter.
Benjamin Rivers nodded. “Bring Selena and Eva for a visit when you have time. Your mother talks about Eva every day.”
“Alright,” said John rather indifferently.
After John left, Benjamin Rivers’s dark eyes swept over Serenity but there was no telling what he was thinking.
The driver started the engine and drove the car into the house..
