“It’s fine.” Serenity picked up her handbag. “You don’t have to prepare lunch for me. I’ll eat outside.”
Serenity drove to Camdell Resort. As it was a Thursday, there weren’t many people at the resort.
She went straight to the wooden bookstore. There was a tourist who had picked out a book and was paying at the counter. Wendy Jones was giving him change.
Seeing that she was busy, Serenity did not disturb her. She took out a book from the bookshelf and casually flipped through it. After the visitors left, she placed the book back on the bookshelf and walked to the counter. “Mrs. Hoffman.”
“What brings you here today?” Wendy looked at Serenity in surprise. “You don’t have to go to work?”
Serenity put her hands in her windbreaker pockets and calmly said, “I came here to seek some peace.”
She walked to the rattan chair outside and sat down. Wendy Jones walked out from behind the counter and made her a cup of coffee. She sat down opposite her and saw that Serenity was silent for a long time. “Are you still worried about your in-laws not accepting you?”
Serenity leaned back on the rattan chair. She crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and her gaze fell on the iron chain in front of her. “Sort of.”
“What else?” Wendy was surprised.
“It’s about my relationship with my husband,” said she frankly.
“Are you not on good terms?” asked Wendy, intrigued.
The two had just gotten married, so it shouldn’t be.
The corners of Serenity’s lips were still slightly curved. However, her tone sounded a little disappointed. “He probably married me because of the child.” “Why don’t you try cheating on him?” Wendy was skeptical of her words. “Let’s see if he still cares about you.”
Serenity imagined Gabriel’s first reaction if he found out that she had cheated on him. She could not help but shudder when she thought of his sharp and malicious gaze. Even imagining it was terrifying, let alone taking action.
She sat upright. “He would use a tone that would make him want to strangle me to death. ‘Serenity, you’re really something. You’re the first one who dared to make me a cuckold! Do you think life is too boring?’”
Wendy didn’t comment. It was indeed like Gabriel to say such words. As expected of his wife, even her tone was so similar, almost exactly the same.
“What does Mr. Hoffman do?” Shen Serene was very curious. She had known Wendy Jones for so long, but she had never heard of her husband.
“He’s already passed away,” said Wendy with a dejected look.
“I’m sorry.” Serenity had an apologetic look on her face when she mentioned someone else’s sad matter.
Wendy quickly adjusted her emotions and put on a gentle smile again. “It’s nothing. It’s been ten years.”
Serenity was shocked. Mr. Hoffman had already been dead for ten years, which would mean that Wendy would have hardly been thirty years old yet. She was widowed at such a young age!
Serenity truly admired this kind of love that could not even surpass life and death.
“Don’t look at me with such admiration.” Wendy looked at her from the corner of her eyes and slowly said, “Actually, if I don’t look at his photo every day, I won’t even remember what he looks like.”
Was she that obvious?
Serenity touched her cheeks and awkwardly said, “Your story must be very beautiful.”
Wendy smiled and did not continue. Seeing that Serenity was eagerly staring at her to know more, Wendy did not know whether to laugh or cry. “You should be worried about how to settle your in-laws now, not curious about other people’s stories.”
“It’s useless to worry about nothing,” said she with a helpless sigh..
