Chapter 356: You’re Still a Member of the Jones Family

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As he spoke, he took out his wallet without bothering to ask how much Serenity had lost. He took out a few pieces of cash and handed them to Madam Barlowe.

Serenity noticed that the bets were at least eight to nine hundred if not a thousand.

Madam Barlowe took the money and counted it, then put it in the betting pile. “We shall place it here first and settle it all after the last round.”

When the servants came to announce that dinner was ready, the game finally ended. Serenity and Madam Eaton lost, the former losing more than the latter. But the bets weren’t that big anyway so Serenity only lost a little more than a thousand. The women did not bet like the men usually would, in the tens or hundreds of thousands in one game. Just thinking about it made one’s heart ache.

The Jones residence’s dining room was very large with an oval dining table. Keith Jones sat at the head with Sulia Silver on his right. Gabriel was the head of the Jones family, so naturally he sat on Keith’s left. Serenity was seated next to Gabriel and the rest sat according to seniority.

Serenity did not know what Gabriel and Keith Jones were talking about but she could tell Keith did not look too good when he entered the dining room. It must have been an unpleasant conversation.

During dinner, everyone ate in a refined and elegant manner. After all, these were people from wealthy families. No one spoke during the meal and only the slight sound of the spoon clinking against the sides of plates could be heard.

After the meal, everyone drank tea and chatted – the men had a tacit understanding not to talk about work.

Gabriel put on his coat and then handed Serenity’s coat to her, indicating for her to put it on.

Serenity looked at the clock on the wall and silently asked if they were leaving already.

Gabriel pointed outside the living room. She nodded knowingly and put on her coat. Sulia Silver said, “Gabriel, it’s still early and an occasion such as today is rare. Why don’t you leave later?”

“It’s Serene’s first time here,” said Gabriel. “I want to take her around the estate to familiarize her with the environment.”

The smile on Sulia’s face faded as she nodded lightly.

Gabriel held Serenity’s hand as they walked out of the living room. When Linda saw the two of them holding hands, a cold glint flashed across her eyes. It was like a black rose growing in the night.

After leaving the living room, the two slowly strolled along the cobblestone path in the west. There was a corridor in the back garden of the main residence. Above their heads were spider plants dotted with red and white flowers. Even the pillars were decorated with spider plants, making the space look lush and beautiful.

The two walked along the corridor and Serenity raised her hand and touched the spider plant above her head. “It would look even better if this was a wisteria flower.”

“You’re already the mother of your child, yet you still have the heart of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl,” said Gabriel with a smile.

Since she hadn’t had a chance to ask this earlier with others around, she decided to ask now, “How was your conversation with Dad?”

Gabriel’s expression did not change, still looking calm. He was wearing a black coat today that framed his broad shoulders and narrow waist handsomely. “Whether they admit it or not, you are still the Young Madam of the Jones family.”

That was true unless he divorced her.

She bit her red lips lightly and frowned. You offended Madam Eaton.”

Gabriel lifted her head toward him and smoothed out her wrinkled eyebrows. He could feel the coldness of her cheeks despite their rosiness. He moved two steps to the side and shielded her from the wind. “So what?”

“Huh?” She was confused by his response. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

“The Eaton family can have what it has today because of the Jones family. So, even if you offend her, you don’t have to worry..”
