Love After a Steamy Affair

4 You Shouldn’t Eat Too Much at Night
When she woke up, it was already very dark. She took her phone, which was placed at the bedside, and looked at it, only to realize that it was already 9:30 pm.

Since she did not eat anything during the flight, she was a little hungry by then.

She changed her clothes and wanted to go downstairs. After she walked out of the guest room, she took a look at the ground level from the corridor.

Selena was in the living room, sitting on the sofa while watching a variety show. The maid served a plate of fruits on the coffee table.

She had just walked down two steps when she saw John coming home. The maid laid down his slippers in front of him.

She immediately stopped in her tracks and held the golden railing tighter.

Compared to three years ago, he now looked more mature and charismatic. He was wearing a dark-colored luxury Western suit coupled with a white blouse, making him look very cold and clean.

He changed out of his shoes at the entrance and, thus, was not able to notice Serenity, who was at the stairs.

She stood at the stairs and contemplated whether she should go down or not. If she went down, things would definitely get awkward for the three of them. Just as she was about to turn around to return to her room, Selena’s voice could be heard from behind her. “Serene.”

Her body suddenly froze, and she instinctively bit her lips while her fingernails dug deep into her palms, causing a tinge of pain.

After a long time, she finally turned around. By then, her face had regained its original color, and not a single weird expression could be seen.

Selena was sitting on the sofa in the living room while looking at her. John, who was standing at the entrance, also looked at her at the same time.

She faintly glared at him and retracted her gaze without a trace. She walked down the stairs and said, “Sis, I am hungry.”

Selena happily shouted, “Lily!”

Lily came out of the kitchen and saw Serenity walking down the stairs. She excitedly greeted her, “Miss Serenity.”

Before John and Selena got married, Serenity used to visit the Grant family all the time. Hence, most of the maids working for the Grant family recognized her.

Serenity did not have that proud and arrogant demeanor that a rich man’s daughter usually had. In the past, when she visited the Grant family, she would always call her “Lily” in a sweet voice. Hence, she’d built a good image for herself in front of Lily.

John entered the living room, and Selena naturally went forward to take off his coat. She hung his coat on the wooden rack. They looked very much like an old couple.

Serenity felt that the scene seemed as if it was meant to mock her. It was as though there was a sharp dagger slowly slicing across her heart. It was so painful that her heart clenched.

Lily served the dishes, which were specifically made for her. Serenity walked to the dining room and casually asked, “Where’s Mrs. Watson?”

Mrs. Watson was an experienced maid of the Grant family, and she liked Serenity very much. In the past, whenever she visited the Grant family, Mrs. Watson would always cook her favorite dishes and prepare her favorite fruits.

Selena smelled an alcoholic scent from John and told the maid to cook some hangover soup for him. Upon hearing Serenity’s words, she replied, “Mrs. Watson’s grandson is sick so she took the day off.”

John lay on the sofa as he felt very tired. He took a glance at Serenity, who was at the dining table. She no longer had the shy look from before, and her white dress made her skin look as fair as snow with her eyebrows now looking very pretty and delicate.

She seemed to have lost a lot of weight, particularly the baby fat on her face. Her jaw looked sharper, and perhaps because she was too thin, her eyes looked especially big. Yet her eyes still looked as dark and clear as ever.

Serenity’s appetite was really small and she did not eat a lot. She ate only a few bites and put down her cutlery.

Lily saw that she did not eat much and asked, “Ms. Serenity, is the food not suitable for you?”

It should not be like this as it was cooked according to her past taste.

Serenity didn’t even have the chance to reply to her because John suddenly interrupted her. “It’s not good to eat too much at night.”

He had just finished speaking when he saw Serenity raising her head to look towards him. His heart suddenly tightened.

Ever since he came in just now, she kept ignoring him.
