Chapter 28: Was He Really That Good?

He spoke without any context, which made her very confused. She thought for a long while, yet she still could not understand what he was trying to say.
After Gabriel left, she helped to pack his dirty clothes into the bag. However, when she bent down to take the hotel room card on the coffee table, she froze. Her phone was placed beside the room card!
So this was what Gabriel was talking about.
Her face turned slightly pale. Did John realize it too?
She was a bundle of nerves when she saw that and stayed in the room for a while. She did not return to the banquet and directly took the elevator to the car park before letting Mr. Geoffrey send her home.
Mr. Geoffrey had just started the car when her phone rang.
Although the number was not saved on her phone, it did not look foreign to her. Instead, she was quite familiar with it.
She hesitated for a while before answering it. She had not even spoken when John could be heard calling her name. “Where are you?”
She massaged her temples while looking at the lighting outside the window. Perhaps she was a little drunk, her eyes looked a little dazy. “I am in the car.” He asked in disbelief, “In the car?”
She faintly replied, “I think I drank too much and I am not feeling well, so I am going back first. Help me tell my parents and Grandpa that I took my leave first.”
“Okay. Pass the phone to Geoffrey and let him answer it.”
Serenity knew his intention. He was trying to make sure that she was not lying.
She passed the phone over to Mr. Geoffrey while he steered the car with one hand. When he took the phone, he took a look at the phone screen.
However, the screen only showed a bunch of numbers that he was not familiar with. He curiously put the phone to his ear. “Please talk.”
She did not know what John had said on the other end of the phone, but Mr. Geoffrey quietly listened to him. After a minute, he said in a polite tone, “Yes, Mr. Grant. I will take note of it. I have been driving for the Rivers family for over ten years, you can rest assured.”
After the call ended, Mr. Geoffrey passed the phone back to Serenity. Serenity took the phone and nonchalantly asked, “What did he say?”
Mr. Geoffrey looked straight into her eyes and gave a bright smile before saying, “Mr. Grant reminded me to drive carefully and told me to ask Mrs. Walter to cook some hangover soup for you. He also said to add some rock sugar in it because you like it that way.”
He paused before saying further, “Miss Selena is so lucky to have married Mr. Grant.”
Serenity’s breath hitched and she accidentally asked, “Is he really that good?”
“Mr. Grant is a really good person. Not only does he have a good family background, but he is also a handsome and refined man. There are so many girls in Andalas who were so envious of Miss Selena that they even want to be her so that they can marry Mr. Grant. However, Mr. Grant did not care about other girls other than Miss Selena. He treats Miss Selena very well and they are as sticky as glue.”
When she heard Mr. Geoffrey say that “they were as sticky as glue,” she felt as if there was a sharp blade harshly piercing through her heart.
Mr. Geoffrey totally did not notice that her face had turned pale and continued babbling on, “When Miss Selena was pregnant, Mr. Grant had to work until very late at night. But he was afraid that she would overthink and purposely sent her overseas to await delivery. He would visit her often, and even Master Samson said that Miss Selena married the right man…”
She quietly listened as she stared at the green trees decorated with beautiful lighting outside the window.
The red and green light blinked non-stop, and as the car speedily passed by them, it slowly became a small black dot.
Mr. Geoffrey noticed that she did not say a word and could see that her expression did not seem very good through the rearview mirror. He thought that he was being too nosy and gave an awkward smile.
“Miss Serenity will definitely marry a man as good as Mr. Grant in the future..”
