She was very sure that if she continued to resist, he would definitely be so angry that he would strangle her to death.
She lifted her eyes up and looked at the mirror. In the mirror, her hair stuck to her face and was dripping with water while her face was as pale as a white sheet. She looked very pathetic at the moment.
His handsome face had a cold look. “You actually dared to drink with people like Julian and even got drunk! I have already reminded you that Julian is not a good person!”
Serenity laughed, and her smile was pale. She tilted her head and freed her chin from his grip as she looked at him with a defeated gaze.
“Just because he likes to play with women, he is a bad person, but what about you?”
She raised her hand and wiped the water droplets from her face as she staggered and leaned against the wall. Her clothes were dampened by the dripping water from her hair and stuck to her body where one could vaguely see the black bra that she wore.
She closed her eyes as though she remembered some painful memories. After a while, she opened her eyes and spoke with a sharp and aggressive tone.
“Playing with other’s feelings then abandoning his girlfriend before marrying her elder sister. Isn’t this man such a bastard? Is he a good person?”
Her words were like a hammer to his heart, which made his whole body hurt.
He pursed his pale lips and said after a long while, “Take a bath. I will prepare hangover soup for you.”
After she heard the door closing, Serenity slid down the wall and sat on the ground as she hugged herself and buried her head between her knees.
In the silent room, one could vaguely hear soft crying noises.
In the living room.
John took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves. He opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients for the hangover soup before entering the kitchen.
He frequently went to this villa. Hence, there was sufficient kitchen equipment, and cleaners would clean the villa every day.
For the sake of entertaining his clients, he would get drunk frequently, which was why he was very familiar with cooking hangover soup. In ten minutes, he was done.
He carried the hangover soup and proceeded to the second floor. He pushed the bedroom door open, yet Serenity was nowhere to be seen.
He placed the hangover soup on the table and focused on listening to the bathroom, but there was no water sound either.
He entered the washroom and found the thin girl curled on the ground with her face between her knees. He could not see her expression as her wet hair was stuck to her face.
He furrowed his brows. “Why didn’t you bathe?”
The girl on the ground kept her posture and did not move or reply to him.
He softly called her name. “Serene?”
Serenity continued to remain silent. He walked forward and squatted beside her. As he heard her soft, regular breathing, he found out that she had actually fallen asleep.
He helplessly sighed and carried her out of the washroom before placing her on the bed. Then, he took a towel and dried her hair before taking out sleepwear from the closet for her to change into and removed the price tag.
He lay down beside her and leaned on the headboard before staring at her sleeping face. When she slept, she was quiet and docile while her fair face looked as white as porcelain.
He raised his hand and caressed her face before gently stroking her cheeks with a warm and gentle gaze.
At that moment, his cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at the bright screen, which showed “Selena.”
Once he answered the call, Selena asked, “Are you coming back today?”
He softly stood up and walked outside the bedroom before gently closing the door. “I’m not coming back today. Rest early..”
