Chapter 408: Keeping Each Other Company Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mrs. Winstead knew Serenity needed to eat fruits every time she woke up from her afternoon nap so she went to the kitchen and prepared fruit platter. “You're pregnant now so of course you will need more people to take care of you. It’s not safe for you to go out and drive yourself every day.”

“He did this?” asked she. “Yes, this arrangement was coordinated by Ms. Francesca,” said Mrs. Winstead.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Serenity ate some seasonal fruits while watching television. Then, her phone rang. She was very surprised to receive a call from Wendy Jones. Although the two had exchanged numbers, they had never contacted each other. “Mrs. Hoffman.”

“| have nothing to do,” said Wendy as she sat in a cafe near Times Square. “I’m looking for a companion.” She turned down the volume of the television and smiled. “I’m bored too. We can keep each other company.”

Wendy shared her location and they hung up. Serenity went back to her room to change into her clothes and grabbed her bag to leave.

“Young Madam, let Lenny drive you there,” said Mrs. Winstead.

She didn’t refuse and Lenny drove her to the agreed location. From afar, she saw Wendy Jones waiting outside the mall. She got out of the car and walked quickly towards her. “Mrs. Hoffman, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Wendy was wearing a dark green coat over a knitted sweater and a skirt that reached her ankles. She smiled gracefully. “I’ve just arrived as well. Let’s go in.”

It was rare for someone to accompany her shopping but the two of them walked around the mall for a long time. When she tried on clothes, Wendy Jones would give her honest opinion. They shopped as if they were long-time friends, getting along very well.

When they came out of the mall, the two of them had bags in their hands. Feeling a little tired after shopping for a long time, they found a coffee shop to rest.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Serenity saw a young man holding a guitar and singing at the side of the square.

Serenity supported her chin with one hand as she looked at the man who was singing. “In the past, when | was in California, | would often meet people who sang like this. When I had no classes, | would go listen to a man called Abel sing in the park or the subway. | would often listen to him sing for an entire day. There was once when he talked to me and gave me an autograph. He said that he would become famous in the future and when he did, he would ask me to bring his autograph to him and thank him for being his listener.”

Wendy took a sip of coffee and said, “He played the guitar with his left hand. There was a string of English letters tattooed between his thumb and forefinger. And he would always be wearing a baseball cap.”

“How did you know?” Serenity looked at her in surprise.

“I've been to California before,” said Wendy with a smile.” | met him on the subway. He’s quite good at singing.”

“l also think his songs are not bad. What he lacks is an opportunity. Sooner or later, he will make a name for himself.” Serenity’s eyes were glisteningly bright as she smiled. “The tattoo on his hand spelled his name.”

Wendy took out her phone and muted it. Then, she raised it and pretended to read the message so that she could secretly take a photo of Serenity to be sent to him.

Gabriel was still in the neighboring city, discussing the proposal with the person in charge of the new project in the conference room. The phone in his pocket vibrated so he took it out to read the message from Wendy Jones. It was a photo.

The woman in the photo had a sweet smile on her face. Her eyes were curved like the crescent moon, glistening under the light. Her pretty face was glowing with a unique beauty.

It was just a casual discussion and not a formal meeting so Gabriel could easily walk to the window and stare at the woman in the photo for a long time before replying to Wendy Jones's text message..
