As Serenity listened attentively, a hand was suddenly placed on her shoulder. She turned around in shock and looked at the person before her with eyes wide open in fear. She instinctively took a step back and she almost fell over into the flowerbed.
Simon reached out to support her, then looked at the two people talking. With a fake smile, he said, “Ms. Serenity, it’s not good to peep and eavesdrop on others.”
Serenity balanced herself and pushed his hand away from her arm. Her palm was wet, but she calmly said, “1 just happened to pass by. And I don’t have time to peep for a hobby.”
Simon had been behind her the whole time, so he knew how much she had heard. He smiled evilly as he looked at her pretty face. “I used to think you would become my sister-in-law. Unfortunately, John married someone else. Why don’t you be with me instead?”
His hand had found its way to her cheek, caressing it. Serenity immediately pushed his hand away as her watery eyes turned cold. “My mother is still waiting for me in the ward. Goodbye.” With that, she brushed past him.
Simon and Serenity ended up causing quite a commotion as Shia and Mrs. Grant came to an abrupt end. When Mrs. Grant saw Serenity leaving, she was shocked. Simon approached them and Mrs. Grant asked, “How much did she hear?”
Simon’s gaze was heavy as he said, “Everything that she shouldn’t have heard.”
Serenity returned to the ward and stayed there for a few minutes before leaving the hospital with Helena Turner.
Helena had been talking about her precious granddaughter for the past few days. So when they passed by the mall, Serenity accompanied her mother to buy clothes and toys for Eva Grant. They planned to make a trip to the Grant family after.
As they shopped, Helena Turner met an acquaintance. She was the wife of a wealthy scholarly family. The woman invited Helena to shop with her at the flower market.
Helena liked to grow flowers as she was a flower lover. How could she pass up such a wonderful opportunity? So she turned to Serenity and said, “Serene, why don’t you send these to the Grant family? I’ll visit Eva next time.”
Serenity was just thinking of an excuse to have Helena go to the Grant family alone. But now it was in vain.
She forced a smile. “Don’t worry, I promise to complete my mission.”
The driver drove Helena Turner to the flower market while Serenity took a taxi to the Grant family.
John and Selena did not live with the rest of the Grant family at the main Grant residence. After Nina Hess died, John moved out of the main residence and bought another place. Selena moved in once they were married.
The car stopped outside the villa, the sight of which made the driver think of how conveniently the rich lived. When he saw the bags Serenity had with her, he enthusiastically helped carry them into the villa.
Mrs. Watson happily greeted Serenity as she took the bags and handed them to the other servants. Then she gave the driver 20 dollars for the fare and told him to keep the change. The driver smiled from ear to ear.
Selena was in the living room playing with Eva Grant. When she saw her sister at the entrance, she smiled. “Serene, come in quickly.”
Mrs. Watson took out a new pair of indoor slippers and placed them at Serenity’s feet. The latter changed her shoes and entered the living room. “Mom bought clothes and toys for Eva. 1 just came to deliver them.” “Why didn’t Mom come with you?” asked Selena with a smile.
“She went to the flower market.” Serenity looked at Eva Grant. Her cheeks were adorably chubby as the little girl sat in a pink tutu dress on the carpet, surrounded by toys, looking as beautiful as a princess.
Selena gently said, “Eva, your aunt is here.. Do you want her to play with you?”
