Gabriel placed his fork on the bowl neither lightly nor heavily. Serenity, who was watching the show with great interest, did not notice that his mood was off.
He pushed away the bowl and stood up. As he unbuttoned his shirt, he entered the bedroom. When he passed by her, he glanced at the back of her dark head.
With the sound of the door closing, Serenity looked away from the television. She put down the half-eaten noodles and walked towards the dining room. He had barely touched the food on the table. Did he have a bad appetite today?
Gabriel stood still in the bedroom, not in a hurry to take a shower. Instead, he lit a cigarette and the white smoke that came out of his nose and lips filled the air, shrouding his usually calm and stern face.
The sound of the television came from the living room outside, making him feel extremely depressed and gloomy.
He regretted bringing Serenity along when he came to Jonan City.
