"But…" Serenity's main concern wasn't about Madam Eaton as a person, but what she would say about Serenity and Gabriel to others. "What if she says bad things about me in front of Mom and Mom doesn't like me?"
Gabriel gazed at her gently, "Aunty does like to spread rumors."
Every time she felt depressed, she would subconsciously bite her lip.
Gabriel's thumb caressed her red lips and saved her from biting them until they were pale. "Even if Aunty doesn't say anything, Dad and Mom won't accept you for a while. So, it doesn't really matter who says what, honestly."
He might have said that nonchalantly but Serenity still couldn't help but worry.
Keith Jones and Sulia Silver had already felt that her family background was not worthy of him. If Madam Eaton were to exaggerate things and make it sound like she was leeching off him, wouldn't they hate her even more?
