Chapter 161: Finding Out My Son's Girlfriend Is Also My Girlfriend

Gabriel's POV

I hadn't even gotten the chance to process the smell of fresh coffee before my

entire world tilted.

There she was.

Clairessa.

In my kitchen. In my home.

For a split second, I thought I was hallucinating-still trapped in a half-dream.

But the second her eyes met mine-wide, horrified—and the coffee cup slipped from her hand, shattering on the floor, I knew I wasn't dreaming.

No. This was a goddamn nightmare.

She stood barefoot in an oversized shirt and shorts, her hair in a messy bun, like she belonged here. Like she lived here.

Like she had every damn right to stand in this house-my house-looking so comfortable, so familiar, in a place that was meant to be off-limits to the world.

What the hell was she doing here?

Before I could even find my voice-before I could demand an answer-Adrian burst into the kitchen.

"Clairessa!" he exclaimed, rushing to her side like I wasn't even there.

He glanced briefly at the shattered cup and then ignored it completely, focusing only on her.

"What happened? Are you hurt?" he asked, taking her hand with an ease that made my insides twist.

"I... I was just startled. The cup slipped," she mumbled, eyes darting from him back to me refusing to meet my gaze.

"Did it burn you?" he asked, already leading her toward the sink.

"A little...," she muttered.

"Let's rinse it off," he murmured gently, turning on the faucet and running cool water over her hand like he'd done it a hundred times before.

"Feel any better?" he asked as their eyes locked. "Doesn't look too bad. I'll get the ointment."

“I'm fine. No need,” she said quickly, pulling her hand from his grasp. “Thank you.”

She smiled.
