Chapter 18 18: Meant what I said

"And who said I will go with you?" Eveline recovered from her stupor and gawked at Gabriel suspiciously.

It was weird to see Gabriel suddenly showing his concern for her. But for his kind information, she wasn't going to fall for it.

Gabriel was about to speak when Jonathan suddenly made his appearance, breaking their intense stare and advancing swiftly toward him.

"Gabriel, what are you doing here son?" Jonathan asked standing next to them.

Gabriel had been hoping to see Eveline since last night, but he was unable to find a suitable excuse to go see her.

Due to his reputation for being aloof and his difficulty expressing his emotions, Gabriel's parents frequently wondered about him and would have assumed the worst if he had suddenly told them he wanted to meet Eveline.

So he gave up on seeing her last night and decided to visit early, but not alone.

"Good morning, Uncle Jonathan," Stefan said, beaming from the front door.

Jonathan wished Stefan a good morning with a smile. "Have you three decided to go together today?" he asked.

Jonathan, who was used to seeing the boys visit Eveline because they were well-known to be childhood friends, was surprised, as he didn't expect them to show up early in the morning.

Stefan looked at Gabriel before forcing an awkward smile.

"Yes, Uncle, that is correct. You realize that it has been days since we drove together. So today we decided to bring Eveline along since we go to the same college" Stefan remarked.

Eveline furrowed as she clearly caught Stefan lying. Though carefree, he had a terrible habit of lying, especially in front of her, who knew him intimately.
