Chapter 25 25: Here she comes

Arriving at the Winston Mansion gates, the black BMW came to a stop in front of the residence. Gabriel, looking nervous, emerged from the backseat and entered the house right away.

His heart wasn't at ease and he was constantly reminded of the words Eveline said to him.

Immersed in his thoughts, Gabriel failed to see Daniel standing before him until they collided.

"Watch out, big brother," Daniel joked, which did not sit well with Gabriel's sour disposition.

"Go away," Gabriel angrily yanked his brother out of his way and continued walking upstairs, obliging the servant's unblinking gaze as they watched their young master make his way to his room.

THUD!

Although it was not unusual for them to see Gabriel unhappy these days, they were still interested in finding out who had soured his attitude.

"What was the sound?" Belle walked out of her room and inquired.

"Ask your beloved son, Mom. He seems to be upset over something," Daniel stated, picking up the apple from the basket resting on the breakfast table before settling on the couch inside the living hall.

Daniel expected to return home with Gabriel; however, he missed reaching him for over a minute before driving off with Stefan.

Stefan told him that Gabriel was supposed to drop Eveline home; however, his return expressed a lot about their journey.

With a frown, Belle observed Daniel ignoring the hygiene and reprimanded her youngest child from the first floor, "Daniel, wash that apple before eating." She then made her way to Gabriel's room to inquire about his problem.

Gabriel threw his bag aside and slumped onto the bed, his arm resting on his eye in a weary state. Unaware of the reason behind his intense emotional response to Eveline's words, Gabriel continued to feel uneasy about the direction this relationship was taking.
