Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 26: Alliance

"Hello everyone," Eveline said, drawing attention to herself with her excited voice as she moved toward the elders.

Gabriel took a deep breath, finally retreating from his sullen mood and smiled.

Eveline greeted everyone before settling next to Stefan.

"You look pretty, honey." Belle praised Eveline's simple yet elegant look.

"Not as pretty as you, Aunty. You understand that you will always be my favorite," Eveline said, giving Belle a blush for her kind words.

"How are your studies going, then?" Richard looked at Gabriel, who straightened in his seat, and then carefully glanced at Eveline. "I hope Gabriel can teach you properly," he said.

Not someone who got nervous, but wanting to hear Eveline talk about him cautioned him.

Eveline looked at Gabriel, her smile wavering a little. Immediately, she was brought back to their earlier conversation this evening.

"Yes, Gabriel has been a good teacher. I am capable of learning anything by heart," Eveline remarked, turning away from Gabriel.

"How about you, my beloved son?" Marcus directed a lighthearted comment at Stefan, asking, "Have you been taking your course seriously or are there chances that you repeat the semester this year?"

"Dad?" Stefan complained because he did not think his father would make fun of him.

He was not a serious type, to be sure, but he never undervalued his education. His ability to score enough goals without exerting much effort was a gift from God.

Everyone inside the room laughed.

"Let us head somewhere else before my dad roasts like a marinated chicken," Stefan proposed, and the foursome moved past the elder and toward the study area.
