Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 41 41: There is a problem

Gabriel furrowed his brow, following Eveline's lead, and inquired, "I had no idea she thought that way."

"Of course, how would you know because you hardly pay attention to anyone," Eveline teased him with a humorless chuckle.

His ego was constantly being jabbed by Eveline's remarks, which made him realize how naive he had been the entire time to notice such a thing going on in regard to him.

"No, that is untrue. I do pay attention," he said, causing Eveline to stop and turn to look at him.

"And whom do you pay attention to?" she asked, keeping her hands on her waist.

Realizing that he had nearly run into Eveline, Gabriel gagged and took a deep breath before backing away.

This closeness with Eveline was doing something to him, but he was too good at concealing it behind his blank face.

Gabriel looked up at Eveline, taking a moment to gather his racing heart, and said, "You. You are the one I am focusing on."

Eveline's hands gradually left her waist, and she gazed at Gabriel with unfathomable intensity. She would have fallen for his words if she were that desperate Eveline from the past, who felt giddy even at a glance from him.

'No, Eveline, that is not true; you also know that he did not do it.'

"Do not lie, Gabriel. We both know you never listen to anything I say," scoffed Eveline, disgusted at how easily he had lied in front of her.

"If you had, you would not have accused me of a situation in which I had no involvement." she added, her eyes turning blank the moment those words left her mouth.

Gabriel felt like someone just stabbed his heart and he quickly took a step closer to her. He did not give a damn if people saw them this way; all he wanted was for Eveline to quit constantly reminding him of those words that made him feel guilty.
