Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 53 53: The answer would be the same

It was late in the night and Eveline couldn't find her sleep. It wasn't because of the bed or a new place. She was used to sleeping here, but tonight something felt different.

Not only did a long time pass, but she also did not experience a sudden urge to sleep, nor did she have any nightmares that kept her awake.

Simply put, she couldn't sleep.

Eveline got up and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the wall ahead of her. She continued mentally counting numbers, but each time, Gabriel's controlling actions toward her were brought to mind.

Just when she thought it was enough, she climbed off the bed and made her way out of the room.

Eveline desperately needed a breath of fresh air, and the rooftop offered the only place she could find the tranquility she was currently seeking.

She moved upstairs quietly and out onto the terrace. The moment the cool breeze softly hit her skin, she closed her eyes, taking in the feeling that soothed her mind.

"This is better," she muttered, under her breath as a smile slowly made its way on her lips.

"Yes, this is better." She heard a voice abruptly reach her chords. She opened her eyes to see Gabriel sitting on the long swing, a short distance away from her position.

The smile on her face vanished and she stared at the boy with the utmost detest.

"Are you a ghost or something? Why do you appear out of nowhere?" Eveline questioned her, her hands crossed over her chest.

For an instant, she thought everything was under control—that is, until Gabriel showed up and ruined whatever peace she had managed to find.
