Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 67 67: Your feelings will never be reciprocated

Gabriel was still flipping the note between his fingers, his mind racing with ideas, when there was a knock on the door, jolting him out of his reverie.

He scowled as he closed the note and pushed it into the drawer before moving to open the door.

"Why have you not joined the study yet-" The moment Eveline saw the partially nude Gabriel in front of her, her loud noise abruptly stopped.

Her mouth dropped open upon seeing his toned physique, and her eyes widened in shock

'What the freak?' she screamed in her mind and continued to gawk shamelessly at Gabriel until she heard him speak.

"What do you think, Eve? Do I have a good body to gawk at?" Despite observing Eveline's shocked expression, Gabriel asked while proudly facing her, only to see her face go all red with his comment.

If it had been someone else, Gabriel would have closed the door, but the instant he heard Eveline's bright voice coming through the door, he couldn't stop flaunting his body to her.

Eveline stood there looking like a dumbfounded fool, oblivious to the fact that her face had turned completely red. It was not as though she had never seen him naked before—they had slept soundly together a few times, but the sight of Gabriel's body was a treat to her shameless eyes.

"Ahem-hm." Holding back the smile that was about to break out on his face, Gabriel said, "If you like it so much, then you can touch it."

He knew Eveline would get affected by his closeness and watching him bare with only a towel wrapped around his torso would've blown her mind.

Even though the evidence was pretty clear, he still wanted to speak with her.

Eveline's gaze was fixed on his chest, gradually shifting to his face as she heard him speak. The moment she saw the corner of his lips curled into a smirk, she felt like someone threw a bucket full of cold water on her, startling her out of her trance.

She felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment that nearly made her want to scream in her head.
