Chapter 73 73: Start getting used to it

"It is because my phone was in silent mode," Eveline hurriedly said, pulling her phone from her bag and pressing it up against his face.

"You see, I did not intentionally turn down your calls," she continued, warily glancing at Gabriel's grave expression.

Gabriel glanced at the phone and then at Eveline before giving her an approval nod. Though he was skeptical of her first answer, he decided not to prolong it for too long.

Eveline, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief before turning her phone back to normal mode and shoving it in her pocket.

She was about to turn to leave when she noticed Gabriel's driver making his way towards them.

"Young Master, aren't we going to leave?" He asked, glancing at Gabriel with caution.

Eveline glanced back and forth between them, hearing Gabriel say, "No," before the driver turned and left.

"Were you going somewhere?" she asked out of curiosity.

It was no longer necessary for them to attend college, as Gabriel was about to graduate. Thus, she wondered if Gabriel was already leaving the house when the driver questioned him about the departure.

Gabriel hesitated at the sudden counter of her words and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"After failing to locate you in college or contact you via phone," Gabriel whispered, "I was going to look out for you."

Gabriel glanced at Eveline, only to find her astonishingly staring back at him.

"What am I? A five-year-old kid who will go missing anywhere?" she asked, recovering from her stupor.

Gabriel did not give a good enough response, admitting that he had been overdoing it with Eveline.

Though he did not regret it, he just did not want to lose her sight.

Gabriel turned the conversation around and said, "Anyways, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Eveline scowled, but before she could question what it was, Gabriel took hold of her hand and led her to a private area out of sight of onlookers.
