Chapter 78 78: You were trying to distract me?

Gabriel decided to go for a run to the nearby park after changing into his jogging suit. He chose to torture himself by going for a jog in the hopes that it would somehow divert his thoughts after the visions prevented him from sleeping a wink the previous night.

As an athlete, Gabriel had always prioritized his physical appearance and exercise regimen, so it did not come as a huge surprise when he managed to complete ten laps in under ten minutes.

Gabriel did not know why those visions troubled him so much, but he could not help but wonder since those dreams had something to do with Eveline.

Gabriel continued to run for ten more minutes, shaking off his thoughts, before eventually stopping and returning home.

While he was expecting to find Eveline in the house to talk to her about a few things about Tiffany, he found herself standing outside a convenience store, idly sipping an energy drink.

"What is she doing here?" he muttered before slowly making his way to the other side of the road.

He was not sure why Eveline was waiting outside the store when she was meant to be heading back home, even though it looked like she had gone for a stroll as well because she was dressed in jogging pairs.

Eveline, on the other hand, had finished two bottles while she continued to wait for Susan. She assumed that, as the other day, she would eventually catch a glimpse of her, but to her dismay, she was unable to locate her.

"Are you waiting for someone, Eve?" Abruptly, the voice from behind startled her out of her reverie, causing some energy drink to spill onto her chest.

"What the freak?" With a curse, Eveline turned to face Gabriel and scowled.

"Gabriel, what is wrong with you? Why do you always show up out of the blue?" Eveline persisted in berating Gabriel for his carelessness despite being discovered.
