Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 82 82: You are lying

"Ah"

Gabriel gave Eveline a start, biting and pulling her lower lip slowly before releasing it.

"You do enjoy trying my patience, do not you?" His gaze was fixed on her as he asked in a melancholy tone.

Gabriel had never felt the need to run after anyone, but Eveline wasn't just anyone. She was the girl he liked and watching her get close to a guy, boiled his blood.

Though shocked, Eveline did not let her fear get in the way of her resolve to tell the truth.

Her voice was quiet but firm as she said, "As I said, let me explain."

Gabriel gave her a serious glance and cocked his head slightly before nodding.

Instead of holding himself responsible for losing control or frightening her, he would give her an opportunity to express herself before making any decisions.

Gazing at her agitated countenance, Gabriel tenderly stroked her cheek and planted another kiss on her lips, rendering Eveline completely stunned.

She was utterly bewildered, but it was unbelievable to witness Gabriel behave like a submissive puppy, prepared to present himself to her.

Taking a moment to fathom her thoughts, Eveline finally spoke: "It was just an act to make Alex drop his defense."

Eveline looked up and saw him staring calmly at her. She knew Alex was a mentally unstable person who required drugs to remain sane. So when she got hold of that bottle, she confronted him.

Eveline's goal was to trap Alex so that he would be so blind as to trust her that he would divulge every secret he had kept to himself. However, it will be difficult for her to win Alex's trust if Gabriel keeps ruining her plans.

"So you will let him hold your hand?" he asked with an arch of his brow.

"As I said, it was an act.
