Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 87 87: Falling hard for you

"Bug? You called me bug?" Gabriel was offended by Eveline's comparison of him to a bug when, in reality, he wasn't anywhere near bugging her.

Knowing that everyone around her constantly had bad intentions toward her, all he wanted was to be with her.

Was it that hard to understand?

After giving what she had said some thought, Eveline shook her head vehemently and said, "No, it will be embarrassing for bugs to compare you to him."

Eveline snapped, making Gabriel scowl. "Obviously, you are that bug in my life that I can not get rid of."

Though he remained silent, her words had an impact on him based on the look on his face.

"Then advise me on how to stop you from escaping from me. I told you I liked you, but you act as if I did not say that or that you will not like me back. Do you even know how much it pains me to hear you say you will not love me when all along I am the one who is falling hard for you?"

"..."

Gabriel said out loud what was on his mind, instantly silencing Eveline. It was the first time she had heard him speak for such an extended period of time and with words that touched her deeply.

"W-what are you expecting me to say, then?" A glare was all Eveline got for her stumble.

With his teeth clenched, Gabriel took Eveline by the waist and brought her up to sit on his lap. "You still don't know what you should do?" Gabriel asked. His eyes brooding dangerously into hers.

Eveline swallowed when she saw his eyes lower to her lips.
