Chapter 88 88: Will you still decline?

Astonished to find she had slept through the longest night of her life, Eveline had no idea how long she had slept.

Normally, those nightmares would keep her awake, but this time she slept soundly through the night.

After realizing at last what time it was, she made Gabriel drive her home, where she found an anxious Susan frantically calling someone.

As soon as their gazes locked, Susan ran to her, abandoning everything.

"Young Miss, why is your phone off and where did you go all of a sudden?" Susan asked, finally being able to exhale with relief.

Upon hearing her words, Eveline frowned and reached into her pocket to take out her phone, only to find it turned off.

"Un, how did it turn off?" She whispered as she stared at the blank screen.

"I believe it ran out of battery," she said, darting her gaze back at Susan and shoveling the phone back into her pocket

"And by the way I went out for some work. Sorry I couldn't tell you as it was urgent" she added putting an end to Susan's worry.

Eveline purposely didn't talk about Gabriel a she didn't wanted anyone to gossip about it, so an alibi was fine to conclude everything.

Susan nodded, believing her words.

"Do you want me to bring you dinner?" she inquired.

"Yeah, I am so hungry," Eveline said, and she headed upstairs.

Eveline ate dinner in her room prior to Susan leaving for her home.

She was just lying in bed when her phone buzzed, causing her to quickly pick it up to see who it was—it was Gabriel, of course—texting her.

'I hope you have a good sleep. Miss you'

The words in the message made Eveline cringe, and she threw her phone aside. She cursed herself for allowing herself to become weak in front of Gabriel now that she was coherent again.

However, her thoughts quickly turned to the kiss and the heart-pounding comment he made despite his anger.
