Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 96 96: Where did he hurt you?

Eveline gasped for breath, her face flushed red from fatigue, and she slowly raised her eyes to see him staring directly into hers.

She found it difficult to resist his inner desire because of the unmistakable need that lingered in his grey eyes. But she was unable to give in.

They were in his car, which was parked in front of her residence. To exacerbate her concerns, their driver had apparently heard them sulking across the divider.

She thought, "How can someone be so shameless?" and quickly refuted it.

"A kiss was given to you as requested. She pushed him away from her and said, "Now do not get too greedy," before hurriedly exiting the vehicle.

With barely a sidelong glance, Gabriel watched Eveline dash through the mansion gates.

He sighed in defeat and motioned for the driver to leave, and they quickly drove away.

Eveline, eager to see her father, asked a servant on the way and discovered that he was working, so she hurried over to the study area.

She hurried over to his desk and gave him a quick hug, saying, "Dad."

"My princess, I miss you so very much." Jonathan remarked, only to be shoved out of the embrace.

"That's why you didn't notify me about your departure, correct? Dad, when did you start acting shady? She inquired, pretending to be irritated by his sudden departure.

Jonathan laughed heartily, missing his daughter being pampered in front of him. Something he saw in her after a long time.

"Only if your phone was turned on, dear, is what I wanted to tell you. Recall that I did in fact give you ten missed calls before telling Belle about it."

With a snort, Eveline grabbed a chair and settled in.

"Yeah, I understand, but even so, you should not have asked them to bring me home. I am not a kid anymore," she pouted in protest.

"Okay, so my grown-up daughter?" Jonathan inquired, brushing off her apparent irritation. "Put an end to your childish behavior and tell me about your experiences staying at the Winston House. Did you still enjoy staying there?"

"Yes, I did. It is still the same as it was in my childhood. "She smiled, thinking back on the happy times she had spent with Aunt Belle and Uncle Richard, who "still treated me like a five-year-old kid."

Jonathan was pleased to see Eveline smile as she discussed her time with Winston. But the realization that he would soon have to keep his pledge and marry his daughter to their son left a void in his heart.
