Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 108 108: Love at first sight

"Who knew that your parents were planning to marry you two already? That is probably the reason my father did not make me court Eve. You understand how incredibly fond he is of her," Stefan chuckled as he lay in bed.

Luckily, Eveline already saw him as her brother, and in reality, he had no affections for her despite not realizing how possessive Gabriel was of her.

"Happy she did, or else I would have pummeled you for even looking at my girl," Gabriel forewarned Stefan, eliciting a chuckle from him.

"In your dreams. You could not even acknowledge your affection for her." Stefan said, "You ought to be appreciative of my role as an intermediary between the two of you, since otherwise she would have severed all contact with you by now."

Had it not been for him, Gabriel would never have had the opportunity to pursue Eveline after accusing her of something she never did.

Gabriel remained silent, fully aware that Stefan was correct in everything he had said. But now was not the moment for him to dwell on the past. They had far more important matters to attend to.

"Well, let us just talk about yours for the time being and not mine. How far along is your investigation now?" he asked.

"Do not worry, Ella consented to assist with Ms. Volkov, and we will locate the evidence shortly."

"What is going on with you two?" Gabriel inquired, arched his brow, and leaned leaning on the couch with one leg resting on the other." I mean, why would you ask your father's assistant to assist you?"

Gabriel knew that Ella and Stefan had teamed up on Marcus's ideal project. Stefan seized the chance to demonstrate his qualifications as the potential CEO of Hayes International, but little did he know that his friend would be unexpectedly intrigued by his father's assistant.

"I want so much more to happen between us, but she is pulling a line," Stefan muttered, grinning at Gabriel's inquisitiveness.

"You do know what you are saying, don't you? She is your father's assistant, for heaven's sake," Gabriel jokingly cautioned.

"And what led you to believe that I was playing around? She would be at my mercy by now if I were in her position, but as you can see, I am being patient with her, and that is my boundary."

Gabriel remained silent for a brief moment as he processed the gravity of Stefan's remarks. He was not the one he was familiar with. Something had indeed changed.

"All right, if you say so, but watch out that we do not get her into any problems. You are aware that Alex is not someone to spare for anyone who gets in his way. He dared to kill me, and I do not want to cause trouble for anyone else."
