Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 118 118: You died

She started to rant, but Gabriel ignored it and grabbed her arm, causing her to fall on him.

"We will see it later, but for now we need to sleep," he said, his arms firmly around her.

Like a dumbstruck fool, Eveline blinked her eyes. With her head resting on his chest, she was essentially dozing off over him and could obviously hear his heartbeats.

Being in his embrace felt strange, but she started to lose herself.

She occasionally slept like that following their sexual encounters. Because Gabriel would always be inebriated when they had sex, it was simpler for her to be this close to him.

When Eveline thought back to her past, she felt weird because that was the only time Gabriel would listen to her, but he was usually asleep.

"Eveline," muttered Gabriel, noticing the rigidity in Eveline's posture.

She was startled out of her reverie by his voice and began to calm down.

Although she was in a challenging situation, she felt relatively at ease.

Was it the comforting sound of his heartbeat or his embrace that made all the negative thoughts leave her mind? However, she then heard him talk.

"I was dying to hug you to sleep after our call last night." Eveline paused hearing his words before looking up.

"I think you should stop reading the book I gave you," she said, her face frowning.

"It is undoubtedly having a negative impact on your brain."

Gabriel laughed at her comment, not offended, and hugged her even closer.

"You are the one making that claim. Does that imply that you have lost brain cells somewhere, too? Maybe we are just as dumb after all," he remarked, earning a fierce glare from her.

Gabriel kept laughing, seeing how adorable her reactions were becoming every day. It was encouraging to him that Eveline was speaking the truth and was not keeping her opinions to herself.

"When did you start having trouble sleeping?" Eveline asked, her head resting on his chest once again. Even her tone was soothing, but there was concern in her words.

I am aware, you were not the kind of person who would lose sleep over someone in their thoughts. So explain to me what is wrong." She questioned in a tone more akin to an interrogation, stopping
