Chapter 131 131: It's the most devastating moment of my life

Eveline's cheeks became pale at the sound of Gabriel's comments, but the next moment, she noticed the corner of his lips twisted up in an enticing smile.

It then struck Eveline like an arrow, and she slapped his arm.

"Gabriel Winston, how dare you make fun of me like that!!" She shouted and continued to slap him, only to hear his hearty chuckle in response.

Eveline nearly had a heart attack when she realized Gabriel had doubts about her rebirth. But, thank goodness, he was just pulling her leg.

She instantly broke away from his grip and was on her feet.

Just as Eveline was about to ask him to go, the sound of a car entering the property prompted her to furrowed her brow.

Her gaze immediately shifted to the clock on the wall, and she whispered, "Isn't he overworking himself?"

Eveline had been notified that Jonathan would be working late, but she had no idea it was this late.

"Aren't we sleeping, Eve?"

Eveline snapped out of her thoughts and gave him a bewildered expression.

She knew she was at a loss either way, so she gave up on the thought of negotiating with him and crossed to the other side of the bed to join him.
