Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 236 236: I was bribed

A car swooshes by the road, rattling the dried leaves from the ground. A heavy stillness descended between Eveline and Gabriel.

While Gabriel waited to hear from Eveline, the latter remained quiet.

If he could guess, she appeared to be thinking about something, but the question had yet to be put at him.

Gabriel decided to do it himself once enough time had elapsed and she had not spoken a word.

"You didn't ask me, where are we going?" Gabriel inquired, finally noting her stature change.

Eveline turned to gaze at Gabriel, straightening slightly before fully turning to face him.

"I will, but first let me tell you something," she added, causing him to scowl in anticipation.

Eveline paused for a while, her eyes twitching with concern as she gently flicked her look to Gabriel and added, "Dad came to meet me yesterday, but he left after seeing the door locked from inside."

"So?" Gabriel remembers someone attempting to unlock the door, but it was locked, and after a few failed efforts, it stopped.

Eveline blinked, finding his statements ludicrous, wondering if he still didn't understand.

"It indicates he must believe something is wrong with me. I've never locked the door. Dad has a habit of visiting me after I fall asleep. But when he couldn't get in, he asked Aunt Susan, and she lied about me sleeping early," she exclaimed in one breath.

"..."

"But aren't you locking the door every since I joined you to bed?"

Eveline:"Blinks"

"Oh yes, then does it mean there's nothing for me to worry about?" She asked, and Gabriel took a long breath.

He then cupped her face and kissed her lips.

"Eve, your father is not aware of anything. So relax, and even if he demands an explanation, I will accept responsibility. I don't mind marrying you."

Eveline thought Gabriel had suddenly sprouted two horns on his head.
