Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 239 239: He do it to protect me?

Eveline got out of the car, clothed, and strolled around before leaning on the bonnet.

She folded her arms and glanced at the city lights.

Gabriel also followed her and stood right beside her. His eyes were waiting for words from her, but she remained silent.

After a while, she spoke.

"Dad had been lying constantly, but why? What drove him to take the path of lying and continue manipulating everything regarding Mom's death?" she asked, darting her gaze towards Gabriel.

Gabriel was quiet, but her words reverberated in his head, and he responded.

"Perhaps he was protecting someone. Or was I trying to protect someone?" He abruptly said something, prompting Eveline to frown in perplexity.

"He loved his wife, his family and when she died what was left to protect?" She inquired, and her feelings began to surface.

"Exactly, family and after his wife was gone who else remains in that family?" He said this while looking directly into her eyes.

Eveline was taken aback by his query, but then his words hit home, and her eyes widened with awareness.

"Family? He just has me as a family member now. So, did he do it to protect me?" She asked.

"Maybe. It's only a guess. Everyone knows how protective Uncle Jonathan is of you. You are his whole world, therefore when he lost his wife to a gunshot, perhaps he utilized that experience as a lesson and distorted the truth only to keep you safe. Maybe he knew this incident might occur again" he said putting his thoughts in words causing her to furrow.
