Chapter 250 250: What are you doing in my daughter's cupboard?

"Shit, Gabriel hide..." Eveline yanked Gabriel away and climbed down the bed after hearing Jonathan request her to open the door.

Dread seized her heart, and she grabbed Gabriel's arm and began rushing across the room, looking for a better spot for him to hide.

"Go under the bed," she suggested, gazing down, but then declined.

"No, not the bed; maybe my cupboard; it's safer," she whispered as she dragged him to the tall closet but stopped again.

"No, how will you breathe? Never, I will not let you die over me," she said again.

Gabriel saw her discreetly drag him like a heavy suitcase she intended to stash someplace inside her chamber.

As the sound of knocks grew and Jonathan's concerned voice emerged from outside, Eveline grabbed Gabriel's arm and shoved him inside the cupboard without hesitation.

"Don't come out unless I tell you, and please don't die, okay," she murmured, leaning against the nearby door before turning and running to open her chamber door.

"Dad?' Eveline yawned, her eyes sleepily gazing at Jonathan as she proceeded to inquire.

"Why are you here?" "Shouldn't you sleep?" She asked.

It had only been a short while since she had left his room and gone to hers, but now he was standing outside her door, frightened.

"Eve, princess, are you alright? I heard a sound coming from your room." He inquired, ignoring the act of sleepiness she put in front of him as a shield from hiding things from him as he pushed aside and barged into the room, stunned.

The sound of his wooden stick echoed across the room, terrifying her.

Eveline panicked as she followed him, and Jonathan continued to check her room like a detective.
