Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 257 257: Some news for you to celebrate

Eveline had been waiting for Gabriel's call for quite some time, but his extended delay had worn her down, so she went for a walk in the garden.

She was becoming agitated for no apparent reason and required some fresh air to clear her mind.

As she stepped out of the house, she observed her father's car proceed off from the Mansion gate, leaving her wondering where he was driving at the moment.

He had been in his room, supposed to asleep but now he was gone.

"Did something happen in the company?" She mumbled in despair at his worries, which kept him rushing every now and then.

Unable to stand still, she swiftly took out her phone and called him, but to her astonishment, he declined.

"What the- why is dad declining my call?" She groaned and tried calling him again, only to discover that he had shut off his phone after sending her a lengthy message.

Eveline furrowed her brow in perplexity as she read the passage.

'I'll be out of town for a day. Do not fear, I have checked with the doctor and my request has been authorized. This is something vital that I need to focus on.'

Eveline's expression furrowed as she found Jonathan's words perplexing. He sounded serious and direct, as if he knew she wouldn't stop calling him until he responded.

So he devised a direct way.

Eveline scowled and closed her eyes. She took a few big breaths and dialed his phone again, only to discover it turned off.

"Why is dad acting this way?" She inquired, unable to determine where Jonathan had unexpectedly gone.

Just as she was about to seek him down, her phone buzzed and she looked down to see Gabriel's name flash on the screen.
