Chapter 306 306: I felt useless

Gabriel then drove to Miller Mansion to pick up Eveline before they proceeded to head to Kaden's.

Eveline was so dejected after attending Gabriel's call in the morning that she refused to eat breakfast and instead waited for him. And here he wasn't even looking at her, despite the fact that all she did was stare at him expectantly.

"Do you need anything, Eveline?" Gabriel inquired, seeing her constant stare at him.

He was scrolling something on his phone, but his entire focus was on the girl seated next to him. He knew she wanted to talk and glance her way, but she was thinking about how she would raise her voice.

So he acted on her behalf instead.

Eveline's eyes widened as he put his phone back in his pocket and turned to face her instead.

She gulped, peering into his deep eyes, which were devoid of any emotion for her. She wasn't used to it, and his apathy caused her heart to contract.

Without saying anything, she remained looking at him, taking in the blank expression on his face and shaking her head. She had no idea why she couldn't speak.

Maybe she realized she was wrong and his fury was justifiable, but how long would she keep silent? She would never let him continue to treat her as if she did not exist.

So she let go of her hesitation and sat on his lap.

Gabriel was taken aback by her boldness, but he quickly concealed his feelings and asked her to return to her place.

"We're in the car, Eveline. Get back to your seat," he commanded coldly, making Eveline bite her lips.

"Not unless you stop calling me that," Eveline refused to carry on like this. If he refuses to speak, she will force him to do so.

Gabriel furrowed his brow in inquiry. "What should I stop calling you?" he inquired, confused of what he had said, which she took offense to.

"Eveline," she spat, and his look was grim.

"Isn't that your name? Then why shouldn't I call you by the name your parents gave you?" Gabriel disregarded the change in her demeanor and stared out the window.

He was finished making her understand her error. If she wouldn't listen, he'd quit telling her anything. Maybe that's how things have to be.

Eveline's brow furrowed at his rudeness, and she cupped his face, forcing him to look at her.

"I don't want you to call me that," she said, her dissatisfaction pouring from every word she spoke.

Eveline realized what she did was wrong, but after whatever happened between them, Gabriel immediately drew a line between them, which was both infuriating and sad.

'How can he suddenly treat her as if she does not exist?'

"Then I don't know what to call you because the one I used to call has started treating me like a worthless person whom she can never really rely on nor does his feeling or concern matter to her." Gabriel let go of her hands and turned away.
