Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 338 338: Are you related to the patient?

"Eve, Aunt Erna doesn't exhibit excessive stress." You're the one overthinking." Gabriel watched her as she pursed her lips into a thin line.

Eveline knew Gabriel wouldn't accept her fears when she compared her mother's sleepless nights to her nightmares.

"I can't help but feel the same way, Gabriel. She may try to hide it, but I know there is something going on in her mind," Eveline exclaimed, feeling uneasy about her mother's anxiety.

Gabriel sighed and placed his hand beneath her chin. As she turned to face him, he added, "If you believe she is hiding something, why not confront her?"

Eveline closed her eyes. "I tried, but she just smiled," she whined helplessly, forcing Gabriel to smile at her adorable side.

Eveline opened her eyes to find Gabriel admiring her with a silly smile on his face.

"I knew you would think I was overreacting, but I'm not." As she was about to rise up from his lap, he pulled her back.

Eveline's brow wrinkled when Gabriel finally let her go. "Leave me. "I have work to finish," she cried, attempting to break free from his grip, but Gabriel refused to listen until her eyes grew enraged.

"Okay, I am sorry, but will you please stop shooting daggers at me?" He finally stopped taunting her and looked at her seriously.

Gabriel enjoyed taunting Eveline, but when it became overpowering, he would stop. And apologizing was not difficult, but when she kept looking away, he couldn't help but cup her face and kiss her.

Eveline melted as if the kiss had some kind of magic, and she pulled back, resting their foreheads together.

"I would have ignored it, Gabriel, but my heart isn't ready to let go of anything, especially when I can sense something isn't right," she voiced her inner turmoil.

She couldn't sleep last night since Erna was continually on her mind. She knew she needed to trust her mother, but she couldn't.

"Then I suggest you talk to her openly rather than stressing out and assuming everything on your own," Gabriel repeated.

Eveline gave Gabriel a contemplative expression before nodding in accord. "I suppose you are correct. I will not let these fears engulf me. It's better if I talk to her personally," she said, finally making up her mind.

Gabriel stroked his hand over Eveline's luscious lips as the duo remained seated. He was tempted to kiss her again, but before he could, the tap on the door surprised them, leading Eveline to jump from his lap and dash back to her seat.
