Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 372 372: What do you think

"That was an impulsive move, though," Gabriel sighed.

Eveline realized she might have been better off handling things more carefully. But the doubts swirling in her mind wouldn't let her rest, pushing her to address the situation head-on instead.

"Now, don't overthink it. We'll find a way to confirm everything," Gabriel reassured her, quickly picking up on her silence. He knew her all too well—her tendency to overanalyze had always concerned him. She would bury herself in thoughts until they started affecting her mood and behavior.

Eveline pouted. "I won't."

Gabriel chuckled, already picturing the expression on her face—one he found utterly adorable.

The two continued talking for a while before saying their goodbyes. After hanging up, Eveline headed to the bathroom for a quick shower.

"It's strange when Eveline calls me 'Aunt.' The word feels so foreign—it actually makes me blush," Sherlyn muttered, recalling their recent visit to the Miller house. She had enjoyed spending time with Erna and Eveline, getting to know them better.

Kaden raised an eyebrow. "Was that a good thing, or did it embarrass you?" he asked, his gaze locking onto her with curiosity.

Sherlyn noticed the expectant glint in his eyes—he was waiting for her to ease his doubts.

"You know I'm too young to be called 'Aunt,'" she said, watching his expression shift from curiosity to mild annoyance.

"And you think I'm too old to be called 'Uncle'?"

Sherlyn could tell Kaden was irked by her words, the tension in his stance confirming it.
