Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 385 385: I’m not doing this to pry into her life

By the time Eveline left Sherlyn's clinic, Gabriel's car was already waiting for her in the parking lot. Without a second thought, she headed straight for it and slipped inside.

"I doubted you would let me be," Eveline joked as she fastened her seatbelt.

Gabriel wore an annoyed expression, making her brow furrow in confusion.

"I don't think that look is because you're upset with me… There's something else bothering you," she said, her tone laced with curiosity.

Eveline was being playful, but Gabriel didn't budge. "You should know that your uncle has lost it. He's acting like a teenager who just got dumped. That man nearly fried my brain with his complaints."

Eveline puffed out a laugh, barely holding it back. But when Gabriel shot her a that's not funny look, she just grinned.

Gabriel had no intention of wasting his time thinking about Kaden and his endless rants, not when he could be spending it with his girl.

"Where do you want to go?" he asked, starting the engine and pulling out of the parking lot.

"Somewhere we can be alone," she said, her voice carrying a clear suggestion.

Gabriel understood immediately and drove them to their sanctuary, their penthouse, their fortress.

After parking the car under the canopy, they stepped inside. Eveline had a lot to discuss with Gabriel, but first, she needed to satisfy her hunger.

She had already requested him to prepare something for her, and as soon as they entered, he got to work.

Within minutes, he was back, setting the table with a plate of Italian pasta for both of them, perfectly paired with a glass of wine.

"The setup reminds me of our proposal," Eveline mused, watching him as he joined her.

Gabriel passed her a knowing look, one only she could decipher and soon, they began eating.
