Chapter 914

Gabrielle let out a long, melancholle sigh but did not elaborate further.

Sheena smiled as she pretended to joke, “Are you afraid these desserts will make your gain weight? Don’t worry. These are all made with sugar–free buttercream by a five–star pastry chef, sweet but not too heavy. They’re delicious and not very high in calories.”

Gabrielle accepted the dessert Sheena offered but did not eat it right away.

Instead, she grumbled, “I got scolded by Romello yesterday, and I almost got grounded today. It’s been a bit of a downer for me.”

Sheena was surprised, asking, “Why did Romello want to ground you? Is it… because of me? Is he trying to keep you from attending my tea party?”

She lowered her head in frustration, then leaned closer to Sheena, whispering mysteriously, “Sheena, I’ll tell you a secret, but don’t tell anyone else.”

Sheena nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Gabrielle trusted her and continued, “Yesterday, I couldn’t resist my curiosity and wanted to peek into Phoebe’s room. And guess what I found?”

Sheena’s expression became serious. “What?”
