"Ah"
Gabriel gave Eveline a start, biting and pulling her lower lip slowly before releasing it.
"You do enjoy trying my patience, do not you?" His gaze was fixed on her as he asked in a melancholy tone.
Gabriel had never felt the need to run after anyone, but Eveline wasn't just anyone. She was the girl he liked and watching her get close to a guy, boiled his blood.
Though shocked, Eveline did not let her fear get in the way of her resolve to tell the truth.
Her voice was quiet but firm as she said, "As I said, let me explain."
Gabriel gave her a serious glance and cocked his head slightly before nodding.
Instead of holding himself responsible for losing control or frightening her, he would give her an opportunity to express herself before making any decisions.
Gazing at her agitated countenance, Gabriel tenderly stroked her cheek and planted another kiss on her lips, rendering Eveline completely stunned.
