Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Eveline’s confession to Gabriel Chapter 162: Eveline’s confession to Gabriel A year had passed since the college began, and Eveline quickly gained popularity among the students for her outstanding beauty and friendliness.

She was not like those affluent brats who look down on others, but her close relationship with Gabriel did earn her some enemies.

Despite her nice attitude, they would look down on her because she came from a wealthy family and had the college’s most attractive males around her.

Eveline knew Stefan and Gabriel were dubbed Aspen’s most attractive men.

While Stefan loved the notoriety, Gabriel, as usual, remained private, scarcely noticing it.

There were times when she observed him with girls who expressed their affections for him, but he rarely replied, breaking their hearts.

His attitude was the same for her, and she couldn’t stop comparing herself to every other girl he rejected.

Even now, standing back, she noticed a girl approaching him with a letter in her hand, and seeing him accept it from her made her heart race.

She believed her heart would drop to her stomach for a second, but a voice snapped her out of her reverie, and she jumped to glance to her side.

“Don’t worry, she wouldn’t stand a chance.” Tiffany patted her shoulder as she continued to glance at the people in the distance.

Eveline was perplexed, but then she followed her line of sight and saw the girl walk away in tears.

The relief washed over her, and she sighed with happiness.

Tiffany was only a classmate until one day, when she jumped in to shield her from several bullies who tried to molest her.

It was still unclear how her journey was influenced by those surprising people who appeared to be less than a local goon.

However, that day, she happened to meet a buddy with whom she could disclose everything.

Eveline had always found herself between having people and not having anyone to talk to.

She wasn’t allowed to let anyone see through her emotions, but Tiffany noticed her staring at the boy she loved.

“W-what are you saying?

It’s not like that.” Eveline hastily looked away, dismissing her remarks with a smile.

“You can lie about me, Eveline, but those eyes that scream love cannot,” she exclaimed, leaving her dumbfounded.

Everyone knew about Eveline’s relationship with the boys.

Their family was close to one another, and so were their children, who shared a cordial bond aside from the one that appeared to be far more than friendship.

Tiffany’s voice was full of confidence, and she couldn’t deny it.

Eveline might never admit it, but she couldn’t deny her feelings for Gabriel.

She had been shameless before Gabriel, making efforts to let him notice her for once, but every time she made a move, it was dismissed as if it had never happened.

Eveline’s defense crumbled, and she sighed in disappointment.

“I was told to be patient with him, but no matter how slow I go, he won’t look at me that way.” It’s as if he doesn’t want to see.

She spoke in a disappointed tone and turned to walk back into the building.

Tiffany nodded in agreement and stated, “Then why don’t you propose him?” Eveline gaped and shook her head, refusing.

“No, I don’t want to spoil things between us.

I want to gradually get to know him and win his heart,” she stated right away.

Eveline’s love for Gabriel was not a one-time feeling, but one that grew over time.

Yes, she would not hide her feelings for him, but she did not want to make things unpleasant between them before Gabriel eventually acknowledged her.

Eveline realized it was a dumb move, but she wanted to take her time and be honest with him.

“Then how about I help you win over him?” Tiffany abruptly stated something, prompting Eveline to frown in uncertainty.

“Why would you do that?” she inquired in response, only to watch her dismiss her remarks casually.

“Because you are my best friend and since I know she is coward in letting the boy she likes to know her heart, it would be great if I push her a little hard to make it work” Eveline smiled at her remark, but she was correct.

Yes, she was a coward, despite having the courage to follow her heart that irrevocably fell for him.

So when Tiffany offered to help her, she decided to take a chance.

She knew that with so many suitors vying for Gabriel’s attention, her heart was constantly at risk of breaking if he chose any of them.

She was a child when she claimed him in front of everyone, but today she thinks about everything before taking a step.

“But what if I fail?” she inquired, fearing defeat.

“But what if you win?” she asked in response, giving her a thoughtful look.

Eveline felt nervous, but she trusted her words.

There was no way she would give up on Gabriel.

“Okay then, help me win him over,” Eveline said, bringing a mysterious look on Tiffany’s face.

‘Stupid Eveline, you think it’s feasible with me wrecking your movements.

Your foolishness will turn out to be victory for me, for Gabriel is exclusively mine.’ *** [Canteen] “If you keep rejecting girls like that, I don’t think any of them will approach you.

Come on Gab, girls swoon over you, and you ruthlessly reject them with a blank look.” Stefan folded the letter feeling sorry for the girl and put it back in the pink envelope.

He had lost track of how many girls had proposed to Gabriel up to this point, but this gentleman didn’t give them a second thought.

Stefan realized Gabriel wasn’t paying attention to him, so he tried to get his attention by saying, “Is it because you have someone in your heart that you don’t want to give any girl a chance?” This time his words did reach his chords, so he gave him a frown.

“See, I guessed right.

So, is it due of Eveline that you go on a rejection spree?

Come on.

“I have seen you sneak glances at her,” Stefan teased Gabriel, but the lad simply stood up and walked away, leaving him smiling.

Gabriel had been very secretive about his feelings for Eveline.

For years, he secretly admired her, unaware of the feelings that grew in his heart.

It began on the day Eveline refused to acknowledge him as her brother in front of everyone and since then there was no stopping back.

He felt it was a childish behavior, her defiant move, but as they grew older, he realized she liked him.

She would stare at him, smile, and even sweetly say his name, which fluttered his heart.

But he was too terrified to acknowledge his emotions.

They grew up together, their parents were friends, and it seemed strange that she would call Stefan brother but not him.

It was evident that she didn’t see him in that light, but what about him?

Was he willing to look at her beyond his friend?

Gabriel had a bad attitude toward women, which never altered since he never looked past their objectives.

Girls would only like him because of his appearance or because he was the son of the college’s owner.

However, some people lusted after him, and that was the only thing that changed his mind about them.

They were young at the time, and he dismissed her acts as foolish, but last year, Eveline surprised him with a romance novel as a birthday gift.

Her actions clearly communicated what she wanted to express, but after reading it, his opinion of her shifted.

‘Did she like him because of his appearance and body?’ The question had been hanging in his thoughts for as long as he could remember, but he couldn’t simply address her.

She was brave at times in expressing her affections for him, but it only made things unpleasant between them.

As he exited the canteen, he noticed the students staring at him with curiosity.

It was startling, yet the stare was the same as usual, save for something strange that he couldn’t comprehend.

“Gabriel, wait” Stefan heard from behind him and turned to see Gabriel rushing towards him.

His eyes caught the chatter the student spread in front of them, which peaked his interest.

“Let’s skip class today.

What do you say?” Stefan recommended forcing a grin, which prompted him to frown.

He quickly directed Gabriel towards the exit, but his phone began to buzz with multiple messages appearing on the notification.

He had to check the buzzing that kept his phone vibrating, and that was why he was being looked at skeptically.

‘I knew Eveline had a crush on Gabriel.

There’s no way they’re just pals, but now she admitted it herself.’ ‘That bitch, why can’t she spare Gabriel?

Does she have to steal every fine looking male in college?’ ‘I am sure she is after him for his looks, but believe me, Gabriel will not bat an eye at her.’ The forum comments were overwhelmed with only one topic: Eveline’s confession to Gabriel, which was leaked with one of their private images.
