Chapter 318: You and Eveline are sisters.
Eveline abruptly pulled away from Gabriel’s embrace while he kept his hand around her, and silence descended upon the space.
He could sense conflicting feelings in her eyes.
Eveline, like him, was taken aback by the revelation that she and Ella had the same father.
Eveline inhaled deeply, feeling uneasy in her heart.
“How d-did you?” She was unable to speak since her mind was still processing his words.
But as soon as Gabriel drew her in and kissed her head, she closed her eyes and focused on slowing her breathing.
“Stefan told me.
The reason behind this is still unknown, but I felt compelled to share it with you.” Gabriel remarked, watching her gaze up at him.
Eveline was intrigued by how calmly he handled the issue while she was going wild deep inside.
“I have no idea what to say,” she answered helplessly.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked aside, not allowing him to see them.
“Take your time.
I understand it’s too much, and you’re doing your best not to let the news ruin your mood.
But promise me you won’t let it influence you so much that you close yourself down.” Gabriel had noticed how Eveline tried to conceal her true emotions.
Even though she smiled and behaved normally, there was still a conflict that she couldn’t hide behind her smile.
Her eyes would speak volume and he was way too good at reading them.
Eveline closed her eyes and let her mind steady. “I never felt that man was a dick who impregnated every other lady he wanted.
I dread thinking about his blood running through my veins and how strongly I want to slit it until there is nothing left.” Gabriel could not let her finish her sentence and seized her chin.
His gaze lingered dangerously over her face before settling directly into her eyes.
“Say that again and I will make you realize who you belong.” Eveline’s heart shuddered at his words.
The way he talked made the small hairs on her body stand in fright, and an inadvertently trembling breath left her lips.
“Will you say that again, not again; will you even think of it?” Gabriel inquired, staring deep into her eyes.
Eveline bit her lip and gently shook her head.”No,” she replied, and his grasp on her chin relaxed, but he continued to caress it, putting his thumb close to her lips before slowly leaning forward and kissing her.
The kiss lasted a minute, leaving Eveline breathless, but it didn’t prevent them from looking away.
It was as if she was entranced, unable to take her gaze away from him.
“Do you want to eat something?” he said with a lick of his lips, and she nodded.
“Yes, I want to eat you,” Eveline said brazenly, causing Gabriel to giggle and drop his head back.
Eveline furrowed her brow as he responded, resting her arm on the seat’s headrest and leaning her head on her knuckles.

“That was not a joke, mister.
You awakened my need, and now I am starving.” Gabriel’s smile wavered, and he peered outside.
“We are in the campus parking area, and do you see the students out there, They will defintely noticed something strange going on here, because you won’t stop screaming under me.” Eveline’s face turned scarlet with embarrassment, and she slapped him on the chest.
“Shameless,” she mumbled, turning to sit properly in her seat.
She went back to being quiet.
However, Gabriel was fast to distract her.
“Have lunch with me,” he offered, holding her hand in his.
She nodded as they drove off to a nearby restaurant.
**** [Inside the VIP booth] “Are you going to fill your stomach just by staring at me?” Eveline looked up to see that Gabriel had not yet eaten the food.
All he did was stare at her.
“Can I eat you instead?” he asked, echoing her earlier words, prompting Eveline to choke on her food.
She took a look at him and noticed him smiling.
“Don’t you dare make fun of me,” she admonished before continuing to eat her fill.
“By the way, I have already arranged for your internship.
It’s up to you when you want to join,” Gabriel inquired.
“You appear to be eager, but I’ll let you know right away that I don’t have much of a reason to attend college.
But before that, when are you going to offer me a treat?
Your graduation party is still on hold.” Even though everyone knew Gabriel and Stefan were going to pass their finals, the anxiety lingered, and when the results came in as expected, all they could do was proudly display their talent.
“Ask your brother.” Gabriel stated, “He has always been out of reach,” and her smile faded as she remembered his earlier statements.
“I would like to, but I won’t spare,” she said half-heartedly.
**** [Hayes International] Stefan spent the entire day unable to fully focus on his task.
He still couldn’t see why his father would want to go with the deal they proposed to Larson’s organization even before Jedrick entered the scene.
It was like entering the lion’s den, not knowing if you’d make it out alive or if your life would be for nothing.
But he couldn’t object to his father’s decision because he had more experience than he did.
However, something made him wonder why he would want to cooperate with Jedrick.
It was soon time to depart, but Stefan refused to leave his seat, instead staring blankly at the computer screen.
“I believe we should alter the specifications of the Apollo Mall project.
The design still doesn’t seem to appeal to me,” Ella said as she began to pack up, but Stefan’s lack of attention grabbed her eye, and she furrowed her brow.
“Stefan, I am talking with you.” She raised her voice slightly, breaking his spell and leaving him dazed.
“Did you say something?” he said, pointing to himself, and she rolled her eyes in disbelief.
“Is there anyone else with whom I could talk?
Of course, I was talking to you, but you appear to be preoccupied with your thoughts.
It’s been going since you returned and met your father.
Did something happen that caused you to think so much?” She questioned, moving around the table and to his side.
Her concerned eyes stared at him, causing him to sigh as he wrapped his arm around her waist and rested his cheek on her tummy.
“I thought Dad would refuse to continue with the deal we proposed to the Larsons, or at least I thought I would be able to persuade him to change his mind, but he appears to have made the decision, and I am not pleased,” he added, laying his chin on her stomach and looking up at her with those doe eyes.
Ella paused for a moment before cautiously putting out her hand to caress his light golden hair.
“Then you should trust your father because he never seems to be wrong about his decisions,” she stated matter-of-factly.
Marcus was not someone who made mistakes at work.
He was either for it or against it; there was no in between.
Stefan closed his eyes and clutched her tightly.
“I’m trying because I already told him this would be the last project we’d work on with them,” he whispered, burying his face in her tummy.
Ella giggled.
“Stefan, it’s ticklish,” she said, and he backed away, a smile spreading over his face.
“Now, come on.
Let’s go home,” she urged, caressing his shoulder, and he shook his head like a spoiled child.
“I don’t want to leave you,” he muttered, and she placed her arms around his neck and kissed him.
“But we have to because we can’t stay here too long or we’ll get stuck inside,” she whispered, noticing a playful gleam in his eyes.
“That’s an even better option,” he grins, only to get slapped on the cheek in response.
“Stop being cheeky, and let’s leave,” Ella replied, seizing his hand and tugging him out of the office.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Stefan handed Ella her helmet while grabbing his own and putting it on.
They haven’t ridden a bike together in a long time, so Stefan decided to offer her a ride today.
Ella threw her arm around Stefan as he started the bike and they rode out of the premises.
She expected Stefan to take her home, but he picked another route, leaving her curious as to where they were going.
While she was debating, their vehicle came to a stop in front of an ice cream shop.
“You wanted to eat ice cream?” she inquired, unknowing that he craved it in the middle of nowhere.
“Yes, and you’ll wait for me.I’ll be quick,” he responded, placing his helmet on the bike and leaving.
Ella continued to stare at Stefan, who quickly returned with the ice cream in his hands and offered it to her.
They began to relish the experience as they leaned against each other on the bike.
“There is something I want to share with you,” Stefan said abruptly, drawing her attention away from the ice cream.
