Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 346
Chapter 346: A confession Chapter 346: A confession There was a lot for Sherlyn to take in.
Kaden’s remarks were incomprehensible to her.
‘What does it mean to go out with me?
As in pals or as in-‘ But before Sherlyn could make a decision, her phone rang, interrupting her stream of thoughts.
She promptly let go and took her phone out of her bag.
Her eyebrows furrowed as she read the name.
“I have to answer this call,” she excused herself.
“Yes, Nicole,” she replied. Kaden stood off to the side, watching her.
He was shocked at how openly he had asked her out, but he had yet to hear her response.
There was something about this girl that drew her to him, and he was delighted that after all these years, he still had the chance to pursue her.
As he considered her confirmation, his lips curled up.
Kaden was interested if she had someone in her life, and when she said she didn’t, he didn’t feel the need to hold back.
“Okay, yes,” Sherlyn said on the line for a few seconds before hanging up.
She turned back to find Kaden admiring her and smiling.
It was funny, but the way he stared at her caused her heart to race.
They were in their mid-thirties, yet she acted like an adolescents.
She gingerly pushed the phone back into her bag, a sense of uneasiness coming in as she decided to break silence.
“W-why are you staring at me like that?” she inquired, hardly looking at Kaden.
Sherlyn felt it was unusual.
She had never been so nervous in front of him, not even when they were casually talking.
But now she felt a little apprehensive because Kaden’s reactions mirrored hers.
“What is wrong with me staring at the woman I just asked out?
Yes, there could be an issue because she hasn’t responded to my confession.” Kaden complained dramatically, leaving Sherlyn apprehensive She could feel her chest swell as she fought to organize her thoughts.
Sherlyn had no idea why she was taking so long to ponder when she had been yearning to be with him for years.
And when she realized it, she squeaked.
“Yes!” her previously guarded emotions changed, entirely blooming into a moon that had just emerged from the cloud.
Kaden’s smile widened, and he couldn’t help but draw her into a hug.
Sherlyn was caught off guard, but everything quickly felt normal.
The warmth of his body allowed her to relax, and she slowly placed her arms around him, leaning into his touch and savoring the moment as they stood under the dim streetlight.
**** Gabriel and Eveline had barely entered the house when they noticed his parents sitting in the living hall with Jonathan and Erna.

“I wasn’t expecting you both to be here.” Gabriel spoke out in amazement as he approached the group.
Eveline greeted Richard and Belle before sitting down next to Gabriel on the couch.
“We have to because we can barely find you at home,” Richard said with a phony outraged expression that only made Gabriel scoff in return.
“We met at work, dad,” he added, letting out a dry chuckle.
They had a meeting back at the office, so he was well aware that this was not the situation.
“Stop fooling around, Richard.” Belle patted her husband’s hand, telling him to quit playing with the kids.
“By the way, we came to meet Jonathan and Erna.
It has been a while since we caught up,” she said, putting the matter to rest.
Jonathan shook his head, smiling as his pal pouted like a child.
“And, where is Danny?
Don’t tell me you left your kid at home,” Gabriel inquired, noting that his brother was not present.
They were like a family of four that would always get together at Miller or Hayes’ house.
So it was unexpected not to see his sibling.
“Oh, that lovesick fool is busy handling his love life,” Belle waved her hand, dismissing the worry over her younger son.
“What!
Daniel has a girlfriend?” Richard inquired, stunned by the declaration.
Gabriel exchanged glances with Eveline, who pursed her lips into a fine line.
“Obviously he does.
You actually believe his lies when he claims he studies all night.
Come on, Richard; you did the same with your folks so we could talk every night.” “You two did that?” Eveline surprisingly inquired.
“Why, do you both also do that?” Belle gaped discovering another aspect of her son’s love life.
“Mom, every couple does that,” Gabriel exclaimed, sensing the awkwardness around him.
“No, we didn’t.
I used to sneak into Erna’s room at night,” Jonathan declined, surprising everyone.
“You did what?!” Eveline was stunned, but soon everything began to make sense.
Is this why he never objected to Gabriel sneaking into her room at night?
He did the same for Mom….
Erna hides her embarrassment by hitting Jonathan on the arm.
“Stop being shameless.
Kids are nearby,” she muttered.
“Anyway, it is not the case here.
Who is Daniel dating, and how come you never told me?” Richard ended all other conversations and faced his wife.
He was still complaining about his wife keeping such an important thing from him.
Belle rolled her eyes, finding her husband annoying at the moment .
She had no intention of listening in on her son’s romantic night talks, but she ended up hearing them.
“Gracey,” she said, putting a stop to his anguish.
Richard blinked.”Gracey is the one who studies in your class,” he remarked, pointing to Eveline.
His eyes narrowed and he asked a question.
“Did you two knew about it?” Eveline gaped as Richard hurled those remarks at them.
She turned to face Gabriel, who seemed as calm as ever.
“We did,” he responded, leaving his father’s mouth agape.
But suddenly he started laughing.
“Ha, this boy who was shoving his eyes while playing video games has finally decided to look around.” Richard let out a relieved breath since he had feared he would become completely absorbed in his video game consoles.
“You should also be happy because Gracey was able to help Daniel focus on his studies,” Gabriel said, confirming the fact.
The lighthearted talk continued for a while before he gradually moved on to more serious topics.
“Have you talked with Marcus regarding the project with Jedrick’s company?” Richard asked.
Jonathan sighed.
“No, I did not.” I have been caught up with some personal work that requires more of my attention right now.” “Personal work?” Belle inquired.
“Yes, I’ve decided to pursue therapies,” Jonathan stated, surprising Richard and Belle.
