Chapter 543: Gabi's Boyfriend?
Chapter 543: Gabi's Boyfriend?
All she could see was the gold and scarlet autumn colors, a bewitching art of nature. Surrounding them were leaves and the cold breeze of the upcoming winter.
"This place is beautiful."
"I know. I used to sleep here."
"But this isn't developed?" This place is just like a forest. There were no houses nearby. Since they were currently standing on top of a small hill, she could see the view of the city.
"Ah, this is private property."
Gabi nodded. She didn't ask him about the owner of this property, as she felt that Aden wouldn't tell her, anyway. For a few minutes, she just stared at the ocean of leaves and the view of the city. This place looked really great and since it was located in the north, there should be a lot of snow during winter. Luca would have loved to stay in this place. "I want to live here."
Aden said nothing.
It took her a few seconds to realize that he was no longer standing by her side.
"Aden?" Turning her head around, she saw the man comfortably lying on a mat under the tree. He looked like he was sleeping. "Huh?" Walking towards him, she realized he was indeed sleeping. This man how could he sleep in a place like this?
Then she recalled how Aden said that he just came back. "A pillow?" Aden had a pillow? She slowly sat next to him and immediately realized that the mat is soft. This one felt like a bed? How is this possible? Does this mean that he had a bead and a pillow in his car? Does he love camping so much?
Looking at the man's comfortable posture, Gabi sighed and stared at the vast sky. Isn't it nice to have this ability to sleep anytime, anywhere, and not think about anything else? This kind of life was too good to be true. Gabi waited for about an hour before she decided to wake the man up. It was already four in the afternoon and the Sutton mansion is about an hour away from this place.
Gabi didn't want to miss the special dinner that she asked the head maid to make.
"Dinner? I was trying to eat some lobster in the capital. Why do you need to go home?" Aden grumbled. With traffic, driving towards Sutton Mansion would take him more than an hour. Meaning, it would take him about three hours in total to travel back to the capital.
Three hours of just driving is just too much for his weak body!
"Why don't you just have your dinner in the mansion?"
"Are you inviting me to have dinner with you?"
Gabi frowned. This man she couldn't understand him. "Never mind, I will take a cab."
"Hey, I was joking. Joking. Let me take you home. I am quite hungry, so tell them to prepare a lot of food."
Gabi nodded. Nonim already prepared a lot of food. She even asked her to make the chocolate cake that her son loved so much.
After more than an hour, the two arrived at the mansion. Seeing Gabi with a man made everyone speechless.
This was the first time that she had a man accompanying her around!
Was it a date?
Is this going to be Gabi's boyfriend?
"I didn't know that you are having a date with someone."
Gabi froze when she heard Alfons' voice. She looked at the man who was approaching them. Alfons' face was already flushed. She could smell a hint of alcohol around the area. "Why are you here?" Gabi asked.
"Is that how you treat your brother after not answering my calls for days?"
"I am busy."
"With this man?"
"I don't think that is your business. Brother!"
"Hah. And you still call me, brother? Are you really treating me like a brother?"
Gabi scoffed and continued walking. "Sorry, you have to see that."
"Ah? No problem. Nonim, please take Aden to the patio at the back and prepare dinner."
"Yes, young miss. Sir, please follow me."
"Gabi are you ignoring me?" Alfons asked. "Why are you acting like this? You even invited someone like that into our house?"
"My."
"Excuse me?"
"My house."
His jaw dropped, speechless. "Gabi, how could you say that? I get that you are mad because of what happened, but are you really going to forget the fact that I am your brother because of some other people? We grew up together. How could you just forget that because of what Harry did?"
"You are drunk. Please leave the house."
"Gabi"
"I have the right to invite anyone in my house."
"Are you really going to act like this because of that damn maid?"
Gabi said nothing. She just squinted her eyes at the man as she wondered why he was drinking. Was it possible that the Quiglys didn't help him? Or was he trying to appeal to her pity?
Gabi snorted. In the past, she would get extremely concerned if her brother would end up drunk. When Alfons is drunk, he would always throw some tantrums, cry and just become a different person. At that time, she didn't even think that he was just pretending. At the end of the day, she would immediately know that someone was troubling him. Obviously, she would always help him.
"Who is that man? You didn't even tell me that you are seeing someone."
Gabi rolled her eyes. "Why are you here?" she asked.
"I just want to see you."
"Now that you already saw me then you can leave. I don't want to see you."
"Is this because of Harry?"
"You are blaming someone else because of your scheme? The only reason why I am still calling you brother is that I have small respect left for you. After all, you were my only friend when I grew up alone in this house." Gabi narrowed her eyes. "But that is the only thing that's left between us. You tried to scheme against me, brother. Did you really think I would be that dumb to believe your words now?"
"Gabi, I didn't know anything. I swear that Harry is just using my name! The Sealey Family wanted to ruin our relationship simply because he was jealous of me."
"..." What?
"You don't believe me? How could you doubt your own brother?"
Should she just slap him in the face?
