Chapter 43 Free Meal for the Beauty
Gabriel became hesitant after Ava's incident.
After all, he was not a heartless man, but a living person with emotions.
The lonely wolf's path made him invincible.
But what was the purpose of seeking that kind of invincibility?
He was lost.
He was afraid that he had done something foolish, sacrificing the important for the trivial.
Carrying Ava all the way, he thought a lot.
Not until he handed Ava to Mia did his heart with mixed feelings settle down.
But when Ava instinctively grabbed his clothes in her unconsciousness and refused to let go, his heart skipped a beat!
Mia didn't say anything. She just took her sister and turned away.
But when she stepped into the house and looked at her sister in her arms, she couldn't help but scold, "Is it worth it for a man?"
This was an unnecessary question, after all.
Whether it was worth it or not, outsiders would never understand.
They would never understand how terrifying the fear of losing someone you loved was.
So they only saw the unworthiness in the end.
At eleven o'clock the next morning.
Ava woke up sleepily, supporting her groggy head and sitting up.
She was feeling lightheaded.
She opened her eyes in a daze and found in a surprise that she was in her own room.
She started to think back and remembered the drunken madness of last night.
She panicked, having lingering fear, and felt around on her body.
"Awake? Eat some porridge!"
Seeing Ava awake, Mia, sitting beside her to read, put down her book.
She picked up the porridge that had been heated a few times, came to her bed, and sat down.
"Sister, last night... you brought me home?" Ava asked cautiously, instinctively shrinking her neck.
Her sister was stricter than her mother in family discipline.
She had indeed done something wrong this time!
Mia raised her eyes and glared at her, making her so scared.
"Don't you feel ashamed to mention it? You're a girl, but you showed so little concern about protecting yourself!"
Mia scolded harshly, and Ava was also secretly terrified.
If Gabriel had not found Ava last night, Ava might have been... by the three men!
That would be an indelible stain for a woman.
Besides, the incident at Punk Bar had been spread everywhere this morning.
She couldn't imagine that Gabriel could be so ruthless.
He killed the three punks with bare hands.
His ruthlessness was beyond measure.
But the more ruthless and angrier he was, the more it meant that he still cared about her sister, right?
And the outcome of the incident astonished her.
Since the homicide case occurred, the police had shown no intention of arresting Gabriel.
Instead, the bar owner hastily sent away the waiters and announced that the bar would be closed for three months.
It was getting harder to estimate Gabriel's power!
"Ava, you foolish girl!"
At this point, Sophia rushed into Ava's room while cursing.
She didn't say anything to care about her daughter who had just woken up.
Instead, she reproached her with a pained expression, "You broke up with Mr. Gabriel? How could you break up with him? You foolish girl! Why was he angry? What did you do? Get up and apologize
to him! It's still not too late to apologize!"
As she spoke, she went up to grab her daughter's arm.
"Mom, are you really my mother?" Ava shook off her mother's hand and angrily said, "He dumped me. Gabriel, the scumbag, found someone else and doesn't want me anymore!"
As her emotions surged, she felt a pang of pain again!
Sophia was stunned. Gabriel found another woman?
Feeling vexed, she immediately wailed, "What should we do now? We just started cooperating with Apex Bank. What if Mr. Gabriel is unhappy and stops cooperating with our Foster family? Oh, dear lord! Now we've offended the Davis family and broken up with Mr. Gabriel. How can our Fosters make a living?"
Seeing her mother's hysteria, Ava wanted to cry.
Mother only cared about her business. She didn't care about her at all!
This family was becoming more and more devoid of human warmth!
Suddenly, Sophia clapped her hands and turned her eyes as if she had got a different thought.
She came up again and took Ava's arm. "Ava, listen to me. In my opinion, Mr. Gabriel still cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone crazy and killed the three thugs who wanted to assault you at Punk Bar last night. This means he still has you on his mind. Listen to me. Go visit him. Go now!"
Ava was entranced.
Gabriel killed three thugs because of her?
The heart that was already broken suddenly turned warm again.
Excited, she immediately lifted the quilt, ready to rush down.
She had to ask Gabriel about this to his face.
But Mia glared at her and shouted, "No, you're not allowed to go. Lie down on the bed!" Her cold brows quivering, she yelled, "If it weren't for your constant willfulness, could you have caused so much trouble? Before the Punk Bar incident has been settled down, you're not allowed to leave the house. If you dare to leave without permission, you won't be my sister!"
With the yell, Ava didn't dare to move anymore.
Even Sophia was intimidated by Mia's momentum.
Ava quietly pulled up the quilt and sat back down!
...
Celestial Restaurant was a tiny restaurant, where there was only a narrow aisle and six tables.
The restaurant was run by a couple in their fifties.
The old man served as the purchaser and waiter, and the old lady cooked the food.
The restaurant was small, but the food prices were cheap.
And the food was delicious with a unique home feel.
Gabriel often came to this restaurant to eat.
A piece of cheese pasta would make him satisfied.
"Gabriel, is it cheese pasta again today?" the old man asked, cleaning the table.
There were few eaters today, only a driver, a construction worker, and him.
Gabriel took out a pack of Liggett Select and handed one cigarette to the old man. "Marvin, someone is treating me to a meal today. I'll wait and order later!"
Marvin took the cigarette and sniffed it under his nose.
After a glance at the kitchen, he discreetly put it in his pocket.
He sat down opposite Gabriel and said with a smile, "Are you dating a girl and bringing her here to eat? If that's the case, I will give you a discount today!"
"Oh, that's great, Marvin! I've been eating here for three years and have never enjoyed a discount. Now that I have a rumored girlfriend, you dare to give me a discount without telling Susan? Aren't you afraid she'll settle accounts with you tonight?" Gabriel joked.
He and Marvin were old friends, so they often joked around.
"She dares!" Marvin straightened up, his face full of arrogance. "As a man, you must be the head of the family at home. You should be like me in the future, a man who stands tall and firm!"
"Let's put aside standing tall and firm for now. How much of a discount are you giving me?" Gabriel asked with a smile.
In fact, he knew that Marvin was a henpecked husband.
Susan was strict with him, and he was only brave in his speech! All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Marvin patted his chest and said, "It depends on how beautiful your girlfriend is. The more beautiful she is, the lower the discount!"
Just as they were chatting, a stunning woman wearing a black pencil skirt and a white blouse clacked into the restaurant in high-heeled shoes.
The woman was born charming. With her brow slightly furrowed, she looked incredibly beautiful.
Elegant, graceful, mature, sexy, beautiful-only when these words were combined could her charms be expounded.
The driver and construction worker who were eating were both mesmerized.
Even the elderly Marvin couldn't help but swallow his saliva to moisten his dry throat.
Undoubtedly, the woman was Stella. Gabriel raised her right hand and called out, "I'm here. You can't see me even in such a small place, eh?"
Only then did the low-spirited Stella come over.
She had expected the dining place in Gabriel's choice to be a nice restaurant, but it turned out to be such a small nondescript one.
If it weren't for her good eyesight, she would have had trouble finding it.
Marvin got up knowingly, glancing first at Stella and then at Gabriel.
No matter how he observed them, they were not a good match in his eyes. He asked with doubt in a whisper, "Is this your girlfriend? She's amazing!"
Gabriel laughed, "Marvin, how much of a discount are you giving me?"
"How much of a discount?" Marvin said unhappily. "With such looks...you'll have a free meal!"
