Chapter 587: Demetri
Gabe sighed as he washed the dishes and heard Arabelle prattle on about Demetri. Autumn had already left for work, and since Arabelle was with him, she’d been talking continuously about Demetri...much to his exasperation. While he was amused that his brother had left such an impression on Arabelle, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. It reminded of the time ’that’ Arabelle had talked about Demetri nonstop as well. It had bothered him then but he’d been confident that he could handle it.
But this little Arabelle. Like hell he was going to lose this little sister to that Demon. Drying his hands on a dish towel, he placed them on his hips and turned to Arabelle, teasing, "Demetri this, Demetri that. You know, Miss Arabelle, there are other interesting people in this house too."
Arabelle giggled, her eyes twinkling with merriment. "Oh, Mr Gabriel, don’t be jealous. Demetri just has so many fascinating stories. But you will always be my favourite... Even though you did get lost in your own neighborhood once..."
Gabe stopped and stared at the little girl.. That backstabber Demon! He had many fascinating stories to tell about him!
"Did Demon tell you that?"
Arabelle nodded," Yes! He said you got lost because you were being chased by a little dog and trying to escape."
Gabe frowned," Little dog! Did that Demon tell you how pointy the little dog’s teeth were? And that my brothers and him and put the little dog’s favourite treat in my pocket?"
Arabelle’s eyes widened with surprise, and she burst into laughter. "No way! He didn’t tell me that part!"
Gabe crossed his arms and leaned against the counter, a playful smirk on his face. "Of course he didn’t. He conveniently left out the part where he and the others brothers set me up. They thought it would be hilarious to watch me run around with that tiny terror nipping at my heels."
