Chapter 597: Glances
Gabe glanced at Autumn with a puzzled frown before turning his eyes back onto the road. She seemed to be troubled, her gaze distant and posture tensed. He’d tried asking her but received a non answer.
At first, he could not help but wonder if this was because of what had happened between them. Was she uncomfortable now that she’d had time to accept that he was not gay. Did she see him as a threat.
He knew that she’d definitely tried to talk to someone from the Frosty girls. So, she must have been bothered. And then Seb had probably teased her... he’d already received the information from him. But even Seb had mentioned that she’d not sounded worried about it.. Embarrassed yes... but not scared.
So, what happened between her speaking to Seb and him about the happy news and then this morning. She’d even tried to get out of going with him while just early this morning, before coming home, she’d seemed eager to see everyone in the family. This tension emanating from her worried him.
He wanted to push her to tell him everything. However, a single glance in the rearview mirror told him that he needed to be quiet for now. If they were going to have an argument, then the little girl should not be listening to it.
"Keep your eyes on the road instead of the backseat," Autumn snapped making him glance at her with narrowed eyes. What was this poisionous tone for?
Sigh!At this rate the drive back to the city was going to be really long...
Arabelle seemed to have noticed her older sister’s tone too and she asked happily,"Mister Gabriel, did you leave your toys everywhere? Is that why Auti is angry at you?"
Gabriel smiled at that and rolled his eyes," Miss Arabelle, I most certainly did not. I have no idea why your sister is angry at me. Can you help me ask her?"
