Chapter 633: You Know
Autumn felt her world spin as his words echoed in her head. He knew about Arabelle? But...
"How do you know?"
Gabe shook his head, confused about why she was worried so much..." Seb called me. Autumn, I know you’re worried about Arabelle but she is going to be fine at Seb’s place, you know that too."
Autumn blinked. He thought she was talking about little Arabelle.. not his ex wife. She shook her head,"I’m not talking about that. I... I’m talking about the woman you love."
Gabe stilled then and Autumn noticed the subtle change in him. He’d been leaning against the counter casually until now, but now there was something defensive in his position. "Autumn... She is not..."
Gabe thought back to the conversation he’d had in Ian. After a lot of thinking, he’d come to a decision to come clean to Autumn. He’d been thinking how to bring that up with Autumn but now that she’d raised the topic herself, he was grateful.
The first thing he wanted to tell her was that Arabelle was not the woman he loved. She hadn’t been for a long time. He’d slowly come to accept that. It wasn’t that he’d fallen out of love... just that his heard no longer yearned for her or ached for her. So that love had mellowed...
However, before he could say all this, Autumn blurted out in a single breath," Arabelle is alive."
Gabe frowned, wondering if he had heard wrongly. "What did you say?"
