Chapter 49: Not going back, Dad
While Amelie was freshening up, Gabriel called Lester upstairs. In the corridor outside the bedroom, Lester stopped upon seeing the prince. He bowed to him in a polite manner.
"Who called David here?" Gabriel questioned.
"I have no idea, Sir. Mr. Conley looked worried and said that he had been searching for his daughter for a few days," Lester replied.
"Say the truth, Lester," Gabriel said, taking a step toward him. "Who called David to the palace? Was it the Queen?" His first doubt was on his mother. No one other than her would dare call David. She was the one who always loved to ruin his happiness.
"Sir, if I knew, I would have told you," Lester said, lowering his eyes. He was slightly trembling in fear, thinking Gabriel might take out his anger on him. However, it didn’t happen.
"Leave," Gabriel commanded before walking back into the room. His wolf growled, and he turned restless. His mother had crossed every limit to have him infuriated. *I never mentioned Amelie’s surname to the Queen. Then, how did she find out it was Amelie Conley?* he thought.
Gabriel immediately mindlinked with Casaio.
’Did you tell Mom about Amelie?’
Casaio, who was in the shower room, got flustered for a moment when Gabriel’s voice reverberated in his head. He turned on the tap, letting the foam wash off with the water.
’No. Don’t forget Mom is ten steps ahead of everyone here,’ Casaio replied.
Gabriel clenched his fists, breaking the mindlink immediately.
