Chapter 81: Give us a chance, Amelie
"Why are they here?" Amelie murmured, lowering her gaze as she turned anxious.
Gabriel glanced toward the unexpected visitors and replied gently, "Your mother tried calling earlier. When she couldn’t reach you, I suppose she decided to come in person."
Amelie shook her head slowly in disbelief. "But I cut all ties with them... I made it clear. I don’t understand why they’d still show up."
"I can meet them on your behalf," Gabriel offered gently. "And let them know you don’t wish to see them, if that’s truly what you want."
Amelie was confused for a moment. But then she straightened herself with a determination flickering in her eyes. "No... I think I’ll see them."
Gabriel nodded. "If you’d prefer to speak privately, I can have a room prepared for the three of you. My siblings are here, and I suspect they might inform your parents if they overhear anything."
"That would be perfect," Amelie said, feeling grateful. "And... I’m sorry for causing such a scene. I didn’t mean for things to become so complicated."
Gabriel reached out, taking her hand reassuringly. "Don’t apologize," he said softly.
He led her down the hallway toward the living room. Samyra and David rose from the couch the moment they spotted Amelie walking in with Gabriel. As they came to a stop in front of them, Gabriel’s gaze briefly flicked to Albus.
