Chapter 96: Like to accompany me
"It wasn’t a conversation," Amelie corrected him calmly.
Gabriel gave a slow nod, his gaze narrowing slightly. "And you ended up roasting Kate too," he remarked. "She’s the one who gave your number to Jodie, didn’t she?" His brow arched in suspicion.
"I think so," Amelie admitted with disappointment. "You once said your siblings weren’t what they pretended to be. I thought Kate was different. I thought she was kind and nonjudgmental. But I was wrong." There was a trace of regret in her voice, but it was clear she had already accepted her mistake for trusting too easily.
Gabriel’s expression softened, his sharp features easing as he took a step closer. "What happened?" he asked, his eyes gently searching hers for the truth she hadn’t yet spoken.
Before Amelie could answer, a firm knock came from the door, followed by Albus’s deep voice. "My lord, your meal is here."
Gabriel let out a sigh, then turned back to Amelie. "We’ll talk later," he said gently before heading to the door.
Albus bowed respectfully upon seeing the Alpha Prince and gestured to the maid, who quietly entered and began setting the table for them. The room was filled with the soft clinking of dishes as the maid worked efficiently, placing the meals carefully.
Once everything was in place, Albus nodded subtly and exited with the maid, leaving Gabriel and Amelie in peaceful silence.
"The noodles look delicious!" Amelie exclaimed with a spark of delight in her voice. She picked up her chopsticks and began eating, clearly enjoying the food.
