Chapter 111: Addicted to your presence
Raidan amusedly glanced at his wife. "I didn’t expect you to say that to Gabriel," he remarked.
"Even I didn’t know I would say that," Mabel whispered.
"Well, Amelie has brought a change in our son. Gabriel wanted to be loved. Kate told me on phone that Amelie is a sweet woman. She didn’t know the man who rescued her the night she was being hunted, was none other than Gabriel. Amelie never took advantage of his status. I hope you give them your blessings and forget the prophecy which always made you so detached with Gabriel."
As Raidan finished those words, he looked forward to Mabel’s response. But she remained quiet.
Raidan reached to her hand and gently caressed it. "Don’t keep such a stoic face in front of Gabriel. He still hopes to see the love of his mother. He may say he doesn’t care for it, but he does. After all, he’s just a child to us," he opined.
Mabel hummed and furrowed her brows together.

Gabriel leaned back on the recliner and shut his eyes. His body was tired and needed some rest. He didn’t realize when the sleep took over him and he fell into a deep slumber.
Amelie returned to the mansion and went straight to his room to check on him. However, as she walked in, her sight greeted his resting body. She found out from Katelyn that Gabriel remained by her side the entire night without taking a single wink of sleep.
