Chapter 119: Will you calm down?
"I don’t believe you, Mom," Gabriel said coldly, his sharp gaze fixed on the Queen. "You’ve always broken my trust. It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me where Amelie is. I’ll find out myself."
He turned on his heel, ready to leave, but Mabel’s voice stopped him.
"Grand Solis Hotel," she revealed. "That’s where Amelie is."
"Son, don’t work yourself up," Raidan added gently, hoping to ease the tension brewing between mother and son. "Tomorrow’s a big day and we don’t need arguments now."
At that moment, Casaio stepped into the room, just back from escorting Amelie and her family.
"She left a message for you," Casaio said, offering a small smile. "She told me to tell you not to feel frustrated in her absence. And... that you can always talk to her on the phone."
Trying to lighten the atmosphere, he looked around and added, "Anyway, let’s have breakfast. Mom, Dad, where are my other two siblings? I don’t see them."
Gabriel’s shoulders eased slightly at Casaio’s words. Without saying much, he gave a brief nod and excused himself.
Climbing the stairs to his room, he pulled out his phone, and his heart skipped when he saw a message from Amelie waiting.
Without hesitation, he tapped her name and brought the phone to his ear.
The call was answered on the first ring, as if she’d been waiting for it all along.
