Chapter 171: Expect me to forget
"You always get me wrong," Casaio pinched the skin between his brows while leaning forward, thus no longer taking the support of the desk.
Gabriel caught his collar tightly, catching him off guard. "You should’ve told me the truth. I hate it when you and Nick mess with me like this," he said.
Casaio held his fists, asking him to calm down. "Listen to me first before turning so aggressive," he said.
"You’ll preach and take the side of our mother again. You never dared to raise your voice against her. Instead, whenever she did wrong Dad, you and Nick asked me to stop. It annoys me more than anything. And then, you all expect me to forget everything from the past," Gabriel said, his eyes staring deep into his brother’s.
"Gabriel, are you inside?" Amelie’s voice came from outside as she lightly knocked on the door. The door clicked, but before she could see them arguing, Gabriel had moved away from Casaio while Casaio was smoothing his collar.
"I—I came to tell you something—" Amelie began. Her gaze shifted between the two brothers, sensing that she had interrupted something significant.
"I’ll excuse myself," Casaio said curtly. He brushed past her without another word.
Amelie stepped aside to let the eldest prince through, watching him disappear down the hallway before turning back to Gabriel.
"Did something happen between you two?" she asked gently.
