Chapter 38
Arnold was acting so mysterious. Ava did not know what he had or up his sleeve
Arnold said, “Ava, you’re amazing! How do you know Mr. Anderson He even managed to get Carson to help. This time, Mr. Burgess and his wife will finally have peace of mind and can go ome
Ava replied. “Will you believe me if I told you I didn’t know about
“Is there anything else? If not, I have to make a move first
Arnold said, “All right. Go ahead. You’re a student, so it’s good that you take your studies seriously.”
As Arnold said that, he reached on to stroke Ava’s head.
Ava subconsciously drew back and dodged his touch.
Arnold stopped his hand in mid–air and awkwardly scratched his nose.
Ava was distant and tended to keep everyone at arm’s length. Despite that, everyone in their social circle loved her.
She was like a boy, Ava had a straightforward personality, was unpretentious, and was a woman of her word. In private, everyone thought that if Ava acted coquettishly, she would be pretty cute.
However, none of them had seen that side of her yet.
Ava returned to Gabriel’s side and said, “Let’s go, Gabe.”
Gabriel told Carson, “So I’ll leave this matter to you. If you lose, you can forget about coming back to Windvale.”
Carson said, “If I lose, I will leave the legal industry.”
He spoke in a lofty tone of voice.
Gabriel parked his car in front of a restaurant and said. “Let’s get something to eat first.”
“Sure,” said Ava.
Both of them headed inside to find a seat.
There were a few ladies at the side. After the women caught sight of Ava and Gabriel, they were drooling over them.
“My goodness! That man is so handsome! The girl is also a stunner! I wonder how they’re related to each other?
“They should be siblings, I guess. I heard her address him as her brother.”
“In that case, do you think we should go over and ask him for his WhatsApp!”
The girls thought they were discussing in low voices, but Ava’s hearing was superb.
The sound of their voices also traveled to Gabriel’s ears.
However, one of the girls suddenly said, “Td advise you not to become infatuated with him. Haven’t you heard of a saying?
Mon, Jun ZU
Chapter 38
In recent times, a man and a woman may appear to be siblings, but in actual fact, they share the same bed”
Upon hearing that, the girls started to giggle.
Ava choked on the water she had been drinking when she heard them saying that.
A crimson blush ruse on her face.
Her mesmerizing eyes were watery, and there was a faint blush the corners of her eyes. Her pinkish face looked like a peach blossom. She was absolutely adorable!
“Ava?” Gabriel turned to look at her and grabbed a napkin.
His voice was gentle and low.
Gabriel held out a napkin in front of Ava.
His fingers were long and slender with distinct jaints.
Gabriel was not only handsome, but even his hands were
Ava was in a daze when she noticed that.
It was rare that Gabriel would see Ava acting like this.
She’s quite adorable,” he thought.
“You’re always so clueless like this Gabriel asked.
attractive.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Gabriel could not resist teasing her
He had a cat previously. Regardless of whether he was in a good or bad mood, Gabriel would tease
amusement. This was how he felt now.
Ava recomposed herself and looked at Gabriel
She was clueless?
How could it be?
She had quick reflexes, a good memory, and picked things up fast…
Ava did not know how to answer Cabriel and inadvertently pursed her lips.
Following that, Gabriel also realized that he probably should not have said that.
Ava was still a young girl, but his tone sounded a little flirtatious
He looked around and caught sight of those girls who were currently looking at them.
Gabriel merely causally swept a glance at them, but those girls felt their breaths caught in their throats
Damn. This was a very dashing young man.

Chapter 18
They blushed furiously with a single glance from him.
Gabriel had uptured eyes, so his every casual movement seemed to be seductive
to take this call”
Suddenly. Ava’s phone rang. She glanced at her phone and said, Gabe. I’ve got to
Gabriel nodded and watched as Ava walked out.
It was indeed a little noisy in the restaurant.
Gabriel noticed that Ava’s cup was already empty, so he refilled her cup for her.
Suddenly a shadow cast over him from above. Gabriel thought that Ava was back and looked up. Initially, a hint of a smile graced his face, but his face turned cold and aloof when he saw who it was.
That girl’s cheeks were flushed. When she met Gabriel’s cold gaze, her heart did a little flip in her chest. However, she still wanted to try since she was already there.
“Hello, Sir. Can we exchange our WhatsApp contact?” she asked.
“No. thank you,” said Gabriel.
He rejected her outright.
“W–why?” that girl asked.
Gabriel looked up at the girl and stared at her with a half–smile. There was something bewitching about him as he answered. “Because you aren’t my type.”
The smile on the girl’s face vanished after she was rejected so clearly by Gabriel.
She did not have the courage to continue pestering him and quickly left.
herself in it.
When the girl returned to her seat, she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to dig a hole and bury h
“I’ve already told you that someone like this will have high expectations of their partner” her friends said.
“I feel so embarrassed!” the girl wailed.
Ava was done with her call, and when she turned back, she saw the girl hitting on Gabriel.
She walked back and sat down, staring at Gabriel with her hands on her cheeks.
Gabriel lifted his brows.
Why was she staring at him like that?
He asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Someone asked you for your WhatsApp earlier, right? How brave of her! Did you give her your WhatsApp: I think that she’s quite pretty,” said Ava
There was a curious look in her eyes.

Chapter 38
Gabriel stared at her with a deep gaze and reached out to flick forehead.
“Ouch!” Ava exclaimed. She quickly covered her forehead and stared at hirm accusingly.
Why does Gabe always like to flick my forehead?” she thought, annoyed.
Gabriel did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Stop overthinking things. Focus on your studies. Don’t get into at relationship yet.”
From the way he spoke, he sounded exactly like a parent.
When Ava heard that, she looked down.
Her eyelashes were so long and thick that they were like fans.
It was so refreshing. Having lived two lives, finally, someone would advise her to focus on her studies and not get into a relationship.
She did not experience that before in her previous life.
“But what does it feel like to like someone romantically?” she wondered.
When Aya looked up once more, she had a docile look in her eyes as she stared at Gabriel “All right, Gabe. I’ll focus on my studies and won’t get into a relationship yet. I’ll listen to you.”
If Joshua were there and saw how obedient Ava was behaving, his jaw would drop in astonishment.
If Arnold, Matthew, or the others saw that, they might think they were seeing things.
Gabriel met her clear gaze, and somehow, his Adam’s apple bobbed.
He wanted to say something, but Ava added, “Why don’t I adopt you as my older brother? That way, you’ll become my brother!
Ava wondered
if it was her hallucination, but she felt Gabriel’s expression freeze.
She was a little puzzled. “Did I say something wrong?” she wondered.
“Become your brother?” Gabriel slowly repeated these words.
Maybe it was her mind playing tricks on her, or perhaps Gabriel did not articulate his words clearly, but for an instant, Ava heard the term “boyfriend instead of “brother.”
