Chapter 298
Meanwhile, at the Moonlight Pavilion..
After the dishes were served, Gabriel attentively cut the food into smaller pieces for Violet,
making it seem like she was usually being mistreated by someone else.
When Gabriel saw Violet was eating wholeheartedly, he could not help but smile and stare
at her.
Then, Violet looked up and saw Gabriel’s slightly bewitching and sinister smile under the
light in the private room. Coupled with the amethyst on his ear, it made him feel
even more attractive.
She raised an eyebrow while eating. “Why are you staring at me like that?”
Gabriel smirked and said, “Vivi, do you think I’m handsome?”
Though Gabriel’s smile seemed casual, he felt a bit nervous inside.
Before, he had only fallen halfway.
But ever since Violet saved him, he had completely fallen for her.
Although he usually did not care about anything, he was very serious and cared about this
relationship.
Violet felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by Gabriel like this. She couldn’t help but
glare at him. “Don’t try to show off your charm like a peacock spreading its tail. It’s
distasteful!”
Gabriel seemed a bit aggrieved. “Vivi, you scolded me!”
Violet looked at him coldly. “How did I scold you?”
“You called me an animal!” Gabriel looked at her with a somewhat profound gaze.
Violet rolled her eyes dismissively. She said, “Well, humans are technically animals.”
Upon hearing this, Gabriel burst into laughter. “Vivi, don’t glare at me. The more you. do,
the more I like you!”
Violet nearly choked on the food she was eating.
She managed to swallow it down with difficulty and looked at Gabriel. She was utterly
exasperated. “Gabriel, what the hell did you say!”
Gabriel laughed playfully. “I’m being honest. You look even more beautiful when you.

glare at people!”
Violet didn’t know how to express her current feelings. She sighed and said, “Something
must be wrong with your brain!”
Gabriel looked steadily at Violet. “My brain is fine. I’m just speaking the truth.”
Violet gave him a glance but didn’t say anything.
Gabriel was not annoyed. He said with a smile, “Vivi, do you know what the most
satisfying thing in the world is?”
Violet looked at him, her eyes flashing. She asked, “What?”
“Of course, it’s when your love rival ends up together with someone else other than your
crush!” Gabriel smirked.
Violet was utterly confused. “I don’t understand what you’re getting at.”
Suddenly, Gabriel picked up his phone from the table and handed it to Violet. “Take a
look!”
Violet’s eyes froze on the photo.
The photo was posted on Instagram by Riley. In the picture, Riley was beaming with
happiness, while Patrick looked cold and collected, creating an unusually harmonious
scene.
Riley had simply captioned it with, “Happy!”
Violet’s hand instinctively clenched into a fist. She suddenly felt like breathing was
becoming difficult, and it was getting hard to catch her breath.
It felt like someone had suddenly grabbed her heart with their hand, suffocating her.
She subconsciously bit her lip, and even the color seemed to drain from her lips.
Seeing Violet’s intense reaction, Gabriel felt a twinge of discomfort.
How much did she really like Patrick to be this upset?
But even so, he couldn’t allow Patrick a chance.
Putting aside his feelings for Violet, he was initially suspicious of Patrick’s character.
Gabriel looked directly at Violet and put away his phone. He continued with what he had
said earlier. “Vivi, I know Patrick likes you. So, he’s my love rival for your affection!”
Violet closed her eyes. In her mind, all she could see were pictures of Riley and Patrick.

She felt that she was not calm at all. She made a lot of assumptions in her mind just
because of a mere photo, which was so unlike her.
She should believe that Patrick wouldn’t have anything with Riley. He explained it before.
However, when she thought of Patrick’s attitude today, she was a little uncertain.
Violet shook her head, feeling lost and a bit sad. “You’re mistaken. He doesn’t like me.”
If Patrick truly had feelings for her, he would not have initially advised her not to harbor
any unrealistic hopes, nor would he have outright denied it when she asked if he
liked her.
Gabriel took a deep breath and gripped his hands tightly. He was somewhat nervous.
He stared at Violet intently. After a moment, he asked, “Alright, let’s not worry about. what
he thinks. I just want to tell you that I like you, Vivi. Do you believe me?”
Violet was stunned. Then, her emotions started to get out of control. “Gabriel, don’t make
such jokes just because you don’t get along with Patrick!”
Gabriel frowned deeply. His expression was unprecedentedly serious. “Violet, this isn’t a
joke! What are you avoiding? Am I not as good as Patrick?”
Violet’s expression turned a bit unpleasant. She stared at Gabriel for a long time and then
closed her eyes. She tried her best to speak calmly. “Gabriel, I’ve been married to Patrick.
It’s been over three months now. We even got the certificate. So, Gabriel, please don’t like
me. If you want, we can still be friends. If you don’t want to, then so be it.”
Violet’s expression was serious. After saying this, she seemed somewhat relieved.
Gabriel’s face completely froze. His voice sounded somewhat panicked. “This can’t be
true. Are you joking with me? Vivi, don’t joke about something like this!”
Violet opened her eyes and spoke seriously, “Gabriel, do you think I’m joking?”
Gabriel couldn’t hold back. His emotions erupted. “Then why didn’t you say anything? It’s
been over three months since you got married. Why didn’t I know anything about it?
Violet, do you still consider me a friend?”
Violet looked at Gabriel somewhat helplessly. Her voice sounded apologetic. “I’m sorry,
Gabriel. When I first met you, I had already registered my marriage with Patrick. I do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconsider you a friend, but I made an agreement with Patrick to keep our marriage private.
So, it’s not just you, but many of our friends don’t know I’m married to Patrick.”
Gabriel stared at Violet, his gaze penetrating. After a moment, he let his arms drop with a
sense of resignation. “Alright, I understand. You can go now. I need some time alone.”

Chapter 298
Violet pursed her lips. Before leaving the room, she expressed her feelings. “Gabriel, if
you’re angry because I didn’t tell you about this, I apologize.”
With that, Violet left the private room.
After leaving Moonlight Pavilion, Violet felt physically and me ntally exhausted. She hailed
a random taxi and gave the location of Hersey Court.
During
the ride, she opened the car window and let the cold wind clear her mind a bit.
When Violet returned home, no one was in the house. It was then that she remembered
Riley’s post on Instagram. Patrick was probably with Riley right now. It was none of her
business.
Violet went upstairs to wash up. When she came out after washing up, it was already
almost eleven o’clock.
She took out her phone absentmindedly and opened her Instagram. She kept scrolling
down.
When she saw Robert’s post, she froze. She stared at the photo of Patrick, whose
expression didn’t look too good.
asked
Violet suddenly understood why Patrick had her if she was available today. And
when she told him she had plans with Gabriel, he inexplicably got angry and ignored her.
This was the truth!
Presumably, Riley’s photo was taken at Patrick’s birthday party.
Violet felt like she was a bit absent-minded. She should have asked a few more questions.
After all, for someone as stubborn and proud as Patrick, inviting her on his own must have
been difficult. He probably wanted to bring her directly.
Violet took a deep breath. She dialed Robert’s number directly. “Mr. Foster, where are you
guys right now?”
