Chapter 250 - 250: Ever Since Six Years Ago, He Had…
Gabriel faintly hummed an acknowledgment and took off his suit jacket. The butler took it to be hung on the hanger.
Sulia Silver knew that he was coming back today, so she had been waiting for him on the sofa watching a variety show. But when she saw that he was back, she did not show any joy. “If I hadn’t called you, would you have come back to see me?”
He unbuttoned his cufflinks as he walked to the sofa. He sat down on the armchair next to Sulia and gently said, “But I’m back, aren’t 1?”
Sulia knew that he was busy with work, so she didn’t mind. Suddenly, she remembered something and carefully asked, “A woman answered the call yesterday.”
Gabriel’s gentle face remained calm and indifferent. “Yes.”
Though Sulia wasn’t satisfied with his answer, she couldn’t ask any more direct questions. She simply observed his expression and tactfully said, “Other than Caleb, you have never let anyone else touch your phone.”
“The people from the secretariat are new and insensible.” Gabriel crossed his legs and leaned back against the sofa. He pulled his tie off and threw it aside. The butler stepped forward to fold it away neatly.
Sulia didn’t push any further. After all, it was common for new employees to be ignorant.
Gabriel had been back for a few minutes, but he did not see Keith Jones. He asked, “Where’s my dad?”
Sulia knew he didn’t like to watch variety shows like this, so she picked up the remote control and changed the channel. “In the study upstairs.”
Gabriel was busy with work all day and rarely returned to the old mansion so he decided to accompany Sulia to watch television for a while before returning to his room to take a shower.
When it was time to eat, Gabriel came down and saw Keith and Sulia already seated at the dining table, he followed them in and greeted his father. The butler pulled out a chair for him and Gabriel took his seat at the dining table.
The servants were still placing the dishes on the table when Ketih said, “1 met Aunt Ruth’s daughter a few days ago. She’s twenty-four years old this year and looks slender and elegant.”
Aunt Ruth’s original name was Ruth Johnson and she was Sulia’s former university classmate. They had met a few times when he was young, so Gabriel still remembered her. “1 remember she married the CEO of a certain company.”
“It’s Jack Sawyer from Sawyer Group.” Keith nodded as he spoke.
Wasn’t Aunt Ruth’s daughter Linda then?
Aunt Ruth had been nice to him when he was young, but for some reason, Sulia had stopped interacting with her long ago. Why were they in contact again now?
Gabriel finally understood why he had been called home today.
“If it’s because of ‘that’, don’t call me again.” The sound of a chair scraping against the floor echoed throughout the quiet dining room as Gabriel stood up and walked toward the coffee table. He took the car keys and a servant hurriedly took his coat to be handed to him. Gabriel took his belongings and left without looking back.
Sulia was about to follow after Gabriel when Keith’s deep voice came from behind her. “Sit down!”
Sulia looked at his sullen face and could only obey. Then, she gave the butler a look who ran after Gabriel. “Young Master, how about leaving after dinner.”
But Gabriel did not stop in his tracks. He continued to open his car door before getting in. Then, he spun his car around before driving away.
The sound of the car engine made Keith’s face turn purple with anger. Sulia said, “Don’t push the child too hard. You know that ever since six years ago, he…” The rest of her words turned into a sigh..
