Chapter 500
Chapter 500:
Gabriela saw through Loretta’s intentions but couldn’t bring herself to say no.
Besides, she had already declined once before at Loretta’s residence, and Stewart had made his dislike abundantly clear.
She resolved to behave naturally.
Truett nestled in her arms as Gabriela savored her meal, pausing regularly to offer him tiny portions.
Surprise flickered across Stewart’s face.
He hadn’t anticipated Tessa’s child forming such profound attachment to Gabriela.
His observation spilled forth unbidden. “Gabriela, you seem to really love kids p>

“Children possess such innocent charm. How could anyone resist loving them?” Gabriela responded.
Stewart’s smile deepened with sincerity. “You’ll undoubtedly become an extraordinary mother someday. The man who wins your heart will discover himself blessed beyond measure p>
Knowing glances passed between Loretta and Miriam. Even the typically oblivious Farley grasped the implication behind those words.
Everyone at the table recognized Stewart’s genuine attraction to Gabriela with crystal clarity.
When he addressed her, his attention never wavered, his gaze radiating tender intensity.
Furthermore, his gaze lingered on the dishes that had captured her preference, as though committing her tastes to permanent memory.
This observation strengthened Loretta’s matchmaking resolve to steel-like determination.
Following dinner, Gabriela employed dishwashing duties as her shield against Loretta’s suggestion that she spend intimate time conversing with Stewart.
Stewart settled onto the sofa, maintaining pleasant dialogue with Loretta while updating his social media presence.
He posted three carefully curated images — one showcasing a living room corner, another capturing his own reflection, and a final shot displaying their abundant feast.
His caption read: “She welcomed me into her home, gifted me new clothes, and prepared a feast for me p>
He restricted the post’s visibility to carefully selected individuals.
After publishing, he worried that his intended audience might neglect checking social platforms regularly, so he dispatched a direct message to Wesley.
“Please view my most recent post p>
At that precise moment, Wesley remained anchored to his office domain.
Stewart’s message arrived like an unwelcome visitor, and Wesley’s initial instinct whispered to ignore it completely. Yet some mysterious compulsion guided his fingers to Stewart’s social media feed.
Recognition struck him like lightning — the first photograph belonged unmistakably to Gabriela’s sanctuary.
Inexplicable turbulence erupted within Wesley’s chest.
Hadn’t he explicitly warned her to maintain distance from Stewart?
Why was she now extending dinner invitations and opening her home to him?
Then Stewart’s comment materialized beneath his post like a poisoned dart. “If I pour every ounce of effort into winning her heart, might victory be mine p>
Wesley’s grip threatened to pulverize his phone entirely.
Wrestling with volcanic rage, he bolted toward the bathroom and unleashed frigid water against his burning face.
The winter liquid bit through his skin like crystalline daggers, penetrating to his very marrow. Yet internally, Wesley endured the sensation of molten metal searing his soul. Each time his eyelids descended, vivid scenes materialized — Gabriela and Stewart sharing tranquil moments, their contentment radiating like captured sunlight.
Wesley silenced the flowing tap and confronted his reflection in the mirror.
Message from Noa: Hope you have a great Tuesday dear readers, God loves you and Noa wishes you all the best. p>
