Chapter 666:
The young man’s hopeful expression faltered. “You don’t remember me p>
Gabriela gave a small shake of her head.
Wesley’s features tightened, his jaw set with a stormy edge. He knew Gabriela drew attention wherever she went, but with him standing right beside her, did this man think he was invisible?
His grip on Gabriela’s hand firmed as he spoke with deliberate calm. “If you’ve got something to say to my girlfriend, you can say it to me p>

The young man blinked in shock, blurting, “Miss, you changed boyfriends already p>
The air seemed to still around them.
Wesley’s expression dropped into an icy mask, a chilling aura radiating off him.
Before the tension could escalate, Gabriela quickly cut in, her voice crisp. “Stop making things up. I don’t know you p>
The young man fumbled out his phone, thrusting the screen toward her while pointing to a shop across the street. “It was just recently, over there. I was going to ask for your number, but your boyfriend looked like he’d kill me for it p>
He then muttered through clenched teeth, “If I’d realized you switched boyfriends that quickly, I would’ve put in more effort p>
Gabriela was at a loss for words.
The face in the photo was Stewart’s.
The memory clicked. Back when Stewart had arranged for a doctor to treat Myah’s eyes, she’d thanked him with dinner. The two of them, both striking and eye-catching, drew plenty of stares. Strangers kept pestering for their numbers, so Stewart had claimed she was his girlfriend just to shake them off. She never imagined that someone would not only remember that night, but also snap a photo.
“Delete that photo,” Wesley ordered, his voice sharp and threatening enough to make the young man flinch.
The young man squared his shoulders, though his voice wavered. “Why should I delete it p>
Wesley’s eyes turned glacial as he stated, “Do you need my lawyer to explain it to you p>
That single threat drained the color from the young man’s face. Unaccustomed to dealing with such an intimidating presence, he fumbled with his phone and quickly erased the photo.
Not satisfied, Wesley seized the device and scrolled through it himself, making certain not a single image of Gabriela remained before handing it back.
No way would he allow another man to carry around pictures of his woman.
Gabriela saw the fury burning in his expression and dared not say a word. She quickly paid for the skewers, then followed him away in silence.
Even after they returned to the apartment, Wesley’s face remained shadowed and tense.
Gabriela slipped closer, her voice soft and coaxing. “Don’t be upset. It was nothing more than a quick excuse, not the truth p>
“I thought I was the first one you brought to a snack street.” Wesley let out a bitter laugh. “Stewart really outdid himself, pretending to be your boyfriend. No wonder you hesitated to bring me there earlier p>
