There was an uncomfortable stillness at the table. There were now four chairs at the table, and one was staring at someone while the other two hid in shame.

"Let's leave," murmured Gabriel to Eveline, embarrassed. His palm clutched the hem of her sleeves like an innocent kid seeking only to escape.

"By the way, Miss Sherlyn, how do you know my uncle?" Eveline snatched his hand away. Her eyes were drawn to the lady in front of her.

"We went to the same university," Kaden said, capturing Sherlyn's anxious gaze. His jaw clenched all along.

"Is that so? but how did you connect" Eveline disregarded Kaden's somber glare and continued to converse with Sherlyn.

Through her observation, she could tell that this lady indeed had affections for her uncle, and vice versa. They were, nevertheless, thinking about it.
