AUTHOR'S POV
Sydney looked at Gabriel.
She said wearily. " Twenty million is a lot of money, Gabriel, especially for you; where would you have gotten the money from if I had asked you? You are barely making ends meet and I wouldn't want to put any trouble on you. "
Gabriel had nearly blown his cover. At that moment, he wished to tell her who he was maybe she'd consider him and stop rejecting everything she gave him.
Gabriel released a small breath and said meekly. " I would have gone out and begged. Blake wouldn't mind helping you, and Alfred wouldn't either. You have a lot of people who care about you and would have helped you if you had just asked."
Sydney couldn't stop the tears from coming. There were many options, yet, she could only think of Gavin at that moment. Gavin's dad would have helped her.
God, how could I be so stupid? Sydney cried. She let what Gavin had said affect her so badly that she gave up on her mother and waited to hear she was dead.
