Chapter 380


    Gabrielle, dressed in an alluring yet cute pale pink nightgown, leaned against the kitchen doorway as


    she watched Elijah cooking. They said a man who could cook is the sexiest, and Elijah was truly a sight


    to behold as he was so handsome!


    Gabrielle even considered bringing him back home, fooling around with him for a few days.


    Feeling the gaze of an onlooker, Elijah became slightly annoyed but ignored her.


    “Hey! I’ve been standing here for ages. Didn’t you notice me?” Gabrielle’s voice was yful, pouting.


    Elijah continued chopping vegetables, pretending she was invisible.


    “You’re so rude! I’m the guest and the Nicholls family’s heiress! You’re just a servant kept by Nana in


    the mansion. How dare you ignore me?”


    Gabrielle felt a bit aggrieved. She had always been pampered and cherished, yet Elijah dared to


    disrespect her so openly!


    Elijah paused in his chopping, his voice icy as he said, “My only master is Sheena. Apart from her, no


    one else can boss me around.”


    “Hey!” Gabrielle had never encountered a servant with such a proud attitude and found it hard to


    ept.


    “Why can’t I give you orders?” She walked toward the kitchen, deliberately tipping the freshly heated


    milk that Elijah had prepared for Sheena onto the floor, looking arrogant.


    “Apologize to me! I want you to talk to me softly and gently, just like how you treat Nana! Otherwise, I’ll


    tell her that you spilled her milk, and she’ll punish you!

    Elijah red at her with an ominous aura. Then, he angrily knocked over the empty ss, shattering it


    and scattering broken ss pieces at Gabrielle’s feet.


    She jumped, fearing the ss might cut her slender legs.


    Elijah gave her a cold nce and continued preparing breakfast.


    Gabrielle, on the verge of tears, eximed, “How dare you treat me like this!”


    She rushed forward, ready to take matters into her own hands.


    Elijah’s gaze turned cold and menacing as he tightened his grip on the knife. He


    thought Gabrielle was simply unreasonable and foolish. Moreover, since she was Nathaniel’s sister, he


    was ready to take her life if she dared to touch him!


    Before he could make a move, someone else grabbed Gabrielle’s wrist from behind


    She turned to find Sheena, and her eyes instantly reddened.


    “Nana, he’s bullying me! He even tried to injure me with a ss! Although he’s handsome, he’s worse


    than those men at the barst night!” Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful. “He’s bad and


    disobedient! Nana, you have to help me punish him!”


    Sheena did not release Gabrielle’s wrist and nced at Elijah. She smirked and asked, “She says


    you’re bad and disobedient. Do you agree?”


    She was curious to see Elijah’s reaction.


    Would he explode in anger or indifferently ept the me?


    Facing her piercing gaze, Elijah set aside the knife, washed and dried his hands, and approached her,


    gently holding her other idle hand.

    His eyes were slightly red, and he looked like a victim. “She tried to boss me around, but I only listen to


    you.”


    “I’m obedient and well–behaved. I don’t know why she’s falsely using me…”


    Gabrielle’s confusion was evident.


    What on earth was going on? This was not part of her n!


    Why was this man better at pretending than her?
