CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

 

Xavier came to the hospital with a few things and food for her.

He hated the hospital because it brings back old memories but somehow he was willing to compromise for that little woman.

For the last four days he had been by her side and neglecting his company yet she dared to say he didn’t care about her?

He walked into her room with a poker face and found her in a seating position.

Gabrielle was once again proven wrong when she saw the fresh clothes and few dishes packed in a basket.

Without saying a word he began serving her but no matter how she sees it, she couldn’t forgive him for trying to involve her in a battle that has nothing to do with her.

After serving hers and putting it in front of her he moved away without a word unknown to Gabby he was really trying to hold back his discomfort.

“I’m going to make arrangements to have you moved to the mansion I don’t find it convenient here.” He finally spoke but Gabby ignored him.

“Great! Also make arrangements for our divorce too.” She said with a straight face.

“You can hate me all you want but I’m sorry to disappoint you there be any divorce. No amount of resentments and cold shoulder could possibly make me divorce you. Get that into your stubborn head.” He said in cold tune.

“Fine do whatever you want. You can as well ki*ll me already not that you have feelings for me anyway. A cold heart would always remain a cold heart.” If wasn’t gonna let her go she was gonna attack him with her words.

“Indeed.” He said and walked away after instructing his guards to watch her.

Few days later Gabrielle had been brought back to the mansion for further treatment but unfortunately the couple were as cold as ever.

Gabrielle would always say hateful things to him but he won’t budge.

She’d bed ridden for days and wasn’t allowed to walk around freely and this made really frustrated.

Today she was bored of staying on the third floor so she decided to come down and have a chat with the chef.

“Oh my goodness you shouldn’t be in her ma’am.” The chef adviced the moment she caught sight of Gabrielle walking into the kitchen with a bottle of water.

“I was bored so I decided to come check on you.” She smiled sweetly and Mrs Tina couldn’t find it in her heart to say no to young miss of the mansion.

“Okay then please take a seat over thereqa while I quickly wip something for you. Lord Xavier insisted you never miss your meals.” Mr Tina suggested and she immediately pulled out one of the kitchen chairs and sat down totally ignoring the part she said Lord Xavier wanted her to eat her meals.

 

“Could you tell me about the young master? I mean what his childhood was like.” She let her curiosity take over.

Mrs Tina heaved a sad sigh and sat down beside the young miss.

“Well you might not know this but the young master never had a pleasant childhood, in one night he every single member of his family in the most horrible way. We the servants were the only family he got left while growing up. He use to be bright kid too but after that incident he became cold for his age. He might seem cold and ruthless on the outside but in reality he is just a lonely person, so please don’t give up on him yet because I can see you guys ain’t happy with each other.” Gabrielle felt a tug on her heart and couldn’t start to imagine what he must’ve gone through.

 

“Hmm. How did they die?” Her eyes had become teary as she felt really bad for him.

Mrs Tina stood up immediately and went back to her cooking.

“I’m sorry but I can’t tell you that for only the master can give you answers to your questions.” Gabrielle could the hesitation in her voice she instantly concluded that it was a really sensitive topic for all of them.

“It’s okay I understand, thanks for sharing this with me.” Gabby was glad she got to know something important about it.

Yes she might be mad at her mom for lying to her about her biological father but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love her.
