Chapter 231-240

Chapter 231 – Nickname
Evie fought for calm as she stood resolutely before him, her eyes flashing, and her fists clenched tightly at her sides. It was such a rare sight to see Zanya actually cowered before anyone like this. She could feel Zanya’s extreme fear that she could not even utter a word anymore nor even make a single move.

Thankfully, the rage and danger shining in his eyes softened the moment Evie walked in front and blocked Zanya. Evie remembered that Gavriel was always like this. Whenever he was raging, he would immediately mellow down whenever she steps in. This was definitely Gavriel as his responses were even the same, and therefore the confusion within Evie kept growing.

Tiredness also suddenly swept over her. She was tired of keeping up the pretences of being all tough and strong. Now that she had found him, she thought that she could finally lower her guard and confide in him and stop acting all tough even just for a while. But with him being this way, it seems as though she had to keep holding on and maintain her fa?ade. But for how much longer? She did not know. All she knew now was that she did not have the time to relax yet. Because she had another important thing to do now and that is to find out what was going on with her husband and what had happened for him to be behaving this way. And those electric blue eyes of his, too.

Taking a deep breath, Evie set aside all the emotions threatening to burst out from inside of her.

“Why…” Evie tried her best to swallow the tears. She had to even clench her fists as hard as she could to stop herself from jumping on him and hugging him. “Why are you doing this?” she asked, unsure if that was the right thing for her to ask at this moment. She was not prepared for this. Even if he was indeed possessed, this person’s body still belonged to her husband. She could not let her guard down just because she was afraid that she might lose herself and go to him before she even realised it.

“Why? Because they are trying to stop me from getting to you.” he uttered in a low voice, now taking a step closer. But Evie took a step back in response. However, what she did made him halt in his steps. His icy gaze became even colder if possible and Evie shuddered slightly within as she locked eyes with him.

That one step back was all Evie could do to put distance between them. She must not let him touch her nor get close to her, not until he returned to his normal self. She must stop listening to her heart for now because no matter how much she reasoned out all the things she felt and observed, his actions right now, especially towards his men were solid evidence unto themselves. Her Gavriel would never, ever, harm these men he had spent so much time with. So, there was no way that he would ever threaten to kill them just because he thought they were useless.
