Chapter 32 Say One Thing When You Mean Another

Gabriel looked around the apartment that was so simple to the point that it was shabby, and he frowned. "We're a married couple," he said, landing his gaze on her once again. "I'm staying here starting from today." Emily crossed her arms, her eyes filled with a sneer. "Ms. Waverly is still waiting for you at the hospital, yet you came here instead. Are you not afraid she'll be sad?" As soon as she said that, he pulled her in with a powerful force, slamming her into his firm chest. The cool yet domineering scent of cedar, which belonged to Gabriel, enveloped her in an instant. He grabbed her waist with one hand and stroked her back slowly with the other. The heat of his palm burnt her skin through her thin clothes, making her feel numb. His thin lips neared her ear, his breath hot. "Why must you say one thing when you mean another? You obviously look forward to my coming, but you keep pushing me toward Amelia. Do you think I'll spare you a second glance if you do this?" he asked.
