He Only Married Me For Revenge

Chapter 29: It's my heart that speaks

"Sissy, try this one. I baked a chocolate cake."

Nancy offered me a slice of cake.

"Wow! You can bake?" I asked her smiling.

She was about to answer, but her brother speak for her.

"Yes, she can bake. At least she knows how to bake because she can't even cook a fried egg."

"Argh! I hate you, Gabriel! Get out of here!" she shouted on top of her lungs. "If you can't comment something nice, get your ass out of here!"

"Ohh, but what I've said was true. You can't even boil water in the kettle." and he laughed in his carefree laugh, which made Nancy stop in her trance.

Maybe seeing his brother back in his carefree mood, still a surprise for her. She looked at me and then she smiled.

"I've changed my mind. You can stay here brother. You can also eat my cake if you want."

I bite my lips when Gabriel looked at her and scrunched his eyebrows.

"No. Thanks Nancy, but I won't fall for your tricks."

"B-But..."

"Let's go love." he take my hand again.

"No, love. I'll stay with Nancy. I'll help her." I smiled and patted his cheek.

"Love----"

"I'm okay love, don't worry about me. Just go the boys."

"Are you sure?"

"Jesus! She's no longer a kid! And I won't eat your 'love' Gab!" Nancy answered him mimicking his word and rolled her eyes.

"I'm not talking to you. Nancy, I'm warning you, don't ask her with your ridiculous mouth and ridiculous question!" and then he turned to me. "Love, just call me if Nancy made something stupid."

"Whow, Gabriel! She'll just stay in the kitchen! My God, I'm not a beast!"

He ignored her and asked me.

"Love?"

"Okay, okay. I'll call you." i smiled and pulled his shirt's collar and bring my mouth to his ear. "Don't worry love, I won't ask Nancy anything about you."

"Love!"

I laughed at his reaction.

"I love you." I said smiling and I don't know where I get this confident and kissed him quickly on his lips. I saw how he was taken aback by that. And I used that as an opportunity to push him away.

"Go love, I'm okay here."

He just nodded and kissed me on my forehead before he disappeared in the kitchen.

"You know what, sissy? I really want to say thank you." Nancy said when we both left alone.

"Thank you? For what?" I'm confused on why she wants to say thank you.

"For bringing my brother back."

I watched her as she slices the chocolate cake.

"Why? Does he never visit you here in a long time?"

"No, that's not what I mean. Thank you for bringing back the old Gabriel to us. The carefree and naughty Gabriel. Almost smiling, laughing and throwing jokes to anyone of us." she smiled a half.

"Ohh..." I don't know what to say. What should I supposed to say? That we're just acting?

"He'd changed so much after his break up with Stacey. Oh no, the proper words for that was, she left him. My brother gave everything to her, all of him including his dreams. Do you know what his first course in college?"
