He Only Married Me For Revenge

Chapter 40: Stay with me

Madi's POV:

I saw Gabriel coming from the mini-bar, the moment Aunt Morgan asked me the question which I wasn't expecting the most.

"Madi, how many boyfriends have you had, before you met Gabriel?"

I was taken aback by her sudden and blunt question.

"Morgan! That's a personal question, you shouldn't ask her that. That's rude!" her husband was also shocked by what she asked.. well actually, all of us.

"It's okay Uncle James, it's not a big deal." I said smiling.

"Hi love." Gabriel seated beside me and hold my hand. "What's that.. what is not a big deal?"

I looked at him and Aunt Morgan repeat again her question.

"I was asking Madi, if how many boyfriends she has had before you came into her life?"

It really gets more awkward, now that I can feel Gabriel's eyes on my face and his hold in my hand's tightened. It feels like someone is asking me if I am still a virgin in front of him.

"Actually Aunt Morgan, I've never been in a relationship before-----"

"As in never?" Nancy cut me off.

"Yeah, I mean never." I shrugged but tried my best not look on Gabriel's face.

"So, that means.. Gabriel is your first boyfriend?" Aunt Morgan's eyeballs almost popped out from its sockets.

I bite my lips as I nodded awkwardly.

"You're so damned lucky, Gabriel!" Nancy exclaimed with a higher voice.

"Nancy, your language!" her father glared at her. And before she could react, we heard Greg's laugh. He also comes from the mini-bar.

"Yes, Nancy's right. Gabriel is indeed lucky for having Madi in his life." he smirked at Gabriel and I can't help not to raise an eyebrow. I now glanced at Gabriel just to see him with the same smirk as Greg's have.

And I gasped when he suddenly lifted me up and put me on his lap. He wrapped his hands around my waist and gave me a peck on my lips.

"Yeah, I am so lucky to win your heart. And I won't ever let you go no matter what happens, I won't let those men who wants to take you away from me. You're just mine and will always be mine." he said looking to my eyes. He kissed me before he glanced at Greg and smirked.

I gulped and widened my eyes. Why do I feel that there is something happening between the two of them? Based on their exchanging of smirks and strange looks to each other, Gabriel seems not pleased by Greg's sudden appearance while Greg seems to enjoy Gabriel's annoyance.

"I believe in Greg." we all turned to Mr. Wilsons who's seriously looking at his son. "You're indeed lucky son for having Madi in your life. I hope you'll always appreciate her efforts, give her time and love that she deserves. Take care of her, son."

This is the second time I heard Mr. Wilsons give his advice about 'how Gabriel should love me and take care of me'. Does he know the truth? Or we're just both being paranoid because of lying to them?

"Of course, Dad." he said seriously that you cannot even hear a hint of lie on his voice.

I don't know how many times I let out a heavy sigh, since I came out here in Gabriel's room terrace. I suddenly want to be alone and think of everything.

Am I wrong or I am just a fool? I remember the day, I saw Gabriel in the mall, stealing glances on his ex-girlfriend. I laughed at him and I called him 'stupid and the biggest fool I've ever met, for following her, for hiring someone to monitor her and for hoping that one day she will ever come back into his life.
