Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2808

Gabriel and Georgia were sitting together. A few people approached to offer toasts, but seeing the two of them in conversation, they decided not to interrupt.

Gabriel leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed. "Why aren't you with Mr. Quintin?"

Georgia shook her head faintly. "We haven't seen each other in so long, yet we still fight the moment we do. We must have been enemies in a past life, carrying our grudges into this one."

She had been genuinely moved when she first saw her father that morning after so many years apart. He was older now, not as stubborn as he used to be. For a moment, she had thought that maybe she could let go of the past and spend some time with him.

But that thought was quickly shattered. He might be older, but his personality was just as rigid and arrogant as ever, and now he was completely wrapped around Evelyn's little finger.

If Evelyn wasn't her daughter, she didn't even know how this whole mess would end.

"Fighting?" Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "About Sylvia and Evelyn?"

Georgia wasn't surprised by his insight. She poured herself another drink and gave a slight, mocking smile without saying a word.

"I'll handle Sylvia," Gabriel said. "Evelyn's little tricks won't hurt her. You don't need to argue with Mr. Quintin over it. He's already made up his mind and sees Evelyn as his granddaughter. The way he protects and dotes on her just shows how guilty he feels about you and Nana."

Georgia slowly nodded, realizing he had a point.

"But… I feel nothing for Evelyn. If she were my daughter, even after twenty-some years apart, we should have some kind of connection. But when I look at her, I just can't see her as my Nana."

Gabriel's expression flickered slightly. "The DNA test is happening soon, isn't it? Everything will be clear then."

"Yes," Georgia agreed. "At this point, the test is unavoidable."

She looked up and smiled. "And we can't let Estelle's good intentions go to waste."

"She was Mr. Quintin's student, and he always looked after her. It's the least she could do," Gabriel said with a faint smile.

She had to admit, Eugene was a handsome, distinguished man, and he and Sylvia made a striking couple.

She looked back at Gabriel with an amused expression. Was he really as composed as he claimed to be?

As she found the situation amusing, a question popped into her head. "Weren't the Winters family kicked out of the wedding?"

"They didn't kick Eugene out," Gabriel replied. "Everyone knows he and Sylvia are on good terms. Asking him to leave would have embarrassed her."

And he knew, deep down, that Eugene was different from the rest of the Winters family. He had some integrity, at least.

Georgia looked at him, almost in awe. "Your broad-mindedness is truly impressive."

Gabriel accepted the compliment, but inwardly, he was fuming. If he had known Eugene would have the audacity to approach Sylvia again, he never would have shown him that courtesy.
