Chapter 236
The Luna rites. Gabriel had proposed they moved forward with it. And while Lori agreed she was weary of his grandfather. Gabriel was already not close with his family, she suspected she would be making things worse if she didn’t at least try to mend the relationship between them.
“I will talk to grandfather… I called him already.”
Gabriel mentioned at the dining table as he served Lori her plate. Lori was holding Emilia with a bottle in her hand. She was feeding her.
They had woken up early to Emilia’s cries. And even though they were both thoroughly exhausted, Gabriel made breakfast while Lori changed and bathed the
baby.
Gabriel had started the whole Luna rites conversation, asking if Lori was comfortable enough to move forward with it. She agreed. She really was.
Gabriel made scrambled eggs, sausage and toast. He even made a cup of coffee. The eggs were good, only a little bit salty and the toast was overdone. Lori
made no complaints as she ate the food.
She was too exhausted. Myra had texted her shortly after she woke up, she was excited and itching to know what had happened at the Summit. She would
come over later and Lori only hoped she was well rested when she arrived.
“And
what did he say?”
She asked.
“He agreed to meet. He sounded casual… normal. I think everything will go well.”
Lori nodded.
“That’s good. Very good.”
‘Going to work today?”
She asked and he nodded.
“Yes. I have some interviews to do. For the new CEO.”
‘Any options yet?”
Gabriel scrunched his eyebrows.
“They all look good. Went to the best of schools, worked in the best of companies, but I won’t truly know who to pick until I talk to them.”
“Okay, That makes sense.”
‘Don’t be too hard on them.”
Lori added and Gabriel gave her a look.
for h
He intended to be hard on them. It was a hard thing him to do… handing over the reins, but it was what was necessary for the growth of the company. He would only be there to overlook, but he had to pick the very best person to head his company. And it was a serious situation. At least for him.

Chapter 236
‘I can’t make any promises.”
‘I’m going grocery shopping today.”
Lori mentioned shortly after a while and Gabriel sighed.
“I can get someone to help with that…”
He said and she shook her head as she placed Emilia on her shoulder to burp her while simultaneously placing a piece of toast on her mouth.
‘No. I need to do it myself. Walk around, take a break. I’m taking Emilia too.”
She could see the look on Gabriel’s face… she already knew the words he wanted to say.
‘Lori… it’s not safe.”
‘I cannot stay cooped up here forever and believe me it’s not good for the baby. Emilia needs a little sunlight once in a while.”
“But with Sabine out and all…”
Lori rolled her eyes.
“You have to give me a little more credit sometimes. I can defend myself.”
‘I know that. But with Emilia…”
‘Fine then. Get someone to go with us. I’m still leaving with her anyways.”
She snapped. She was slightly pissed. Did he really have no faith in her?
She loved Gabriel, she loved him to death but sometimes he treated her like a child.
It was just shopping. For groceries. Sabine would be stupid to attack in public. And she was training… she would be able to defend herself now.
Besides… she was tired of living her life in fear of the mad woman. They deserved happiness too. They deserved to be free and live normally.
‘Lori..’
Gabriel left his chair and moved behind her, enveloping her in a hug.
I’m sorry if I’m a little overprotective sometimes…”
‘A little?!”
She scoffed and he sighed.
“Okay. I’m sorry if I’m too overprotective.’
‘Continue.”
