Chapter 199 The Heartless Gabriel Edwards

"Whose phone number is this?" Gabriel Edwards asked with a puzzled look.

Although he asked, he probably had a guess already!

Zoe just mentioned Angela earlier. Could it be the number left by that young lady?

Zoe explained, "A few days ago, Angela specifically came to Silverwood to find you and even went to the hospital!"

"After finding out you hadn't returned, she left in deep sorrow."

However, before she left, she left her phone number, saying that if you ever returned, you must call her back.

A few days ago, Angela went to the hospital looking for Gabriel Edwards. But at that time, Gabriel had not returned.

Angela was very disappointed, as if she had lost her soul.

After leaving her number, she left, but she was recognized by people in the hospital.

Paparazzi, reporters, and fans flocked to the scene!

The hospital was surrounded, creating a huge commotion.

Holding the note, Gabriel looked puzzled, "Why is she looking for me? Did she really fall for me? But I really didn't do anything to her!"

He raised his right hand, making a swearing gesture to Zoe, fearing she might misunderstand.

"In my opinion, Angela doesn't have the bad temper and hypocrisy of other stars. She's a simple girl. And for a girl, it's normal to admire a hero! You have saved her many times, so it's only natural for her to have feelings for you," Zoe laughed.

"Don't make fun of me!" Gabriel said with a bitter smile, "But Zoe, you're right. Angela doesn't have those annoying traits of big stars, but she's a simple person."

"However, she's a bit naive and simple-minded. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been deceived by the company to sign a servitude contract and almost be treated as a plaything by Alonzo Garza."

"Ah, forget it, I won't call. I don't want to get too involved with her."

He's a self-respecting good man and would never be swayed by a woman's charm.

Just as he was about to tear up the note, Zoe stopped him, "Don't tear it, just return the call. It seems that Angela really has something to tell you."

After Zoe said that, Gabriel stopped tearing the note.

He stood up, glanced at the phone next to Zoe's pillow, and said with a smile, "Zoe, my phone got wet, and I haven't had time to buy a new one."

"Gabriel, take it and use it!"

After handing the phone to Gabriel Edwards, Zoe picked up her physics book and started reading again.

Originally, he thought of going outside to make the call, but to avoid any misunderstandings with Zoe, Gabriel just walked to the window.

Then, he dialed the number written on the note.

"Hello? This is Gabriel Edwards!"

After the call connected, Gabriel immediately identified himself.

"Gabriel Edwards?" Angela's surprised voice came from the other end, "Thank goodness, Gabriel Edwards, you're not dead. I knew you wouldn't die. How could someone as amazing as you die?"

Angela was incredibly excited, almost to the point of tears.

She had learned some information about Gabriel Edwards from Dominick Parker, returned to Sapphire Peaks to handle some personal matters, and then specifically went to Silverwood to find him.

However, she received news that Gabriel had not returned from the sea at all.

At that time, there was only one explanation: Gabriel might have been in danger.

She was deeply saddened but left her phone number with a glimmer of hope.

A miracle happened. Gabriel was indeed alive and called her back.

"Alright, calm down!" Gabriel said with narrowed eyes, "You asked me to call you back, is there something you want to talk about?"

"Yes, there's something!" Angela quickly composed herself and excitedly said, "Do you know? I've resolved the servitude contract with my company!"

"Eh? Congratulations, but it seems to have nothing to do with me," Gabriel said with a wry smile, suddenly feeling puzzled.

How could these ruthless companies let Angela go?

Although it was strange, he didn't voice his question.

Gabriel Edwards's somewhat indifferent attitude made Angela feel a bit disheartened.

However, she still maintained her smile and said, "Well, it's not clear over the phone. I'll come to Silverwood tomorrow to see you and tell you something in person."

"Eh..." Gabriel Edwards felt a headache coming on. He glanced back at Zoe and declined, "I'm glad you could break free from the company's control, but we just met by chance. You don't need to take to heart the things I've done for you. So, you should go about your business and not come."

He didn't understand why Angela was so insistent on seeing him.

Could it be as Zoe said, that the act of heroically saving her made this woman fall for him?

But he really wasn't interested in her.

Women, often too troublesome, would only affect the speed of his blade draw.

The four beauties of Silverwood alone were enough to give him a headache!

He definitely didn't want rumors with a big star, which would be the end of his peaceful days!

So, he preferred to avoid meeting Angela.

No, it would be best if they never met again!

"Do you really hate me that much?" Angela suddenly said, her voice tinged with tears.

Gabriel Edwards's attitude truly hurt her.

Seemingly misunderstanding something, she hurriedly explained, "Alonzo Garza didn't touch me, and I've never been played by anyone else. I'm still a pure girl, I..."

"Stop!" Gabriel Edwards quickly interrupted Angela. How did this conversation get so off track? What's all this nonsense?

He said helplessly, "You definitely misunderstood. I don't despise you at all. It's just that we originally didn't have much in common. So, in the future, we should each go our own way without bothering each other. You understand what I mean, right?"

The lotus root may break, but its fibers remain connected and dead ashes can reignite!

He knew this principle well, so he had to be heartless once and for all, to completely dispel Angela's inappropriate thoughts about him.

"Oh, I understand now!" On the other end of the phone, Angela's tears streamed down.

Gabriel's indifference was like a knife, stabbing her painfully.

"Alright then, I'll hang up now!"

Seizing the opportunity, Gabriel quickly hung up.

After hanging up, he hurriedly returned to Zoe's bedside and gave back the phone.

"How was that, Zoe? I can completely withstand the test of beauty!" Gabriel felt good about himself.

Zoe, however, sighed softly, "Gabriel, it's better not to start. Once you start, with your charm, you won't be able to stop."

"If you hadn't fallen for Ava Foster and Stella Turner in the first place, today I would have advised you to peacefully become a monk!"

"But now that the door is open, I'm afraid it can't be closed!"

"So, you don't need to be so heartless to Angela. Having a superstar girlfriend isn't a bad thing!" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Eh..." Gabriel was a bit stunned and said with a wry smile, "Zoe, how did you learn to tease me like this?"

Perhaps, unknowingly, he had already violated the precept of lust!

But sometimes, when charm is released too fiercely, he can't be blamed.

Zoe smiled gently, turned her book again, and said no more...
