Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2183

Sylvia kicked off her shoes and clung even tighter.

Gabriel didn't bother with the lights, carrying her into the master bedroom and laying her down gently on the bed, whispering, "I'm going to take a shower. You lie down for a bit, and no fussing!"

Sylvia's eyes, heavy-lidded and brimming with a watery sheen, obediently nodded.

But not causing a stir just wasn't Sylvia's style. Midway through his shower, she found her way to him.

Taking advantage of her tipsy state, she proudly made him cater to her whims.

Gabriel didn't hold it against her, helped her bathe, and then carried her back to bed.

Sylvia wrapped her arms around him, tumbling together onto the mattress.

Half-draped over his chest, her eyes soft and tender in her inebriation, she showered him with kisses.

Gabriel said, "Weren't your legs hurting? Take the night off. I'm not so overbearing that I'd make you work injured."

The girl, her gaze hazy from the alcohol, looked at him and said, "It's just my legs that are uncomfortable now. If I rest, my whole body will feel off!"

He pinched her chin, his eyes dark and deep, "What will you do after I'm gone?"

Sylvia lay against his chest, her eyes half-closed, murmuring, "I don't know."

Gabriel spoke, "You don't have to do this today."

Her line of work was prone to prejudice, and her actions today, who knew what stories they would spawn?

Sylvia bit her lip, "I don't like it when they belittle you."

He asked, "You think I care about that?"

Sylvia hugged him tighter, protective, "You might not care, but it's my duty to defend you!"

Gabriel's heart skipped a beat, a tingling sensation radiating out like ripples on water.

He chuckled softly, "You're definitely drunk."
