Chapter 214 Roasted Meat
"Zoe, sorry for the delay. Have you eaten? I bought some stewed beef!"
When Gabriel returned to Stellar Estate, it was already half past seven in the evening.
He was holding a deluxe version of stewed beef. Suddenly, he smelled the aroma of roasted meat.
Looking up, he saw steam rising from the table, and it turned out to be a delivery of roasted meat.
The stewed beef he was holding instantly lost its appeal.
"Gabriel, Zoe took the SAT today, but you weren't even home!"
Seeing Gabriel come back, Ava immediately stood up and sternly questioned him.
To get closer to Gabriel, she told herself to treat Zoe like her younger sister. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
As long as she won over Zoe, she would surely be able to get closer to Gabriel!
So, taking advantage of Zoe's SAT, she came to show her affection.
But she never expected that Gabriel wouldn't be home.
All her efforts were almost in vain.
Seeing Ava, Gabriel couldn't help but feel a headache.
Had she gone crazy? She was not reserved at all and was too proactive towards him.
He was very speechless. Pointing at the roasted meat, he said, "Zoe has to take the SAT tomorrow. How can you let her eat roasted meat?"
"The gutter oil in the Dragon Kingdom is not just a rumor. If Zoe gets a stomachache and fails the test tomorrow, you'll be the one to blame!"
He didn't even dare to put chili in the stewed beef, but Ava ordered spicy roasted meat for Zoe!
Ava was stunned for a moment as if she just realized why Zoe hadn't had the food from the beginning.
"Zoe, I'm sorry. I didn't think about it and just wanted you to have a good meal!"
Pouting and awkwardly smiling, Ava apologized to Zoe.
Zoe smiled warmly and shook her head. "It's okay. I appreciate your kindness. You guys go ahead and eat. I'll have the stewed beef that Gabriel brought back!"
Gabriel walked into the kitchen and put the stewed beef into a bowl.
After handing the bowl to Zoe, he sat down next to Ava and said, "Wow, there's so much meat in here. It must have cost hundreds of dollars!"
The square table was filled to the brim.
There were six plates of beef and lamb alone!
It was truly extravagant!
As he spoke, he picked up his fork and started eating.
"You said this is gutter oil that will cause a stomachache, so why are you still eating it?" Ava rolled her eyes.
Gabriel casually said, "Don't worry. I'm a professional at having gutter oil. After eating it for so long, I'm immune to the harm. It's okay!"
This statement wasn't a lie, as everyone who frequented street vendors had gutter oil.
As they had it, they became used to it!
"Gutter oil is nothing. I once drank the water from the Dirtiest River, but I didn't even have diarrhea! " Blind John, who was nearby, took a sip of his drink, belched, and said proudly.
"Amazing! " Gabriel gave Blind John a thumbs-up sign and his eyes were full of admiration. "I have to say that you're awesome!"
Compared to the Dirtiest River water on the Southeastern Island, gutter oil was green food!
"The Dirtiest River? I've never heard of it before," Ava curiously asked.
"Don't you know about the Dirtiest River?" Gabriel looked shocked and immediately concluded, "I'm sure you're a terrible student. You probably didn't even pass the minimum score for the SAT!"
"You..." Ava angrily roared, "I actually got into Silverwood University back then, a legitimate first-tier university!"
She didn't mention the year she spent in remedial classes, so as not to be mocked by Gabriel!
"You're so impressive!" After eating a piece of meat, Gabriel laughed and said, "I'll ask you a few basic knowledge questions, and if you can answer them, you're a college student! Let's see if you can handle it!"
"Bring it on. I'm not afraid of you!" Ava had a lot of fight in her. "If I lose, I'll sleep with you tonight!"
"You wish!" Gabriel immediately became anxious and felt speechless. "You're not punishing yourself. That's clearly a reward!"
This statement made Zoe and Blind John laugh.
Only Christopher was innocent and didn't understand!
"Quickly come up with a question!" Ava blinked her big eyes, showing interest.
She wanted to prove her intelligence and academic qualifications!
After eating another piece of meat, Gabriel asked, "Does the Ruler of Heaven live in the stratosphere or the troposphere? Does the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess use AC or DC electricity? Is Sage Erlang's third eye a monolid or a double eyelid?"
Ava, who was originally excited, suddenly pulled a long face.
She pointed at Gabriel and scolded him, "What kind of b*llshit question is this? No one knows the answer!"
She was furious. Gabriel was clearly teasing her!
"Ha-ha, I know it!" Gabriel laughed and said, "The Ruler of Heaven lives in the stratosphere because it is unstable to build a house in the troposphere!"
"The Thunder God and Lightning Goddess use AC electricity because they are a couple and they use alternative postures in bed every night!"
"Well..." Ava was so embarrassed. "What kind of nonsense is this?"
"Ha-ha! Did I say anything wrong?" Gabriel rendered Ava speechless and continued to laugh. "By the way, is Sage Erlang's third eye a monolid or a double eyelid? You must know!"
"I don't know?" Ava looked puzzled.
"You are the watchdog. Don't you know?"
"Watchdog?" After thinking for a while, Ava finally reacted. "Gabriel, are you calling me a dog?"
She stood up angrily and kept punching Gabriel.
She felt that her intelligence had been insulted by Gabriel...
The takeout service was really good!
After finishing the meal, they didn't even need to wash the plates.
Someone specifically came to clean up.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Gabriel kept hinting to Ava to leave. He almost took off the clock and stuck it on her face.
But Ava still had no intention of leaving. She even took advantage of Gabriel's distraction and sneaked into his bed, occupying his spot!
"I..."
Seeing this scene, Gabriel was completely speechless!
It was already ten o'clock at night, and he didn't dare to argue with Ava anymore so as not to disturb Zoe's rest.
So, he could only compromise.
He closed the door and made a gesture for Ava to be quiet. "I don't mind if you don't leave, but Zoe has to take the SAT tomorrow. We can't have sex tonight. Understand?"
Poking her head out of the blanket, Ava nodded repeatedly.
Only then did Gabriel feel relieved and went to bed. However, he was careless.
As soon as he lay down, Ava rolled over and straddled him.
"What the f*ck..."
Unable to resist, Gabriel could only let Ava have her way...
The next morning, Gabriel got up around seven o'clock.
Ava, like a shadow, also got up.
After they finished washing up, Gabriel asked, "Did you drive?"
Yesterday, he had crashed Stella's car. If they didn't have a car, they would have to take a taxi.
"I did!" Ava nodded and said, "The car is parked on the side of the road outside the community!"
"Alright, you can drive your car to take Zoe to the test later. Now let's go downstairs first and buy breakfast for Zoe!" Gabriel had changed his shoes while speaking.
"Okay!" Ava happily followed behind Gabriel.
It seemed like she could stay with Gabriel all day today.
The two of them went downstairs and had milk and bread at a breakfast shop.
Suddenly, Gabriel's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Santos calling.
"Hello, Mr. Adams, it's only a little past seven. You're up early!"
"I had no choice. There are some things I need to report to you!"
"What's the matter?" Gabriel asked.
Only then did Santos say, "I have found out the identities of those assassins you asked me to investigate. They are all Zuropeans who came to the Dragon Kingdom as professional assassins through illegal immigration!"
"They arrived in the Dragon Kingdom just one or two days ago!"
"But we still don't have any results on the mastermind. It's quite difficult to investigate!"
Gabriel frowned deeply and put down his fork.
After leaving the breakfast shop, he squinted his eyes and said, "We must find out for sure, or it will be troublesome if someone shoots at us today and stabs us tomorrow!"
"It's not safe for the people around me either. I'll have to trouble you to investigate further, and I will also have someone investigate from the Underground World. In any case, we must find out the mastermind!"
He had quite a few enemies now.
It was indeed difficult to figure out who was scheming against him behind his back.
But having enemies who were hidden while he was exposed didn't feel good at all.
If he didn't find out the mastermind, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.
"Alright, I understand. I will continue the investigation, and you should also take care of your safety!"
After giving his advice, Santos hung up the phone.
As Gabriel pondered, he suddenly wondered if this matter was related to Vicky.
