Chapter 472: What on earth is wrong with this woman

Tristan woke up on the empty bed only to realize that Ashley had left for the shoot. Forcing his body up, he scowled recalling his behavior.

"I shouldn’t have overreacted," he said running his palm over his hair and jerked away the duvet before climbing down.

Taking a quick shower Tristan dressed up and stepped out of his room.

Reaching downstairs he found his parents and Gwen having their breakfast. The moment Grace’s eyes caught him, she called him.

"Good morning dear, come have breakfast," she said motioning the maid to serve him the food but Tristan immediately declined.

"No Mom, I have an urgent meeting to attend. I need to leave" Giving her a quick peck on her cheeks, Tristan strode out of the house.

Staring at his retreating back Grace muttered," Why is everyone leaving empty stomach this morning? First, it was Ashley, and now Tristan"

"You still don’t understand mom. These two are having a fight that’s why they are punishing each other by starving themselves" Gwen’s voice from the side snapped both Grace’s and Trevor’s attention.

"How do you know that?" they asked.

"Tsk, instinct"

Gwen who had stepped into the house at midnight had seen Tristan spacing on his balcony. He looked a little pissed, whereas Ashley she wasn’t even there with him, which only concluded that the couple had a tiff.

"I am sure it’s him. Ashley wouldn’t bring a fight unless he gave her a point" Grace declared.

Tristan was the most sensible child of hers, but sometimes he would too act stupid. It was common among the Knight men. They might rule the business world with their exceptional skills, but when it came to handling their emotions, they had no clue how to react.

"It’s all your fault" she snapped at Trevor, slamming the spoon on the table in fury.

"M-Me?" the man who was sitting silently was blamed for his son’s foolishness.

"Why is it my fault? Did I ask him to fight with Ashley " he argued feeling wronged for something he didn’t do.

"Of course, it’s your fault. You and your son both don’t have a conscience" she spat getting up from the seat and walked away.

"...."

Slide glancing at her father’s pitiful face, Gwen shoved the last piece of bread in her mouth and wiped off her lips, before getting up.

"Dad, I think Mom is right this time. You and brother both suck at handling your emotions" giving him a sorry look, she gently patted his shoulder and left from there.

"...."

Reaching Skylar Corps, Tristan headed toward his office where Karl was waiting for him.

"Have you prepared the documents, I asked for?" he asked walking towards his executive chair.

"Yes boss"

Passing him the file, Tristan went through it before signing the document. "Forward this news to Charles. I am sure after learning that we are canceling the project with them, he would come after me to negotiate"

"Yes boss" passing the file back to Karl, he then left.

Meanwhile, Tristan remained seated in his seat, but all his attention was fixed on thinking about Ashley.

Last night after he entered the room, Ashley had already fallen asleep. He had come to realize his mistake and wanted to apologize, but now he couldn’t since she refused to even see him.

"How about I visit her sets" he thought. His eyes sparkled in excitement.

’No, you can’t. She already forbade you from showing your face at her shooting location’ his subconscious mind spoke from behind and all the shine in his eyes dimmed instantly.

Falling back on his chair, Tristan sighed. He regretted being a dumbass at times. No matter how many times he said he was fine, he still ended up repeating the same mistake.

"Am I losing my mind" he snapped forcing himself up.

Lately, he has been showing symptoms of a pregnant woman with lots of mood swings. Even his wife had started to get annoyed by his constant nagging and if he kept continuing that then he doubted Ashley would soon stop loving him.

"No!... I can’t let that happen. It’s better I give her some space" he thought.

Tristan had to understand that he couldn’t always stop Ashley from doing things she liked. He can’t always control her just because he is scared that something might happen to her.

He was letting his fear overshadow his conscience, failing to understand her words. But now he had to stop and trust her.

He knew Ashley wouldn’t let anything happen to herself knowing that his life resides in her and if something happened to her then he wouldn’t be able to survive.

Bobbing his head in understanding Tristan decided to follow his decision and continued doing his work.

Bianca had finally woke up and was feeling more refreshed than before. The medicine she took worked perfectly for her and now she felt like she was ready to leave.

Climbing down from the bed she looked for her ID card. She remembered wearing it before she ran off from that abandoned place. It was the only thing that helped her borrow a car and run away from those men.

"But where have it gone" She mumbled checking the pockets of her clothes, but found nothing.

"Did it fell somewhere" She snapped wondering if she lost it when she passed out or maybe...

"No no no why would he take it. There is no way he would have my ID" She assured herself with a forced smile and kept searching the card.

"Are you looking for this Miss Bianca? "

Suddenly the door of her room opened and Gabriel walked in carrying her identity card in his hand.

Bianca found his gaze scrutinizing, but she tried keep herself compose

Staring at him for a few seconds, she then stood up and turned entirelyto face him.

"Y-Yes" She whispered moving her eyes between Gabriel face and his hand.

Gabriel noticed the gleam of nervousness in her eyes but she quickly masked it.

’Interesting’

"So you are a doctor" Her mumbled looking at the card as he read it.

"Yet you couldn’t take care of yourself self"

Gabriel said with a sarcastic tone.

He wanted to see if Bianca was one of them and if yes the it was a right opportunity to tie her down.

Bianca on the other hand found Gabriel words a little taunting, yet he decided to keep quite.

He was the one who helped her and gave her a shelter for one night. If not for his kindness those men would’ve found her and she would’ve been dead by now.

"It’s not that I wanted to pass out of the road purposely" She replied. This time ber voice came out a little firm and rude that left Gabriel amused.

"I didn’t say like that" He played along.

Gabriel found the girl a little interesting. She looked like a lost puppy but her mouth was sharp as knife.

’It would be fun to play with her’ he lamented.

Bianca felt like this man was purposely trying to provoke her. But then why would he act so nice to her before.

’Was it all a plan. Is he one of them’

The possibility of him being one of the kidnapper strike her thoughts and she slowly took a step back.

Gabriel sarcastic smile faded when he noticed her small movement and his brow cocked in anticipation.

He had a feeling that the girl was doubting his intention, suddenly getting alerted about him. But that didn’t stop him from approaching her.

He wanted to know what was her next move.

"W-who are you?" She stuttered quickly fisting her hand in air ready to attack him in case he touches her.

"Gabriel, Gabriel Emerson" He answered taking a step closer to her while she took a step back.

Bianca’s eyes flutter listening to his name.

’Have I heard this name before’ she wondered and started pacing out.

It took her a few seconds to recognize him and once she did her eyes popped out from gee socket and the hands hanging mid air lossen and she squealed.

"Gabriel Emerson.... The hottest model who worked with The Ashley BrownBrown for Star Magazine shoot" Her voice raised like a whistle almost stumbling Gabriel on his feet.

".... "

"OH MY GOD!... I don’t believe this. I finally got the chance to meet you" Bianca beamed expressing her thoughts. She dropped her guards instantly and quickly ran toward him like an excited child.

Her eyes sparkle as she adored his beauty. The photos she had seen of him didn’t do justice to his beauty. He looked more handsome and charming in personperson and she couldn’t help but keep staring at him like a awestruck puppy.

Gabriel on the other hand felt like the entire world shifted to 360 degrees. The girl who was ready to fight him a few seconds ago quickly switched her mood into an die hard fan who was now drooling over him without any hesitation.
