Lazily Yours.

Chapter 578: Analise



Gabi realized that even in small and simple conversations, Aden cannot be underestimated. He was too sly, too cunning. He could easily turn the conversation to his favor. Gabi didn't even know how it happened. All she recalled was nodding to his words.

It has been decided that he is going to visit her every night.

This was the compromise that she came up with when Aden told her that he would live in the mansion. However, after the conversation, she felt that this was what Aden wanted all along. She felt like this man just played her with words. It was a trap!

How did it become like this?

She honestly thought she was smart, but this man is way beyond her league!

"Alright, just follow the series of exercises in this list. Then take a cold shower in five minutes. After that, text me if you feel something weird."

These were Aden's words before she left the jewelry store.

"What about Luna?" Tureis asked him when Gabi left.

"What about her?"

"She tried to convince Miss Gabi to back out. Are you just going to forgive that?"

Aden looked at the man standing next to him. "Ah… she's dead."

"…"

"She accidentally ingested a poison."

"…"

Aden continued, "Let everyone know about her death. Tell them to be more careful next time." Aden shoved his hand on his pocket. "Careless people easily die." With that, he beamed. "Time to sleep."

"…" Tureis felt a shiver ran down his spine. Who would believe that this was the same monster that was eating with Gabi earlier? If Gabi would see this side, what would she think? Tureis shivered. Just thinking about the other side of Aden, the silent and deadly one, made him tremble in fear.

Meanwhile, Gabi was smiling until she arrived at the mansion. She was honestly feeling good. Her body felt really light, she quite liked it.

"Hmmm?" Now that she thought about it, why does it seem like her body changed a lot? Aden told her that he was just going to strengthen her body to prepare it for the nanoparticles. But the changes were quite a lot. Was she imagining things? Or maybe she was just glad that she was still alive?

How weird.

Did he do something more?

But most importantly, it seems that she underestimated him.

"Miss, Sir Earl invited you for dinner. He said his parents would join the two of you."

"Parents?" Gabi thought about the hierarchy inside the Ren Family. She tried to recall anything about Earl's parents but failed to do so. She had no memories of them. Even in her previous life, she couldn't recall talking to them. She remembered meeting them when she was younger, but right now, she had no memories of who they look like.

Currently, the patriarch of the Ren Family is her grandfather. Ren Zhou. He had no son and only had one daughter which was Gabi's mother. Because of this, the rightful heir should be Gabi. And everyone in the family supports this. Or at least that's what Earl told her, even her grandfather told her the same thing.

But was that really possible?

Now that she was slowly going out there and exposing herself to the world, she would soon find out if this was really true.

"Where?"

"In the Ren Mansion, the old master will be there too."

"I see. Alright. I will change my clothes and join them." Since it was still a bit early, Gabi decided to relax in the tub before changing her clothes and leaving for the Ren Mansion.

"Hmmm? Did something happen?" Gabi asked the butler that was walking in front of her. When she arrived at the Ren Mansion, Mr. Esdras personally came out to greet her.

"Today, Young Master Earl's fiance is here to meet the old master."

"Huh? Fiance?"

"It's only natural that the young miss is not aware of this matter. Even the old master is not aware that Young master earl already has a fiance."

"Really? How did that happen?"

"Well… Young Master Earl's parents are going to explain what happened tonight. That's why they also invited you to join the dinner."

Gabi lowered her gaze. Even in her previous life, she couldn't remember Earl being engaged to someone. Was this caused by the changes that she made when she came back in time? That is the only probability that she could think of.

Mr. Esdras led her to the back of the mansion where they were going to have their dinner. This space is just a few meters away from the bamboo forest, so the first thing that she noticed when she arrived was the sweet smell of bamboo. A smile appeared on her lips.

"It looks like Gabi is here. I should call grandfather so we could start dinner." Earl approached Gabi. He was smiling and Gabi couldn't sense anything from his expression. It seems that Earl was satisfied with his fiance?

In response, Gabi nodded. Her gaze landed towards the woman wearing an all-red cheongsam dress that reached her ankles. The slit on the side, however was a little long for Gabi's taste.

Nevertheless, the woman looked warm. She wasn't the typical attractive woman that would make someone droll. But she looked really confident and kind. She had an aura of a mother, a gentle and warm mother.

"Ah… mother, father, I'm sure you remember Gabi."

"Aunt, uncle, how have you been." Gabi greeted them with a warm smile. In response, the two older people also smiled at her kindly.

"And this is… Analise, my fiance. Analise, this is my cousin, Gabrielle."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Gabrielle. Please call me Ana."

"Hi, Ana… Please call me Gabi." Now that Gabi saw the woman up close, she noticed that this woman looked really familiar.

"Is there something wrong?" Analise asked. She stood there, staring at Gabi.

"Ah… I just thought that you and Earl would look really good together." Gabi smiled as she shook the woman's hand. "But… you look really familiar. Have we met before?"
