Chapter 2597

Sylvia had played once before, so she'd picked up a little experience. Now, whenever she was dealt a hand full of low cards—say, a

seven, an eight, maybe a ten, and none of them matching suits—she just tossed them aside without a second thought.

But luck wasn’t with her. Hand after hand, she kept getting those slackluster cards, none higher than a ten.

Finally, the next round was a touch better: her highest card was a king of hearts. Still, not exactly a winning ticket.

“You should hold onto that one,” Gabriel said quietly beside her.

A sudden, childish urge to rebel flickered in Sylvia. She pretended not to hear him and promptly discarded her cards.

her cards over, her highest was just a jack of hearts.

Grinning in triumph, Magdalen turned and blew a tic kiss to Morrison, prompting a chorus of groans from the rest of the

Josiah’s groan was the loudest.

Amiee Jordan shot him a look of exasperation. “Do you even know how to play this game?”

Sylvia choked on her next words, suddenly wary of arguing back.

Gabriel noticed her silence and frowned, wondering if he'd been too harsh.

From his seat behind her, he studied her profile up close. The lines of her face were smooth and elegant, her cheeks softly

rounded, her eyes slightly upturned at the corners. When she smiled, she looked innocent and inviting; when she was focused, she

seemed gentle yet enchanting.

A wavy strand of hair curled by her ear, framing her delicate, porcelainplexion. The lamplight made her skin glow with a

translucent blush, her ear almost luminous.

Gabriel found himself watching her intently—really looking at her for the first time.

quickly turned away, pretending to listen to the others’ conversation.
