CHAPTER 258: INVITATION TO PLAY GOLF (1)

When Amelie and Carlos returned to the mansion, they saw Gabriel on the couch, dressed in a white shirt and trousers, along with a matching pair of shoes.

While Amelie was mesmerized to see him in such clothes, which made him look otherworldly; for Carlos it was rather amusing.

"What’s with this white clothing pair?" asked Carlos with a chuckle.

"I am going to play golf today with my mate. Someone has given me an invitation for it, so the clothes," Gabriel answered. "You should also accompany us." While Carlos took a seat across from him, Gabriel stood up. He had noticed that Amelie was astounded by his appearance.

"Will it be okay for me to join you both? Your friend may not be comfortable seeing me," Carlos stated.

Gabriel had approached Amelie and flicked his fingers right in front of her eyes, thus breaking her thoughts.

"It won’t happen. The people in my friend circle won’t judge you. Moreover, you’re my guest, so I must make sure you won’t feel out of place," he explained while keeping his eyes fixed on Amelie’s.

’Where are you lost?’ he asked Amelie using the mindlink.

"I think I’ll pass this," Carlos said, tilting his head. "I will rather complete the work for which I’m here. You two should go and enjoy your time together," he added. "I’ll go out and begin my search with Karmen, of course."

"You two already know each other!?" Gabriel inquired. He took Amelie’s hand and brought her to the couch.

"Not know well, but we kind of got close," Carlos replied as he watched them sit.

"How?"

"Umm... The night I came here, I was unable to sleep so I came out of my room. I noticed Karmen working late at night and we had a conversation, where I got to know what kind of dedicated beta Gabriel has," Carlos pointed with a smile.

"I think breakfast is ready! Is Karmen in the mansion? If yes, then call him," Amelie told Gabriel.

"He left earlier for his apartment. His mother has come to stay with him for a few days," Gabriel answered.

"Oh."

"The breakfast is ready, Sir," Albus informed Gabriel in a humble tone after which the three of them made their way to the dining hall.

As they finished their breakfast, Amelie and Gabriel saw off Carlos first, who left in a car.

"I thought you would insist on Carlos to come with us," Amelie stated.

"I think Carlos doesn’t like being among the wolves. Since he refused for it, I decided not to force him," Gabriel stated. His hand moved to her hair, caressing it slowly.

"You look hot in these clothes," Amelie complimented him.

"Really?" His lips curled up into a smile.

"Yes," she nodded while admitting, "I was lost in you for a while earlier." A faint blush crept across her cheeks which spread till her ears.

"I should wear white too, right?" Amelie asked.

"Yeah."

As they both walked toward their room, Amelie inquired, "Who is this friend of yours who invited you to the golf? As far as I know, you hardly have friends besides Karmen."

"Well, there’s one more friend, who was away for a long time because of business-related stuff." Gabriel tilted his head, taking her features.

"I see."

As they entered their room, Amelie chose a modest white dress for herself. "It will be my first time playing golf," she murmured.

"Then, I’ll teach you," Gabriel stated.

"But if it turns out to be a match, then I may lose. I used to hear about such elite games from Flora in the past. She was a part of such game clubs in our pack," Amelie asserted while recalling the past.

"Now, you’ll also play such games. I’ll teach you horse riding as well. We will play polo then. Not now, but after your delivery. Also, games are for fun, not to win. So, just enjoy today’s meeting and game. It will be a change of environment for you and your pup. But I assure you nothing will stress you out," Gabriel stated in a confident tone.

"I know," Amelie said, "I’ll be back soon." She headed to the changing room while Gabriel sat on the recliner, checking his phone.

His father had dropped some messages to him, but he ignored them. "Dad should ask his wife why I left rather than pestering me," Gabriel murmured.

"Tomorrow I’ve to go for an important meeting as well," he told himself, seeing Karmen’s reminder message.

As he lowered his phone, he found Amelie had come to the bedroom. "Can you help me pull up the zipper?" She turned her back to him, her hand moving to her hair, gently moving it to one side.

Gabriel gently pulled up the zipper, lowering her hair to her back. Then, he hugged her from behind, his hand resting on her bump. "You look pretty in this dress," he whispered.

His nose nuzzled the curve of her neck. "Your pheromones are getting strong, Amelie. Glad that only I can feel them," Gabriel stated, his lips pressing a kiss on her cheek before he took a step back.

"My pheromones are strong," Amelie repeated, turning to him. "But I don’t feel strange or hot. The changes in this period are sometimes beyond understanding."

"Shall I comb your hair? I want you to keep your hair loose," Gabriel told her.

"I’ll do it," Amelie told him. "Sure, I’ll keep them loose."

Sitting before the mirror, she put on a light makeup while Gabriel noticed her feet. He brought white open toe flats for her, perfectly matching the dress.

She sprayed a small amount of perfume onto her wrists, then dabbed them lightly onto her neck. Setting the bottle down, she stood and noticed her shoes waiting on the floor.

"Wear them," Gabriel told her.

Amelie thanked him and put on the white open toe flats. She had her hair clutched behind, to keep it in place.

"My purse," Amelie rushed toward the closet and brought the handbag. She put her essentials inside when Gabriel took them from her.

"I’ll carry it for you till the car," Gabriel said, and she hooked her arm with his. With arms in arms, they went out of the room straight to the waiting car in the foyer.
