Awakening the War God novel Chapter 36

The Foster family's residence nestled in a newly developed area in the northern part of town. 

While not large, the villa exuded a distinct traditional charm of Dragon Kingdom. 

Enclosed by a wooden fence, it boasted wooden doors and clay-tiled roofs. 

Two imposing statues stood guard at the entrance, exuding an air of authority. 

It was a stark departure from the opulent Western-style villa of the Davis family. 

After finishing the call with Elizabeth, Gabriel couldn't shake off his somber mood as he made his way to the Foster family's residence. 

But upon seeing the house, he felt more at ease. 

He had a fondness for architecture featuring Dragon Kingdom tradition. 

With his Adibas sneakers on, Gabriel stepped through the Foster residence's entrance. 

Sophia, leading a group of people from the Foster family emerging from both sides of the front yard, came up to greet him. 

"Gabriel, welcome, welcome! Ava's been talking about you non-stop these past few days." 

Sophia greeted him with a warm smile, clearly thrilled to see Gabriel. 

She seemed even more affectionate than a mother-in-law. 

Since the birthday banquet, she had quickly established contact with Mr. Leon the next day and reworked the letter of intent for the hotel's cooperation. 

Now, everything was almost settled. 

And all of this was thanks to her daughter's boyfriend, i.e., the man before her, Gabriel! 

She had initially worried about retaliation from the Davis family, but later she heard that Gabriel had handled things forcefully, even giving a thorough beating to Samuel, the head of that gang. 

Even when the Davis family brought in Mr. Brooks, they couldn't do harm to Gabriel. 

In the end, it was the Davis family that suffered losses. 

Gabriel was impressively formidable. 

In all these years, the Davis family had never suffered such a significant setback. 

Now, she found herself increasingly satisfied with her daughter's choice of a boyfriend. 

"Dear, you are here!" 

Ava squeezed out from the crowd, rushed over, and grabbed Gabriel's hand. 

Her eyes sparkled at the sight of Gabriel. 

It had only been a day or two, but to her it felt like an eternity. 

He was still as handsome as ever. 

Her heart, which had been restless over the past couple of days, finally settled down at this moment. 

"Um... today is Monday; isn’t everyone supposed to be at work?” thought Gabriel. 

Looking at the large group of people in front of him, Gabriel felt speechless. 

It seemed like everyone of the Foster family was here, except for Henry. 

Even Mia was there, who stood quietly at the back of the crowd, her gaze cold and distant. 

Sophia chuckled awkwardly, "I called them back. We're having lunch together today to thank you for your help with the cooperation with Apex Bank!" 

The others chimed in with chuckles at her words. 

Only Martin appeared complex, his face dark. 

Inside the Foster residence, the decor also followed an antique style. 

After some awkward talk, it was time for an awkward lunch. 

Gabriel felt extremely uncomfortable during this lunch. 

He felt like a pony with its ass exposed to everyone of the Foster family, letting them shower him with kisses. 

He was overwhelmed. 

Aside from that, both deliberately and unintentionally, Sophia brought up the topic of marriage, leaving Gabriel wordless. 

How did they jump to the conclusion of getting married? 

Besides, he, as an illegal immigrant, couldn’t get married. 

But Ava didn't help him out of this situation. 

She just kept smiling with her head lowered, which rendered him utterly speechless. 

After the difficult meal, Gabriel was finally able to escape. 

His ears felt refreshed, and he was finally at ease. 

Afterward, he accompanied Ava to visit Henry, who was bedridden at home. 

Henry didn't go to the hospital but lay in bed at home. 

He was covered in various illnesses. 

Sometimes, he couldn't get up for days. 

The reason Mia didn't go to work was to take care of Henry. 

Over the years, due to health issues, Henry had handed over the hotel business and the entire family to the strong woman Sophia to manage.
