Awakening the War God novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Boyfriend

"Boyfriend?" Gabriel was amused. He said irritably, "We're adults who fooled around with each other, but why are we getting into a relationship? You should find someone else. I'm not the type to play along!"

He really didn't expect that Ava would ask him for this by calling him here.

"You..."

Ava was infuriated and gritted her teeth.

Gabriel always spoke in such an annoying way, making her dislike him.

"I mean pretending. Do you understand what pretending means? You're not qualified to be my boyfriend for real!"

She finished her words by roaring.

"Pretending is not an option either. It damages my reputation!"

Wiping the spit off his face, Gabriel rejected once again.

He was resolute and unwavering.

Whether it was real or fake, he wasn't interested.

If other women found out he had a girlfriend, it would ruin his chances with countless other women.

It wasn't worth it for this girl.

"Gabriel, you shameless designated driver!"

Ava clenched her fists and pounded on Gabriel's body.

Her emotions escalated, and she became more and more excited.

In the end, tears actually streamed down her face. "You said yesterday that you owed me a favor, and no matter what happened, you would help me resolve it. How can you go back on your word..."

Upon hearing these words, Gabriel, who had always been heartless, suddenly had a change in expression.

His nonchalant demeanor disappeared, replaced by seriousness.

This time, Ava had hit his soft spot.

Keeping his word was fundamental to him.

He had promised to owe Ava a favor.

As long as Ava asked for his help, no matter what it was, he would agree.

After he considered it, his gaze became deep as he said, "I rarely make promises to people, so this is a precious opportunity. Are you really asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend with this promise?"

His promise could be used for more important matters.

Using it for this seemed a bit wasteful.

Ava's crying abruptly stopped.

In her teary eyes, there was a touch of infatuation.

Gabriel's serious side was quite charming.

Moreover, his eyes were so deep that they seemed to draw her in.

"Yeah..."

She nodded repeatedly, having lost the ability to think.

"Okay, I promise you! From now on, I'll be your boyfriend for a week! During this week, I will take on all the responsibilities of a boyfriend and make sure no one bullies you!"

Gabriel leaned back on the sofa and took out a pack of Liggett Select from his pocket.

He leisurely lit one and took a deep drag with satisfaction.

Since Ava insisted on him pretending to be her boyfriend, he could only agree.

Once he agreed, he would take this matter very seriously.

This fake boyfriend would be even more real than a real one.

"Ha-ha, it's a deal. Thank you, Gabriel!"

Ava finally felt relieved now.

With Gabriel's thick-skinned nature, he shouldn't have any trouble acting.

"What did you call me? The name doesn't sound intimate enough!"

Gabriel's eyes gazed affectionately at Ava.

Being so close to Gabriel, Ava felt that her heart raced, and her face turned red.

"Thank you, dear!"

Pursing her lip, she said cautiously, trying to suppress her shyness.

"That's more like it. By the way, Ava, what's the deal with James?"

Gabriel quickly adapted to his role. Even his voice became gentle.

Starting from now, within a week, he would completely consider himself as Ava's boyfriend.

The favor from last night had been settled.

The guilt of taking her virginity could also be relieved.

The way he addressed Ava made her feel so happy.

She blinked her big eyes, but when she thought of James, she felt a bit aggrieved.

"James is from the Davis family, and the Davis family is an influential force in Silverwood."

"With assets worth billions of dollars and high-ranking officials in the assembly, it is definitely a prominent family!"

"But our Foster family only manages two five-star hotels, with assets of just over a billion dollars. In Silverwood, we can only be considered a wealthy family. Compared to the Davis family, there is a huge gap!"

Gabriel squinted his eyes. James had quite the background.

A family who had billions of dollars was definitely at the top in Silverwood.

Ava continued, "In our Foster family, there are only my sister and me, no male heirs. So the inheritance of the family business is our biggest problem!"

"My parents' idea is to have a good son-in-law to inherit the Foster family's hotel industry in the future!"

"This matter spread quickly in Silverwood, arousing the covetousness of many people!"

"They all feel that it's a gravy train. As long as they marry a Foster family daughter, they can easily obtain two five-star hotels!"

Gabriel was amused.

The metaphor of a gravy train was quite fitting.

Glaring at Gabriel, Ava sighed and said, "At that time, my sister was still studying abroad, so all those covetous eyes were on me!"

"So many people were scheming, causing chaos in my family and rumors!"

"Just when my parents were frustrated, the Davis family suddenly proposed a marriage alliance with our Foster family, and the person proposing the marriage was that fat man, James!"
