Chapter 142
Later, Gabriel expressed his envy once again at Charlie being able to stay with Nina
Seeing this. Henry offered again. Gabriel, if you want to stay, just stay, The Woods family has plenty of empty rooms. You can stay as long as you
Greg, who had been put in an awkward position by Nina earlier, couldn’t help but mock Henry. “Henry, your intentions are pretty obvious. Is it really suitable for Cabriel to stay here! Trying to ruin his reputation or what?”
At this trasing. Henry’s face instantly fell, and he mapped back. “Greg, enough with the compiracy theories. I just invited Gabriel to stay because I thought he might want to catch up with Nina and the others. It’s not what you’re imagining, so stop jumping to conclusions.”
Greg said. “Oh, I see. My bad”
Henry said. “Of course, it was a
was a nuisunderstanding”
“Do you want an aj
apology
Just get out of my face.
“Alright, I won’t bother you”
Greg moved aside obediently, and Henry turned back to Gabriel, speaking seriously. “Gabriel, really, I have no ulterior motives. I just want you to spend more time with your friends. If you want to stay, stay. As for your family, I’ll handle it, and I’ll make sure they’re not worried.”
To be honest, although Henry was a bit of a basketball idiot, when he was serious, he showed a lot of responsibility.
Gabriel, listening to Henry’s words, was a little moved. He really did want to stay with Charlie and Henry,
“Well, I was thinking “Gabriel started to speak
But before he could finish. Charlie interrupted him. “Forget it. I got permission from my family to stay, but you didn’t, so don’t do anything rash”
Gabriel immediately understood the unspoken meaning behind Charlie’s words.
Charlie had only been allowed to stay because he had received approval from the higher–ups.
Henry, however, didn’t get the hint. He shot Charlie a disgruntled look. “Hey, Charlie, what’s your problem? Didn’t I tell you I’d handle Gabriel’s family situation? Why are you still trying to send him away?”
Gabriel was only trying to stay with them, but Charlie didn’t seem to get it.
What an insensitive guy.
Then Gabriel said, “Alright, I’ll gol
o back.”
“Gabriel” Henry was stunned and quickly turned to Gabriel “You said you wanted to be with your friends. Why are you changing your mind? If you’re worried about your family, I told you, I’ll take care of it
“It’s fine. It’s just not staying overnight. I can still come and visit later”
Charlie was right. Visiting then was very different from staying here. The higher–ups would likely prefer not to have all the in one place again.
e War Machines gathered.
Serang dan Gabriel was firm in his decision, Henry didn’t push any further. He sighed and said, “Alright, Gabriel. You’re welcome to come anytime. The Woods family doors are always open for you.”
our now,” Gabriel said.
111 walk you out.” Henry stood up, but Gabriel shook his head, glancing only at Charlie. “Charlie, I need to talk to you
“Wright” Charlie wood up and followed Gabriel out of the villa.
Left behind, Henry watched their retreating figures, feeling suddenly desolate.
Henry thought. Why did Gabriel want to talk to Charlie alone?
In a gloomy mood, he immediately grabbed Nina and asked, “Nuu, tell me, does Gabriel like Charlie!”

Let’s go outside.
Chapter 142
Nina, caught off guard by the question, hesitated for a second before nodding firmly and replying. “Of course, he’s c
crazy about him.”
After all, the War Machines were so close–knit that they all considered each other incredibly important–War Machines were one thing, but humans
were another.
However, as soon as Nina spoke, it was like a lightning bolt hit Henry, shattering his heart.
“Huh? Henry, what’s wrong“” Nina, completely unaware of Henry’s inner turmoil, looked at him in confusion.
Humphrey, who had been watching the whole thing, facepalmed in exasperation. ‘Nina you really need to be more careful with your words. Gabriel and Richard aren’t in the kind of relationship Henry thanks And Henry–how can he be so emotionally blunted?
Meanwhile, Greg, who had been embarrassed by Nina earlier, felt a little satisfaction at seeing someone else caught in her emotional turmoil. One more person about to lose their mind thanks to Nina Feels good!
At the same time, Charlie walked beside Gabriel and asked, “Gabriel, what’s up? Why did you want to talk?”
Gabriel, usually so indifferent, now had a rare serious look on his face. He glanced at Charlie and said, “Charlie, has something happened to Jackie?”
Charlie’s pupils contracted sharply. His hand involuntarily went into his pocket, his fingers trembling slightly. The calm demeanor he had been maintaining was starting to crack, but he still managed to ask in an even tone, “Why do you ask?”
Gabriel frowned, saying. I just have this feeling that James bringing up the controller issue has something to do with Jackie. And since you’re the closest to Jackie, if something happened to her, I know you’d lose it
“But I don’t want you to go off the rails. If you do, Nina will get involved too, and if something goes wrong, all the War Machines might revolt. This is not something we want. James told me the situation is very sensitive right now. We absolutely can’t afford to cause any trouble”
After hearing Gabriel’s words, Charlie’s gaze wavered.
A mix of emotions surged within him, but eventually, he pushed them all down. He raised his hand and playfully poked Gabriel’s forehead, then smiled wryly. “Never thought I’d have a day where you and Nina are worried about me. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid. Jackie wouldn’t want me to, either. I’ll follow her lead.”
Gabriel blinked Charlie might look relaxed, but there was an underlying tension Gabriel couldn’t quite grasp. So he continued. “Charlie, no matter what happens, we’ll face it together. Jackie will be fine. James told me so, and I trust him. So, please trust me too,”
Upon hearing this, Charlie raised an eyebrow and said, “I never would have g
guessed, Gabriel, that you trust James so much”
Gabriel replied firmly. “I trust him because he’s never lied to me
Charlie smiled and nodded, replying, “Well, I don’t trust anyone except War Machine, but I trust you guys. Thank you, Charlie, Gabriel said.
After Gabriel left, Charlar returned to the Woods
Woods family, living what seemed like a peaceful, calm life.
Then, the next day, Jessica’s loud wailing echoed throughout the entire Woods family. “My necklace is gone! There’s a thief in the house.
