“Yes!” Stella nodded, her face 1king a little strange. “Shall we?”
“I don’t have anyone to give presents to, you forgot, I’m single!” Carl grumbled. Carol grumbled. “I’m not going to accompany you shopping, I’d rather stay at home and watch Olivia’s Interview, I wouldn’t be totally refuted by you either.”
“I heard that the Plaza Hotel has a very good restaurant, and I’d like to buy you a meal.” Stella tried to draw her out.
“So what are you waiting for? Let’s go!”
Stella, in fact, never gave angone any special gifts either) Previously, she only gave presents for Fernanda’s birthday or Mother’s Day. Over the years, she had only given presents to Liam, and as for Nathan, she didn’t really know what to get him.
This afternoon, Stella went to many places. However, she couldn’t find anything suitable for him, and just when she was about to be disappointed, she finally found a nice scarf.
It’s light blue and simple. She bought it, then held Carol’s hand to go to the embroidery store. She bought some blue thread.
“What will you do with it?” Carol was intrigued.
“Come on, let’s eat?” Stella just laughed and put it in her bag.
“Why so mysterious?” Carol asked.
Stella thought about embroidering her name on the scarf, she thought it would be more meaningful, and when Carol heard about her idea, she laughed.
“Stella, I really didn’t expect you to be so romantic!”
“Will you shut up and order the food?” Stella quickly passed her the menu.
Carol was satisfied and looked at the menu, and Stella isn’t picky, her taste and Carol’s were very similar, so she just let her order.
She drank her water and raised her head to look around.
It was Gabriel and several friends, he should arrive first. Very quickly Gabriel noticed her too, he was surprised for a while, and immediately picked up the glass of wine in front of him, then raised t towards her.
Stella also picked up her glass of warm water to return the compliment for a while.
Carol noticed her peculiarity, she raised her head and looked at her gaze, she was confused.
“Stella, who is that?”
At that moment, Gabriel also stared at them, and there was something wrong with his gaze, his smile was rigid. At this moment, Carol felt that someone was looking at her, she raised her head cautiously and stared into Gabriel’s cold eyes. She turned red and lowered her head. She didn’t know why Gabriel was looking at her like that either.
“Are you ready to order? Don’t you like anything?” Stella didn’t understand, she just asked.
Carol’s mind was wandering before, she didn’t really look at the menu carefully, so she only regained consciousness whe
asked her.
“Yes, I’ll order!”

Chapter 138
They ordered their food, and thee again Carol looked over, and Gabriel had already changed his gaze, he didn’t look at them again, he was focused on talking to his Triends.
Carol couldn’t explain his mood now. But she also felt that it was quite funny. She had met him for the first time, how could she have that kind of feeling?
The plates were on the table, but Carol just put her head down and thought of something, and Stella suspected, she put down her fork and knife. She reached out to wave it in front of her a few times
“Carol, what happened? Didn’t you say you were hungry? Why didnt you eat? Are you sick?”
“No!” Carol answered directly, she shouted out loud.
“Then hurry up and eat.” Stella shook her head.
They changed the topics of conversation, but clearly Carol’s heart wasn’t in it. I didn’t know what she was thinking. Normally she has a lot to talk about however, today she was really calm, leaving Stella feeling a little unusual.
Suddenly, Carol’s gaze was fixed on what was behind her, and Stella turned her head. Gabriel and his friends table was empty. They had paid their bill and gone home, but Gabriel came up to them.
“Stella, what a coincidence.”
“Yes, I didn’t expect to find you here! Are they your friends?”
“I let them go first.” His gaze fell on Carol, he was still so humble and polite: “Stella, who is she?”
Stella remembered to introduce them.
“Gabriel, this is my best friend, Carol. And Carol, this is my cousin, Gabriel.” Stella introduced them, and Carol put down her fork and knife, she stood up.
She immediately realized that her answer was too much, and was embarrassed that her face blushed again. She didn’t dare look him in the eye, she just nodded quickly.
“Hello.”
Stella noticed something wrong with her, and Gabriel noticed it too. He just smiled, but didn’t say anything.
“Stella, I still have something to do, so I’ll go first.” He said, then looked at Carol. “Carol, I hope we can meet again next time.” Gabriel said and then left, and Stella finally understood what it was all about.
She turned her head to look at Carol, and her face was red, and she purposely used her hands to cover her red face.
“What happened to you?Why is your face so hot? Your nose is red too.”
“The temperature is hot in here.” Carol looked at her and then quickly lowered her head to sip her soup.
Nathan had already asked her about this question, so Stella also gave the same answer as Carol.
Stella used her hands to support her cheeks and looked at Carol.
“My cousin is a good catch, and if you can get married soon, your parents won’t force you to go on a blind date, right?”
Carol’s parents are civil servants, they retired early. Before they retired, they didn’t care about her status as a single woman.However,

after they retired, they started pestering their daughter.
During the spring festival, when she went home, and was forced to take part in the blind date, and in those days, Carol called Stella to complain, and the moment Sella said that, Carol almost splashed the soup into her mouth.
“Stella, don’t say anything silly, I don’t even
know your cousin.” She glared at Stella, who smiled,
“I’m just telling you the truth, Carol, and don’t try to lie to me, I see things very well!”
These two people were clearly attracted to each other.
