The moment Gabriel Hawk stepped into the venue, the air shifted.
Unfazed, he strode confidently with his usual air of nonchalance. His sharp suit screamed elegance, but it was his companions who drew the most intrigue.
Walking behind him was a strikingly pretty man, turning heads and sparking murmurs.
"Isn't that Gabriel Hawk?" one voice whispered, barely contained excitement spilling over. "And look at him—definitely a new boyfriend. Who's the lucky flight attendant this time?"
"Flight attendant? More like flavor of the month," another snorted. "He swaps partners faster than socks."
The attention soon shifted to the smaller figures trailing close behind Gabriel. Giselle, poised and elegant despite her youth, held little Julian's tiny hand as she guided him through the chaos.
"Wait… babysitters now? For his children?"
"They're not his kids. That's his sister and his half-brother."
