But to her dismay, she was caught red handed by Gabriel before she could even begin

And later, he was even ordering her around like a servant

Suppressing his anger, Gabriel said. “Enough. I don’t have the energy to argue with you right now. Since you’re already here, there’s no need to waste time calling Sophie. You’ll go instead”

“What? Me? Go where? Adeline pointed at herself, her face full of confusion.

This lady was, of course, a regular and devout visitor to the Saint Grace Nunnery, so she knew its opening hours like the back of her hand.
