Chapter 103
Spoiled by the President
âSeven! Wait!â
Nell paused in her tracks.
She looked back.
âIs there anything else?â
Old K hesitated before saying, âThe Dragon Regiment hasnât been peaceful recently, and there are many people secretly looking for you. Be careful!â
Nell was stunned.
After a moment, she smiled.
âI got it. Thanks.â
Old K also smiled.
âIâm just casually reminding an old friend as someone who knows a few people here and there. Youâre welcome.â
Nell nodded and said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Inside the Rolls-Royce sedan.
Mathew watched the two people who went separate ways in front of the cafe and was slightly alarmed.
He glanced at his Bossâs face and asked cautiously. âPresident, are we still going over?â
Gideon frowned as he watched the slender figure drifting away in the evening.
After a moment, he said, âNo need.â
Then, the door closed again, and the Rolls-Royce drove away.
Due to the angle, Nell did not see the Rolls-Royce parked on the other side.
When she got into her car, she received a phone call from Gideon.
The manâs voice was somewhat cold as he asked, âWhere are you?â
Nellâs eyebrows rose and she looked at the crowd of traffic around her before saying casually. âAt the company. Why?â
The other partyâs breath paused.
For some reason, Nell felt slightly uneasy and carefully looked to her left and right to make sure that there were no familiar faces or cars, and felt slightly relieved.
She quickly asked, âHave you finished work?â
âNot yet.â
âThen... All the best to your work. Iâll see you later tonight?â
âYes, see you later.â
After hanging up the phone, Nell breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the darkened phone screen for a moment and suddenly revealed a self-deprecating smile.
What was she feeling guilty about?
That man was not her real husband.
So what if she slept with him twice before? So what if they got a certificate?
Was he not hiding something from her too? Why did she have to be single-mindedly devoted and honest with him?
Nell tried hard to convince herself and only managed to suppress the feeling of uneasiness and guilt after a long time.
On the other hand, after Gideon hung up the phone. He thought of the figure he had just seen in front of the cafe and remembered the womanâs casual lie over the phone, and his eyes grew cold.
He smiled coldly and ordered Matthew.
âGo and find out who he is.â
Even without going into detail, Matthew knew who the âheâ Gideon was referring to.
He quickly agreed.
At night, when she returned home, Gideon was already back.
When Nell entered, Aunt Joyce welcomed her with a smile. âMissus, youâre back. Dinner is ready. Mr. Leith is also waiting for you in the dining hall!â
Nell nodded and entered the dining hall.
There, Gideon was wearing a white shirt and sitting upright in his seat.
His handsome face was firm, and the tips of his eyebrows were frosty and harsh in a rare sight.
He only raised his eyes slightly upon seeing her enter and did not say anything.
Nell was keenly aware that there was something wrong with todayâs atmosphere. She looked at Aunt Joyce, who shot her a look while standing behind Gideon.
Mr. Leith is in a bad mood today, so everyone was working while on tenterhooks.
Nell understood and smiled after sitting down. âHave you been busy lately? Are you tired?â
Gideon did not answer her.
His face was cold. In fact, even without Aunt Joyce having to say it, everyone with eyes could see that the man was in a bad mood.
However, what was surprising was that according to this manâs temperament, even if he was unhappy, he rarely showed it on his face, much less take it out on the servants.
Despite that, his mood was quite obvious today...
Nell looked around and quickly understood.
She laughed silently and asked, âAre you in a bad mood? Did something happen at the company?â
Gideon finally looked at her squarely.
His eyes immediately caused Nellâs heart to tremble.
The manâs gaze was too piercing, as if he was looking through her eyes to see straight into her heart.
Nell felt a little uncomfortable and looked away when she heard him ask, âWhere did you go this afternoon?â
Nellâs heart hitched.
She forced herself to calm down and looked at him, and said faintly, âWhy are you asking that?â
âOld K is a famous underground private detective. Heâs highly skilled and has a vast network. Heâs also especially popular in Jincheng. What did you want with him?â
Nell froze.
She looked at him in disbelief. She raced through the details of her meeting with Old K today in her mind but did not find anything wrong, and could not help but frown.
âWere you spying on me? Was it Nancy Murray?â
Gideon sneered.
âYou can ask Nancy if I ever asked her to spy on you.â
Nell. â...â
She then remembered that she had deliberately shaken off Nancy before she went to meet Old K this afternoon.
Nancy might know that she went to the cafe, but she should not know who she met.
Thinking about this, Nell looked at Gideon again curiously.
âSo, are you questioning me now?â
âAs a husband, shouldnât I ask a few questions if I was deceived by my own wife?â
Nell smiled coldly.
âIf, in your eyes, a couple should be honest with each other without any privacy, then Iâd like to trouble Mr. Leith to set an example first.â
Nell felt that she lost all appetite tonight. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and got up to leave when Gideon stopped her.
âStop right there!â
Nell paused and frowned at him.
âWhat did you mean by that? Speak clearly!â
Nell sneered.
The grievances and anger that she had suppressed for an entire day burst out at once. âWhat did I mean by that? Canât you guess? Your relationship with your prospective fiancee and your child. According to your point of view, should I, as the wife, have the right to know about that as well?â
The dining hall was instantly plunged into silence.
The quiet was so deafening that one could hear a pin drop.
The servants stared with wide eyes and dropped jaws, wearing incredulous expressions.
It was as if everyone stopped breathing at that moment. They only secretly admired Nellâs courage!
They had never seen anyone who dared to get angry with Mr. Leith. Missus was the first!
Was... Mr. Leith angry?
When they turned to look, they saw his handsome face as dark as water. The cold air exuding from his body could almost freeze someone to death.
Uh oh! Oh no!
What should they do if he really was angry?
Before the servants could react, Gideon had already spoken coldly. âEveryone get out!â
The servants exchanged glances and all quickly retreated.
Nell stood where she was and looked at him with cold eyes.
There was a trace of regret in her heart.
She clearly said that she would not care, so why was she so angry at that moment?
She was so angry that she could not help but ask him directly!
If the truth really turned out to be what she heard, how would she be able to cope then?
She felt lost just thinking about it!
