Chapter 1011

Gideon nodded and followed Nell out the door.

He supported her by the arm as they walked into the living and sat down on the sofa.

“What’s wrong?”Gideon asked.

“Do you remember that time I asked Janet for help to look for the Arcane Jades? She told me she had news, said there’s someone named Uncle Alfuth who seems to have one in his possession. I’ve already told Vickie about this. They’ll probably go there soon.”

Vickie and Gregory were not well acquainted with the Griffin family, and they had only met Janet and Liam once. “Didn’t Old Madam say that she wants to attend Old Madam Griffin’s birthday celebration? Why don’t we go with her? We can take care of her and help Vickie at the same time.”

Gideon stared at her and frowned.

“But your body...”

Nell shook her head.

“I’m fine.”

She giggled lightly and took Gideon’s hand in her own, placing it on her stomach.

“See? Your kids are behaving. They’re not bothering me at all.”

Gideon still looked more or less worried about her proposition. Nell continued, “What’s more, I’m thinking of visiting my mother and Uncle Sean during this trip we’re taking. I’m still a little worried about her even though we met last time and she seemed to be doing well. I want to see where she has been living all these years and whether she’s doing okay. Just pretend you’re making me feel better by tagging along with me, okay?”

Gideon usually could not resist Nell’s begging.

Nell represented his whole life in his heart. How could he say no to the things she wanted to do?

Hence, he sighed helplessly and reached an arm out to pull Nell close.

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

The corners of Nell’s lips tugged up into a satisfying smile when he agreed reluctantly.

She slid an arm around his lean waist and rested her head on his chest.

“Gideon, you’re the best.”

......

The next day, Nell did not go to the office. Instead, she let Nancy drive her to the old residence.

Old Master and Old Madam were expecting her in their house.

They had ordered their butler to welcome her at the front of the residence.

Nell thought that this old couple was being rather dramatic. She was not an outsider, and it was certainly not her first time here. It was not like she did not recognize the way to their house. Nevertheless, the Old Madam still asked their butler to welcome her every time she came alone. It was a little embarrassing.

Despite that, the Old Madam insisted on doing so, citing the fact that she was pregnant and would have trouble walking as the reason. It would be horrible if she were to accidentally hurt herself.

Hence, she would always ask the butler she trusted most to welcome her arrival. It was only then that the Old Madam could stop worrying about Nell.

Nell wanted to laugh at the Old Madam’s loving concern.

She did not feel like she was having difficulties in walking. After all, she was only four months into her pregnancy and did not even look pregnant at all!

If she had difficulty walking now, then what would happen to those ladies who were eight or nine months pregnant?

Anyway, she recognized that it was the old couple’s way of showing her that they cared about her. She would probably break their hearts if she were to turn their act of kindness down.

That was why Nell did not say anything about it.

She saw the Old Madam watching TV in the living room once she entered the house.

The Old Madam paused the program when she noticed her presence. She gave her a smile as she stood and welcomed her. “Nelly’s here! Come, come. Let me look at you. How’s your belly?”

Nell reciprocated her smile. “It’s still small. You’re too impatient, Old Madam.”

The Old Madam supported her by the arm as she led her to the sofa to sit down. “How can I not be impatient? We’re already half-dead considering our old age. I’m grateful if I can even live to see tomorrow. Of course, I’ll prefer it if I can carry my grandchildren in my arms as soon as possible.

What if something happens to me one day and I can’t see them anymore?”

Nell’s expression darkened at her words.

“Hey, don’t say such nonsensical things, Old Madam! You and Old Master will live well into your hundreds. What’s with all this talk about death!” Nell chastised.

How could Old Madam Quinton not see that she was saying those words to comfort her?

Nevertheless, today was supposed to be a happy day, and she did not want to ruin it with any negativity, so she went along with Nell. “Okay, okay.

We’re going to live long lives. Oh, yes. You told me over the phone that you have something you’d like to discuss with me. What is it?”

Old Master Leith was probably tending to his garden right now since he was nowhere in sight.

Nell pursed her lips and said, “Didn’t you say that you want to attend Old Madam Griffin’s birthday celebration? Gideon and I thought about it. We don’t feel right to let you and Old Master go alone. It’s a total coincidence that we met Old Madam Griffin before and took a liking to her. We’re thinking maybe we can accompany you on your trip there. What do you think?”

Old Madam Quinton froze and stared at her in confusion.

“You’re going with us? Why?”

She shook her head without much consideration. “No way. You and Gideon are already exhausted enough from having to go to work every day. Not to mention you’re also pregnant. It’s going to be agonizing for you to sit on long plane rides. Plus, there are going to be so many guests at the party.

What are we going to do if you bump into something and hurt yourself? No, no. That’s too dangerous.”

“It’s not dangerous. Everyone will be there, and our doctor will be traveling with us too. This is not my first pregnancy. You worry too much, Old Madam,” Nell said with a smile.

Old Madam Quinton’s eyebrows remained knotted together.

Nell decided against telling her about Gregory Graham’s situation. First of all, the Leith and Graham families were still essentially rivals even though their relationship in the country had seen some improvement recently.

She was afraid that Old Madam Quinton would not understand her friendship with Gregory and Vickie if she let on too much. By then, she would not only fail to explain the situation clearly, but she might also be making everything worse.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Second of all, the fewer the people who knew about Gregory and Vickie, the better.

She told Janet because she knew she had to enlist Liam’s help since it happened in Country F. If Liam had to know about it, Janet would eventually know for sure. There was no point in concealing the truth from them.

Old Madam Quinton was a different case.

She heaved a sigh at that thought.

“Old Madam, I think I should tell you the truth. I want to go out this time not just to celebrate Old Madam Griffin’s birthday but also to take a trip to the desert and visit my mother. I’ve missed her since she left, and I want to see if she’s doing well.”

Old Madam Quinton finally caught on to Nell.

“And here I was wondering why you’d want to go with us when you can stay at home.”

She was silent as she contemplated for a moment. Then, she nodded. “Sounds good. I know you miss your mother desperately. I heard her current husband’s name is Sean? He’s a reputable doctor, isn’t he?”

Nell nodded.

“I’m okay with that plan. At least your mother won’t treat you badly. You’ve got a fantastic doctor there with you as well. I won’t have to worry about you and your baby’s safety. If that’s the case, you should go.”

A smile blossomed on Nell’s face.
