Chapter 32

Gideon looked at her with a smile that did not seem like a smile. “Well? Can you say it now?”

Nell laughed awkwardly.

However, seeing that he was waiting, she was forced to do so reluctantly.

It took a long time before she managed to force out. “Hubby.”

Her voice was so small that not even mosquitoes would be able to hear her.

Gideon raised a brow and cupped his ears. “What did you call me?”

Nell gritted her teeth.

She raised her voice a little. “Hubby.”

“I can’t hear you.”

Nell. “...”

“Forget it. We’ve already reached this point. What am I being all embarrassed for?’

She hugged his neck and suddenly leaned into his ear, and yelled, “Hubby!”

After yelling, her survival instincts kicked in and she quickly let go before shrinking to the side.

Gideon was stunned.

He turned and stared at her incredulously.

Nell looked away and pretended to be calm.

In fact, she was panicking inwardly.

Then, a pleasant laughter sounded in her ears.

She was startled and thought to herself, “Did I break something when I yelled at him? Why is he laughing?!’

Looking over curiously, she saw Gideon hold back a smile and say, “I only wanted you to call me Mr. Leith. I didn’t expect you to be so enthusiastic and actually call me hubby... In that case, I’ll follow your lead and call you wifey!”

Then, he pulled out a small box from his pocket and slid an exquisite diamond ring onto her ring finger.

Nell was immediately stunned.

Her brain seemed to turn to mush!

“Wha-... W-W-W-What’s going on?’

Without waiting for her to react, the man took her ringed hand and pressed it on his lips for a kiss.

“Wifey, happy wedding!”

Nell. “...”

Afterward, she finally came back to her senses and realized that she had been played by this man!

Her beautiful face flushed red in fury!

He did it on purpose!

She was so angry that she tried to take off the ring, but he held her hand down.

“Wifey, you can’t just take this off. This is a mark that symbolizes that you’re mine for life. There’s no backing out!”

Nell was about to cry with anger.

“Gideon Leith, what if I want to back out now?”

“Dismiss the thought!”

Gideon said domineeringly.

Nell cried without tears.

At that moment, a phone suddenly dinged.

She could only pull back reluctantly. On account of this man who helped her tonight, she would just take note of this and add it to his tab for now.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Janet Hancock.

There was also a link attached to the WeChat message. It was the video that Gideon sent someone to upload.

[Nelly, I just finished work and saw this. Are you okay?]

Janet had been filming night scenes for the past few days. Except for an occasional day off, she started work in the afternoon almost every day and only finished work around five or six in the morning.

It was because of this that she did not attend Celine’s birthday banquet.

Nell quickly sent a reply.

[I’m fine. Don’t worry.]

[Thank goodness you’re fine. The Jennings family went too far! It’s so infuriating!]

[They’ll get their just deserts.]

[Well, if you need help with anything, just call me. I’ll have my assistant keep an eye on my phone for a few days.]

Nell smiled as a warm current flowed in her heart.

She swiftly replied, [Okay. Thanks, Jan.]

Then, she sent a string of kisses and hearts.

Janet also responded with kisses and hearts.

Best friends always used these kinds of symbols in conversation. Even if it was through the screen, they could feel the others’ care and affection.

To the side, a certain someone saw this and grew upset.

He had not meant to peek at her phone, but the space inside the car was limited, and his eyesight was excellent.

With an accidental glance, he caught sight of their chat log.

The string of kisses and hearts really pierced his eyes.

He snorted and said gravely, “Is that Janet Hancock? You’re close to her?”

Nell nodded. “Yeah, we went to high school together. We’ve been best friends since we were kids.”

“Hah! How could true friends exist in the entertainment industry? Be careful you don’t get duped and used.”

Nell frowned.

She turned to him and said seriously, “No matter what industry, there’ll always be false intentions and true sincerity. You can’t just generalize everyone, much less paint everyone with the same brush. What’s more, I’ve been playing with Jan since before she entered the entertainment industry!”

Gideon scoffed.

“Naive!”

Nell. “...”

She grew slightly angry!

She ignored him and took a cushion before turning around.

She had been tired for a long time after tossing and turning for an entire night.

Leaning against the car window, she had merely wanted to rest a little, but she fell asleep without noticing.

The car was quiet. Outside the windows, a ray of white light lit up the sky as the morning dawn slowly bloomed in the hazy fog.

The number of cars on the road began to increase, mingling with office workers riding bicycles as well as people going on morning runs.

Gideon whispered to Matthew to slow down and then took off his coat to drape over Nell. Then, he closed his eyes and leaned back for a rest.

...

Nell woke up in a warm embrace.

When she opened her eyes, the sky outside was still the same dim color. A white morning ray of sunshine lit the sky.

Her surroundings were somewhat unfamiliar. She rubbed her eyes and looked closely, and found that she had been here before. It was Leith Gardens.

Looking up again, she was met with a devastatingly handsome face, and she jumped in shock.

"Ahhh—!”

With a shriek, she finally realized that she was being carried into the house in his arms.

“Gideon Leith, put me down!”

Gideon looked down at her with a thin smile in his eyes.

“You’re awake?”

Nell’s face reddened. She discreetly scanned the area and saw a row of servants standing at the door, with Matthew standing at their far right.

Everyone had pleased smiles on their faces.

She covered her face immediately, wanting to die.

“Put me down! I can walk on my own!”

Nell gritted her teeth.

Gideon chuckled but respected her request, bending over to put her down.

“Hello, Sir! Hello, Ma’am! Welcome home!”

The collective and uniform voices rang out so loudly that Nell jumped in surprise.

Then, she heard the sound of party poppers.

“Pop—!”

“Pop—!”

“Pop—!”

“Pop—!”

“...”

They rang out for five to six full minutes before stopping.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Nell was so frightened she almost fell down. Fortunately, Gideon held onto her, so she was saved from this embarrassment.

After the salute was completed, Matthew came forward with a pleasing smile.

“Missus, this is the welcoming ceremony I’ve carefully prepared for you. How was it? Do you like it?”

Nell smiled stiffly and nodded with difficulty.

“Ha ha... Yeah, I like it very much.”

“That’s great.”

Then, he even winked at Gideon, looking at him with an expectant expression.

Gideon was in a good mood, so naturally, he would not be stingy. He waved his hand. “Double the bonus this month!”

“Thank you, President Leith!”
