Chapter 93 New House

Jessica reminded Gianna of herself. That night seven years ago, she found out she was cheated on, just like what Jessica was going through. However, the difference between them was that Jessica interrogated the jerk like a wench, but Gianna let the jerk have a taste of his own medicine. No matter how much Jessica did, she couldn’t save the relationship, and instead it made it awkward. Gianna, on the other hand, thought jerks like that should bugger off to the ends of hell. “I was too agitated. Sorry.”

Slas smiled at her. “It’s fine.” He was wondering why she was so worked up though. An awkward silence befell them, and it wasn’t until a while later did Gianna say, “Sorry for that earlier. I’m fine, actually. Just let bygones be bygones. You don’t have to offend your friend for me.” “I should be the one to say sorry,” he replied. “That trouble you were met upon came from my end, so I should take some responsibility for that.”

“That’s not the case,” answered Gianna. “They’re not kids, so nobody has to take responsibility for their mistakes. Not even their parents have to, let alone a friend.”

Silas stared at her. The sunlight shone on her through the window, basking her in an ethereal light.

There wasn’t even one enlarged pore on her face, and if he didn’t know better, he would have thought she was a college student instead of a mother to a seven-year-old. Gianna was gentle, gorgeous, understanding, and sometimes humorous. Without himself realizing it, Silas stared at her for a long while, entranced by Gianna.

Gianna was getting awkward from being stared at. Why is he looking at me instead of the road? She coughed, signaling that he should snap out of it. “Do you need anything from me?” she asked.

Silas remembered what he was here for, so he took out a key from the storage compartment in the car.

“Your address is exposed, so it’s unsafe. I got a new house for you in Muse Peninsula.”

“I’m fine, but thank you very much.” As if out of reflex, Gianna refused his offer.

*Just take it,” Silas said seriously. “There are always dumb people out there. You’re lucky South wasn’t there that day, or who knows what might have happened. You have to think for the kids. Muse Peninsula isn’t far from the school and your workplace. You’ll be living in the same neighborhood as Landon, and he can take care of you.”

Gianna was grateful for Silas’s attention to detail. Even though she had been overseas, Landon had told her Muse Peninsula’s houses cost a bomb to buy, and that was if a unit was available. If not for that, he wouldn’t have arranged her to stay in La Grande Maison. She was astonished at how powerful Silas was, for he had settled it after a mere two days since that incident. “Thank you, I’ll pay you back.”

“It’s fine. Just take this as your consultation fee,” he replied.

Gianna smiled in resignation. “I do feel grateful that your grandfather was my first client after I came back. Inadvertently, this solved a lot of my problems.”

“Get some movers to help you move as soon as possible.” Silas grinned.

*Sure, but can you let me off, Mr. Nolan? I need to fetch my kid,” answered Gianna.

Silas was about to offer her a lift, but her phone rang. Much to Silas’s amusement, she only managed to say a hello before the call ended. “What happened?”

“Landon brought South to visit your grandfather.” Gianna felt speechless. On the other hand, Silas was delighted. “Grandpa likes South a lot, so don’t worry. He’ll be fine.” “I know,” she replied Gianna thought this felt jarring, for they didn’t know the Nolans that well, so visiting them too much felt rude. There was nothing she could do about it though, for the ship had set sail.
