Win Back the Heiress 160

Chapter 160 He Only Cares About Nancy 

Ian would never treat her the way Regina did. He would only ever care about Nancy. 

That thought came instinctively to Nancy. But as if realizing something, she turned to Gideon, startled. He had picked up so quickly on what was really bothering her. 

Gideon assured her. “Those who call you selfish are just angry they can’t take advantage of you. It’s the same for those who say you’re cruel. Those people always leech off others yet still manage to think of everyone else as stingy.” 

“You’re right.” Nancy let out a sigh. “I let Regina get under my skin.” 

Gideon looked at Nancy with a gentle gaze. “You’re fine just the way you are. Otherwise, I wouldn’t like you so much.” 

Nancy felt her eyes well up with tears when she met his eyes. 

Suddenly, she remembered something. “Wait. How did you even get in here?” 

Gideon rubbed the bridge of his nose. “I texted you, but you didn’t reply. I was worried that something happened, so I picked your lock.” 

“Thanks for caring about me.” Nancy gave him a helpless look. She was half touched, half exasperated. 

“You’re not mad?” 

“You did it for me. Why would I be?” Her expression softened as she squeezed his hand. 

A smile tugged at Gideon’s mouth. “Then, sleep easy. I’ll stay right here with you tonight.” 

With Gideon by her side, Nancy slept soundly. 

Morning sunlight poured into the room. 

Nancy washed up and stepped out of the bathroom. She soon spotted a figure moving around the kitchen. 

Her lips curved as she stepped inside. 

Gideon was frying an egg when he felt her arms wrap around him from behind. He froze like he had been struck by lightning. In that instant, the egg burned, and he scrambled to crack a new one. 

Nancy let go and glanced at the pan. “It looks like Mr. Fuller still has some room for improvement in the kitchen.” 

“Only because you distracted me, darling.” He shot her a helpless look. 

“Did I scare you?” 

“No.” Gideon chuckled. “It’s because I was happy.” 

Nancy’s heart raced. 

At breakfast, Nancy bit into a sandwich and found it delicious. Gideon’s sandwich, on the other hand, held the charred egg. He ate it bite by bite like it was nothing. 

“Are you really going to eat that? Here, let’s switch,” Nancy offered. 

“It’s still edible. Just drink your milk.” He poured her a glass. 

Nancy pouted. “I’m not a kid. Drinking that much milk won’t do anything for my height.” 

“Not true. Science says milk’s great for development.” His eyes flicked to her chest as he spoke. 

Nancy’s face darkened. She pinched his arm.

2/2 

“I didn’t mean it like that!” Gideon yelped. 

“Yeah, right.” 

He gave in instantly. “Alright, alright. My bad.” 

She stared at him, then burst out laughing. Gideon raised an eyebrow. “What’s so funny?” 

“You’re so serious at work, but here, you’re like a totally different person.” 

“Of course. The people there are just employees. You’re my girlfriend.” His tone was serious. “So eat up, dear girlfriend. I’ll drive you to work later.” 

“Okay.” 

After breakfast, Nancy headed to the office, where she called Benny. 

“Well, well. Look who it is. My precious mentee!” Benny’s laugh boomed through the line. “What’s the occasion? Coming to see me?” 

“I do need your help, but not in person. I want you to look at my grandma’s case,” Nancy said. 

His cheer dropped instantly. “Your grandma? That old bat again?” 

“Not her,” Nancy explained. “My biological grandma.” 

Benny was surprised to hear this. “You’ve found your family? Sure, tell me.” 

Nancy laid out the situation, and Benny’s tone soon turned grave. “That’s bad, but not hopeless. The surgery might have to be done by you, though. My hands don’t have the precision they used to have.” 

“I understand, Dr. Gales.” 

“For now, keep her resting. Once her numbers reach this range, then you can operate…” 

Benny continued speaking, giving Nancy a list of things to look out for. His advice matched Nancy’s own thoughts. She noted 

it all down and felt her tension ease. 

She then passed the word on to Martha. Strict rest was non–negotiable. 

When that was settled, Nancy turned her focus back to work. Then, a headline flashed across her screen. 

“Hillary Suspected to Be In a Relationship!” 

Nancy raised an eyebrow. 

Hillary’s image had always been squeaky–clean in the press. Had she somehow been caught with Skylar? 

She clicked into the link, only to see photos of Hillary looking cozy with another man. It was someone Nancy recognized 

from the last film crew–the second male lead. 

Nancy immediately forwarded it to Hillary.
