Chapter 24 A Fight
Gideon’s defined features softened with a hint of a smile. “Don’t mention it. You were put in a tough spot because of me.”
“It’s not your fault. She just doesn’t like me.”
Taking the gift from Nancy, Gideon offered, “Do you want to stay for a meal?”
“Huh?”
Fixing his gaze on Nancy, Gideon explained, “I’ll cook. You haven’t eaten, have you?”
Nancy hadn’t eaten yet, but what really caught her off guard was Gideon. She thought someone like him would live a luxurious life and have everything done for him.
Nancy didn’t expect that he could cook. Unable to contain her curiosity, she nodded and accepted the offer.
As they entered the house, Gideon removed his coat, revealing the white shirt that clung to his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Nancy couldn’t help but steal a couple of glances at the faint outline of his firm chest muscles.
“What do you want to eat?” asked Gideon.
“I’m fine with anything.”
“Okay. Have a seat. It’ll be done in a while,” said Gideon as he turned to enter the kitchen.
Nancy sat quietly, on the couch, watching him cook skillfully in the kitchen through the glass. There was something attractive about his calm, domestic confidence.
Nancy finally understood why Winter was so crazy about him. She sent Hillary a text, “Winter’s in Boraska.”
Hillary replied, “She’s probably after Gideon. Anyway, she actually has a job. She’s now the CEO of Blossom Skincare, which sells skincare products, too. They asked me to be their spokesperson two days ago.”
Nancy replied, “Yup. Winter even knows I’m here to look for my family, but she thinks the Moores abandoned me.”
Nancy had been telling everyone that she was there for work, but Winter came right out and said she had been abandoned by the Moores.
Hillary was shocked. A few seconds later, their group chat of four exploded into a heated conversation.
Hillary: “Natalie, what did you say to Winter? Answer me!”
Yelena: “What’s wrong?”
Hillary: “Ask Natalie.”
Yelena: “Natalie, what did you do?”
Natalie Langley: “What did I do?”
Hillary: “You tell me. We’re the only ones who know wh
Nancy went to Boraska. Was it you who told Winter about it?”
Yelena: “Really? Natalie, why would you do that?”
Natalie: “This is ridiculous Hillary, who gave you the right to suspect me? Nancy, do you think so, too?”
Hillary: “You haven’t been showing up for our past hangouts. You didn’t even show up when we met up before Nancy went to Boraska. Two days ago, I even saw you hanging out with Winter. Explain yourself!”
Natalie: “Nancy, do you also think it was me?”
The argument in the group chat stirred a mix of emotions within Nancy. Just as she was about to type something, Natalie texted, “Since that’s what everyone thinks, I have nothing to say. I enjoyed what we shared in the past. But from here on, let’s part ways.”
With that, Natalie left the group chat. Enraged, Hillary initiated a group call. “I swear that Natalie is making my blood boil. This is her true color!” The sound of keyboard clacking could be heard on Yelena’s side–she was probably at work.
“Why would she do that? If it weren’t for Nancy, we wouldn’t have been friends with her. She never would’ve become a famous screenwriter either,” said Yelena, confused.
