Nancy informed Ian and Freya about the Lidells‘ fight for succession.

Ian said thoughtfully, “It looks like your grandmother is a sensible person. In that case, wait until you get the succession rights before having you come back.”

“Alright,” Nancy replied gently. “How have you two been in Boraska lately?”
“We’ve been perfectly fine. We’ve just missed you,” Freya replied, gazing tenderly at Nancy.
They all chatted casually with each other, surrounded by a heartwarming atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Gideon was sitting in a corner of the closet, breathing shallowly. Suddenly, something fell onto his face. He picked it up and realized that it was a small piece of clothing that emitted a faint fragrance.
When he felt the soft garment and realized what it was, his ears immediately reddened.
Nancy, that brat!
He immediately put the undergarment aside.
As laughter rang out incessantly from the living room, Gideon gradually calmed down. He took out his phone and started handling some business–related matters.
After a while, he heard footsteps approaching.
“This is my room.”
“Oh, my. Why is it so small? It’s smaller than your former bathroom,” Freya said in distress.” If you’d mentioned something earlier, I would’ve bought you a villa to live in. How could you stand to live like this?”
“I’m already happy enough with this, Mom. Moreover, Gideon’s also…”
Nancy almost slipped up and hastily amended her sentence. “I think this place is quite comfortable.”
Ja, with his keen senses, noticed her slip–up. “What were you saying about Gideon, Nancy?”
Nancy had no choice but to add, “Gideon’s also staying in the area. The environment here is quite good.”
“Have you already met him?” Ian asked, immediately becoming a little nervous. “He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
“He didn’t, Dad.”

Before Nancy could add that he was a rather nice person, Ian sighed and said, “That’s good. You have to listen to me and stay away from that person, Nancy. He’s too dangerous.”
Nancy had no choice but to swallow her words and hum in acknowledgement.
Freya looked at the closet and reached out to open it. “Is our closet also this small? Can you even store any clothes in here?”
Nancy’s heart immediately leaped into her throat. She tried to stop Freya, but it was too late.
“Huh? Why can’t I open it?” Freya asked curiously.
She tugged forcefully on the handle, but the doors didn’t move an inch.
Nancy said hurriedly, “It only contains my pajamas, Mom. Let’s just look elsewhere!”
“Okay, then,” Freya said agreeably, letting go of the issue.
Their footstops gradually faded away.
Gideon sighed in relief and returned to leaning against the corner.
After Nancy finished showing Ian and Freya around the house, she set up a guest room for them. “The trip here must have been long and tiring. Please rest early, Mom and Dad.”
“Alright. Let’s go to the company together tomorrow, Nance,” said Ian.
“Sure.”
After finally getting her parents settled in, Nancy immediately slipped back into her room.
When she opened the closet door, Gideon was sitting in the corner, looking particularly aggrieved. He watched her silently with his dark eyes. She immediately felt guilty.
“Sorry. Dad and Mom have already retired to their room. You should leave quickly.”
Gideon exited the closet. Just as Nancy was about to open the door for him, she heard a knock from outside.
“Nance,”
Nancy’s hair instantly stood on end.
A second later, Freya pushed the door open, upon which Nancy immediately slammed it shut. ” I’m changing, Mom.”
“Whoops! Sorry,” said Freya. “Change your clothes first, then. I’ll wait for you.”
“Is something the matter, Mom?” asked Nancy.
“It’s nothing much. I just wanted to chat with you,” replied Freya.

Nancy could only hum noncommittally before turning pleading eyes on Gideon. She then proceeded to shove a stormy–faced Gideon toward the closet.
She clasped her hands together and pleaded, “I’m really sorry, okay? I’ll treat you to a meal next time. Two meals, in fact!”
