Chapter 65
Toverheard Gideon and Liam’s conversation dearly from inside the lase
When Quinton insisted I be his girlfriend outside the tennis club, Liam had driven up to step in and help. It timed out that was actually Gideon’s suggestion. He had indeed been in the back seat of Liam’s car that day. But still, it was possible he was just trying to help
After all, Gideon was a well–mannered gentleman, it was likely that he lent a hand out of pure kindness
“She’s just been staying here for two days. We’re not living together,” Gideon explained,
Right then, Liam’s voice came from outside. “She’s already wearing your clothes, and you still insist you’re not living together? My, m situation be?”
Suddenly, the door slammed shut, cutting off the conversation
Meanwhile, I sat on the floor, gently stroking Beanie’s flutty head.
To me, Liam was truly an unpredictable variable. I was slowly getting draw dron’s social circle.
my… How intense must the
shut down the
But with Liam showing up and going on like that, I had no idea how things might play out. Maybe Gideon would push me away entirely just to shut o
rumors.
That seemed like the most likely outcome. However, it didn’t matter. Now that i was in this, I would face whatever came my way.
While lost in thoughts, my phone rang. It was a call from Samuel. It seemed Yvette had indeed exaggerated things.
After I answered, I didn’t let Samuel’s furious cant drag on
“She just video–called me and said you confessed to her. If that’s the case, there’s no need for us to meet anymore.” I stated flatly,
With that, I hung up and blocked Samael’s mumber. Though it wouldn’t do much as I was dealing with a member of the powertul jackman family, I was trying to distance myself from their overwhelming influence.
At that moment, the door opened again. I glanced at it, but Liam didn’t come in.
Instead, Gideon’s tall figure slowly approached me. He looked down at me from is height, a flicker of something complex crossing his eyes.
I brushed the dirt off my lunds and stood up. “What was Mr. Yates doing here?”
“He and his fiancée want to hold their engagement ceremony on my island, so he came to inform me,” cideon replied.
“Wow! Mr. Yates is getting engaged that young, but responded casually, though I couldn’t shake the feeling that Liam wasn’t here just for that.
It probably had something to do with work or some confidential matter. That would explain why Gideon didn’t want me to know about it.
When I noticed the flicker in his eyes, I became more certain. He glanced at me several times, but his expression remained unreadable. “I’ll leave with; Beanie first thing tomorrow, I spoke up first
I knew he wouldn’t tell to leave, so I figured I’d take the initiative
e and step back.
Gideon bummed in acknowledgment. It seemed like his attitude had grown distant once agalis.
“I’ll leave the keys-” I started.
Before could finests, adeo ut me oll, “I’ll be away on a business trip for about live d maur dog camestay here in the
days. You can hold onto the keys for now and retum them when I get back.
iwas momentarily taught off guard by his words. I had wanted to back away to give Gideon the space be seemed to need from me.
I had expected him to severies without a second thought. Yet even after all the nanous swirling around him because of ine, he was still offering help.
Gideun was peruinely a good man. No wonder Yvette only had eyes for him, even with so many other high–quality men adoring het. “Thanks, tad. You’v
“we cutter through for que again.”
Well,consider it payment for dimer,” Gideon replied, tuming to work the dishwasher
He cradly had a knack for everyday tasks. At the very least, he knew how to operate a dishwasher.
Pigla den, Heahir started whining. It was time f

Leaning against the counter, he replied, “Tiliake youthere.”
I nodded and quickly tatted a makeshift poop scouper linan an old box.
