Chapter 141 My Heart Belongs to You

Gideon hesitated for a moment, his gaze serious as he explained, “That was before. Since we’ve met, my heart has only belonged to you.”

Nancy thought for a few seconds. “Alright, you can get up now. It’s not like you’re proposing, so why are you on one knee?”

Gideon rose to his full height, a small smile tugging at his lips as he took her hand. “That’s bound to happen sooner or later, so I thought we could get a little practice in.”

Nancy’s cheeks flushed. This guy usually seemed so composed and serious, yet he actually knew how to say such sweet things.

Gideon looked at her, his eyes showing a touch of pleading and pity. “So, darling, can I come into your house now? You’re not still wary of me, are you?”

Nancy smiled helplessly. “Of course. Come on in.”

She led Gideon on a quick tour around the unit and then sat on the couch. No sooner had she settled than Gideon pulled her onto his lap.

Through the thin fabric of his suit, Nancy could feel the warmth of his legs, and her cheeks

turned red.

Watching Nancy’s flushed face, Gideon’s lips curved into a subtle, seductive smile as he leaned closer. “Darling, am I your first love?”

Nancy pressed her lips together. “Yeah… I guess so.”

“Good. You’re my first love, too,” Gideon said with a soft laugh.

“Really? You’re at such an age but have never been in a relationship before?” Nancy asked, curiosity getting the better of her.

Gideon’s expression darkened instantly, and he ground his teeth.

Nancy quickly corrected herself. “Oh, right. I forgot that you had an unrequited crush before!”

Gideon let out a soft snort. Holding Nancy in his arms, he thought to himself, “But things have now worked out,”

A smile tugged at his lips again as he looked into Nancy’s eyes, full of tenderness and affection. Nancy felt a little embarrassed under his gaze and quickly changed the topic. “How did you know that Alex was going to make me leave the Lidell family to protect Raine?”

“Raine’s actions speak for themselves. Alex never seems to think clearly around her and often gets distracted, so I had Corey keep an eye on him. As expected, he was misled again,” Gideon

said with a soft hum.

Nancy was curious. “Alex is your nephew and seems smart. How could Raine trick him so easily?”

She didn’t think Alex looked like a bad person.

Gideon explained, “Raine once saved his life.”

“Oh, that makes sense…” Nancy said, finally understanding. However, something about it still didn’t sit right with her. “How exactly did she save his life?”

“At the time, Alex went on a field trip, and a small cabin accidentally caught fire. Raine happened to be there with the Lidells and rescued him, suffering burns in the process.”

Nancy muttered, “I really can’t imagine Raine doing something like that.”

“You’re right. We had it investigated later. Only Alex’s classmates and the Lidells had been there at the time. His classmates were fishing by the river, some distance away from the cabin,

so it had to be someone from the Lidells who saved him. Raine also had a burn scar on her body to prove her claims.”

The facts were right in front of her, but Nancy still found it hard to believe.

The two sat like that, chatting casually for a long while after.

Gideon looked down at Nancy in his lap and hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Darling, if someone liked you for a long time, how would you feel?”

“Liked me for a long time?” Nancy asked. “Is he a friend of mine?”

“No, you barely talk. You only know each other.”

Nancy thought for a moment. “Well… I’ve never experienced anything like that. If it really happened… I think it would feel overwhelming. He loves me so much, but I don’t even know him that well.”

She bit her lower lip slightly. “I don’t think I could bear such deep, overwhelming affection.”

Gideon lowered his gaze. “Alright.”

Watching Gideon’s reaction, Nancy asked, “Are you still thinking about the person you liked before?”

“No. I have you now, and I’m not thinking about anyone else,” Gideon replied with a soft

laugh, looking at her affectionately.

Nancy nodded.

Before they knew it, midnight had escaped them.

Looking at Gideon, Nancy felt a little reluctant but spoke anyway. “You should go. have work to do tomorrow.”

“Alright, darling. You get some rest, too,” he said.

Hearing him call her “darling” so naturally made Nancy’s ears turn red.

You still

She walked him to the door. As Gideon was leaving, he suddenly lowered his head, and the

warm touch of his lips landed on Nancy’s forehead.

Nancy froze for a moment as his gentle, smiling voice whispered, “Good night.”

Nancy nodded and whispered back, “Good night…”

She watched him enter the elevator and leave, then returned to her bedroom.

Lying on her bed, her gloomy mood of the past few days finally lifted. She tossed and turned for a long time before finally drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, Nancy woke up to a message from Gideon. “I got you breakfast and am waiting for you in the car.

After freshening up, Nancy went to the parking lot and saw his familiar Rolls-Royce.

Before she could reach the car, Gideon stepped out. He wore a plain white dress shirt with the tie she had once given him. His face was strikingly handsome, with sharp, captivating features.

His eyes held a soft, playful smile as he looked at her. “Good morning, darling.”

“Morning,” Nancy replied, her cheeks flushing again.
