Chapter 434

Author: River Fish
The first time Gideon remembered meeting Leona was when he was three years old.

Leona had come to meet him while she'd had some time off from work. Gideon had been told in advance that someone called "Mom" was coming to meet him.

After watching the other kids around him, he'd understood that a mom was supposed to be the most important person he could depend on completely, so he'd been both excited and nervous.

When he had actually met Leona, the first thing that struck him was how stunningly,

    Phoebe was testing Evan. He suddenly got so tense that he had to brace one hand against the table. His brows furrowed, and his lips parted slightly without him even realizing."Phoebe." Her name slipped out of his mouth, and his voice sounded nothing like it usually did. Even his breathing had gone heavy and rough.But the words he really wanted to say got stuck in his throat. In the end, all he managed to do was softly say, "I'm just genuinely curious, Phoebe. I know how much you loved Connor. How could you move on to Gideon so soon after the divorce? Are you just using him to piss Connor off, or do you actually like him?"Phoebe didn't answer.Evan pressed on anyway. This was something he desperately needed to know. "If it's the first reason, then I think it's believable. But there's no way I can believe you actually like Gideon. You loved Connor so deeply. Isn't this way too soon for you to be over him?"As Phoebe had said, she didn't owe him any answers to satisfy his curiosit

    Because it was barely dawn and still early, Evan figured that Phoebe wouldn't reply right away, or maybe not at all. But as he sat by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the garden bathed in soft morning light while eating his breakfast, Phoebe suddenly called him.He was so startled that his coffee nearly sloshed over the rim. His heart slammed against his ribs when he checked the caller ID, feeling nervous. He set down his mug, took a slow breath to steady himself, then answered. "Phoebe?""You're with Connor?"It really was her voice. Evan lowered his eyes. She had reacted so quickly to his text. Was she still worried about Connor after all?"Yeah. I went to look for him last night. He wasn't in good shape—his stomach acted up again." Evan's fingers slid absently along the side of his mug. "Then he spiked a high fever in the middle of the night. The doctor said his resistance is down and that his wounds are a little infected… He's been burning up all night. Do you want

    Connor gritted his teeth. "Let me have Phoebe? Gideon doesn't even deserve her. She's my woman."His face was pale and shadowed. "Evan, you know him, so you should know me even better. Stop with the useless bullshit. I don't want to hear it."Evan was now sure that Connor wasn't going to listen to a single word of his advice. Maybe it was easier to see because he was on the outside looking in, but his gut told him that Connor's obsession with Phoebe wasn't really about Gideon.After growing from boys to men, they had to have changed. Thoughts shifted, and so did priorities. Maybe the bad blood between Connor and Gideon would always be there, like a thorn that would never quite come out. But what if, in the end, it really wasn't that important anymore?What Connor truly couldn't accept wasn't that Gideon had taken Phoebe from him. It was that Phoebe had chosen Gideon. The cause and effect had flipped completely, making everything different.Perhaps Evan was about to witness somethi

    Connor's eyes turned ice-cold. He snapped, "What are you trying to say?"Evan said, "Phoebe had plenty of chances to call Mr. Russell Senior and tell him about the divorce, but she didn't. She waited until the whole family was together on his birthday to announce it. Don't you get it yet? She didn't leave any way out for either of you."She made sure to cut all ties so ruthlessly, and you're still chasing after her like this? Even after what she did to you, you're still pursuing her so relentlessly. Isn't that exactly what liking someone looks like?"Connor sneered. "Whether I like her or not doesn't matter. I just want her back. I want things to go back to how they used to be."Evan sighed. "So, you're going to fight Gideon for her? How? You think he'll let you take her?"An ugly look crept onto Connor's face, and he clenched his fists. "There'll be a way."There was no way he was giving Phoebe up. That was what the loudest voice in his head was shouting. Even now, he hadn't ful

    Evan had already seen Phoebe and Gideon holding hands and having dinner together, so this was an outcome he'd expected. He hadn't been entirely sure then, but he was now.It was no wonder Connor was in this state… Wait, no. Connor had never actually liked Phoebe. So, how had he ended up looking this wrecked?Evan could totally understand the irreconcilable bad blood between Connor and Gideon. Connor should mostly be furious, but there was something else in his eyes—panic.He was panicking? Did that mean he'd actually fallen for Phoebe?Evan asked, "Is Gideon the one who left you this bruised and battered?"Connor gnashed his teeth. "He's trying to steal Phoebe from me."Evan didn't hold back and jabbed his sore spot. "So, he actually succeeded. Did it just happen? You saw Phoebe and Gideon.""Shut up!" Connor snarled.Evan got his answer from the reaction alone. Connor's temper was as horrid as ever, but Evan was long used to it. He remained calm, his voice steady as he asked,

    Gideon was still thinking about how Phoebe had thrown up earlier. He was worried that her stomach might still be upset.She couldn't dodge it anymore, so she just wrapped her arms around the one he had draped over her. His arm felt firm and smooth under her fingers; it was surprisingly nice to the touch."How does it feel when I touch you like this?" she asked, genuinely curious.He pressed his face closer to her neck. "I like it. A lot."Feeling encouraged, she grew bolder and slid her hand along his arm. His muscles were solid, tense, and hard when he flexed even a little. They were softer when relaxed, but still packed with strength.Years of consistent training had kept his body fat percentage low, giving him that perfect balance of power and aesthetics. There was nothing extra around his waist; she didn't even need to touch to know that it was tight and lean.Phoebe's hand drifted lower toward Gideon's wrist, planning to settle there so they could fall asleep palm to palm.
