Gideon looked at her with a smile that did not seem like a smile. “Well? Can you say it now?”Nell laughed awkwardly.However, seeing that he was waiting, she was forced to do so reluctantly.It took a long time before she managed to force out. “Hubby.”Her voice was so small that not even mosquitoes would be able to hear her.Gideon raised a brow and cupped his ears. “What did you call me?”Nell gritted her teeth.She raised her voice a little. “Hubby.”“I can’t hear you.”Nell. “...”‘Forget it. We’ve already reached this point. What am I being all embarrassed for?’She hugged his neck and suddenly leaned into his ear, and yelled, “Hubby!”After yelling, her survival instincts kicked in and she quickly let go before shrinking to the side.Gideon was stunned.He turned and stared at her incredulously.Nell looked away and pretended to be calm.In fact, she was panicking inwardly.Then, a pleasant laughter sounded in her ears.She was startled and thought to herself,

Nell’s body stiffened as if she was at the execution ground.However, Gideon did not do anything more.He changed into sleepwear and lay down beside her. Then, he encircled her body from behind and locked her in his arms.Nell froze.The air was filled with a faint aroma of pinewood, and the pillow was full of the cold scent belonging to this man.Coupled with the hot temperature behind her, she felt like she was surrounded by his smell. She was just like a captured bird, tightly surrounded.Fortunately, it seemed that Gideon was true to his words.Although embracing her like this made her feel a little uncomfortable, he did not do anything else.She was too stifled. Although she could keep herself from sleeping at first, the man’s even breathing from behind her made her eyelids get heavy as well, and before long, she fell asleep.When she woke up, it was already sunset.Nell did not expect to sleep so long and was shocked when she woke up. Looking at her phone, she saw that

Nell scanned the table in silence. Sure enough, most of them were her favorite dishes.The books in the study, the clothes in the cloakroom, and now a table full of her favorite dishes. She felt they were too obvious to be a coincidence.However, the man did not say anything, so she pretended not to notice and remained silent.The two observed the rule of not speaking while eating and had their meal in silence.Afterward, she went for a walk in the front garden to digest and swiped on her phone to learn about the latest entertainment news.A cold, crisp scent of pinewood suddenly hit her.She jumped and turned around to see Gideon standing behind her.“Don’t look at your phone while walking.”He reached out and snatched her phone away as he spoke.Nell was not paying attention and accidentally stepped on a stone underfoot, causing her to stumble to the side.“Ahhh—!”A short scream.The expected pain never came. The man scooped her up by the waist and easily brought her int

As it turned out, Gideon’s little woman was really smart.Nell took a sip of tea from her cup and said, “You should find someone to help you with this problem first. I’ll find a way to help you solve the rest.”Simon nodded.Reminded by Nell, he also realized the strange nature of the matter and called his agent to help him look into it.After the call, Nell continued. “Next, I’ll explain my plan. See if there’s anything you want to modify or supplement.”Simon nodded. “Please go ahead.”Nell told them roughly about the plan she had drawn up, and they both agreed with approval.Simon was happy. It seemed as if he had found a lifeline.After all, this case had been dragged on for half a month and no feasible solution had been found.Although this plan of Nell’s was only a rough idea, it already felt almost perfected to the point of being flawless.The three left the restaurant and parted at the door.Nell did not go with Gideon. After all, it was getting late, so he had to go

In the end, Nell forced herself to calm down and said, “Wait a moment. I’ll change into something else.”Then, she opened the wardrobe and started rummaging.With Gideon here, it might not be a good idea to say that she was going to change into another set of pajamas. Otherwise, he might think that she wore such a sexy nightgown on purpose and was deliberately changing it now to attract his attention.Although it was true that she did not want to wear this dress, would he know about it?Nell quickly found a matching bathrobe from the closet and put it on.The bathrobe fit well and reached all the way to her knees. As she tied the ribbon around her waist, her chest was also covered up, giving her a sense of security.Gideon remained silent the entire time, but the look in his eyes had gotten darker. The remaining wine in his cup had also been drained.“Are you done?”Nell nodded.“Then let’s sleep!”He stood up and walked over to the bed with his long legs, and suddenly began
