But sadness dominated her brother's handsome face. "Come on, brother! Did she reject you?" Elena's question was answered with a snort by Gideon."I wasn't sure if you would be willing to listen to my story.""Why not?" Elena's face showed availability."Because the woman I approached all this time was Amelie."Elena slowed down her chewing as soon as Amelie's name was mentioned as Gideon's love interest. Jonathan and Gideon were the only siblings she had. Why did the two men in her life have to have their hearts set on the woman she hated so much? It seemed so unfair."O-oh, so the girl of your dreams is that slut

That night, Gideon waited for Amelie in front of his grandparents' house. The man glanced at the watch on his wrist. It had been half an hour since he had waited for Amelie on the steps in front of the house.From a distance, the man saw the person he was waiting for walking over. Gideon sighed heavily, remembering how embarrassing the incident at the tavern was yesterday."Doctor, uncle!" greeted Axel upon seeing the male entity sitting on the steps.The man in the shirt stood up and immediately stroked Axel's hair.Amelie sighed lazily. Gideon's face, which implied guilt, seemed to make her reluctant to look at the man's face."Come in, Axel," Amelie pleaded with her son.The boy's two clear beads looked at Amelie and Gideon in turn. The looks of the two adults showed tension between each other. Axel had no choice but to nod and enter the house.Amelie folded her arms in front of her chest and stared at the sad-faced man with a flat gaze. The night breeze seemed to freeze Gideon in

"Do you need me to accompany you?" asked Gideon once the car he was driving arrived at a lodge.Elena had asked him to drop her off at the lodge in the Lake Rotorua tourist destination, saying she wanted to enjoy the panoramic view of the lake and have some time to calm down around Lake Rotorua."No need, Gee; enjoy your weekend. I just want to be alone for now," the blonde woman said as she unloaded the suitcase filled with clothes and makeup. The woman's face lowered, revealing the sadness that Gideon felt—a real sense of sadness, even though Elena was only pretending.

"Do I need to wait until you get inside the house?" asked a man from behind the wheel. The man's eyes stared at the magnificent palace-like house where Elena lived with her husband's family."Oh, no need, I'll be right down," Elena said as she looked at the house, hoping that her mother-in-law would not notice her arrival. There was only Katie and Abravo talking on the steps of the terrace.When he saw Elena coming downstairs with her suitcase, Abravo quickly opened the railing to let the young lady in. Katie, who was also there at the time, carried Elena's suitcase without prompting. Katie's gaze was distracted by the white luxury car that was currently turning around.

Elena smiled when she saw her husband enter the room. She then spread her arms, signaling that she was ready to receive a hug from her husband.But Jonathan didn't give her the hug she was expecting. Instantly, her smile disappeared, replaced by a look of disappointment."You're home," Jonathan said without looking at Elena. In fact, the man chose to sit on the bed and open his laptop. As if Elena's presence there didn't matter. In fact, they did not meet for almost a month.Jonathan's attitude threw Elena's memory to Asher. Of course, it would be different if Asher were the one who was currently in Jonathan's position.

Bryan escorted the Hayes family to the main entrance of Chez Rouze that afternoon. The man's lips did not stop smiling as they were about to part. The compliment that escaped their lips was the reason why."Tomorrow night, come to my house for dinner. I'll prepare your favorite meal," Theresia said, to which the other family members agreed with a nod."Yes, Auntie. I'll be there tomorrow night." Bryan replied with a confident smile."You still remember the way to my house, don't you, Bryan?" asked Jonathan in a joking tone."Of course I do! You even forgot that I grew up in your house," Bryan recalled, laughing out loud.The man remembered that, from the time he was a child until he was a teenager, he always went to Jonathan's house when school was over.
