Chapter 514 Girlfriend
Meanwhile, inside the police station, Gideon, bruised and battered, was crouched in a corner when he suddenly heard the police officer’s shout. “Gideon Steele, you can leave now!”
“Officer, can I really leave?” Gideon thought his ears were playing tricks on him.
He had been involved in a public brawl, and if nobody came to bail him, he was supposed to spend a night
there.
“Yes. Someone has come to bail you.” The police officer unlocked the metal gate before Gideon as he spoke.
Gideon was momentarily dazed before stepping out from behind the gate.
He couldn’t guess who would come to get him. With a palpitating heart, he followed behind the officer. In those few short seconds, he considered everyone possible but never thought it would be Christina.
When Gideon saw Christina standing in the hall signing papers, he felt as if all the blood in his body had run cold. He stopped short and was rooted to his spot.
After she finished signing the papers and paid the fine, she glanced over and coincidentally noticed Gideon staring at her.
A complex range of emotions played across his face. Evidently, he had never thought she would be there to bail him out of jail.
In truth, Christina was also surprised by her decision to do that.
After exiting the police station, Christina and Gideon walked one after the other. Neither of them spoke.
“Christina!”
Just as Christina was about to step off the pavement, a Mercedes-Benz SUV pulled up in front of her. When the car window was rolled down. Nathaniel’s handsome face was revealed.
However, at that moment, his brows were furrowed, and a worried expression was spread across his
countenance.
“Nathaniel?” Christina gazed at him in surprise.
Obviously, she hadn’t expected to run into him there.
Nathaniel hastily opened the door and got out of the vehicle. He carefully examined her body to check for any injuries, and only after ascertaining she was fine did he breathe a sigh of relief. Still, he couldn’t help but reprimand her, “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
“I didn’t hear my phone ring.” Christina had on a clueless face.
She took out her phone from her bag and found that she had put her phone on silent mode these past few days to focus on work and avoid getting distracted.
There were over thirty missed calls on her phone. She tapped on the screen and noticed all the calls were
from Nathaniel.
Christina stuck out her tongue guiltily. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again next time.”
Then, she immediately set her phone to ring in front of him.
When he saw how she had admitted her mistakes with alacrity and sincerity, Nathaniel’s grimace slowly dissipated.
“What are you doing here?” Nathaniel was able to track down Christina because of the global positioning system on her phone.
He was overwrought when he saw she was nearby a police station.
As he asked the question, Nathaniel looked behind Christina and saw Gideon standing not far away.
Gideon had his head lowered. At that instant, he was too ashamed to meet Nathaniel.
“Did you come here because of him?” With a single glance, Nathaniel could tell Gideon was no longer his former self.
Christina nodded. “Let’s go.”
With that, she walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and got into the vehicle, clearly not intending to bother herself with Gideon anymore.
Gideon didn’t chase after her like he used to, begging Christina to pay him attention. Instead, he merely stood in his spot and watched her leave.
She gazed at Gideon’s shrinking figure through the rearview mirror before it eventually turned into a blur. An unusually intense gloominess churned within her.
She leaned her head against the window while recalling what the police officer had told her earlier.
