Chapter 114 Forced relationship
She sighed.
“Your father owes a favour from mine. I’m not going into details, but that is the reason I’m here.”
I only stared at her. Even if I wanted to know what she was talking about, but there was one thing that she didn’t know. I knew that her family was broke. I knew I should tell my father about that, but after my family turned their back on me, I didn’t want to help them either.
“Have you had dinner?”
She asked.
“No, and thanks for reminding me. I’m going to have dinner now.”
She stood up at the same time as me
“I invite you for dinner.”
I looked at her.
“No thanks. I’m going on my own.”
“Gideon, please.” She sighed in disbelief while rolling
z her eyes.
*What is happening, Amber? What did he do again?” I closed my eyes in disbelief this time, when I heard my father’s voice.
“I only invited him for dinner, as we both missed dinner.”
“Go together then.” He said, ke he solved all the problems between us.
“I want to go alone.” I told my dad, but that apparently made him angry.
“Gideon, behave yourself. To my knowledge, we taught you manners. She was inviting you. That is the least you would accept her invitation”

She held my hand, and she tried to pull me with her. I got my hand free, and I just walked after her, giving a meaningful look at my f Esther

She said that happily, and she got into it. I got into the driver’s seat.
“I type the postcode in, you’ll love that place.”
I didn’t say a word. I just turned on the engine, then I drove to the address. She talked a lot to me ducing dinner, ignoring my ignorance. That made me fuming inside, but I told myself to stay calm. I kept reminding myself of my people, who would stand behind me from now on, and I also got that in mind, Alice would be with me like before shortly.
Finally, the d
dinner ended, and I paid, of course. I drove back to the club, and I just sat back in my usual place, ignoring them two.
A long time passed when Amber asked us to excuse her. She needed to go to the bathroom. She said that like I would have cared about that. That made me smile. As soon as she left, I stood up, and I went to my father.
“What kind of four do you owe from this family?
He looked at me, surprised, then his gaze darkened.
“You have nothing to do with that, son.”

“You do everything to push me to her to get back mum’s sympathy, aren’t you?”
I could see on his facial expression that I was right.
“Son, I just want you to be happy, and that would be good for the friendship of the two families, too. Amber is a really nice girl. Please, just try at

“Don’t you care about how I feel about her?”
“I know you well. I raised you. Amber is a kind a woman who could make you happy. She is so into you. And you can’t be alone forever. That life that
you used to live isn’t healthy, I think it’s really time to find someone who could make you think about marriage, perhaps having a family.”
“Dad, if I want to get married, I can find the right woman myself.”
He looked at me.
“Yeah, we experienced that already.”
That hit me. I could see he regretted instantly what he said, but that changed nothing.
“Well, don’t get me wrong, but you found a girl for me to marry, so I think you should let me do that this time.”
His facial expression changed more after I finished this sentence and he couldn’t say a word. Even if he could have found the words to speak, he needed to be quiet as Amber walked back into the room.
“Am I coming at the wrong time?”
My father looked at her and shook his head.
“Amber dear, actually, I wanted to ask you something.
“I’m listening, Spencer.”
aring to call my dad like that made me feel like I wanted to puke.

“We’ll be having a family lunch tomorrow, and my wife is really excited to see you. Take it as an invitation, darling.”
That was another kick that I felt that night.
“Oh, Spencer, thank you so much. I’m accepting the invitation happily.”
They both smiled at each other. I felt like I couldn’t take that any longer.
“Excuse me.” I said, and I walked out of the room quickly. Taking deep breaths, I tried to calm myself. I checked the time. It was eight o’clock. I thought I would try.
“Are you awake?”
“Yes, I’m about to go to bed. What is wrong, Gideon?”
“My parents invited that whore for lunch tomorrow. I’m fuming
It took a little while for her to answer.
“Calm down, Gideon. Play your role and hurry with your plan.”
