Martin stood up and poured hot water for her. When the water turned warm, he handed it to her.
Giada took a few sips of water and returned the glass to him.
The atmosphere became a little depressing again. She was even a little nervous and did not know how to face Martin.
She came here just because she didn't want to face him, but she didn't expect that he would come after more than ten hours. He came to her when she needed him most.
They remained silent for a long time. Giada simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Martin had been looking at her face gently. She looked calm, and her face no longer twisted in pain.
"Gia, do you feel better?" His voice was hoarse but tender.
Giada's heart seemed to be brushed by the spring breeze. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. Seeing his concerned face, she shook her head slightly, "Yeah, you can leave and have a rest."
Martin would be worried if she stayed here alone, "I came here overnight, and I have no place to live. The surrounding hotels are full." Martin looked at her with a faint smile. He remembered what she said just now. She said that her quilt was soft and comfortable, and she asked if he wanted to sleep with her.
"Ah... Then where could you live?" Giada forgot that she was the only one living in this small house, and there were two empty rooms here.
Martin looked at her with amusement, "Gia, I still remember your invitation. Do you want to go back on your word now?"
Giada was stunned for a moment. She seemed to think of something, and her face immediately blushed.
"You... don't take it seriously. I was just joking." Giada didn't dare to look at Martin. She was crazy. Why did she say those words?
Martin pretended to be serious, "But Gia, I took your words to heart. What should I do?"
Giada suddenly looked at him with vigilance. She pulled the quilt and wrapped herself tightly.
"Don't... take it to heart. I was just joking with you. I remember that there is an empty room next door. You can sleep there." When she booked the courtyard, she checked the second floor. There were three clean and standard rooms on the second floor.
Seeing that she only revealed a pair of eyes, Martin couldn't help laughing.
"Ha-ha... Gia, why are you still so cute?"
Hearing his joyful laughter, Giada knew that Martin was teasing her.
"Martin, why are you so bad?" Giada looked at him with annoyance.
Martin said leisurely, "Gia, why do you say so?"
"Anyway, you're bad!" Giada didn't talk to him anymore. She had never flirted with a man. At this moment, she could only act shamlessly and lose her temper to hide her embarrassment.
However, she did not know that she looked even prettier in Martin's eyes.
"Gia, have you invested in the Peach Garden as well?" Looking at how shy she was, Martin couldn't bear to tease her anymore.
If he continued to tease her, she would be mad.
Speaking of work, Giada was no longer shy, "Yes, how do you know that?"
"Gia, I invested in it as well. This project belongs to Symantec Group. Auntie Alwynn runs the company very well."
"You know quite a lot. I invested in it without telling my mother." Giada looked at Martin meaningfully. She couldn't see him through.
That was reasonable. After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years.
However, Martin seemed to be more powerful than she had imagined.
"My mother has been working on the projects outside the city over the years, but she rarely develops new projects in order to spend more time with my grandparents. In her opinion, family affection is the most important."
"I didn't know it was my mother's project when I invested in it. I knew it when I attended the meeting today. I suddenly felt that I was so bold."
