Chapter 591 Only A Matter Of Time
Sharon was injured and admitted to the hospital twice in a row. Christina was sure that it had something to do with Gideon, so she was annoyed when she saw him.
Gideon was holding an exquisite fruit basket in his hand. After rubbing his sleeves down, he handed the fruit basket over to Christina with a dry smile. His tired eyes shimmered with expectation. It was clear he was trying to please Christina.
“I came to see your mother and bought some fruit for her.” Worried that Christina might detest his effort, he added immediately, “I bought it with money that I earned myself. It’s clean.”
Christina studied Gideon without any expression on her face.
The clothes that Gideon was wearing were made with cheap material. His shirt was so well-worn that the threads had come off the cuffs. As for his black pants, there were some fluffs on the knee area. His canvas shoes were clean, but the soles were coming off.
He looked old and exhausted, and his head was filled with white hair.
The father she remembered used to be so confident and insisted on wearing branded stuff. That man was long gone. The downfall of the Steele family changed him not only in terms of lifestyle but also his character.
Christina refused to accept the fruit basket. Gideon did not know what to do. He lowered his gaze and said, “If it’s inconvenient, I will come another time.”
“Aren’t you here to see my mom? Go on.” Christina moved aside to let him in. “She has just regained consciousness and is looking good this morning. But she can’t take any more surprises. Please watch yourself and don’t hurt her.”
Gideon was delighted and surprised at the same time. As he spoke, he tried to hold back his tears. “Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to see her!”
Christina pursed her lips and turned around to open the door for him.
When Bailey saw Gideon, she got out of the room while holding a soup bowl, then pulled Christina to one
corner.
“Christina, what are you up to? I thought you hated Gideon?”
“This is between the old folks. You won’t understand.”
To that, Bailey sneered and sat down on a bench. She continued to eat the chicken that was in the bowl.
It was then Christina realized she might have said something that caused Bailey to recall some unhappy memories, so she said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Bailey. I wasn’t referring to anything else.”
Bailey swallowed her food and looked up at Christina with a bright smile. “Why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“I thought you.” Christina stopped herself, not knowing what to say.
“I just got cheated. That’s all. It’s common to meet a semi bag” Bailey patted Christina’s hair with her oily hand.
“Don’t worry If I say that things have ended between me and Julian, then it has ended for good. I won’t go back to him. It has become my past, and I am not ashamed of it. I’m not such a sentimental person.”
When Christina saw that Bailey was her usual cheerful self again, she smiled faintly. “That’s good. I’m sure it won’t be difficult for you to find someone better than Julian. If you have any issues, I can ask Nathaniel to help you. I’m sure you will be satisfied.”
Bailey rolled her eyes and said angrily. “Why am I getting the feeling that you are going to set me up for blind dates?”
“Are you worried that the guys we choose for you won’t be to your liking?”
