She ended up throwing it all away.

Later, she turned her attention to clam chowder, and she’d managed to get it very close to the taste of home.

Felicia suddenly remembered that she had originally learned to make this noodle dish just so she could cook it for Joshua.

She could not help but shake her head with a mocking smile.

Gideon, however, seemed to see right through her and asked, “Are you thinking about someone else?”

Felicia was taken aback, and suddenly realized that ever since she had arrived in France, she had not thought about the name Joshua for a long time.

Joshua had never tasted these noodles, and now it was a stranger who got to try her cooking first.

“Yes.” Felicia did not want to say more to him, so she simply nodded.

It was not as if she could not let go.

She just felt that life was unpredictable.

She served herself a bowl as well, completely unaware of the fleeting darkness that flashed through the man’s eyes.

In fact, Gideon did not really care about the inexplicable sense of annoyance he felt.

He had never thought he would fall in love with someone at first sight.

Especially not with a stranger he knew nothing about on the street.

So this strange feeling seemed completely unreasonable to him.

But he could not deny that Felicia was attractive and very charming.

Chapter 13

If they started getting to know each other from now on… he actually did not mind.

After all, the conservative members of his family were always urging him to start a family.

“Do you remember the numbers of your family or friends? You can use my phone.” After the meal, when the atmosphere became truly awkward, Felicia mustered her courage to start ushering

him out.

Gideon raised his eyebrows slightly–was she trying to send him away?

Felicia carefully chose her words, thinking that this was something Americans lacked compared to the French: they simply could not refuse others with a clear conscience.

“It’s not that I can’t let you stay for a while, it’s just that I have to go see my daughter soon, and it might not be convenient for you to be here alone without anyone to look after you…”

Gideon did not show any dissatisfaction; instead, he asked in confusion, “Daughter?”

So she had a family after all.

Seeing Felicia nod, Gideon stopped hesitating, borrowed her phone, and dialed a number.

Soon after, a long line of cars stopped outside. Felicia could not recognize the car logos, but they all looked very expensive.

Gideon thanked her politely and distantly, saying, “I just put a new business card in for you. If you ever need anything, feel free to contact me.”

Felicia nodded.

But she felt she would not need it.

Except for being forced against the wall and kissed, any doctor would help an injured person.

The patient’s well–being always came first.

Still, no matter how she thought about it, she felt as if she had gotten the short end of the stick.

Oh well, the man was quite handsome anyway.

If she lost out a little, so be it.

Gideon stared out the window with a blank expression.

But in his mind, he suddenly recalled the sweet taste that burst in his mouth when he pressed the woman against the wall and kissed her passionately.

And the inexplicably sexy beads of sweat when she removed the bullet for him.

The way she deliberately made him hurt during disinfection, with a flash of mischief and pride in her eyes.

The serious and meticulous look she had while cooking.

“Can the chef at home make clam chowder?”

Hearing Gideon ask this out of nowhere, Jacques suddenly froze.

Did his tastes really change so suddenly?

“Maybe we could learn it now, or hire an American chef.” Jacques offered a suggestion, but saw Gideon close his eyes and say, “No need.”

Clam chowder was nothing special.

She even had a daughter.

He wasn’t that desperate.

After cleaning up the dishes, Felicia left the house and headed toward the orphanage.
