Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 12

Gideon Leith turned his head and finally looked at Nell.

The small woman wearing a beige windbreaker still looked clean and fresh, but there seemed to be a faint trace of sadness in the depths of her eyes which he keenly caught.

His gaze deepened but he did not comment on it. Instead, he nodded slightly.

“Mm, a little.”

Nell forced a smile.

Men were really good at lying. With how strong the smell of alcohol was, how could it have been a little?

It was clear that he had drank a lot!

However, she had no right to and was too embarrassed to be concerned about him, so she simply pursed her lips and remained silent.

Matthew turned his head to ask her with a smile, “Ms. Jennings, where do you live?”

Nell told him the address and Matthew entered it into the navigation device before driving.

The car was filled with silence. Nell laced her fingers over her lap and leaned her head to look out of the window.

Perhaps it was because the aura of the man beside her was too powerful, but Nell felt inexplicably reserved. Her spine was pulled taut.

Gideon looked at her stiff appearance and silently lifted the corner of his lips.

“Did you come out of the Jennings residence?”

Nell was stunned and responded, “Oh, yes.”

“As far as I know, you don’t usually go back there. Why did you suddenly decide to go?”

As a woman who had slept with such a bigshot, Nell had expected that he would investigate her background, so she was not surprised that he knew about her situation.

She hesitated and did not give a direct answer.

“There were some private affairs… I had to take care of.”

“Private affairs?”

Gideon raised his brows. His handsome face seemed to wear a faint smile in the dim light. He tapped his finger by the window.

“I thought that as legal husband and wife, I should have the right to know about your private affairs.

He said this with a smile. If it were a different person, Nell would have thought that he was joking.

However, she knew that it was not a joke.

Although the corners of his mouth were lifted in a smile, his eyes were very serious. It seemed like he was warning her— It was better for her to tell him honestly instead of forcing him to personally investigate.

Nell gave a helpless wry smile and did not dare to resist. She had no choice but to tell him what happened honestly.

In her heart, she had secretly looked forward to this.

After all, it was her name printed along with his on that red book. He would probably help her if he saw his woman being bullied!

For example, immediately turning the car around and rushing back to the Jennings villa to help her vent her anger!

Unexpectedly—

“In other words, you were feeling sad about that scumbag?”

Nell Jennings. “???”

‘Big guy, isn’t your point of focus a little off?’

She smiled awkwardly. “No, I’m not sad! Who said I was sad?”

The smile on Gideon’s lips became slightly mocking.

Nell bit her lip, feeling a little guilty.

Her gaze drifted for a moment before she eventually lowered her voice and mumbled, “I’m just unsatisfied! Putting aside the fact that my boyfriend was taken away from me for no reason, I have to go along with their act and watch them show off their love. Just thinking about it makes me depressed!”

Gideon looked at the gloomy look in her eyes and pondered.
