Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 166

Gideon glanced at her coldly.

Nell continued ridiculing. “I’m telling you now, don’t you dare leave me in the next few days. The ladies might snatch you away if you’re not around me. Follow me and I’ll protect you like a little baby, hahaha!”

She burst into laughter after that but Gideon reacted stiffly.

He was a little helpless. Who would have thought that the president of Leith Corporation would be ridiculed like this?

Yet he was unable to utter a single word.

In the end, he helplessly flicked his finger at the back of Nell’s head. “I really don’t know what to do with you. Come on, let’s go. We still have to climb Mt. Herma after lunch.”

The two of them made their way back to the manor.

In the afternoon, Gideon was cooking in the kitchen and Nell automatically offered a helping hand by washing the vegetables, plates or whatnot. The two of them looked like a young loving couple when working together.

After the vegetables were cleaned, Nell had nothing else to do, so she brought a stool and sat in front of the kitchen to watch her man cook.

She realized as long as the man had good looks, he would look good no matter what he did. It included even if he was cooking in an apron and with messy hair, the valiantness on him felt like it came from within.

He looked like he was at ease, his hands moved skillfully and the spatula in his hand no longer felt like a cooking utensil. It was like a mystical weapon that could fight spirits and demons.

The wok did not feel like a wok either. It felt like an artifact that he used to command the cooking. His hands moved simultaneously, controlling every aspect of the dish in a fierce and powerful manner as if he was an unrivaled genius in cooking.

Nell curled her lips into a soft grin. She was fantasizing about her man commanding the world in her mind before she heard a loud bang.

The bang frightened Nell. She bolted up from the stool and saw Gideon nervously covering the lid over the wok. The meat inside was sizzling loudly.

Nell looked at him deeply and saw him heaved a sigh of relief.

‘Great. I’m thinking too much.’

The truth was, Gideon barely cooked but he stubbornly used his strong common sense and logical thinking to weather through the cooking.

Lunch might not look appetizing but the taste was acceptable. After lunch, the two of them packed their things and headed out to Mt. Herma.

Mt. Herma was an hour’s drive away from their manor. The two of them got into a taxi and arrived at the mountain foot after an hour.

The mountain was a famous tourist spot for tourists from all around the world. Nell and Gideon climbed the mountain.

It was a little past noon, the sun was bright and since the mountain was nearby the sea, a pleasant sea breeze was blowing constantly.

It was already 4:00 p.m. when they were halfway up the mountain. Gideon constantly worked out and exercised, so the climb was not that harsh for him. On the other hand, Nell was breathing heavily and was exhausted.

“Can you still move?” Gideon held her hand and took a bottle of water from his bag for her.

Nell took it and quickly drank some water. She nodded and said, “I can make it.”

She was determined to reach the peak. She would not allow herself to stop halfway and become a joke to others.

Nell held her breath and mustered her strength to continue climbing. Gideon followed behind her so that he could catch her if she fell and he did not want her to notice the ridiculing gaze in his eyes.

“Huh? What’s that there?” Nell straightened her body and pointed at a bloody red tree.

Many tourists were also heading over to the tree. Gideon observed for a while before he said, “I don’t know but it seems like someone is preaching..”

Nell’s interest was piqued. “Come on, let’s go have a look.”

The two of them walked over and found a little pond.
