Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 174

She held the glass in her hand, taking sip after sip. Gideon also poured himself a glass.

He held her hand and sat down on the couch.

The night on top of the mountain was quiet. The two of them hugged each other on the couch in the transparent house, drinking their wine as they enjoyed the moment.

The stars flickered in the sky, the lights from the myriad of households shone, it was a heartwarming scene to look at.

Nell thought she had quite the tolerance for alcohol, so she did not hold back with the wine. To her surprise, before she could even finish her glass, she started to feel dizzy.

She dizzily leaned on Gideon’s shoulder, asking, “Gideon, I feel dizzy.”

Gideon looked at her deeply.

The bottle of wine was taken from the Davis Family’s wine cellar, it was one of the best they had. It tasted delicious but the after-effect was strong.

It was the reason why he only allowed her to have one glass.

He saw the flush on her woman’s face and the lazy and blurry cat eyes, he knew she had a little more than enough.

Gideon put the glasses on the tea table and said, “Let’s go have a bath.”

He then carried her in his arms.

Nell was dizzy but not drunk, she was still conscious when he carried her.

“Bath? What bath? I thought we were on top of a mountain?”

He did not answer her. A moment later, he brought her to a bathroom.

The bathroom was not huge but by no means small either. In the center of the bathroom was a big bathtub, surrounded by walls that reflected the glistening water inside it. It felt dreamy at first glance.

Gideon helped her adjust the water temperature before putting her into the bathtub.

“You gonna wash yourself up? Or do you need me to do it for you?”

Nell had goosebumps all over her body when she soaked herself into the warm water, it cleared up her mind a little.

When she realized where she was, her cheeks were beet red, she put her hands in front of her chest and shook her head.

“I-I’ll wash myself up.”

Gideon smiled. He let her have her way and walked out.

Time flew by.

Gideon waited for her outside for a long while but Nell had not come out.

He took a sip of wine and then looked at the time.

It has already been 40 minutes since then.

Even though there was a newly built water-heater system on the mountain, the weather was cold and the water-heater system was a last-minute addition, so it might not be able to deliver hot water to the bathtub endlessly.

‘The water should be cold after 40 minutes.’

Gideon frowned. Even though the house was equipped with a heater, the difference in the temperature between day and night was huge. It was still chilly at night.

He stood up and went to knock on the bathroom door.

“Nelly, are you done?”

To his surprise, he did not get an answer.

He frowned harder. He tried opening the door but it was locked from the inside.

‘This woman! Isn’t she a little too cautious?!’

Gideon did not know whether to cry or to laugh. They were the only ones in the house on top of the mountain, if he really wanted to force his way to her, a mere lock would never stand in his way.

He helplessly shook his head. He had to go search for the key to open the door.

“Nelly, are you done? I’m coming in.”

There was still no reply from inside.

He had a feeling that something was wrong, so he quickly opened the door.

When he went in, the mist in the bathroom had cleared up. Nell was soaking herself in the bathtub with her eyes closed. She was not moving a muscle, it seemed like she was fast asleep.

He was speechless when he saw the scene. He quickly went over and tested the temperature of the water.

‘It’s cold…’
