Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 278

They were entangled together until midnight.

Nell was carried to the bed after being taken out of the bathroom by Gideon. Then, he dried her hair with a hairdryer and covered her with a quilt. She did not even want to move.

Gideon turned off the lights and laid down too.

He then reached out his arms, trying to hug her.

However, the woman turned over with her back facing him. She was acting like she did not want to talk to him nor pay attention to him at all.

Gideon smiled and did not force her. He simply tightened his arms around her while she lay sideways.

“My business trip tomorrow might take half a month to finish. When I come back, I’ll accompany you to Country F and you can accompany your best friend through her labor, alright?”

Nell originally did not want to talk to him, but she suddenly became energized upon hearing about Country F.

She opened her eyes to ask something, but because her heart was still angry, she kept silent.

Gideon played with her hair with one hand, wrapping the silky tendrils around his fingers. He whispered, “This trip will take longer than usual and it’ll take half a month at the earliest for me to return, so you have to take good care of yourself at home.

“I’ll leave Nancy here to take care of you. Aunt Joyce has also allowed her to fly over now. If there’s anything you need, you can go to them, and if you encounter any trouble at work, you can ask Elijah or Simon for help. You can also go to the residence and look for Grandma too.”

Nell could not endure it anymore so she turned to look at him in worry.

“What kind of work are you doing? Why do you have to leave for so long?”

Gideon remained silent.

Nell pursed her lips. She suddenly reached out to hug his waist and pressed her face against his chest.

“My heart aches for you. The entire burden of the Leith family is on your shoulders. It must be very tiring, isn’t it?”

Gideon chuckled.

"Your heart aches for me?"

"Mmhm." Nell nodded.

"Then give me a kiss."

"Save it!"

Nell slapped him on the shoulder. Although she knew that it was normal for couples to go through a lot of hardships, her heart still ached for him.

Everyone who saw this man had only seen his impressive and grand side. However, only those close to him knew how much pressure he carried.

In the end, she simply clenched her fists and pressed her face against his chest silently.

The night was long, and the room was peaceful.

Perhaps it was because she was tired from last night, but Nell slept particularly well.

When she woke up the next day, it was already almost noon.

She looked at the alarm clock and let out a scream before she immediately got out of bed.

It was only after moving that she felt the aches and pains all over her body.

Yesterday, she had been worried and saddened after hearing that the man was going on a business trip, and because of that, her drowsiness disappeared without a trace.

Nell lay back down. Covering her face with a pillow, she screamed into it.

If she had known, she would not have worried about him last night.

She sighed again and forced herself to sit up after a few seconds.
