This guest room was something Gideon had specially asked the staff to prepare.
The room was not too big, at just a couple thousand square feet. However, it was quite intricately decorated. Most importantly, he had the staff specially decorate it to be a couple suite.
From the transparent glass bathroom to the rose petals and candles scattered around the room, everything reeked of romanticism.
Once Gideon had finished slicing the steak on his plate, he handed it over to her, exchanging it for the uncut steak that was originally on her plate.
Since the two had similar tastes, they usually order the same thing. Hence, Nell did not reject the offer as she just started to eat the sliced steak with her fork.
“Gideon Leith, what’s the occasion today for you to suddenly bring me out to such a romantic getaway?”
The man, who was busy slicing the second steak, raised his brow as he looked at her.
“You don’t remember?”
Nell was stunned. “Remember what?”
A sense of helplessness showed in the man’s eyes. It was almost as if he knew it was coming.
As Nell was still oblivious to the situation, he suddenly put down his fork and spoon, and pulled out a red gift box from under the table.
“Nell, happy first anniversary!”
Nell was shocked.
A-a-anniversary?
“Cough, cough!”
Hearing the three words, she almost choked on the piece of steak she was still chewing. After letting out a few light coughs, she looked straight at Gideon, completely wide-eyed.
“You mean… Today is the first anniversary of our marriage?”
Gideon’s facial expression stiffened.
A few seconds later, he finally opened his mouth with a smile. “What do you think?”
Nell was speechless.
She finally realized what was going on.
It was not surprising that this man was acting so strange!
Not only did he ask her to come from the set to accompany him just for a day but he also forced her to change into a dress.
He had also booked such a romantic couple suite and popped a few bottles of red wine…
Today was their wedding anniversary!
At this moment, the only thing Nell could feel right now was pure embarrassment and regret.
To be fair, she had felt that her memory was still quite good. There was a saying that a pregnancy aged a brain by three years, but she had not even gotten pregnant yet, how could her memory suddenly be so bad?
To think she could not even remember something as simple as a wedding anniversary.
Nell awkwardly laughed a little. “Ummm… I’m sorry… I-I didn’t know today is… I... I didn’t prepare a present, but I’ll make it up to you tomorrow!”
Even as she spoke, she could feel her body filling up with guilt!
The anniversary was today after all! What was the point of giving the gift after the anniversary?
Immediately after, her feelings of shame turned into anger, specifically toward a certain someone.
He knew this would happen but he still did not remind her about it. Now, she was forced to look so awkward in front of him… This man was just…
Gideon cheekily smirked. “No worries. Open up the gift, see if you like it.”
Nell swallowed hard as she saw the red gift box on the table.
Then, she glanced up to look at Gideon once more. Although he was sporting his classic fake smile, it seemed like he was not angry for now. With that brief sense of relief, she cautiously reached her hand out and opened the gift.
Inside the red gift box was a pure green jade bangle, resting on top of a bed of black silk.
Nell’s eyes glimmered.
“Wow! What a beautiful looking bangle!”
Gideon looked at her intently. “Do you like it?”
“Yes!”
High-quality imperial jade was already rare enough, but based on the deep coloring of this bangle, it must be of even higher quality than those imperial jade ornaments she had seen in auctions.
