Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 463

“It’s already quite late, we should make a move.”

At that point, Gale also stood up and offered. “Since you’re all here today, why not stay for dinner?”

Nell coldly rejected the offer. “It’s fine, we still have some things to do.”

Then, she walked off first.

Her attitude revealed her blatant dislike toward him, causing Gale to rub his nose, feeling a little awkward.

Gideon glanced over at him without saying anything. They had known each other long enough to be able to communicate with each other just by exchanging looks.

Gale chuckled. “I’ll have to ask for your help with this issue. Nelly might distrust me, but she should listen to your words.”

Gideon sighed. “I’ll try my best but I’ll always respect her opinion. Whichever choice she makes in the end, I will not stop her.”

His reply was no different than a polite refusal of Gale’s request.

Gale could do nothing about it, so he merely nodded. “Alright, I understand.”

With that, the group left the Tiger’s Den.

Taking a look at the time, Liam said, “It’s already quite late and you guys won’t have anything to do when you get back anyway. Why don’t you guys come take a break at my place and have some dinner?”

Just as Nell wanted to nod, her phone suddenly rang.

As she looked at her phone, she frowned before accepting the call.

It was a call from Joseph Garrett. He asked in an urgent tone, “Nelly, are you still in Country F?”

Nell nodded as she asked, “Uncle, what’s wrong?”

Joseph urged. “Your grandfather is in critical condition, if possible, please get a flight back tonight. You should at least send him off one last time.”

Nell trembled. She did not want to believe what she had heard.

She just stood there as her mind went blank. In that instance, all her senses had been completely drowned out for a moment.

After a long period of silence, she barely managed to force out her own voice.

“H-how… He was still doing fine when I called him just a few days ago…”

Through the phone, she could tell that Joseph was also feeling down.

“These sorts of things can change over just a few days… Your grandfather’s body was already at its limit even a few months ago. He had tried his best to barely hold on for the past few months but it seems like it’s the end of the road. The only thing he wants right now is to see your face. I really hope that you can come back. I hope you can at least grant him his last wish.”

Nell fell silent as her grip on her phone became tighter.

After another long pause, she replied with a soft voice, “Alright, I understand. I’ll make the arrangements immediately.”

After she hung up, she glanced over at Gideon, all teary-eyed. Her voice had almost completely disappeared, leaving her with faint sobbing sounds.

“Gideon, Uncle said… Grandfather… He’s at his limits…”

In reality, when she was speaking on the phone, Gideon could already hear Joseph’s words through the phone.

His heart sank as he looked at the time on his wristwatch. Then, he turned around to take a look at Liam.
