The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639

However, Derek did not enter the vehicle with Wilder. Finally, he walked away. He didn’t bring an umbrella, so he got soaked in the rain.

Gilda happened to have an extra umbrella, and she was a kind-hearted person. She quickly reached Derek out in the storm and gave him the umbrella.

“So that’s how we first met. Derek seemed dejected at the moment, but as our friendship grew, I learned that he was really a pretty jovial guy.” Gilda lowered her chin and grinned sheepishly.

Natalie pieced everything together and realized that Brandon was injured and sent to the hospital on the same day that Gilda met Derek.

Natalie was worried about Brandon at the moment and paid no attention to anybody else around her. Both Derek and she had close calls that day. They were able to escape a collision because of Derek’s brother, but she didn’t even exp**ss gratitude as she only had eyes for Brandon. At that point, Derek should have been very sad.

In the middle of their conversation, Derek rudely burst out of the room.

“It’s time to go, Gilda.”

His demeanor suggested he was fuming.

Natalie approached him and said, “What happened? Did you have an argument with Brandon inside?”

“Not really. I’m just leaving with my girlfriend.” Derek took a single step before turning around and murmuring to Natalie, “Brandon is a sly one. My best judgment is that he’s just feigning illness because he wants you to nurse him for a few more days. Do not fall for that!”

Natalie sighed helplessly and said, “Don’t worry. I understand what has to be done.”

In dismay, Derek cast a gaze in her direction. Natalie was so blindly in love! He bade Natalie farewell before leaving with Gilda.

Derek dragged Gilda out of the hospital angrily to somewhere that was quieter. He then let go of her hand and complained, “How dare Brandon vent his anger at me! I have never been treated like that by anyone before!”

Although the sun shone brightly in Barnes today, the chilly winter winds could still make people shiver.

Gilda was slender, and her dress was blown wildly against the wind. She held herself tightly to keep herself warm as her body shivered slightly from the piercing cold wind.

Derek saw her shivering and quickly took off his coat, wr*pping it around her thin shoulders.

“Wilder should be arriving soon. Let’s just wait a little longer,” he assured her.

Gilda smiled at Derek’s graciousness. She then glanced towards the door of the in-patient department and tugged Derek’s sleeve.

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Natalie? Are you just going to leave like this?” she asked in confusion.

Wasn’t he here to see Natalie?

Gilda could tell that Derek still liked Natalie. However, he always hid his emotions in his heart, giving others the imp**ssion that he didn’t really care.

Derek choked and darted his eyes away guiltily. He hurriedly changed the topic as he didn’t want to admit that Gilda was right.

“I don’t know what you are talking about. Anyway, are you hungry? Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the new French restaurant last time? How about I take you there now?”

“Oh, you still remembered. Thanks, but I don’t want to have dinner with you. I don’t want to date a man with another woman in his heart,” Gilda said coldly and walked away.

Derek’s heart tightened as he heard the resoluteness in her voice.

“Where are you going? Who said that I’m in love with another woman?” he asked helplessly. He was confused by Gilda’s sudden anger and followed her subconsciously. He called out to her, “I came here today to have a clean break with my first love. I truly hope to start a new beginning with you.”
