The greatest man alive novel (by Maverick Bowman) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Take a Backseat

“Gussie also felt that she stayed too close to Nathan, but there was nothing she could do about it. The newsstand was not a huge place, and the wind was extreme. If taken one step away, they would have to be wet by the rain. ”

She could only stand sideways, try to keep a distance from Nathan and try her best to avoid physical contact.

“When is this rain going to stop? I’m completely stir–crazy!” Gussie said with a sigh.

“Well…” Nathan just smiled. To him, being trapped here with a beautiful lady was kind of a blessing.

Gussie felt annoyed and upset. She said, “How could I be so unlucky?”

Nathan said calmly, “Don’t be so sentimental. The only person who can control your fate is you. There is no such thing as unlucky.”

Gussie pursed her lips and said, “You don’t understand the feeling of always taking a backseat and being bullied and looked down upon for everything I do.”

Nathan said, “I really don’t. Most people have to flatter me to have a better life.”

Gussie glanced at Nathan and said, “You’re right. I’ve worked hard, but the gap is too great!”

She hugged herself. The strong wind blew rain on her, making her shiver in the cold.

Nathan took off his coat and covered it on Gussie like a gentleman.

Gussie covered the coat. She could feel Nathan’s temperature on it, which made her feel warm and safe.

“The Reagan family has bullied me since I was a child, especially Flavia. I don’t even remember how many times she has

beaten me.”

“I have to grovel to her to avoid being bullied…”

“Sometimes, when she beat me outside, someone else would see it and come up to dissuade her.”

“However, they would walk away after knowing her identity as if nothing had happened.”

“And she would be worse to me after they leave.”

Gussie looked at the heavy rain outside the window. The rain made outside a hazy world, and the newsstand looked like an

island in the city.

Such a unique environment gave her the urging to open her heart to him, so she told Nathan about all her experiences and

grievances over the years.

“Mom couldn’t bear such humiliation, so she left the Reagan family. Until now, I still don’t know where she is.” Gussie sighed.

“My life in the Reagan family was even more difficult after that. Feeling I couldn’t stand it anymore, I came to Mimar City to study…”

“To avoid the Reagan family, I went abroad and studied in Nordime.”

“I looked solid and fierce, but I am actually very timid…”

“I was just trying to hide my fragility.”

Gussie was about to cry when she told the story. The miserable living of the past twenty years made her miserable and hurt her deeply.

Nathan agreed, “You did look like a cold and arrogant beauty when you first returned home, but I know you are just a little

pussy!”

Gussie argued, “Can you be more polite? What kind of person would talk like that? It’s so horrible!”

Nathan laughed, “I was only saying the fact. You are always hard on me, but what about the people of the Reagan family? You’ve been obedient and groveling to them!”
