Gideon winced in pain, and Lena raised an eyebrow. âDo you still have feelings for her? If thatâs the case, then Iâ¦â
âOf course not,â Gideon interrupted Lena, furrowing his brows. He knew who she was referring to. Ever since the day Charlotte and Joe got together, he had completely given up.
He was justâ¦
Gideon hesitated and looked at Lena. âWhat are we now?â
Lena didnât expect him to bring up this question.
âIn such an open era, you donât think having sex together means we have to be together, right?â Lena said nonchalantly.
She had figured it out the last time she returned home. She had never planned on getting married in her lifetime, nor did she necessarily need a stable romantic relationship.
Just like last time when she slept with Gideon, they were both single adults.
As long as they agreed, there was no need to take responsibility for each other.
Of course, if Gideon minded, she wouldnât force him.
Gideon strongly disagreed with this explanation.
Under the influence of the family education, he didnât approve of such a relationship, but Gideon didnât want to reject Lenaâs request.
Before he could think it through, he had already reached out his hands before figuring it out.
He reached out and grabbed Lenaâs wrist, pulling her into his embrace.
âYouâ¦â Lena couldnât even finish her sentence before Gideon fiercely kissed her, swallowing all her words.
He effortlessly undid the buttons on Lenaâs back, and soon, her dress fell to the ground. The cool night breeze brushed against her back, but before she could feel the chill, Gideonâs burning body ignited her.
This time, both of them experienced ultimate pleasure. From then on, Gideon and Lena began their secret relationship.
Their time together was not fixed, and they didnât meet every day. But as long as one hinted at it, the other would not hesitate to agree to experience unprecedented happiness together.
They never express their love to each other. Being together was more like venting their desires, but surprisingly, they fit well.
Sometimes, Gideon would even be doubtful himself. Did he really like Lena?
Every time he wanted to test if he liked Lena, her rationality would stop him.
He knew very well that Lena might be satisfied with him, but she didnât have feelings for him.
He could only keep his liking for Lena buried deep inside him and maintain their current relationship.
But soon, things changed.
That day, Gideon told Lena, as usual, that he would pick her up from work.
However, when he called her, Lenaâs assistant answered the phone.
Lena had fainted.
At that moment, Gideon panicked.
For the first time, his mind went blank, and he finally understood the sense of being lost.
He almost dashed to the hospital.
On the way, he imagined all possible conditions that Lena could be facing, but he realized that no matter what it was, he couldnât accept it.
If Lena were no longer in this worldâ¦
He didnât even dare to imagine it. Even a slight thought of it pierced his heart with pain.
It was only then that he finally confirmed one thing. He loved Lena.
