Chapter 237 A Tit for Tat âI donât think our relationship has anything to do with Mr. Smith.â Charlotte coldly interrupted Joe. âMr.
Smith, you said you want to talk about the Holiday Resort with Moontide, please donât ask these questions anymore.â
Her tone was a little sharp. Not only did Joe notice it, but even Gideon gave her a sidelong glance.
Gideon patted her hand comfortingly and smiled gently. âOur relationship is still in progress. As for what will happen in the future, I am also looking forward to it.â
Joeâs face darkened. He looked up at Gideon and said, âMr. McKinney should understand that you could not easily touch someone else.â
Gideon acted as if he didnât feel the pressure coming from Joe, smiled, and said, âMr. Smith, you should understand that there are many people in the world who make mistakes, but not everyone has a chance to make up for them.â
One of them had a fierce aura, while the other was magnanimous and gentle. When they clashed, neither side had Won.
Charlotte coughed softly and asked, âArenât we here for lunch?â
Joe and Gideon looked at her at the same time. Gideon lowered his eyes and smiled. âItâs my fault. I was so focused on chatting with Mr. Smith that I forgot that youâre hungry.â
He picked up the menu on the table, quickly added a few dishes, and then asked someone to start preparing.
Once again, Charlotte was surprised to find that the dishes that Gideon had ordered were all her favorites.
âAre you surprised that I know your taste?â Gideon raised his eyebrows and asked.
Charlotte nodded unceremoniously.
âThis is what a pursuer should do.â Gideon smiled mysteriously. âDonât say that you donât know that Iâm pursuing you. This will make my pursuit seem useless.â
Charlotte was silent.
Joe on the other side slightly tightened his grip on his forks.
For the rest of the meal, Joe and Gideon argued with each other in secret.
At first, Charlotte wanted to stop them and tried to shift the topic to the Holiday Resort, but later she gave up when she found that she couldnât persuade them.
She had never thought that she would see such a childish side of them.
Finally, when the meal was over, Charlotte said before they could speak, âGideon, youâre tired today. Iâll send you back first.â
Gideon smiled gently and said, âThank you.â
Charlotte didnât even spare Joc a glance and turned to leave with Gideon. Unexpectedly, Joe stopped her. âI want to see the children tomorrow, okay?â
âWhat a coincidence. I promised Ben and Anna yesterday that I would watch a movie with them. Iâm afraid they wonât have time tomorrow.â Gideon apologized in a gentle voice.
As expected, Joeâs expression changed.
âGideon is right. If you want to see the children, you can pick them up when school is over next time.â
Charlotte nodded slightly at Joe with an indifferent attitude.
Joe just stood there and watched them get in the car and leave.
After getting in the car, Charlotte didnât know how to face Gideon for a moment. Unexpectedly, he smiled first and said, âHow is it? Was what I said just now perfect?â
Charlotte looked at Gideon in shock, and then she seemed to heave a sigh of relief. âWas what you just sayâ¦?â
âOf course itâs true.â Gideon was not stupid enough to deny his words. âI just donât want to give you any pressure. If you havenât felt my pursuit yet, you can treat me as an ordinary friend.â
