Chapter 78

17/2

At that moment, I saw the nervous look in Gordon’s eyes. He immediately strode over, grabbed his phone and opened it to check the messages.

Then I saw his brow relax, and he tapped quickly on the phone screen to reply to it.

A mere text message from Sabrina could make him so nervous.

Sabrina was probably the only one who could make him care so much.

I felt my heart grow more aggrieved as I looked up at the sky full of silver moonlight.

I stood

up

and pretended to yawn, then said wearily, “I’m kind of tired. I want to go to sleep. Why don’t you

sit here for a while?”

“No. Let’s head down together,” he said impassively to me as he pocketed his phone.

I yawned again and looked at his phone in his pocket.

At that moment, something drove me to say, “I heard that Sabrina already has a boyfriend.”

I didn’t know why I blurted it out. Perhaps I simply wanted to see Gordon’s reaction. After all, he was such

a possessive person.

“I know, but they aren’t suited for each other. That man doesn’t match well with her.”

I hadn’t expected him to answer me at once. His words implied that he already knew a lot about Sabrina’s life, and I could sense that he was confident of being the victor.

It indeed rendered me speechless.

“How do you know they aren’t suited for each other? Are you compatible with her then?”

I didn’t do it deliberately, but the words just seemed to tumble out of me. Gordon finally seemed to

realize what I was hinting at. He suddenly fathed and flicked me on the forehead.

“Are you serious? Are you actually jealous of a young woman?”

Young woman?

She was Gordon’s sweetheart.

Did he know that in the near future, he would love her so desperately that he would behave like a male lead character in a trashy romance novel?

I laughed mirthlessly and pressed my lips together.

“I won’t be jealous anymore, I’m very calm. If you started dating her tomorrow, I’d give in immediately.”

I tried my best to appear indifferent.

Gordon’s smile immediately disappeared, and his voice turned cold once more.

Chapter 78

“I’m not a playboy who likes any woman he sees.”

He would eat his own words.

I couldn’t help mocking him inwardly, but I said, “I hope so.”

“Alright, you’re always bickering with me. Let’s go downstairs!”

He reached out and slung an arm around my shoulders as he steered me forcefully down the stairs.

I bent down hastily and dodged his arm before circling behind him. He looked angrily at me, and I laughed. I racked my brain for an explanation.

“This staircase is so narrow that we can’t walk side by side.”

He knew that I was simply making an excuse, but he stuck his hands in his pockets and sauntered

downstairs first.

I trailed behind him, but he unexpectedly entered the master bedroom again. The moment he stepped in, he immediately took off his sweater and the white T–shirt inside.
