Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Argument “She wanted to leave, and there is nothing surprising in it, but she was lucky that I arrived just in time. The weird fact is that, dad asked me to protect her, just before it happened.”

“What?”

“He asked me to see hint. I did. He asked me to keep Alice safe until he gets to know more about the situation.”

“What situation?”

“I don’t know, Gideon. The only thing that I know is there is a man. He showed me information about him, and I think he is related to what is happening, but I know nothing else. You know him. He likes puzzles. He said he doesn’t want to tell more until he puts the pieces together.”

I knew that well. Dad always gave us jobs, and direction, but he often told us everything in the end. It was annoying, of course, but we couldn’t do anything about it.

“Will you i come to see dad today as well?” I asked him.

“Yes. I’m interested too. Will you bring Alice?”

“Of course. I won’t leave her alone, not for a minute.”

He only nodded.

About an hour passed, when Alice and Ava left the ice, we stood up and walked to them.

“Are you tired enough?”

Seth asked her little one, who looked at him with a broad smile and with her rosy cheeks, shaking her head.

“No, daddy, we are not tired, we are hungry.”

“Good then. We can have lunch. Gideon, Alice, are you coming with us? Leah is out shopping. We’ll meet her in the city for lunch.”

I folded my arm around Alice’s waist, and I looked at them apologetically.

“Seth, I think that is better if we are going home and having lunch there.”

Seth nodded. He understood me, unlike Ava “Alice, are you not coming with me?” Ava looked at her, disappointed.

Alice couldn’t say anything to the that, so I answered.

“No, not this time, but we can all see each other in the evening. We are going to see grandpa and grandma,”

It didn’t make the little one happier, but she nodded. I had to smile at her.

They both sat down and took their skates off. When they were ready, we walked out of the building, and parted finally, “Ais so cute,” Alice told me while we were on the way back home. I smiled.

She is, and she likes you so much.”

“She really enjoys skating. She is at the perfect age to start it, and if she likes it skater”

“Do you think she would bear everything it takes?”

“Yes. That’s all about willingness,”

“She is still so young to be surrounded by the media.

In that Imuch, I won’t wonder if she would become a professional figure Chapter 46 Argument “There are junior competitions, but to compete with the adults she needs to be fifteen, at least at the moment.”

“I’m guessing then you were teen at your first competition.”

I glanced at her, as that “yes” wasn’t happy at all. She looked miserable, and that made me feel guilty again. I was the reason she stopped competing. I was the reason she needed to skip everything that she reached since she was little. Because of me, all the hard work lost its meaning.

“Would you still compete, Alice?” I saw she looked at me suddenly.

by do you ask that?”

“Why “That wasn’t an answer.”

She exhaled.

“It’s difficult. Gideon, I should train a lot more, and it costs a lot of money.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“That’s not a problem with me.”

She shook her head with a sigh.

“Gideon, at the moment, I wouldn’t feel safe to perform. Second, I wouldn’t feel right if you would spend that much on me. I don’t even know you, eventually.”

annoyed me. I pulled on the side of the road, and I looked at her.

I couldn’t accept her answer, and it’s also an “Alice, you are in this situation because I put you in it. Is it cost a lot? I don’t care. I pay for that happily. My family and I can defend you. You don’t need to worry about that either. And at last, please don’t say that you don’t know me. That is ridiculous”

“But this is the tr sighed truth, Gideon. I don’t know you. How could I trust you? First, you didn’t give a shit about me, and you told me... never mind.” She y eyes in disbelief. That was a part that I really couldn’t take... an argument between a woman and I.

I closed my “Never mind, that is right.” I said, and I regretted that instantly after it slipped out of my mouth.

I turned on the engine, and I drove home. She was angry. I knew. She didn’t even wait for me. She walked inside the house on her own.

I couldn’t stand that, not with her. I looked at the sky. It wasn’t just that a woman huffed because of me; it was the fact that I cared.

I walked into the house and I found her in the living room. I stopped at the door, and I crossed my arms, looking at her. She looked at me, frowned.

“What?”

“Alice, if you want to compete, then compete. I told you.”

“How could I? Competing isn’t easy, Gideon. It needs focusing. How can you expect me to compete and train at ease when a mañia group wants to have me?”

“They won’t dare to get close to you. You have us, I told you”

That will not work, Gideon.”

I frowned. I couldn’t accept that.

“I saw many videos about you, u, and I know the person who is speaking not isn’t you. Alice, you are the strongest and bravest person who I ever met... Don’t tell me it will not work.”

She lowered her head for a moment, then she looked at me.

Chapter 45 Argument “What do you know about me. Gideon?”

Her question made me frown. Even if she wasn’t with me for a long time, and our relationship didn’t start in a good way, I didn’t expect her to ask me
