Chapter 291

---- Chapter 291 After Giselle read Gideon's text message, she felt slightly lost. "What's wrong? Is it work-related? If you tell me what's going on, I might be able to help," she couldn't help but text back. "It's not work-related," Gideon replied. "It's a long story, and it happened quite suddenly. Please don't overthink this. Just give me a couple of days to sort everything out." Giselle didn't hear from him after that. The current situation was making her extremely anxious. She didn't know what happened to Gideon.

But whatever it was, it must have caused such a huge setback that he postponed their marriage despite how much he'd been looking forward to it. After thinking about it, she figured that Ethan must've pressured him into rethinking this marriage somehow. She lay back down on her bed. Before she knew it, she started developing a lot of pessimistic thoughts. She'd trusted Gideon with her entire heart.

She wasn't upset over the broken wedding plans -she was upset because the man she'd placed so much faith in had let her down too, After laying on her bed for two hours, she stopped caring about why Gideon had postponed their marriage. She didn't even care whether they would get married anymore. Instead, she sat by herself and quietly tried to process the crushing ---- feeling of being let down. Lacking the will to do anything, Giselle skipped lunch and ended up spending half of the day feeling drowsy.

Feeling mentally and physically exhausted, she was just about to fall asleep when she heard her bedroom door open. She turned around in shock and found that Donovan had entered her room! Dazed, Giselle stared at him for a moment before she came to her senses and sprang up from the bed. "What are you doing here?" she asked in an exasperated manner. Donovan knew the password to her door lock. When she went missing, he entered her house relatively often and even took the keys to her bedroom. Hence, he was now able to come and goas he pleased.

With an emotionless expression , he leaned against her door frame and lit up a cigarette like he always did. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he asked, "Aren't you supposed to register your marriage today?" "That's none of your business!" Giselle snapped. She couldn't be bothered to entertain his questions , but she didn't have the energy to kick him out of her house either. So, she lay on the bed with her back turned toward him and stayed quiet. "He didn't show up, didn't he?" he puffed out a cloud of white ---- smoke and continued asking.

Upon noticing how nonchalant Donovan sounded, a thought suddenly occurred to her. She swiftly turned around and stared at him before asking, "Did you do something to Gideon?" Donovan didn't respond immediately . Leaning against the door frame, he finished smoking his cigarette and said, "If you want to know why he didn't show up, I can take you to him and show you what's going on." Giselle grew even more confused. She stared fixedly at the unreadable man before her and wondered about what he did to Gideon. Did Donovan threaten or hurt Gideon?

Was the latter detained in some place against his will? She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. Gideon was arrogant and stubborn. There was no way he'd be threatened that easily. "Let's go."' Donovan put out his cigarette and stared at Giselle inacalm manner. Giselle fell silent. She was extremely worried about Gideon's safety. So, she didn't hesitate any further. She got out of bed and quickly changed into a set of casual clothes. Then, she doubtfully followed Donovan out of the door. Donovan was driving the car while Giselle was seated in the ---- back seat.
