Chapter 373

---- Chapter 373 "Stop acting crazy," Giselle snapped. She didn't want to hear another word. Her mind grew more and more restless as she pried his hands off her waist. "You're being irrational, and it only makes me afraid of you and want to stay away even more."" Gideon had no choice but to let go. He drew in a deep breath and said, "Alright then. Go. I'll keep my madness to myself from now on. I won't trouble you anymore. Just leave." After those words, a sharper pain gripped his chest.

Fearing the haze of alcohol might push him into recklessness, he dragged his drenched body and staggered toward the stairs. When he finally staggered upstairs, Giselle said nothing more and quietly made her way to the door. Just as she stepped outside , a woman suddenly appeared in front of her. The woman stood with her arms crossed, glaring at her with deep resentment. Beside her, a nanny held a toddler about a year old. The child was quiet this time and just looked at Giselle curiously. "Hello," Giselle said after a brief pause, realizing the woman. before her was Gideon's ex, Cecilia.

She was also the one who had given hima son. ---- "Ms. Holt," Cecilia said sharply. "If I'm not mistaken, you're already married. Why are you here in my husband's house, flirting and clinging to him?" The sharp accusation left Giselle momentarily stunned , but she quickly recovered. "Ms. York, you're exaggerating . I only came today to return Mr. Grayson's dog. I happened to find him in poor spirits, so I said a few words to him. "He was drunk and acted out of line, and I was completely passive in the situation.

If you're married to him, then I suggest you keep your man in check." "If it weren't for you, would he have turned into this?" Cecilia shot back. She had clearly spent enough time with Gideon to see his recent self-destruction, and it pained her. "T don't know," Giselle said flatly. She had no desire to argue further and tried to walk past her toward the door. "Stop right there," Cecilia shouted, her face dark with anger. " You slut! You've already climbed your way into the Kane family, and it's still not enough for you. "Now you want to keep stringing Gideon along, making him suffer for you.

You must feel proud of yourself. Let me warn you-if I ever catch you going after Gideon again, I will ruin you and make sure you are disgraced for life." Giselle had grown used to such insults. To her, they were no ---- more than a dog barking. She felt nothing and had no interest in responding . She got into her car, started the engine , and sped out of the villa community. On the way back, Gideon's wild words still echoed in her ears. Irritated, she rolled the window down to let the wind blow in, numbing herself as she drove all the way home.

By the time she returned to the house she shared with Donovan, it was already 9:00 pm. She pulled up at the entrance, and Benjamin immediately came forward respectfully to open her car door. "Mrs. Kane, you're finally back. I was just about to call you." "What is it? Did something urgent happen?" Giselle asked as she stepped out. "Mr. Kane has returned," Benjamin said. Giselle felt a sudden jolt in her chest. "What? Wasn't he supposed to be back tomorrow?" Benjamin chuckled. "Maybe he wanted to surprise you.

He arrived about an hour ago, but I think he was disappointed when he found out you weren't here. His expression didn't look too good." "Oh." Giselle did not think much of it and quickly headed inside to find Donovan.
