Chapter 651

After not seeing him for days, a deep furrow had formed between Gideon's brows.

His tone had become much more weathered: "Elizabeth, I wasn't in the mood to stay in Pariz, so I came back to Sunwillow City. I haven't even been to my place yet. I just wanted to come see you about Nicole."

Gideon didn't suspect who Elizabeth had just been on the phone with.

He just instinctively wanted to come to Elizabeth's place to check.

Because he knew that if Nicole was desperate with nowhere to turn, she would still contact Elizabeth.

In her whole life, Elizabeth was probably the woman Nicole liked most.

"Mr. Lavien." Elizabeth cleared her throat and asked: "Did you see Isabella in Pariz these past few days?"

Gideon nodded: "I did see her, but Elizabeth, I've completely broken up with her. To be clear, we actually broke up ten years ago, didn't we? I have nothing to do with her!"

Elizabeth nodded: "I know, Mr. Lavien."

After a pause, she said: "Listen to me, I think... Isabella, maybe all her extreme behavior was because she loves you. She hit Nicole multiple times, probably because she loves you too much."

"Elizabeth, what are you trying to say?" Gideon interrupted her.

Elizabeth: "Actually... Nicole has always known. She's been with you all these years, and she knows you never loved her. So Nicole might also..."

Steeling herself, Elizabeth said: "Nicole doesn't love you!"

Gideon fell silent.

"You don't love each other, so you don't need to keep looking for her. Why don't you both just live your own lives and start fresh?" Elizabeth urged.

"No! She loves me, Ashan loves me!"

Elizabeth: "But... you don't love her!"

Gideon was left speechless by Elizabeth's words.

"You know where Ashan is, don't you? You know where she is?" Gideon grabbed Elizabeth, asking repeatedly.

Elizabeth: "Mr. Lavien, I really don't know. If I knew where Nicole was, I'd run even faster than you to find her. But thinking about it later, maybe this is the best ending, after all, you don't love her. And she knows you don't love her. Otherwise, she's pregnant with your child, why wouldn't she come beg you?"

"Do you know what I did six years ago?"

"Six years ago, as soon as I found out the baby in my belly was Alexander's, I immediately tried everything, risking death, to stop Alexander's wedding."

"But what about Nicole?"

"Nicole knew she was pregnant with your child, which should have been her best bargaining chip, right? But she didn't come to you."

Gideon fell silent.

"Mr. Lavien, I think you need to clear your head first. You loved Isabella so much once, for over ten years, didn't you?"

"So maybe, deep down, the person you love most is still Isabella."

"Mr. Lavien, if you get back together with Isabella now, I definitely won't say anything against it. I'll bless you. If you and Isabella have a wedding, Alexander and I will definitely attend."

In this moment, Elizabeth spoke with complete sincerity.

She felt that in matters of love, there was no right or wrong.

Maybe Isabella just loved Gideon, and because her love was so deep, she couldn't tolerate Nicole, which was why she hit Nicole. That made sense.

However, Elizabeth didn't know that these words truly stabbed Gideon in the heart.

Especially when Elizabeth said: "Nicole doesn't love you, so stop looking for her."

Nicole didn't love him?

Impossible!

No one knew better than Gideon how much Nicole loved him.

She was an extremely timid woman.

Especially when she saw soft-bodied creatures or live animals, she was very scared.

Even putting a live shrimp in front of her could make her shrink back in fear.

But she knew he loved eating broccoli with fresh shrimp.

She knew he was picky, didn't trust restaurants to devein the shrimp properly, and worried that restaurant shrimp was frozen, so she personally went to the market to pick the freshest, plumpest shrimp.

When she brought them home, alive, she picked them up one by one, enduring endless fear, and personally deveined them for him.

She had done countless things like this for him.

How could she not love him?

Others might not have heard it, but Gideon had heard Nicole say "Yu, I love you" too many times to count.

So many times that eventually he felt it was as routine as eating a meal.

The reason he didn't take it to heart was that she always emphasized: "Yu, don't feel burdened, you don't have to love me. I'm still just a maid in your house."

And he really did treat her as a maid.

The kind of perfect servant who was elegant in public, capable in the kitchen, refined when out, and wild in bed.

Gideon left Elizabeth's workplace in a daze.

Elizabeth called after him: "Mr. Lavien. Mr. Lavien, are you okay?"

Gideon didn't look back.

Elizabeth fell silent.

That evening, Elizabeth came home and told her husband about this. Unexpectedly, her husband Alexander advised Elizabeth: "Elizabeth, you know Nicole's contact information, right? Give the address to Gideon, otherwise, he'll fall apart."

Elizabeth: "If I give it to him, Nicole's peace will be shattered. How hard was it for Nicole to have a peaceful life?"

Alexander said: "I advised Gideon today that if she doesn't want to come back with him, don't force her. After all, you were the one who drove her away. Give him the contact information and let him and Nicole settle things."

Elizabeth thought about it: "Alright! Let him taste what it's like to chase after his wife and still end up in the crematorium!"

She gave Nicole's contact number to Alexander.

Alexander then sent this number to Gideon.

Upon receiving the number, Gideon didn't even change his clothes before frantically heading northeast.

More than a day later, when his car reached the location of that number, it turned out to be a cemetery.

Good heavens!

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the entire hillside was covered with graves.

Gideon's heart suddenly turned cold.

He laughed at himself with a defeated, self-mocking tone: "Little woman, you've even learned to cover your tracks."

Meanwhile, back in Sunwillow City, Elizabeth was also restless. She didn't know if giving this number to Gideon was right or wrong. She didn't know if Gideon found Nicole, would he break up Nicole and that man?

And then drag Nicole back?

She didn't dare think about it.

"Don't worry, Gideon won't! I promise you, if he does that, I'll cut off his head for you. But if Nicole willingly comes back with him, that's another matter."

Elizabeth's heart eased a little.

However, she still didn't sleep well that night.

The next morning, Elizabeth got up very early.

After getting dressed and washing up, she came to the living room and heard someone knocking at the door.

She hesitated for a moment, but still went to open the door.

When the door opened, she saw a dark, huddled mass at her doorstep. Elizabeth screamed in fright: "Ahh..."
