Chapter 1041 A Leftover Woman
Gideon shielded Lena behind him and glared at the middle-aged couple, saying with anger, “Who are you?”
Lena, who had been despaired a few seconds ago, was astonished as she grabbed onto Gideon’s clothes and said, “Why did you come? Leave quickly!”
“Who are they?” Gideon ignored Lena’s words and stared into her eyes, asking.
Lena, in a disheveled state, dared not look at him and replied, “Nobody. It’s none of your business.”
“I…” Gideon wanted to say that he was her friend, but after what had happened that day, he felt that their relationship was no longer that simple.
The middle-aged couple exchanged a glance and were excited.
The man grabbed Gideon’s hand and said, “I am her father. Who are you?”
“You are her father?” Gideon clearly didn’t expect this answer. He glanced at Lena, saw her embarrassment, and understood that the man was telling the truth.
He pushed the man’s hand away and smiled gently, “So, you’re Mr. Jenkins. It seems I misunderstood.”
Lena looked contemptuously at Blake Jenkins, who was smiling delightedly. Blake, seeing Gideon full of amiability, assumed that he believed his words.
However, he didn’t know that the more gently Gideon smiled, the less mercy he felt towards others.
For so many years, Lena had always carefully hidden her unbearable birth from Gideon and Charlotte, but she never expected Gideon to find it out.
Especially after they…
Lena lowered her gaze, not letting Blake and his wife perceive anything unusual.
Blake excitedly patted Gideon’s shoulder and said, “How could parents deceive their own daughter, right? She’s already reaching a certain age.
Shouldn’t she come back with us and get married? Otherwise, she’ll become a… What’s that word again? Leftover woman! Yes, that’s it! Leftover woman!
The leftovers that others reject, just like leftover food!”
Hearing Blake use such derogatory words to describe Lena, Gideon furrowed his brows, and his gaze sharpened.
“To get married?” Gideon asked, “I haven’t heard that she has gotten close to any man.”
As he said that, Gideon fell silent for a moment. Wouldn’t it be himself getting closer to Lena recently?
“Of course, she will marry the person we arranged for her!” Blake glared at Gideon. “Shouldn’t parents have control over their daughter’s marriage?
Whoever she marries, she should listen to us.”
Gideon didn’t expect a modern person to utter such unreasonable words.
Before he could speak, Lena walked out from behind him and sneered at Blake, saying, “Give up already. I will never marry your son!”
Son?!
Gideon looked at Blake in shock. Wasn’t he Lena’s father? How could he ask
Lena to marry his son?
Blake raised his hand to strike Lena, but Gideon quickly grabbed his wrist and forcefully pushed him back.
Blake was caught off guard. He tumbled to the ground, feeling pain.
He quickly reacted and pointed at Gideon, shouting, “I knew it! You’re the man she’s been involved with!”
Hearing Blake’s words, Gideon felt somewhat guilty. He touched his nose and looked at Lena.
