Chapter 1058 She Can’t Eat These
Gideon expertly drove the car into an alley.
“You sure is this place?” Lena was surprised as she looked around. There was not a restaurant at all.
Gideon chuckled softly and led Lena further into the alley.
After several twists and turns, the two arrived at a courtyard house.
The gate of the courtyard was very unassuming, with a plaque with the word
“Nameless”.
As soon as they entered, a handsome chef approached them.
He sized up Gideon and Lena with unclear meaning. “Kiddo, what are you…”
Lena, hearing the man, realized that he must be quite familiar with Gideon and gave him a sidelong glance.
Gideon glared at the man irritably. “Uncle Jeffrey, if you don’t go cook now, I’m going to tell Grandma you’re starving her granddaughter-in-law.”
Jeffrey didn’t expect Gideon to reveal Lena’s identity so bluntly, and his gaze towards Lena softened a bit. “Are you hungry? Dinner will be ready quickly.” After saying that, he turned and left. Lena was still
processing the fact that the man was Gideon’s uncle. She looked at Gideon incredulously. “He’s your uncle?” Was she meeting his family like this? Gideon soothingly took Lena’s hand. “Don’t worry. My uncle isn’t the talkative type. If you’re not ready to meet my family, I’ll make sure he doesn’t tell anyone…” Although Gideon sounded gentle, Lena inexplicably detected a hint of grievance in his words.
Feeling both amused and exasperated, she said, “When did I say I wasn’t ready? It’s just that it all happened so suddenly, and you didn’t let me know in advance…”
Speaking of this, Lena suddenly remembered her own disheveled appearance, and it had all been seen by Gideon’s uncle.
“I’m looking like this!” She was both angry and anxious. Who would make such a ragged first impression in front of the elder?
Seeing that she was really about to lose her temper, Gideon quickly tried to soothe her. “I’ll explain everything to my uncle, so don’t worry!”
Lena glared at him annoyedly, as it was pointless to discuss anything further now that things had come to this point.
While the two were talking, Jeffrey also came in with some dishes.
He looked at Lena gently. “I didn’t know what you liked, so I had a few of our popular dishes prepared. If there’s anything you don’t like, I’ll have it changed right away.”
Lena repeatedly shook her head and said, “It was really rude of me to come here in such a hurry. I am
really sorry.”
Jeffrey seemed not to notice Lena’s dishevelment, shaking his head. “Gideon has never brought a girlfriend home before, and my sister even started to think he was into men. It’s already great that you’ve appeared…”
Lena noticed Jeffrey’s disdain was not feigned and looked at Gideon with amusement.
For someone like Gideon, who was always gentle and refined in front of others, she did not expect him to be so disliked by his family.
Gideon also touched his nose and told Jeffrey about what had just happened.
Jeffrey’s expression immediately darkened as he said, “Such a person must never be allowed to come out and harm others again. Rest assured. I will handle it well.”
As he spoke, he placed a full plate of various seafood on the table in front of
Lena. “It’s good. You should try it.”
Before Lena could reach for it, Gideon stopped her.
He looked at Jeffrey and seemingly casually said, “She can’t eat these. She’s pregnant.”
