Sweet Marriage: Can't Love You Too Much

Chapter 5 Cutting Losses In Time

Nell leaned weakly against the car window, watching the night scenery flash by. Her eyes were red. Jason's words were still ringing in her ears, but she only found them ridiculous.

How many times did Celine bully her with her family behind her? Nell remained silent and tolerant, thinking that she could get some peace that way, but Celine had instead escalated her methods.

Nell was not a weak person, so she naturally learned how to fight back when she could no longer endure it. However, in Jason's eyes, that became her bullying Celine?

She was driven out of the Jennings family. Everyone in Jincheng knew that she was the unwanted daughter of the Jennings family. and her grandmother grew even more displeased with her.

In order to not embarrass Jason, she avoided interaction with others and tried her hardest not to appear in public, but in his eyes, she was making excuses and refusing to accompany him?

As for selling erotic products...

If not for that incident, if not for the Jennings family’s selfishness and biases, would her future have been ruined? Would she have fallen to this state? All this now turned out to be her fault?!

Nell closed her eyes, only feeling endless sorrow and irony.

A man's voice suddenly sounded next to her. "Is it worth feeling sad for a man like that?”

She jolted slightly and looked over. In her blurred vision, a man sat there with a straight back. His eyes were cool.

Only then did she recall that she seemed to have gotten into a man's car. This person was the one who helped her in the bar earlier.

With an outsider present, she could not afford to show him her depressed expression. She wiped away her tears. "Who said I'm sad because of him?" Gideon raised an eyebrow at her. His gaze rested on her red yet beautiful eyes.

Nell explained. "I'm not sad for him. I’m sad for myself.”

She was sad for the six years of her youth that had been wasted..

Gideon nodded in agreement.

"Do you know what the best way to deal with a failed investment is?"

"What?" "Cutting your losses in time.”

The five words that poured out of his thin lips made her heart tremble.

She turned to look at him. Under the dim light. the man's posture was tall and straight. The light cast a shadow on the side of his face, making his features deeper and more three-dimensional. He looked cold and noble.

It was not the first time she had seen an attractive man. Jason had also been quite good-looking However, compared to the man in front of her, the difference was too large.

Just like how stars could never compete with the sun or moon, the man before her was far too dazzling. He was like an eagle soaring above the nine heavens. His aura was powerful and unparalleled. 5

Not to mention that he had a face that was enough to make all women scream in excitement.

Her thoughts flickered as an absurd idea flashed in her mind.

Staring at his handsome profile, she swallowed. "I know."

After a pause, she suddenly asked, "What do you think of erotic products?"

Gideon's brows furrowed. "It's a normal industry just like any other industry. I don't have any particular opinion about it.” Nell smiled faintly.

Her smile was more drunk than sober, and her glossy eyes were like autumn water. She said softly, "I think s 0 too.”

A hint of cold fragrance suddenly brushed the tip of his nose and Gideon turned slightly, only to see her suddenly straighten and tilt her whole upper body towards him.

"Then, do you think I'm beautiful?”

Gideon's spine stiffened.

The woman in front of him was undoubtedly beautiful.

Not only was she beautiful, she was also incredibly sensual. Her beauty was breathtaking.

Although she only wore a simple beige jacket over a white camisole, it could not hide the clean and cold beauty that emanated from the inside.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind. 'No matter how many beautiful people you've seen, there will always be someone out there who's even more beautiful’.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he remained silent.

It was only a few moments later that he gave an uncomfortable, "Mmh."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Nell leane@over further. Her delicate red lips, atost brushed his ear, and she said in a soft voice, "Then, if say I Cwant to sleep with you,,would your be willing?" -

"Prt!" Matthew. whe was driving, could not hold back and snorted a laugh

The next moment, he felt a cold, knife-like gaze behind him

He hurriedly stopped smiling and activated the divider in the middle of the car between the front and back seats.

Then, Gideon turned back to look at the woman beside him

A dark light floated in his eyes as he narrowed them a t her. "There's a price to pay for sleeping with me. Are you sure you want to?" Nell laughed. "Money? I have that.”

She pulled out her purse as she spoke and took out all the hundred yuan bills.

“Count it. If it's not enough, I can transfer the rest to you.”

Only then did Gideon realize that what she said was not a joke. She was serious.

The vein on his forehead throbbed twice, and he rubbed his temple.

"Were you going to sleep with whoever's sitting here tonight?”

Nell shook her head.

She suddenly laughed and patted his face

‘I'm not that stupid. I want to sleep with you besause you're just so handsome. Aren’ they looking dowh on me?-Fhat's why I want to find S someone betterand more <> handsome than him. I want them to beangry!" oy

Gideon never expected this to be her response

He wondered how he was supposed to react. He clearly was not prepared to take her words seriously.

At this time, the car suddenly screeched to a stop.

Nell was already intoxicated and she lurched from the inertia. If not for Gideon's quick reflexes in catching her, she might have been flung out. His expression sank. "What's going on?"

Matthew's voice sounded from the front. "My apologies, Mr. President. We've arrived at Leith Gardens.”

"You can go back!"

"Veg!"

The sou nd-of acar door closing came from the front, and Gideon’ turned back to the woman in his arms. ‘He could not help but frown at her unk and misty eyes, and her beautiful face that was flushed red.

"We're here. Get off!"

However, the woman did not move. She leaned in his embrace and looked up at his noble and wilful face.

Her face was cold, but her lips were thin and sexy. Her mouth parted and closed again, full of seductive temptation The alechol went to her head.

She reached out and circled her arms around his neck, and planted a cold kiss on his lips.

Gideon's back stiffened as his eyes widened. The next second, the softness on his lips left.

Nell looked at his frozen state and giggled.

"Handsome, your mouth is so sweet.”

Gideon.” Resisting the urge to throw her out of the car, he said in a low voice, "Let go!"

Nell did not move. She blinked, looking at his cold and solemn expression, and her eyes suddenly grew red.

"Do you also think that I'm rigid and not gentle? That I'm uninteresting? Is that why you won't sleep with m e?”

Gideon's jaw tightened. "That's not it.”

"Then why won't you agree?"

She suddenly seemed to be aggrieved. Tears fell in large drops, rolling down her jade-like face like glittering gemstones. His heart tightened inexplicably.

The woman's tears poured without restraint and soon wet his lapel.
