Chapter 1041 A Leftover Woman


    Gideon shielded Lena behind him and red 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 youe? 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 rtionship was no longer that simple.


    The middle-aged couple exchanged a nce 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 nced 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 ke Jenkins, who was smiling delightedly. ke, 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 ke and his wife perceive anything unusual.


    ke excitedly patted Gideon’s shoulder and said, “How could parents deceive their own daughter,


    right? She’s already reaching a certain age.


    Shouldn’t shee back with us and get married? Otherwise, she’ll be a… What’s that word


    again? Leftover woman! Yes, that’s it! Leftover woman!


    The leftovers that others reject, just like leftover food!”


    Hearing ke 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!” ke red 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 ke, saying, “Give up


    already. I will never marry your son!”


    Son?!


    Gideon looked at ke in shock. Wasn’t he Lena’s father? How could he ask


    Lena to marry his son?


    ke raised his hand to strike Lena, but Gideon quickly grabbed his wrist and forcefully pushed him


    back.


    ke 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 ke’s words, Gideon felt somewhat guilty. He touched his nose and looked at Lena.
