Chapter 1051 Being Betrayed


    Despite Gideon’s strong refusal, Lena still fetched iodine to disinfect his wound.


    The dim light illuminated Lena’s profile as she carefully and earnestly cleaned Gideon’s wound. Gideon


    suddenly felt warm.


    Once again, he realized clearly that the woman before him would be his future wife, the mother of his


    child, and a lifelong partner.


    “What are you looking at?” After finishing the wound care, Lena lifted her head and saw Gideon gazing


    at her with an incredibly tender look.


    Gideon smiled with indulgence towards her, “Although the timing is not right and the asion is not


    grand enough, I still want to say it out loud. If one day you decide to get married, could you consider


    me first?”


    Lena’s movements paused for a moment as she lowered her eyes.


    Just as Gideon thought she would reject him, Lena spoke softly. “Okay.”


    Gideon slightly widened his eyes. Clearly, he didn’t expect Lena to agree.


    Lena gave him a reproachful look. “What? Do you have to hear me reject you?”


    Unable to contain himself, Gideon burst intoughter. He stepped forward, tightly embracing Lena.


    “Does this mean you’re slowly epting me?”


    He had prepared himself for a long process of letting her ept him gradually, but unexpectedly, he


    was not the only one who was putting in an effort. Lena was also trying to ept him.


    Embraced in his warm arms, Lena couldn’t help but smile.


    In the reflection of themplight, their intertwined shadows seemed inseparable.


    After two days of rest at home, Lena returned to thepany.

    She was now the design director of a well-known design firm. Declining an invitation from Charlotte,


    she insisted on joining thispany to see what she could achieve without the influence of her


    rtionship with Rumba and Charlotte.


    Fortunately, not only did thepany’s chairman appreciate her, but other senior executives also


    regarded her highly, quickly promoting her to the position of design director.


    Given Lena’s qualifications, such a promotion wasn’t extraordinary.


    Unfortunately, in a world where envy was rampant, many people believed they were the best.


    Lena never argued with them, only proving herself through her abilities.


    Themotion caused by her fainting at thepany that day was significant, and it wasn’t long


    before news about her pregnancy spread.


    Ignoring the strange looks from others, Lena calmly walked through the crowd and into her office.


    Her assistant, Debra Hayes, quickly followed.


    As soon as she saw Lena, Debra said anxiously, “Ms. Jenkins, I really didn’t know…”


    Lena nced at her, and Debra stopped her words.


    “How many years have you been my assistant?”


    Lena’s tone was remarkably indifferent, as if she were already aware of all the ins and outs behind the


    situation. Debra instinctively clenched her fists.


    “It has been three years,” Debra answered with her head bowed.


    Lena’s fingers slid lightly on the wooden desk. It was her usual gesture when deep in thought.


    “I rememberst year, when your mother was sick, I specifically gave you a month off. At that time, you


    cried and said you would do your best to repay me.” Lena’s gaze rested lightly on Debra, but it felt like


    a sharp knife, making her whole body ache.
