FreeNovelChapter 237 A Tit for Tat
“I don’t think our relationship has anything to do with Mr. Smith.” Charlotte coldly interrupted Joe. “Mr.
Smith, you said you want to talk about the Holiday Resort with Moontide, please don’t ask these
questions anymore.”
Her tone was a little sharp. Not only did Joe notice it, but even Gideon gave her a sidelong glance.
Gideon patted her hand comfortingly and smiled gently. “Our relationship is still in progress. As for what
will happen in the future, I am also looking forward to it.”
Joe’s face darkened. He looked up at Gideon and said, “Mr. McKinney should understand that you
could not easily touch someone else.”
Gideon acted as if he didn’t feel the pressure coming from Joe, smiled, and said, “Mr. Smith, you
should understand that there are many people in the world who make mistakes, but not everyone has a

One of them had a fierce aura, while the other was
magnanimous and gentle. When they clashed, neither side had

Charlotte coughed softly and asked, “Aren’t we here for lunch?”
Joe and Gideon looked at her at the same time. Gideon lowered
his eyes and smiled. “It’s my fault. I was so focused on chatting with Mr. Smith that I forgot that you’re
hungry.”
He picked up the menu on the table, quickly added a few dishes, and then asked someone to start
preparing.
Once again, Charlotte was surprised to find that the dishes that Gideon had ordered were all her
favorites.
“Are you surprised that I know your taste?” Gideon raised his eyebrows and asked.
Charlotte nodded unceremoniously.
“This is what a pursuer should do.” Gideon smiled mysteriously. “Don’t say that you don’t know that I’m
pursuing you. This will make my pursuit seem useless.”
Charlotte was silent.
Joe on the other side slightly tightened his grip on his forks.
For the rest of the meal, Joe and Gideon argued with each other in secret.
At first, Charlotte wanted to stop them and tried to shift the topic to the Holiday Resort, but later she
gave up when she found that she couldn’t persuade them.
She had never thought that she would see such a childish side of them.
Finally, when the meal was over, Charlotte said before they could speak, “Gideon, you’re tired today. I’ll
send you back first.”

Charlotte didn’t even spare Joc a glance and turned to leave with Gideon. Unexpectedly, Joe stopped
her. “I want to see the children tomorrow, okay?”
“What a coincidence. I promised Ben and Anna yesterday that I would watch a movie with them. I’m
afraid they won’t have time tomorrow.” Gideon apologized in a gentle voice.
As expected, Joe’s expression changed.
“Gideon is right. If you want to see the children, you can pick them up when school is over next time.”
Charlotte nodded slightly at Joe with an indifferent attitude.
Joe just stood there and watched them get in the car and leave.
After getting in the car, Charlotte didn’t know how to face Gideon for a moment. Unexpectedly, he
smiled first and said, “How is it? Was what I said just now perfect?”
Charlotte looked at Gideon in shock, and then she seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “Was what you just
say…?”
“Of course it’s true.” Gideon was not stupid enough to deny his words. “I just don’t want to give you any
pressure. If you haven’t felt my pursuit yet, you can treat me as an ordinary friend.”
