Chapter 169
Samantha turned her head and looked over.
The man was dressed in a black casual outfit. His eyes were as good–looking as ever, and his gaze was depthless like a whirlpool.
He smirked and said in a lazy tone, “It’s been a while, Samantha,
She forced out a smile but subconsciously didn’t want to approach Gideon at the thought of his information and how he fought against Francis every time.
As such, her tone sounded somewhat distant.
“Long time no see.
Gideon’s lips quirked up. He didn’t mind Samantha being distant, so he asked with extreme familiarity, “I happen to be alone. May I sit with you guys?”
At once, Lawrence beamed. “Of course. Please have a seat, Handsome.”
Thanks”
After Gideon sat down, Howard shrveyed the former with slight hostility and questioned, “Are you Samantha’s friend?” Mhm Gideon nodded indifferently.
“Oh, responded Howard in a mildly arrogant tone. Let me introduce myself. I’m Goddess Samantha’s schoolmate and buddy of the same team, My name is Howard Morrison.”
“Mm,” was Gideon’s curt response.
This rendered Howard speechless.
“Is this fellow dense? Shouldn’t he reciprocate after I’ve introduced myself?” he thought.
However, Gideon simply turned to look at Samantha with a faint smile on his face.
“How have you been, Samantha
“Um…” She drank a sip of plum juice. “Fine. I just game daily.”
Gideon’s eyebrow arched before he chuckled.
“Aren’t you in university? Why are you gaming every day?”
Howard immediately interrupted, “You must not know, then? Elstunda University has been holding a Heroes of Kings competition recently, and we’re all from the same team as Goddess. We’ve already entered the top 12 and won our first match today.”
Nevertheless, Gideon didn’t even spare Howard a glance and merely turned sideways to look at Samantha
“I didn’t expect you to like gaming. We should play together when you’re free,” he suggested.
“Tik I doubt you can beat us, Handsome. You have no clue what Team Gorgeous‘ standards are… Howard answered directly. Team Gorgeous Gideon raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah.” Howard bobbed his head. “Is there a problem?”
Gideon snickered. “What an interesting name.”
“I came up with it. It’s interesting, right?” Howard grinned. “You’ll know how appropriate the name is just by looking at our goddess” beauty.”
“Indeed.” Gideon lowered his head and sipped his coffee.
No one probed about the meaning of his response,
Howard, on the other hand, became excited and kept chattering non–stop.
“Our Goddess Samantha is not only gorgeous but also excellent at gaming. Oh, right! She’s even athletic, too, adept at running, cycling, shooting, and everything else! She’s practically an all–rounded goddess!”
Gideon glanced at the guy coldly. “You like her?”
Howard was stunned, not expecting that Gideon would ask so straightforwardly. After a pause, he quickly nodded with reddened ears, and his voice was suppressed as though he was mambling to himself. “Yeah.”
Gideon smiled, but his gaze was chilly.
“Then, you’d best forget about it. She already has two children.”
That reply instantly resulted in a wave of shock.
Everyone present, except for Leila, turned to Samantha, including Darwin, who had always been insouciant.
Evidently, they were taken aback.
Howard, too, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. “C–Children…
Samantha didn’t mind at all and simply nodded frankly.
sons, so don’t call me Goddess anymore. I don’t want my sons to hear that. You can just call me…
“Yes, I already have two si hmm… Samantha.
Howard was at a loss for words, thinking. “My heart just broke into pieces, What now? I’m so sad…
Howard then gulped down three cans of beer consecutively and abruptly stared at Gideon with animosity.
He could clearly see that the latter also liked his goddess.
“So, he intentionally came here just to sow discord?” he wondered.
Howard curled his lips and looked at Gideon, saying, “Since you know my goddess already has children, shouldn’t you keep your distance from her?”
Gideon sneered. “So what if I don’t?
He eyed Howard frigidly.
There seemed to be sparks of friction in the air.
Howard felt that he couldn’t take on Gideon’s scrutinizing gaze at all.
The man’s eyes were so icy, as if they could absorb anyone into a whirlpool of ice–cold water. It was so biting cold that Howard couldn’t stand it.

Meanwhile, Lawrence, who was at the side, noticed something off about the situation and swiftly changed the topic.
Howard heen a devil–may–care person. Hence, in no time, he started drinking happily with Lawrence again.
always
No one noticed that in the corner, two tables away from them, two girls exchanged glances and smiled.
After the meal, Howard clamored, saying he wanted a karaoke session.
Samantha shot him a chilly glimpse. “Are you not planning on playing in tomorrow’s match anymore?”
In an instant, Howard quieted down and obediently took a taxi back to school with Lawrence.
Gideon looked at Samantha and asked, “Shall I give you a ride home?”
She contemplated for a while before nodding.
Along the way, she didn’t take the initiative to converse and simply enjoyed the breeze.
In fact, the reason why she got into Gideon’s car was because she wanted to talk to him
However, she didn’t know where to start after getting into the vehicle.
Gideon seemed to notice that Samantha had something to say, so he probed straightforwardly, “Samantha, do you have something against me?”
“Mm, a little.” She bobbed her head.
“What exactly?”
She thought for a while, then answered, “What were you trying to do by telling Howard those things just now?”
Gideon said again, “You mean when I said you have two sons?”
“No.” Samantha shook her head. “That’s not a secret, so I don’t mind them knowing.”
On the contrary, she was dying to publicize that she had two lovely sons since that was an honor and not something disgraceful to hide.
“Oh Gideon’s mouth fell open, and he paused for a moment before adding, “I get it now.”
“Hmm? Get what?” Samantha asked.
Gideon chuckled lightly. “I get it that you want me to stay away from you.”
His voice was apathetic and carried a subtle trace of slight dejection.
Samantha opened her mouth, wanting to say something to soothe things, but ultimately, she kept silent because he had already said what she wanted.
She still felt it would be better for both of them if she made herself clear, albeit it was rather hurtful.
to this way, she could put all her focus on Francis and her two children.
She also felt that having them was enough for her, so she didn’t want to invite any more trouble.
Furthermore, Samantha still had more important things to do, and she didn’t want to involve more people in this.
The duo never spoke again during the rest of the journey.

Samantha motioned for Gideon to stop the car, planning to walk back by herself so as not to cause any unnecessary problems again.
After Samantha got out of the vehicle, she assumed everything would be over, but unexpectedly, Gideon stopped her.
“Samantha.
“Hmm?” She turned around.
Gideon’s lips curved as he smiled boyishly.
“I know you want me to stay away from you, but… I’m sorry… I can’t do it.”
