Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: 298-Our Dear Gigi

Jaguar:

"It’s Theodore. At first, I was trying to figure out where he’d disappeared to. Then I found out he’d gone over to Gigi’s for movie night."

I paused when Verity tilted her head strangely, as if she were suddenly paying very close attention.

"Then, when I talked to Gigi, she seemed a little upset, so I’m going over there to cheer her up and get her to talk to me."

I said it casually, but I could tell Verity wasn’t impressed.

All the playfulness had disappeared from her face.

"What happened?" I asked, a little concerned.

"Have you seen the time? It’s past 11 p.m. What exactly do you want to talk about with your brother’s fiancée at this hour? I mean, I know you’re friends and everything, but don’t you think it’s a little strange? If she’s upset, do you really need to go comfort her in the middle of the night?"

The way she said it was almost innocent. Her tone was normal too.

I just didn’t like what she was saying.

"Verity, what are you even talking about? Gigi is just as dear to me as she is to my brother. Fine, our relationships with her are different, but I care about her. And sometimes a person doesn’t need a lover. They need a friend. That’s why I’m going."

I spoke firmly, wanting to establish a clear boundary with Verity from the beginning.

Yes, I liked her a lot, and I wanted to bring her into my home someday, but that didn’t mean she could come in and start changing the dynamics of my relationships.

"I’m just saying it because it seems inappropriate. And it’s not only you. You just told me Theodore is there too, while her fiancé is the only one who isn’t."

This time, Verity’s words came out much harsher.

All the softness had disappeared from her voice.

"Verity, what has gotten into you? Since when did you start thinking so narrowly? You’re a modern woman. Besides, I don’t want to have a discussion about the dynamic between Gigi and me. You’ll have to respect that boundary."

I didn’t know what came over me.

I had gotten a little rude with her.

Maybe Gigi’s voice was still stuck in my head.

I had no idea what she was going through, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I also felt that Verity of all people should understand.

Her own brother had already hurt Gigi, and now she was trying to stop me from going to her too.

It felt unfair.

"Anyway, we’ll talk tomorrow."

After that, I didn’t say anything else or continue the discussion.

I simply turned around and left the kitchen.

But one thing was certain, Verity had disappointed me deeply.

I never could have imagined that she thought this way.

Still, I got into my car and drove straight to Gigi’s house.

The moment I arrived and stepped inside the mansion, I realized coming here had been the right decision, no matter how inappropriate Verity thought the timing was.

All I could hear was Gigi crying.

Her wailing was so loud that it made my heart drop.

The house was completely empty and dark, so I started making my way through the darkness, following the sound.
