The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 340

But the atmosphere recently had simply been too peaceful and soft.

The subtle intimacy built up over shared meals and shared beds stripped away her usual overthinking. Without a second thought, her feet naturally carried her forward.

Nora stepped right in front of Gideon, rising slightly onto her tiptoes as she reached out.

The distance between them vanished in an instant. She could clearly smell the crisp, familiar scent of cedar lingering on his skin.

With her slender, slightly cool fingers, she gently pinched the bottom of his tie, moving to push the slightly crooked knot securely into place.

The man's deep gaze lowered, quietly resting on the woman standing mere inches away.

She was so close. Her eyes were downcast, and her thick, curling lashes cast faint, delicate shadows across her cheeks.

Smoothing out the final crease in the silk, Nora naturally swept her hands upward, lightly adjusting the collar of his shirt.

"Are you going to the branch office for an inspection today?"

Dropping her hands, Nora casually met his gaze, her tone conversational as she inquired about his itinerary.

Gideon looked at her serene, gentle face, a nearly imperceptible ripple forming in his dark pupils.

"I'm heading to Metropolis International Airport."

His voice was low and steady.

"Giselle's flight lands at 10 AM. I'm picking her up."

Nora, who had just taken half a step back, froze completely in place.

Her mind blanked for several seconds in utter shock. Then, a chaotic storm of clues violently crashed together in her head.

Giselle's flight lands today?
