Chapter 824 Still Chose To Believe Him

• But at the sight of her call with Nydia, Jordy's face looked grimmer. Because he realized this: Gloria's real purpose. Gloria was surprised by his grim look and asked, "What's upsetting you now?" Who had ever referred to women as moody and unpredictable in the first place? In her eyes, Jordy was a perfect counterexample. Jordy compressed his lips and asked her after a second of silence, "You've turned down everyone's offer to help. Tell me, are you prepared to fight the enemy all alone?" Jordy's question indicated that he had been listening to her conversation with Nydia the whole time. But she didn't need help from anyone. She didn't want to get anyone involved. Was it not unreasonable? She was not mad at the moment. She spoke to Jordy in a calm voice, "You are wounded and we've separated now. Nydia is a woman with no background. What is the point of taking you two with me?" She was not a heartless woman. What if she got the two of them killed and still failed? She could let that happen! But the next second Jordy asked her directly, "Then who are you going to take with you?" Jordy fixed his eyes on Gloria when he asked the question. He left her no room for avoiding. "I don't know," Gloria couldn't help frowning, "Why do you have to keep fixating on this matter?" She had made it all clear, while he still just couldn't let it go. Gloria's question was unexpected to him. Why the repeated fuss and wavering?
• Why? Was it because all of a sudden, there were so many unidentified people with unknown purposes around Gloria? He was just afraid that she would be framed, threatened, or that something bad would happen to her! At the realization of that, he was shocked by himself. He was worried about her so much! "You asked me and I have given an answer. Why the silence now?" she kept asking. Jordy was pulled back into reality from his thought by her question. But he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took a moment before picking up from her words. "I just needed to make sure that you will be under good protection. As far as it was concerned now, there are more than one forces who want you dead." His eyes met hers as he said. His eyes were black and earnest. And his expression was telling her that he was serious and determined. And that he was telling no lie. How would Gloria not know that there were so many people who wanted her dead? But at least she was not on the move, and still in Crockfords. Her Uncle Harvie was here. At least he would protect her. She could see that Uncle Harvie didn't like Jordy. So what she would like was for Jordy to recover as soon as possible and send him back. And she would stay with Jordy and keep him unaffected during his time recovering. Gloria smiled lightly, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. You can rest assured. I won't let anything happen to me. I have Uncle Harvie by my side.
• He would never let anything happen to me." Although he had mentioned it to her, she still chose to believe him. An Evil Woman They were not related by blood. Uncle Harvie would never protect her with his life. Jordy found him wordless. He could understand why she had turned Nydia down. Strangely, Jonathan's name came to his mind all of a sudden. Jordy wanted to ask, but... Gloria sensed his hesitation. So she spoke for him. "Jordy, if you have anything you want to tell me, just say it. Don't be so hesitant." Since he had been spotted, Jordy found no reason to hesitate anymore. "Did you turn down Jonathan's offer to help too?" he compressed his lips. "Yes, I did." She had no idea why Jordy had brought Jonathan up, but she still replied to him. She didn't need Jonathan's help. Jordy was silent again. But the silence only last for seconds before he spoke to Gloria, "If you don't want other people's help, accept mine." Jordy's tone was softer than before. Gloria was surprised. This was the first time he had ever said something to her in a tone like this. He had been always arrogant and defiant.
