Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 975

It was a type of sadness that Cathy could not say out loud. It was as if someone had taken away something important to her.

Sean noticed that something was off. He then asked out of concern, “Cathy, are you alright?”

Cathy shook her head. She then said with a gentle voice, “Sean, I am tired. Can you help me out? I would like to go back and rest as well.”

Sean nodded her head.

Mr. Donnelly quickly picked up the jade pendant from the table. He then passed it to Cathy and smiled. “Then, make sure to have a nice rest at the manor. We can talk about other matters later.”

Sean nodded her head and helped Cathy to leave the guest room.

Gideon was working overtime at the company as his day was full of meetings. After he returned home, it was already 9.00 pm.

Naturally, the kids had slept early as they had school the following day.

After Gideon had changed his shoes, he was shocked to see that Nell was not in the living room. Aunt Joyce was the only person in the living room as she was tidying the place up.

He was a little surprised.

After all, Nell would usually be waiting for him to return to the living room whenever he had to work overtime. Then, they would return to their bedroom to rest.

Where did she go?

Gideon had his doubts. He then pulled the tie on his neck as he walked towards Aunt Joyce. He asked, “Where is Missus?”

Aunt Joyce stood up and answered, “She is in the room upstairs.”

She then paused for a while. After that, she said hesitantly, “Missus seems to be in a bad mood today. Ever since she returned this afternoon, she’s locked herself in that room. She hasn’t even come out for dinner. Sir, you should check up on her as soon as possible.”

Gideon frowned. “She didn’t eat dinner?”

“Yes. We dared not disturb her. Apart from that, she even refused to see Miss Lizzy and Young Master. We really don’t know what happened to her.”

Gideon nodded his head. “Noted.”

He walked up the stairs and went towards the bedroom. The door was shut as expected.

Gideon pushed the door and realized that it was locked. As such, he had no choice but to knock on the door.

“Nelly, open the door. It’s me.”

However, it was silent.

Gideon furrowed his eyebrows and knocked on the door twice. However, there was no movement at all. He became worried and turned around to look for Aunt Joyce in the corridor. He then asked her to bring the bedroom’s key to him.

Aunt Joyce quickly looked for the key and passed it to Gideon.

Gideon waved his hand to tell Aunt Joyce to stand back. He then opened the door by using the key.

The bedroom was pitch black.

The room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. The lights were off as well. As such, Gideon could not see a single person.

He frowned and switched on one of the chandeliers. Thanks to the dim light cast from the chandelier, he could finally see the person sitting on the sofa.

“What are you doing?”
