Chapter 90
I was extremely surprised.
After all, in the past, I had had to beg Gordon just to have dinner with me once at home, let alone go out to eat together.
Even if he did turn up, we would always end up parting ways unhappily.
What was up with him today?
Why was he inviting me to dinner of his own accord?
“Alright. Are we going now?” I agreed, of course.
There was no reason to hesitate.
“Yeah. Wait for me downstairs. I’ll be down at once,” Gordon said over the phone.
About ten minutes later, I saw Gordon leave the Holmes Group building. He gestured to tell me not to drive and to get in his Cullinan so we could go together.
I handed my car keys to Luke and asked him to drive it back for me. Then, Gordon drove me out to dinner.
It was early autumn, and night was falling earlier and earlier. The entire city was soon blanketed in darkness, and the glittering neon lights made Sobrough City appear dazzling as if it were a new,
international city.
“Where are you planning to take me to dinner tonight?” I asked.
“Let’s go to Starlight Cove. They have good ambiance there,” Gordon said in a low voice.
Starlight Cove was one of the most popular fine dining restaurants in Sobrough City.
I had heard that the restaurant was located in one of the landmark buildings of Sobrough City’s central business district. It was on the top floor of Sobrough Tower, and it was a very unique restaurant. It was very difficult to get a table there, but I was sure it wasn’t difficult for Gordon.
“You know Sobrough City’s restaurants very well, Mr. Holmes,” I said pointedly.
He understood my meaning, so he laughed and reached out to flick my forehead affectionately.
“Don’t be so narrow–minded, and don’t get jealous over such silly things.”
Inwardly, I scoffed. I wasn’t jealous.
I couldn’t help muttering to myself, but my face split into a grin of its own accord.
“I just wonder how many women you’ve brought here. After all, you’ve had so many scandals, right?”
“None. An ordinary partner is not worthy of a place like that. Only my official wife has that right.”
I couldn’t believe that a time had come when Gordon would be the one trying to make me happy.

His sudden compliment flattered me.
Every woman loved compliments, and I was no exception. I was immediately in an excellent mood.
“Alright. Then I won’t hold back tonight! I want to eat the best and most expensive food at Starlight Cove!”
“You can order everything on the menu as long as you can eat it.”
When Gordon wanted to spoil a woman, he really had no principles.
No wonder these women had been throwing themselves at him for all these years. He was so skilled at flirting, and he was generous, too. How could any woman resist?
As I thought to myself, my resolve to prevent Sabrina from receiving all this strengthened.
I turned my phone on and casually tapped on Instagram. Suddenly, I saw Sabrina post a story.
She posted a story of herself holding a large bouquet of flowers as she stood with Nathan. The caption below read, “Love is when arguments can’t drive you apart.
“Look, your Sabby has officially declared her relationship!”
My mood brightened even more when I looked at the photo and caption. I couldn’t help saying it out loud to sprinkle more salt on Gordon’s wounds.
