" Chapter 25 Live for Yourself Yelena , Hillary , and Nancy attended one of the most prestigious high schools in Boraska . Most of the students there were from respectable families , with a minority consisting of smart students under the school scholarship . It was common for the scholarship students to be bullied by the rich kids , and Natalie had once been the victim . Ever since Nancy stood up for her , Natalie stuck to her like a shadow and eventually wormed her way into their trio . At first , Natalie had been kind and genuine . Since the girls weren't the kind who cared about a person's background , they gradually accepted Natalie out of respect for Nancy . Nancy suggested , " Hillary , maybe you're jumping to conclusions . What if it wasn't Natalie ? " Hillary said angrily , " I'm sure it's her . I really saw her hanging out with Winter . Natalie obviously knows you don't go along with Winter , and that can only mean one thing - she thinks the Moores abandoned you . " Nancy's gaze darkened , and Yelena cursed , " Damn it . I can't believe Natalie's someone like that ! Don't let it get to you , Nancy . " At that , a notification popped up in the group . " Yelena transferred one million dollars to Nancy . " " You're better off without someone like her . We'll always have your back ! " said Yelena . Touched , Nancy said , " Yelena ... " " Anyway , I've got to go . I have a meeting to attend , " Yelena informed them and left the call . The smile on Nancy's lips froze . She couldn't believe her friend was more workaholic than herself . " Food's ready . Wash your hands and dig in , " came a deep , masculine voice . Nancy looked up to find Gideon walking over with the dishes . At that moment , he gave off a homely vibe . Meanwhile , Hillary was shocked . " What the hell ? Nancy , are you with a man ? Who is it ? Is it Gideon? " Gideon looked over , making Nancy feel awkward . She hurriedly explained , " It's not what you think . I'll explain later . " Nancy ended the call and dropped a few texts to explain things in the group chat . After washing her hands , she sat at the table and stared at the dishes . There were country - style ribs , garlic butter lobster , sautéed vegetables , and spicy seafood chowder - all with a spicy kick . Suddenly , Nancy felt her appetite spark . " I didn't think you'd be this good at cooking. " Gideon served her a piece of the ribs . " Here . Try this . " Nancy took a bite , and it was surprisingly good . " It's delicious . How did you learn to cook ? " " I lived on my own when I was abroad , " answered Gideon , piling food on her plate . Nancy liked the food that she ate a lot without realising it . Just like that , the two of them devoured the dishes . Nancy commented , " The food you've made is so good . But you don't look like someone who's good at cooking . " Then what kind of person am I ? " Gideon leaned against the chair , a teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips . " I think you're like Yelena , someone who's always working and has no time to cook . " " And has stomach issues ? " Gideon smirked . Nancy laughed but quickly recomposed herself . " Exactly . " " No doubt , work is important . But to me , life matters more . After all , we're here to live , " said Gideon slowly . Gideon had a captivating charm , yet there wasn't the slightest " It's no wonder you're the heir to the Fullers , " Nancy remarked , impressed . Gideon chuckled . " What about you ? " of demeanor often found in powerful people . she picked up a lot of Skills from a young age , just so she could Nancy fell silent at his words , feeling lost and unsure . When the Moores adopted make a name for herself and not be looked down upon by others . Gideon's heart ached when he saw the confusion in her eyes . His voice softened as he said , " You're still young , so you need to live more for yourself . " Ian cares for you deeply . He'd want you to be a bit more selfish . "
