Chapter 961 Feeling Sorry For Your Husband
"Alright, I'll leave it to you."
Aaron looked relieved.
He glanced at the bag in Johnnie's hand. "Is that breakfast for her?"
"Yeah."
Johnnie said, "Mr. Gordon, I'll head back now."
"Okay."
Watching Johnnie leave, Nora sighed.
Aaron wrapped his arm around her waist. "Why the sigh?"
Nora said, "I feel bad for him. How did he end up with someone like Gabriella?"
Aaron replied, "Maybe it's just his fate."
Nora blinked. "Honey, why don't we try to turn Gabriella against Rafael?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "You want to turn her against him?"
"Yeah, it sounds like she's not entirely on board with Rafael," Nora said.
"But she's still working with him."
"That's why we need to turn her against him."
Aaron, now interested, sat down on the couch with her. "How do we do that?"
Nora's eyes sparkled. "With a man!"
Aaron frowned. "No way, you want to use me?"
Nora gave him a sidelong glance. "You're overthinking it. Step aside."
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "If not me, you want to use Johnnie?"
Nora nodded. "I think Gabriella might have feelings for Johnnie."
She had seen them kiss under the fireworks at the estate. It was so romantic.
Her intuition told her Gabriella had feelings for Johnnie.
"I doubt it."
Aaron didn't agree.
"Gabriella is too cunning. What she shows us might all be a facade. No one knows what she really thinks."
Nora asked, "So you think my idea won't work?"
Aaron said, "Trying to sway her to our cause is too risky."
Nora sighed, "But Johnnie looks so pitiful."
She wanted to help him and getting rid of Gabriella. It would be killing two birds with one stone, right?
"Alright, stop feeling sorry for Johnnie and feel sorry for me instead."
Aaron pinched her chin and kissed the corner of her lips, looking aggrieved.
Nora blinked. "Why should I feel sorry for you?"
Aaron said, "You're in my arms, but I can't have sex with you. How pitiful is that?"
Nora was speechless.
Johnnie returned to his room with breakfast.
Gabriella was staring at her phone in a daze.
Seeing Johnnie return, she composed herself. "You went to get breakfast?"
"Yeah, come and eat." Johnnie placed the breakfast on the table.
Gabriella, a bit distracted, sat across from him.
Johnnie opened the bag and handed her breakfast.
Gabriella took the milk and noticed Johnnie's cold expression. Her eyes flickered.
"Johnnie, did you see the news?"
She needed to know what Johnnie thought after seeing the news.
She had to appease Johnnie first.
"Are you referring to the rumors about you and Mr. Gordon?"
Johnnie glanced at her, his face expressionless.
"You saw it?" Gabriella asked.
Johnnie looked at her. "Gabriella, are you seducing Mr. Gordon?"
Gabriella playfully glared at him. "You're jumping to conclusions again."
Johnnie said, "Then why did you meet with Mr. Gordon in private?"
Gabriella replied, "Because he and Nora had a fight. He asked me for advice on how to make Nora care about him. I just wanted to help. I didn't expect to be photographed by reporters and mistaken for Nora."
"Really?" Johnnie sneered.
Gabriella frowned. "You don't believe me?"
Johnnie took a sip of his soup and stayed quiet.
Gabriella reached out and held his hand. "Johnnie, you're my boyfriend. You have to trust me. If I wanted Aaron, why would I be with you?"
Johnnie looked up, meeting her eyes. "Didn't you say I satisfy you sexually and you have physical needs? You just see me as a tool."
Gabriella was momentarily speechless, then playfully said, "You actually took that seriously? You're such a goofball!"
Johnnie stayed silent, pulled his hand away, and continued eating.
Gabriella pouted. "I don't want to talk to you anymore. I need to call Nora and explain, so she doesn't overthink."
She dialed Nora's number.
"Hello?"
"Nora, you and Mr. Gordon aren't fighting, are you?" Gabriella asked with a smile.
Nora was silent for a moment. "Gabriella, do you like Aaron?"
Gabriella said, "You saw the news, right? I knew you'd misunderstand. It's not what you think."
Nora stayed silent.
Gabriella continued, "Nora, I apologize. Yesterday, I met with Mr. Gordon because you two had a fight. I was worried and wanted to give him some advice to help you reconcile. I didn't expect to be photographed by reporters and mistaken for you."
Nora said, "Is that all? Then why did you hug him?"
"That's not true! I accidentally tripped, and Mr. Gordon kindly helped me."
Gabriella quickly explained, "You know how reporters love to capture angles. Something fake can look real in a photo."
Nora was silent again.
Gabriella said, "Nora, please believe me. If I really wanted Mr. Gordon, I wouldn't be with Johnnie. I'm not stupid. If I became someone else's woman, would Mr. Gordon still want me?"
Nora was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Alright, now's not the time to discuss this. Aaron and I will issue a clarification statement later. You should do the same."
It seemed like Nora believed her.
Gabriella smirked and agreed.
After hanging up, Gabriella looked at Johnnie, who was watching her.
Gabriella's eyes flickered. She walked over to him, pulled his hand, and sat on his lap.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, Gabriella kissed the corner of Johnnie's lips. "Honey, don't you believe me?"
Johnnie's body tensed, but he said nothing.
Gabriella gently caressed his face, lifted his chin, and kissed his lips again.
"What will it take for you to believe me?"
Johnnie's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He looked at Gabriella's charming face and said, "He's so outstanding. It's normal for you to like him."
Gabriella raised an eyebrow, her slender fingers trailing down his Adam's apple, teasingly.
"Are you jealous? Honey, you're finally jealous. Being misunderstood was worth it! I'm a bit happy."
Gabriella laughed coquettishly, acting as if it were real.
Johnnie knew she was just using him.
Because he was Aaron's right-hand man, this cooperation plan would inevitably go through him.
So Gabriella wanted to start with him to get the cooperation plan, so she had to appease him first.
Gabriella's hand moved down to his waist.
Johnnie grabbed her hand. "Alright, stop messing around. Let's deal with the news first."
He softened his voice, pretending to be submissive.
