Chapter 240: Terror Teacher
Gale and Craig were watching the news when Gale suddenly said, "Can I visit Gilbert tomorrow?"
She wanted to check his graveyard since it had been a few days already when she last visited. The last one when she ran away from the goons that were after her.
Craig heaved a long sigh and said, "No… It's still not safe. I told you there's still someone roaming in your apartment and the same goes about that graveyard. This time is very crucial Gale since you have filed a case against Frank now. The only solution they have to save themselves right now is to kill you. With you dead, it will be easy for him to go out from the detention center since no one will continue with charges against him."
"If I die, I'm sure Liam will not let it go…" Gale unconsciously murmured.
"Can I at least visit him too? I haven't properly thanked him and Lana. Like even buy them dinner… Also, I would like to explain my side to him about why I took Noah's help instead." Gale added. She was unsure of her decision, but what mattered was that she would no longer involve Liam in her life's mess. Like now, her life was in danger…
Her conscience would not let her be if anything bad would happen to Liam because of his involvement with her. So she still thought this was the best decision to take. She would be forever grateful and indebted to Liam for everything he did for her from start till now, and she would not let any harm come his way for that cause.
"Do you miss them?" Gale heard Craig asked.
"Huh?" Gale turned to look at him, whom she caught staring at her.
"Gilbert and Liam," Craig continued.
Gale laughed and said, "Hey why does it sound like I'm a playgirl?"
"Yes, you are… Because you are loving two men at the same time…" He candidly stated. He was aware of Gale's story because he personally handled the investigation about her.
Gale's face reddened in embarrassment.
"Why are you so unlucky? The other man is dead and the first one is alive and yet already married…" she heard Craig murmured. She was not sure if he was mocking her, but it seemed like she saw sympathy in his eyes.
She was the first who broke their eye contact. She somehow felt uncomfortable for an unknown reason.
She heard him sigh before he added, "Don't get me wrong, Gale. I'm not mocking you or anything, just that I have never met a woman as unlucky as you. But then you still got lucky, I guess because Liam managed to prove your innocence. You still took enough space in his heart to not let you be treated unjustly and he fought the impossible case for you. "
Then he continued, "Don't worry. I think talking personally to Liam is possible, but let us ask the Boss first. You see, that person is in a terrible mood right now."
"Oh, yeah, right? Is that okay? Mike will now handle my case? Not that I don't trust him, but it's because I already got comfortable with Luo and I also think she was doing good like how Liam handled my case before." Gale pondered.
"Mike is the best among our lawyers so you don't have to worry… Besides your case will be easy to handle now since Luo has already provided the important points to Mike before she left that was why Noah can still manage his temper. But I'm sure his cunning mind is now working on how to bully Luo and get even with her soon." Craig exposed because Noah already tasked him to do the investigation on Luo and get every single detail about her for him, even things that were not important were supposed to be put in the report.
Craig had his people appointed for doing it right now since he was too focussed on guarding Gale almost twenty-four seven.
His conversation with Gale got interrupted with the sudden ringing of his doorbell. Craig, with a creased forehead stood up to see who it was but then it dawned to him that his mother was the only person who could enter the residence and them without the guards informing him. Or could it be the neighbor unit? But he was not expecting anyone.
He looked at the video screen, and his eyes widened, seeing it was indeed his mother.
"Gale my mom!!!"
Gale almost jumped off her feet from the couch and asked, "What should I do?"
"Hide…" Craig instructed, but it was too late because his mother had already entered the passcode and saw Gale rushing from the living room.
"Craig, who is she?" Gale heard Craig's mother asked, so she halted and turned at the old woman.
"Good evening, ma'am," Gale greeted with a sweet smile.
Craig's mother nodded, but her face was frowning as she looked at her son and asked, "Who is she?"
Craig's face paled, and his mother already could tell what situation he was in. She hit his son and scolded, "You brat… How dare you bring a woman in your place unwed? Is this how I taught you?!"
"Mom… Let me explain first. Things happened so fast, that's why Gale is living here." Craig explained, massaging his shoulder his mother hit. He cursed himself because he forgot about his strict and conservative mother.
She lived miles away in the province and she needed to book a flight first before visiting him. She always called him first though, so how come she visited unannounced?
Gale was quiet too. She was shocked and did not know what to do as well.
"You two… Go to the couch and sit…" she instructed with a straight face. Gale got nervous. Craig's mother looked like her terror teacher when she was in highschool. The one who was too strict and would often scold her students.
Craig followed and so did she. Craig's mother sat on the couch where she could face both of them. She looked at Craig and then to her alternately with a disappointed face. Both Craig and her gulped.
"Tell me everything."
Gale was about to speak, but Craig suddenly grabbed and squeezed her hand.
"Hon, let me explain everything to my mom…"
Gale's ears and eyes enlarged upon hearing the word 'hon'.
'What are you doing?!' her eyes asked directly at him but Craig only answered her with a sweet smile as he shifted his gaze back to his mother and talked.
