Genius Children - The Heirs
17. Confrontation of the Heart

Gideon let a grin unfold on his handsome face as he carefully placed Liana on the bed. The woman did not move at all, sleeping deep in her dreams.

Gideon adjusted his position, making sure the cushioned cushion supported his beautiful head, arranging his well-detailed hairs on the right and left sides.

His face was asleep like an angel. Gideon touched the tiny face before taking steps to clean himself up.

As he stood up suddenly the ringing of the cell phone from Liana's bag rang. Gideon scrunched his forehead before deciding to pick it up and answer the call.

“Mother, when are you going home? I was scared at home alone. Mom, hurry home.”

The sound of whining sounds so sweet. Gideon knitted his brows. He remembered how this little boy had doused him with water.

Gideon was amazed by Damian. A four-year-old boy already had courage. Especially in front of him Damian treated him like a bad person and he spoke like a boss.

“Mother, you listened to me right?”

Gideon opened his mouth and replied with a heavy voice. “Ya.”

“You...Gideon right?”

Damian's cute voice is now changing. His voice now sounded very mature and indifferent.

Damian called me Gideon without trembling. Maybe he didn't know that I was his father.

Gideon frowned in surprise. “Yes, it's me. Why do you just call me by name?”

“Then what should I call you? Why is my mom's phone on you?”

“Your mother is sleeping, don't make noise.”

“My book with you! You bully him! Wasn't the last time I told you not to bother my mom.”

“Didn't you give me a choice.”

“I'm sorry.”

“Sorry?”

Gideon could not help but laugh witfully.

“Yes, because now it doesn't matter what you choose. You'll never be our family so give me back my mom.”

Gideon suddenly compares Damian and Daniel. Even though they were born from the same womb they were clearly different.

Damian's tone of voice was more similar to her.

Gideon sat by his bedside and stretched out his hand to caress Liana's cheek.

“You are not at all funny.”

“I'm not joking.”

“Speak the price! How much do you want you to get away from my mom?”

Gideon's surprised. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This kid plans to use his piggy bank coin to negotiate with me?

“Do you want to negotiate with me?”

“Ya, so say.”

“I can't name the price. It's hard to tell how precious a woman is in my heart and she's so precious. Then we can only play fair.”

“According to you between me and you, who will my mother choose? I think you already know the answer. Want to play fair, of course you lose.”

“Oh, really? Why don't we wait and see it.”

“Nothing can replace my position in my mother's heart. Why are you still challenging me?”

The call just ended. Gideon loosened his eyebrows. He deleted the call records.

“I am my father and he is my son. Why should I compete with him?”

Gideon's face was a little frustrated. The lives of rich people like the Cross family are complicated. Family relationships are only in the form of shares and property. All the members fought each other cold war to seize the treasure.

Simon Cross has two wives. Of his two wives, he has only one son, Peter Cross. Gideon Cross is the only son of Peter Cross.

Gideon is the sole heir so he will inherit the entire Cross family fortune once Simon Cross retires. But what to remember. Other family members will not remain silent.

This is what makes Gideon so careful in every step he takes. That's how it's living life. He should not let a woman stay with him for too long. All he did was play around.

Because when he fell in love, when the breakup came. It's very painful. Because he has experienced it. When his mother died. His heart was so sore and torn.

He did not want to feel the pain anymore and did not let Daniel feel it. He struggled to build a wall around him.

.........

Liana's loud cell phone alarm roused her from her sleep. His little eyes opened and his life was gathered together before he could completely turn off the sound.

He went back to sleep to improve his position and look for the most comfortable position. Aware of something, he immediately opened his eyes. She was shocked when she saw her hands and feet wrapped around someone beside her.

Liana's head lying on Gideon's chest immediately looked up. Seeing Gideon still asleep. He slowly took off his twists and blamed himself.

When Liana could almost get away from the bed. Suddenly he fell back onto the bed as Gideon grabbed his hand and pressed him down.

“You're up?”

Gideon's voice was hoarse and lazy. Bringing something magical to Liana.

Liana was very nervous so she closed her eyes and nodded. Gideon now supported his head and smiled.

“Have woken up still pretending to sleep?”

Liana pursed her lips and was embarrassed. He tried to close his eyes and make no sound.

“Open your eyes and look at me!”

Liana is a stubborn woman so she does not heed Gideon's orders.

Gideon then pressed Liana's body back.

“You!”

Gideon smiled. “Wake up and get ready.”

Gideon got up and got out. Liana watched him before her eyes fell on a dress lying on the sofa.

Liana hurriedly got up and went to take a bath.

After he prepared, he immediately picked up his phone that rang.

“Halo, King.”

“Liana are you okay?”

“Ya.”

“It's okay.”

“Are you home now?”

Liana answered doubtfully.

“Are you with him?”

He's here referring to Gideon Cross. Liana immediately nodded, she forgot that Kingston could not see her because he was only connected by phone call.

“The man is not as simple as it looks so I hope not to get involved with him.”

“Ya, I understand.”

“That guy is very dangerous, you will only get hurt.”

Liana smiled as she heard Kingston grumbling as if he was her elder brother. But Liana's smile did not last long as her eyes looked at Gideon who was already standing in front of her.

“King, thank you for your advice. I'll hang up first.”

“Liana, I'll protect you..”.

Bam

Liana jumped in fright as her phone was forcefully snatched away by a large hand. The phone flew free to smash through the window glass.

“Why did you suddenly get angry and destroy my phone?”

Liana turned around and looked at the formless phone.

“Where do you want to go?”

“Rome.”

“I can't believe it. You're gonna look for him, right? Do you think Kingston can protect you?”

“So what if I look for it? What's the matter with you? Besides who would want to live with a crazy guy like you.”

“You are my woman. You are forbidden to approach another man. I don't like mine being touched by someone else.”

“I'm not an item and I'm not yours. Why do you always act as you please? Why do you keep demeaning myself? Why do you always demean me? Is it because I agreed to be a surrogate mother?

I admit I filed it. If it wasn't for my father's business on the verge of bankruptcy. I wouldn't do it. Is it after I pay you a billion, you'll return Damian to me? I'll pay you, you son of a bitch.”

“Shut!”

“Damian is my son. I'll do anything for her to keep her with me including staying by your side as you wish. But do you need to do this to me? Do I have to obey your every command?

I've been a puppet all this time. I can't cry when my heart is sad. I was forced to smile by the bitterness of life that kept pinning me down. I just want to live a normal life. I just want to be loved and protected. Gideon I hate so much. I hate you.”

Liana's words made Gideon ride apoplexy. The man narrowed his eyes and directly dragged Liana and was thrown into the window.

Liana wanted to argue with him again but her neck suddenly hurt. The man reached out his hand and grabbed her by the neck. Liana could not breathe and struggled hard.

Gideon stared at Liana's stubborn face that did not ask for her mercy. Even Liana looked at him no less sharply.

Damian's handsome face appeared in his mind. He can't die now.

Seeing Liana's panic, Gideon let go of her grip and Liana fell on the floor coughing.

It was as if he had just come to his senses from his trance. Gideon immediately crouched down to look at Liana who was already crying.

Gideon stretched out his arms and hugged Liana.

“I'm sorry.”

Gideon lowered his head and landed a kiss on Liana's forehead.

“You hurt me.”

“Only I can hurt you.”

“Do not cry again.”

“You suffocated me.”

“Sorry. Don't call him again or I'll blacklist him. Don't work with him anymore.”

“Why?”

“I don't like him seeing you. I don't like him touching you. I don't like him kissing you.”

“Why don't you like?”

“Because you're my woman. What?”

“Don't register it in the blacklist?”

“Why? You like it, right?”

“No.” Liana looked at him furiously.

“Keep why do you care about him?”

“My relationship with you has nothing to do with him. After all he is a talented actor, singer, producer and young ceo. It wouldn't be fair to him if..”.

“Do you admire him in front of me?”

“Gideon, you..”.

“What?” pissed Gideon.

“Kingston is softer and more understanding than you. He is handsome and talented.”

“I'm much more handsome and rich.”

When Liana looked at Gideon she became reminded of Damian. Damian is also a jealous man.

“Gideon are you a child? Don't act like a child.”

“Silence. You are not allowed to leave me.”

“But I have to leave you. I have to go home now. Damian is waiting for me at home.”

“Eat something before going home.”

Liana hurriedly ate after that she ran to the door.

“You want to go home now?”

“Ya.”

“I inter.”
