Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 1045

Gideon humbly said, “No worries, we’re family after all. If you’re happy so is Nelly, and if Nelly is happy, so am I.”

He quietly scattered some kibble on the ground.

Cathy smiled at his words.

That night, Sean was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

It's been over thirty years since he escaped from home at age ten to live in the desert. It was his home now. To just up and leave was challenging but Gideon's offer was so tempting. Not to mention there was Cathy…

Sigh, he just could not let Cathy go to China all by herself.

Especially since she stayed with him for all those years.

Her body was not fully healed yet, and although she was much better at talking to people now, her emotions were still unstable.

There was still an instinctive anxiety reflex when there were too many people around.

At the time, Cathy trusted no one but him. Sean thought about it but was still worried.

The next morning, Sean walked out of his room with panda eyes and shot a look at Gideon once he saw him. “I’ll go to China with you.”

At the time, Gideon was carrying Little Viemond, teaching him how to use a computer on the sofa. He looked at Sean and smiled.

“You’re sure? No regrets?”

Sean was already in a bad mood but seeing Gideon tease him made him feel worse.

He glared at Gideon. “I said yes okay?! I’m not regretting what I said!”

With that, he left without even eating breakfast, huffing, and puffing.

Cathy saw Sean grabbing his car keys and leaving in a huff when she was walking out of the kitchen. She asked, “Ah, where are you going? It’s time for breakfast!”

Sean snapped without looking back. “I’m going to the lab.”

Cathy frowned and stomped her foot. “I can't believe him! It’s breakfast time and he’s going to the lab?”

Nell smiled and grabbed Cathy’s shoulders. “Mom, he’s going to the lab to get ready to move his things, don't worry.”

Cathy knew he would say yes, but hearing him say it still made her smile.

She was separated from Nell for a decade. Naturally, she wanted to be with her after reuniting, but she also did not want to leave Sean. He was not just kind to her but gave her a decade’s worth of love and affection.

Still, to have the best of both worlds was unrealistic and she knew that.

For Sean to leave the place he knows as his whole world and give up everything he built from the ground up was something… it was cruel.

Somehow, he still said yes.

This was his choice now. To compromise so much to fulfill her wishes.

Gideon gave in after hearing that and let them do their thing.

Nell and Cathy sat in the car, headed towards the biggest mall in the area. It was full of shops that sold many local trinkets and specialties.

She found a nice souvenir shop and picked out a few of each item. Nell had them packed and gave their mailing address before leaving.

When they walked out, Cathy suddenly pointed out. "Oh I remember there's an authentic snack shop on that street, why don't we buy some back for everyone's afternoon tea?"

Nell could feel that she was at least slightly attached to the area. It may be out of habit but she had lived here for a whole decade.

Now that she was leaving, buying a local delicacy one last time was like a farewell of sorts.

Nell agreed.

It was the perfect time for shopping since it was not snowing, the skies were clear, the sun was out but it was not overly warm.

It was a comfortable winter day, and it was crowded.

The driver did not object and sat in the car, waiting for them.

Nell smiled, "That's not true. Whenever you feel like you miss this place, we'll come back and visit with you.
