The female police officer did not let Lena participate in the subsequent matter but solemnly thanked her and asked someone to
take them back.
“No need, I drove here. I can take her back.” Gideon turned to look at Lena, and Lena nodded.
The female police officer looked at the two with an ambiguous smile, but without giving Lena and Gideon a chance to explain,
she sent them out.
Standing outside the police station, the two looked at each other awkwardly.
“May I treat you to dinner?” Lena took the lead in regaining her composure. “If you hadn’t arrived in time that day, I might have
become one of the injured girls.”
“No, you needn’t.”
Gideon refused several times and had to agree to Lena’s request. Lena took Gideon to a hidden restaurant. The storefront of the
restaurant was not big, but the facilities inside looked very clean, and there was a kind couple busy.
Seeing Lena, they showed a happy smile. “Lena is here.”
Being affectionately addressed in front of an unfamiliar one, Lena showed a rare hint of shyness. “I take my friend to have a
meal.”
The old man took them into a private room and said in a warm voice, “Please sit down, and I will cook delicious food for you.”
As the old man left, Lena quietly explained to Gideon, “Although the store here is not big, it is considered the best foreign
restaurant here. Chloe and George are both very nice.”
Most foreign restaurants in Farmland had been renovated, just like adding strawberries to pizza or coffee to pasta. So Lena
almost never ate those things. It was also by chance that she found this small restaurant and became a frequent customer there.
Soon, Chloe served several dishes, one after another. Gideon took a try and was immediately shocked.
As Lena said, the dishes cooked by George were very delicious. Especially in a foreign country, it was absolutely delicious.
“Thank you for taking me here.” Gideon smiled gently, “I will definitely become a regular here in the future.”
Gideon’s liking was not like pretending. Lena also smiled. “As long as you like it.”
After this incident and this meal, Lena and Gideon became completely familiar with each other.
The two often discussed their works together and became role models among their classmates.
Certainty, even if the two were together every day or even stayed together all afternoon, no one had ever thought about the
scandal of them.
Everyone knew that Lena was a true aloof beauty, and Gideon was also a cold and handsome man. It was impossible for them
to get involved, let alone that Lena had just encountered someone like Willington.
Although the arrest of Willington was not publicly announced, some information was leaked. Everyone basically knew that the
man who had pursued Lena was not only a lewd man who followed women every day, but also a serial killer who turned them
into specimens.
Now, everyone looked at the victim, Lena, with even more sympathy.
In this situation, everyone was more willing to believe that she turned her grief and anger into the effort and started her studies
seriously. Instead of being coveted by others, she could not fall in love with other men back, and she was not as love-minded as
in the novel. On the day of handing in the group assignment, Lena and Gideon also handed in their answers.
