THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 187

When Skyler saw Gordon's reply, she nearly blacked out.

Honestly, at this point, she had no words left for her uncle.

[Boss Caitlin literally saved your life! Are you really not going to do anything for her birthday?]

This time, Gordon didn't reply right away.

Because he was already driving toward Willow Park Gardens.

11:30 p.m.

Gordon's car rolled to a stop in front of Building 5.

He'd never given a gift to a girl before.

To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.

According to Google, the best time to give a birthday present is right at midnight.

So, he wasn't in a hurry.

He sat in the driver's seat, waiting patiently.

Every two minutes, he checked the time on his phone.

How strange—time that usually slipped by so quickly was now crawling at a snail's pace.

For the first time, Gordon truly understood what it meant for every second to feel like an eternity.

Ding!

11:45 p.m.

Gordon immediately pulled out his phone and messaged Caitlin on WhatsApp.

At this hour, she was probably asleep.

He wanted to give her a bit of time to get dressed, and she'd have to wait on the elevator, too.

By the time she got downstairs, it'd be just about midnight.

Meanwhile, Caitlin had just wrapped up some work and was standing at her window, gazing out at the city lights, when her phone vibrated.

She glanced at the screen.

A WhatsApp message from Gordon.

[Catie, come downstairs.]

Downstairs?

Caitlin blinked, confused, and texted back: [Why?]

[I'm outside your building.]
