"Childish? How is this childish?" Skyler thought to himself. Then, turning to Gordon, he blurted out, "Uncle, you're just jealous! You're jealous that I have a stamp of love, and you've got nothing!"

Gordon's expression didn't change as he let out a cold laugh. "Heh, me? Jealous of you?"

It was just a lipstick print. What was there to be jealous of? Besides, he was a neat freak. If that lipstick stain didn't wash out, what then? His shirts were expensive. He wasn't jealous at all. Not one bit!

He then added, "You're not just childish, you're completely love-struck! Just you wait, you're going to suffer for it!"

A tiny lipstick print had Skyler this full of himself. If that wasn't being love-struck, what was? Skyler wasn't just going to suffer for love, he was going to suffer big time!

Skyler scoffed. "As if you're not a love-struck fool yourself!"

"Of course I'm not," Gordon said with a grave expression. "A real man should prioritize his career. How can he let himself get lost in romantic trifles? Look at you now. Do you even resemble a proper man anymore?"

By the end, Gordon's face was a mask of disappointment, as if scolding a hopeless

case.

"Tsk, tsk," Skyler chuckled. "Uncle, did I hit a nerve? Hahahahaha."

"A nerve? Why would I be triggered? There's nothing to be triggered about. Do you really think I'm that easy to rile up?"

Gordon was normally a man of few words, but now he was firing off three questions like a machine gun. To Skyler, this only confirmed that his uncle's defenses were crumbling.

So, Skyler laughed even harder. "I bet you're dying for Boss Caitlin to give you a love stamp right now, aren't you?"

"Not in a million years."

Gordon couldn't be bothered with him anymore.

Soon, they reached the underground parking garage. Skyler got behind the wheel, with Gordon in the passenger seat. After buckling his seatbelt, Gordon took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Caitlin. [Boss, I'm in the car. Skyler picked me up.]

After sending the message, he raised his phone again, took a picture of Skyler's profile, and sent that too.

Caitlin sent him a photo back. [I'm having tea with Grandpa.]

Seeing Gordon glued to his phone since getting in the car, Skyler said, "Uncle, reporting your every move to your wife?"

Though it was a question, Skyler said it like a statement of fact.

"Mm," Gordon hummed in acknowledgment.

Gordon didn't even deny it! That surprised Skyler. "Uncle, you were just calling me a love-struck fool. Arent you one too. If you ask me, you're the king of love struck fools!

Gordon glanced at Skyler. "This is called a desire to share. What would you know?"

In a relationship, there should be

open communication and accountability. That's why Gordon always reported his whereabouts to Caitlin as soon as the set out, down to the last detail.

Skyler grinned. "Uncle, do you even remember what you used to be like?"

The Gordon of the past would sip coffee in the car and get straight to business on his laptop, scoffing at anything romantic Now lookat him, checking in with every little detail.

Skyler truly never expected the untouchable ice prince of an uncle to have a day like

this.

Gordon looked up slightly. "Mind your own business."

His voice was flat, but it was enough to make Skyler shut his mouth.

Fine, fine. The ice prince was back.

At the Gonzales estate.

Perhaps because he had stayed at Gonzales Manor before, Fortune found that on

his first day back, he wasn't as uncomfortable as he had expected.
