Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire

Chapter 710

Gwen’s POV

“No way.” Matthew said it like I had just asked him to burn down Kensington headquarters and run through the lobby with a fire extinguisher in his hands.

I leaned back in the chair and watched the scene with a calm that wasn’t calm.

The office was my office.

Same desk, same view, the same corner where I kept a mug I never actually used.

Except now, I was sitting on the opposite side of the desk.

It felt wrong.

Not because of pride.

Because of instinct.

My body knew exactly where I sat when I was the one in charge.

And on the other side was Matthew.

At least it was him.

At least when I looked at that occupied chair, I saw someone I trusted enough not to feel like they were stealing my skin.

Mia was still standing, leaning against the bookshelf, with that posture of someone ready to laugh and ready to bite in the same sentence.

Dante was sprawled in the armchair like this was a social call and not a conversation that could change a child’s life.

Matthew, on the other hand, had the serious look of someone who understood exactly what it meant to be here.

“Why are you asking me to do this, Gwen?” he asked, more controlled now.

“You have a private investigator.You have Child Protective Services.You have Cross.Why do you want to do this?” I didn’t dodge.

“You know why,” I replied.

“I have trouble trusting people.” Matthew raised an eyebrow like I had just stated the most obvious thing in the world and it was still somehow annoying.
