Jordy’s Concerns
For an instant, the air in the room seemed colder!
Even George and Nydia felt the creeping chill outside.
The sun was shining, but they both felt a little horrified.
They were silent and exchanged glances unconsciously.
There was a murderous look in Jordy’s cold eyes, but Gloria met his gaze without flinching.
Jordy sneered with a nod, “Wow, cool.”
“Stop it. Let go of me!”
With that, she suddenly struggled hard and broke free before Jordy knew it.
Gloria hurried to the door and opened it. George walked in with Nydia.
George looked at Jordy with an evil cackle. “Dude, you were so quick.”
Nydia and I just had breakfast. Maybe Jordy hasn’t eaten yet.
Gloria went on with a smile. “You haven’t eaten anything since last night, and you came to Gloria this
morning. Why don’t you go get something to eat?”
George glanced at Gloria and asked, “Can I use your kitchen?”
Jordy’s brow furrowed and his face fell, but George looked at ease. If he didn’t speak for Jordy, Gloria
would never know and feel grateful.
Nydia was also surprised. It’s already noon. Jordy hasn’t eaten yet since last night. If he doesn’t get a
bite, he might faint from hunger.
Nydia remained mute and turned her eyes to Gloria. Jordy is not allowed to stay. He’s been so mean to
Gloria. He deserves it.
But… before I arrived here, I felt…
Gloria frowned, “Go out and eat. I need to rest.”
“Your bedroom is upstairs, and we are downstairs. I will not make too much noise in the kitchen. Don’t
worry. I can cook. I’ll not burn down the kitchen.”
Gloria pursed her lips and went upstairs without another word.
Nydia gave them a weird look and then followed Gloria to her bedroom.
“Gloria, how long were you asleep? Did you not sleep well? Why don’t you take a nap?” Nydia looked
at Gloria with concern. Gloria didn’t need some more sleep and said quietly, “I’ve had enough sleep.”
Nydia’s eyes flashed. She thought about it and told Gloria what had happened this morning.
“When I was sleeping this morning, Jordy began to bang on my door. He looked so worried and told me
you were gone and asked me where you were. I was also worried. I checked my phone and saw your
message. Jordy then grabbed my phone. That was very rude of him! Only you can make him
nervous…”
“Gloria, I can’t help feeling that he wasn’t faking it. He didn’t have to. There was no reason for that. But
if Mrs. Collins were there, then it would be different. He really cares about her.”
