Betrayed I Upgraded to His Billionaire Brother novel Chapter 205

**Pushing the Edge 205**

**Chapter 205**

I indulged him for a moment, allowing the question to linger in my mind. “If I had to imagine… probably, yes.”

A subtle smile began to dance in his eyes, a flicker of amusement that warmed the air between us.

“So, just from hearing your grandmother mention him a few times, you’ve already deduced that he’s a decent guy?” he probed, his tone teasing yet curious.

I shook my head, a soft laugh escaping my lips. “No, I just think your grandmother is a truly wonderful person.”

And her cooking? Absolutely divine.

“Points for Grandma,” I added, a playful glint in my eye.

Gavin paused, contemplating my words. “That works too,” he finally replied, though I couldn’t quite grasp the full meaning behind his statement.

The ravioli simmered gently on the stove, nearing completion, yet Gavin showed no inclination to take his leave. I felt a gentle urgency to nudge him toward the door.

“Shouldn’t you be heading back soon?” I asked, my voice light but laced with expectation.

He lifted his chin, a half-smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Weren’t you waiting to go back with me?”

I decided not to play coy. “Fine. Let’s go.”

On the surface, I appeared calm and collected, but the tips of my ears betrayed my composure, flushing a deep crimson.

Yet, Gavin remained rooted in place, a mischievous glint in his eyes that left me perplexed. “We’re not going?” I questioned, my brow furrowing in confusion.

He casually gestured toward the bathroom with a tilt of his chin. “I need to freshen up first.”

“Oh, right,” I replied, the realization dawning on me.

It hardly mattered whose space we used to get ready; I simply wanted to be with him.

I made my way to the master bathroom, just as I picked up my mouthwash cup. To my surprise, I noticed Gavin shuffling in behind me, his house slippers making soft sounds against the floor.

This time, the intention behind his presence became clear. “I don’t have a new mouthwash cup here,” I said, slightly flustered.

Aside from Chloe, and my mentor and his wife, there wasn’t anyone else I considered close enough to warrant extra toiletries. My mentor and his wife would never crash at my place, so I never bothered to keep spare items stocked.

Gavin raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at his lips. “So you’re saying you do have a toothbrush?”
