The God's Boy

, which allowed Nick to have breakfast in comfort.

Gatsby is waiting, waiting for the good show of the next day, and the climax of the story is about to kick off.

interrupted lunch

When Gatsby and Nick finally arrived at Tom's manor, it was still early, but the servants at the door were already waiting there. Nick and Gatsby sat down in the living room under the leadership of the housekeeper. Soon Daisy and Baker came, but Tom was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm so glad you're here, I miss you so much." Daisy seemed in a good mood, she gave Nick a warm hug, then turned her face to Gatsby with a charming smile, Baker then walked in, still It is so proud.

"I can't believe it, we met yesterday." Nick was obviously flattered, and Daisy's tone and surprise expression almost convinced Nick that they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Tom needs to take care of some things. I may only see him at lunch. I hope you don't mind." Daisy said to Gatsby very politely, as if the other party was really just an ordinary guest. She seems to have really let go of the past with Gatsby.

"Does anyone need some ice? Today's weather is really unbearable." Baker fanned his hand with a bad expression on his face. Although the fan in the room had already been turned on, the hot weather still made people feel uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable.

Daisy asked the housekeeper to bring some iced wine, two more fans were installed in the room to cool down, and the French windows around had already been opened, hoping to use these means to lower the temperature in the room, but it still felt futile.

Tom soon appeared in the living room. He was very happy for Nick's arrival, but he still showed obvious hostility towards Gatsby. Greeted, although the other party had no intention of responding.

A group of people chatted in the living room for a while, mainly Daisy and Baker were chatting, the other three men were a little quiet, and soon the housekeeper came to invite a few of them to move over to eat, but before Daisy stood up, the people in the living room The phone rang.

As soon as the phone rang, Daisy and the others turned their gazes to Tom. Tom had no intention of answering the phone, and the ringing disappeared quickly because the butler answered the phone. Tom walked towards the restaurant without changing his pace. They followed her one after another, and Daisy's expression became a little ugly.

After everyone was seated, the servants immediately started serving dishes. Daisy sat opposite Tom, but Tom always avoided Daisy's sight. Gatsby was talking softly, some overly beautiful and ambiguous scenes made Tom feel uncomfortable.

The dishes were served soon, and when Daisy was about to announce that it was time to dine, the harsh ringing of the bell disturbed the atmosphere on the table again. Daisy's smile disappeared in an instant, and she looked at Tom with some resentment in her eyes, Baker and Nick sat aside and watched , Gatsby smiled as if he hadn't heard anything. Tom saw Gatsby's smile, although he thought it was impossible, but he always felt that Gatsby knew everything.

The butler came in and asked Tom to answer the phone. Tom got up helplessly to answer the phone, which made Daisy's expression even more gloomy, which was in sharp contrast to the sunny weather outside. Daisy seemed unable to bear it, so she also got up and left The three people sitting in the living room and dining room fell silent for a moment.

Soon Tom and Daisy came back. The two seemed to have quarreled. Daisy's eyes were a little red, and even her voice trembled a little. Tom frowned and panted heavily. He walked past Daisy quickly. Si, sat back in his seat.After being silent for a while, Tom seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He forced a smile that could be regarded as a smile, and let everyone start eating. Nick and Baker started eating without speaking, while Gatsby was comforting Daisy, which made Tom feel uncomfortable. more angry.

Miss Baker seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, and wanted to say something, but found that it was futile to say anything, so she closed her mouth again and ate quietly. Nick on the side was a good bystander. Everyone's performance was in the eye, but they didn't comment much, except for Gatsby who paid more attention.

Under Gatsby's comfort, Daisy quickly recovered. Her tutor did not allow her to lose her composure again. Seeing that Daisy had recovered, Gatsby didn't say anything, and started to eat lunch.The dining table was extremely quiet for a while, and the people at the dining table had their own concerns in their hearts, and this lunch was a bit tasteless.

After lunch, everyone went back to the living room to rest for a while. It was noon, and the weather was even hotter. The wind blowing in from the windows was hot, not to mention the effects of the fans. The people sitting in the living room were like The heat seemed to melt, especially Daisy, who was almost limp on the sofa, but even so, her figure was full of charm.

"The weather is really too hot, does anyone want to go swimming?" Daisy suggested weakly, it seemed that even the last bit of vitality was evaporated by the high temperature.

"The beach is full of people, you don't want to go." Tom stood by the window, looking out at the sea.

"My manor is just across the street." Gatsby, who hadn't spoken much at first, suddenly opened his mouth. Tom turned to look at him, and he casually pointed to the opposite location, "My favorite thing every day is to watch It’s beautiful to see the green light here.”

After Gatsby finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Daisy. This scene fell into Tom's eyes, but he didn't say anything. After listening to Gatsby's words, he turned his head and looked out the window. Tsby's manor, and he found the green lighthouse beside the dock, which Tom had never noticed before.

"I want to go for a drive. Let's drive to the city and drive back after dinner. It must be cooler than here." Daisy proposed again, but Tom vetoed it again.

"Daisy, it's hot outside now, you'll regret it." Tom withdrew his eyes, turned his head to focus on Daisy and Gatsby, his brows furrowed even more, and he suddenly realized If they drove to the city, Daisy and the others would probably see his lover Myrtle, which made him feel uneasy.

Daisy straightened up slightly, looking like she wanted to say something, but the sudden ringtone interrupted all conversations, everyone turned to look at the phone in unison, but no one made a move, including Tom.

The sharp ringing of the phone stimulated everyone's eardrums, and the already stuffy room made people feel even more suffocating at this moment. Daisy's face was almost pale, she bit her lower lip as if she was enduring something, the ringing didn't last long, and the instant After the time stopped, no one seemed to react.

"Okay, listen to me, let's go to the city now, let's drive together." Tom first broke the depressing atmosphere, but at this moment no one responded to him, even Daisy thought of refusing.

"I don't want to go, I feel a little uncomfortable." Daisy stood up and walked to the side. She spoke intermittently. For some reason, her whole body was shaking. She didn't even hold the lighter and dropped it on the ground. It was Gates. Than helped her pick it up.

Daisy seemed to get some encouragement and support from Gatsby's eyes, and she finally agreed to drive to the city together, maybe for her, as long as it wasn't this place.

Daisy left quickly, Tom and Baker followed behind Daisy, while Nick and Gatsby stayed in the living room for a while, as if they were going to finish their glasses of wine before leaving, Nick finally found a chance to come Speak to Gatsby.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Nick looked at Gatsby, and Gatsby smiled at him and nodded slightly. Nick was a little surprised by Gatsby's superb acting skills, even though he had known Gatsby for a long time. There was no chance between Tsby and Daisy, but he did have a little suspicion just now that their old relationship had rekindled, which made Nick feel a little guilty for doing something wrong.

Although the question Nick asked was a little abrupt, Gatsby understood what he meant. He did behave like this on purpose in front of Tom. Choosing between Daisy and his lover is the only thing Gatsby can do to help Daisy, and he will naturally do well.

"I don't know why, I always have a bad feeling." Nick hesitated for a long time, and finally said it to Gatsby, although Nick has never believed in things like sixth sense, But today this feeling makes him very uncomfortable.Nick is very Tom, and Tom has always been impatient. For Gatsby who has repeatedly challenged him, Tom's performance is almost on the verge of breaking out. Nick is a little worried that there will be accidents between Gatsby and Tom.

"It's okay, I'm here." Hearing Nick's words, Gatsby was stunned for a while, as if he remembered something, but soon recovered, he comforted Nick with a smile, and that sincere smile seemed to really comfort Nick in an instant , Nick gradually calmed down, he believed in Gatsby.

Nick and Gatsby stared at each other quietly for a while, and there was something wrong with the atmosphere, but neither of them pointed it out, but soon the butler came to inform them that the car was ready, and Daisy and the others were already changing their clothes at the door. outside.

Gatsby packed his clothes and walked towards the door with Nick. Daisy and the others stood at the door and didn't know what they were talking about.
