Basil Xavier felt utterly baffled and wronged at this moment.
Only Stella Sterling understood what Gordon Ford meant. She said, "Whether you're like him or not, I'll be the judge of that in time."
'Of course, she knew there was nothing wrong with Gordon's mind. They had known each other for so many years; she would have noticed long ago if something were amiss.'
'Of course, there was nothing wrong with Basil Xavier's mind either, but his behavior just now really made him look like a fool.'
Upon hearing this, Gordon Ford looked as if he'd had an epiphany. He said excitedly, "Does this mean you want to spend more time with me and see what kind of person I am?"
"I'll be on my best behavior. I definitely won't let you down."
Watching Gordon Ford desperately seize the opportunity, so eager to prove himself, Basil Xavier, standing to the side, could hardly bear to look.
'He didn't even know why he found this side of Gordon Ford so intimidating.'
