I think so too, especially if he got a thumping the first time, I think Nathan only went that first time to try and intimidate Gideon and to threaten Gideon with pictures and videos of Eva and to ruin is career which probably made Gideon thump him once, I think the time Monica saw Nathan outside Crossfire, Nathan had just been up to see Gideon and show him the photo's and video and try to get money out of him, that time I think Gideon got really scared for Eva which put him in that mood and to say to her to Love him was his way of showing Eva he was so scared for her but would do anything for her
