In the western restaurant.
The restaurant manager and Gavin were old acquaintances. Seeing Gavin come with a girl, the manager was not surprised at all.
What amazed the manager was that the girl brought along by Gavin was completely different in attire and style.
The girls who used to accompany Gavin were all little peris with exquisite makeup and absolutely fashionable appearance. But this time, it was a girl without makeup, who wore a simple T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers...
"Pfft, isn't she one of those who Gavin used to be the most disdainful of?"
However, what could not be denied was that, this girl looked very comfortable. She had plain facial features, simple clothes, and a special youthful aura which made her look clean and bright.
Such a girl, like the morning sun and the morning dew, was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to hurt her.
The manager gave Gavin an ambiguous look without leaving a trace. Just as he was about to tease Gavin, the latter put his arm on the manager's shoulder and said in a joking tone, "I haven't been here for only one or two months. You have modified it here. Let me see how it is changed."
While speaking, Gavin took the opportunity to drag the manager to the corner.
The manager was so dizzy by the arm clutch of Gavin that he looked around and then looked at Gavin in confusion. "Gavin, what's wrong?"
"fuck!" Their restaurant was the same as a few months ago. It had never been modified at all. Gavin had obviously dragged him here on purpose.
Gavin lowered his voice and warned the manager, "I'm serious this time. Be careful when you talk. If you ruin my image in Wendy's mind, I'll make you suffer!"
The manager looked at Gavin with a blank face. "... What are you serious about?" After a pause, he glanced at Wendy who was not far behind him and couldn't help laughing out loud. "You said you were serious about that girl, hahaha..."
Gavin narrowed his eyes and stared at the restaurant manager with heavy eyes. He asked, emphasizing each syllable, "Is it so funny?"
The manager felt a burst of murderous intent. He looked up at Gavin and saw an unprecedentedly deep and serious look in his eyes.
"fuck!" The manager couldn't help marveling. "This time, you're really serious?!"
"..." Gavin was puzzled. Although he used to treat life as a game and now he was going to chase someone seriously, was it so unbelievable?
The manager was still in a state of shock. He nodded and said, "Gavin, I know what I should do!"
Gavin patted the manager's shoulder and said, "Go ahead with your business."
After that, he turned back and sat down beside a window with Wendy.
The steak was soon served, and its appearance was impeccable. The smell was so tempting that it made people's mouth twitch.
Wendy gnashed her teeth and quickly picked up the knife and fork. "It seems that the restaurant really lives up to its reputation!"
Although she could not wait to eat, she looked very elegant and decent when she started to eat. The steak was cut into small pieces, and she put them into her mouth with a well-made fork. She chewed and swallowed leisurely. Even the small action of swallowing was particularly charming.
Only at the moment did Gavin feel that Wendy was indeed a girl who had been brought up in a rich family.
Wendy was very sensitive to Gavin's gaze. When she noticed that Gavin was staring at her, she subconsciously raised her head and her eyes met with Gavin's by accident. Gavin smiled at her.
"..."
For a moment, Wendy's mind went blank.
In this case, she should have looked away as if nothing had happened, but Gavin smiled at her. If she still avoided it, wasn't she trying to cover something up?
Wendy had to say, "Why are you looking at me? It's better to look at the steak in front of you."
Gavin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You are more beautiful than the steak."
"..."
She was better-looking than a steak that had been fried with pickled sauce and oil in Gavin's eyes. Wendy didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
However, since Gavin rarely praised her, she reluctantly chose to be happy.
Thinking of this, Wendy gave Gavin a satisfied look and said, "Mr. Gavin, your aesthetic conception is finally online."
Gavin raised his eyebrows, put on a serious face and advised, "Dr. Moore, as a woman in the prime of her life, what's the point of your life if you can't even beat a steak?"
Wendy was speechless for a moment. "... You mean, I shouldn't think that you are praising me?"
Gavin nodded. "Exactly."
Wendy was so angry that she didn't know how to refute it. She stabbed Gavin's steak with the knife and said, "I don't want to quarrel with you here. If you have the ability, let's go out and fight!"
Gavin thought for a second. Then he shook his head and said, "It's not serious enough to be solved with violence, is it?"
He couldn't call himself smirking, but his tone was very relaxed, as if it was really Wendy, who was making a big fuss.
Wendy was speechless and did not know how to react at all. She suddenly withdrew her hand and glanced at a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She was stunned and took a closer look, only to find that Dolly was already in a taxi.
Oh no, crap!
Gavin soon noticed that there was something wrong with Wendy's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wendy shook her head. "Nothing."
It would be strange if there was nothing wrong!
She had tried her best to deny that she liked Gavin yesterday afternoon, and she was arranged to have a date with Connell today. However, Dolly saw her eating with Gavin with her own eyes...
It was a misunderstanding, and it was a huge one!
Gavin did not miss the panic at the bottom of Wendy's eyes. "Really?"
"It is my business if there is anything wrong." Now that it had developed like this, Wendy could only comfort herself to take one step at a time. She put a small piece of steak into her mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and said to Gavin, "Just eat. Don't you need to go back to work?"
Gavin looked at Wendy suspiciously, and finally said nothing. He placed the knife on the steak, cut off a small piece and ate it.
If there was something wrong with Wendy, he had plenty of ways to know it if he wanted to know.
Therefore, he would let her keep this secret for the time being if she didn't want to tell him.
However, there was another thing that he had to ask Wendy, "Your mother, why did she suddenly arrange a date with you and Connell? Is Auntie Su very familiar with the Qin family?"
Wendy was so guilty that she didn't dare to look at Gavin. She didn't dare to say that, it was because she denied the fact that she liked Gavin, Dolly suddenly arranged her to have a date with Connell.
After thinking about it, Wendy avoided the important part and answered lightly, "My mother said that she and Connell's mother had been old friends for many years. They know each other well, and hope that Connell and I can be more familiar with each other."
Gavin smiled ambiguously. "I see."
It seemed that he misunderstood it.
From Dolly's attitude toward him, he thought that Dolly had a good impression of him.
But in the end, he couldn't get through Dolly.
Gavin recalled that Dolly had asked someone to look into his information. If Gavin guessed correctly, Dolly must have found out that he was an orphan.
"That's right. Who could be assured to let their daughter be with an orphan with unknown origin?"
Wendy always felt that Gavin's tone and expression were strange. She asked with uncertainty, "What do you know?"
Right at this moment, the waiter served a bottle of white wine. Gavin poured Wendy a small half cup and said, "Nothing, let's eat."
After dinner, Gavin asked if he should send Wendy back.
Wendy thought for a moment and replied, "I may have to go to my mother's place. You can go back to the company. I'll take a taxi."
It was daytime, so Gavin had nothing to worry about. He nodded, stopped a taxi, signal Wendy to get in, and watched the car drive away. Then he turned around to pick up his car, and went back to the company.
In the taxi that was galloping forward, Wendy held her mobile phone and waited for a while. As expected, the phone rang.
"I'm at XX Caf on the Ganges Road," Dolly said. "It's not far from the western restaurant where you and Gavin had lunch."
Wendy looked up and saw the cafe that Dolly had mentioned. She paid the fare and got out of the taxi. As soon as she entered the cafe, she saw Dolly sitting in a seat near the window, with a cup of coffee in front of her. It was steaming hot.
She sat down and said, "Mom."
"Fortunately, I saw it." Dolly looked at Wendy unhappily. "If Connell's mother sees it, how can I explain it to her and how should I contact the Qin Family in the future?!"
Wendy really didn't think of these. She lowered her head and apologized in a really low voice, "Mom, I'm sorry."
"Well, it's useless to apologize to me." Dolly looked at Wendy and said, "Wendy, be honest with me and tell me if you and Gavin have already been together? How far have you gone?"
Wendy raised her head and blinked twice. Disappointment filled her eyes and she said, "Gavin and I are not together, and we haven't developed..."
Dolly was experienced and definitely knew how disappointed and frustrated Wendy was at the moment. She asked, "Do you still deny that you like Gavin?"
"..."
"..."
After a long silence, Wendy said slowly, "I used to know nothing about favor. I studied medicine. Humans have no gender difference in my eyes. Some things which were disgraceful for other girls, as long as those are involved with medical knowledge, I can chat with the male students as usual. I don't think there is anything unnatural or shy, because in my eyes, men and women are all the same."
Dolly didn't quite understand. "Why are you telling me this? At first, I didn't approve of you learning medicine."
Wendy continued to say, "But Gavin is different. In my eyes, he is a man who is extraordinary, good-looking and attractive."
"..."
"He can make me feel embarrassed, make me blush, and let me know what it means to be excited." After a pause, Wendy went on to say, "Mom, for me, he is a person who is different from everyone else in the world."
There was a hint of sadness in Dolly's eyes, which was fleeting. "Why don't you admit that you like him?"
"I have never been willing to admit it, because I don't believe that I will like Gavin." Wendy shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "But after the date with Connell, I suddenly understood that even if I didn't admit that I liked Gavin, I can't make myself fall in love with others. I can't deceive myself."
In the end, Wendy said in a resigned tone which sounded like she had accepted her fate, "So, I admit that I like Gavin."
