Gavin wasn't prepared for the fact at all.

When he was a child, he had asked the director why he didn't have a father or a mother.

The director had touched his head with a smile. "Child, God wants you to live a life different from others."

He was aware that he would have a unique life experience.

As he grew older, he realized that the children in the orphanage, himself included, had been abandoned.

Children were abandoned for different reasons. Some of them were orphans; while others could have lived with their parents-they were pitiful.

Gavin didn't know why he was abandoned.

Therefore, he had never tried to look for them, although he knew that he had the right to know who his parents were.

He thought that his parents wouldn't need him when he was an adult since they had abandoned him a few months after he was born when he was only a baby of five kilograms.

Gavin thought that he had no family. He didn't think he would call them father or mother even if he saw them one day.

Gavin had never expected that he and Wendy had the same mother, which was like a big joke to him.

"Oh, what the hell is this?" he thought to himself.

Gavin knew that he would finally lose control of his emotions and it was likely that he would destroy the restaurant at any time.

Dolly had been staring at Gavin. She noticed that his chest was heaving faster and faster. After a while, she did the same as soon as he suddenly stood up.

For the first time, Gavin shouted with a fierce look, "Stay away from me!"

"Gavin!" Dolly grabbed his hand. "I haven't finished yet. You must sit down and listen to the whole story."

Gavin gave her a cold smile. "I'm not interested in why you abandoned me at all. Please let me go."

Gavin managed to stay sane. Otherwise, he might have broken free from Dolly rudely.

"Gavin, I did abandon you. I don't mind you hating or blaming me, and I won't ask for forgiveness!" Dolly said earnestly with bloodshot eyes, "I'm going to tell you about something else. Just hear me out, please."

"I'm not interested in it," Gavin said in a cold voice. He broke free from Dolly and walked straight towards the entrance.

"Gavin!" Dolly shouted at the top of her voice, "Have you ever felt dizzy recently? Have you ever felt that you were unconscious in your sleep after you woke up?"

Gavin suddenly stopped there as if he had been hit by something.

How come Dolly knew about his symptoms?

"Gavin, come here." Dolly said, "It's about your life. You have to know the whole story even if you don't want to see me."

Gavin slowly turned around and walked over to Dolly. "Do you know what's going on with me?"

Only then did Dolly realize that Gavin had grown up.

He was only a baby who was dozens of centimeters tall when he was placed on the roadside, but now he was much taller than her. He had become a tall, stately, and charming man like his father.

Dolly felt as if she had been pierced to the heart. She nodded, "Yes. That's why I'm eager to tell you the truth."

It filled Gavin with foreboding. He frowned and asked, "What happened to me?"

Dolly sat down. She looked rather tired. "I'll tell you the whole story."

It had been more than 20 years and it was like a scar in her heart. She had never told anyone about it.

She opened up her old wound once she began to tell him what happened 20 years ago.

However, she would accept the suffering for Gavin.

Dolly was a young girl 20 years ago. She went to the United States one month in advance to adapt herself to the new environment after receiving an offer to study as a graduate student at a famous university there.

She had been idling around that month, during which she met a boy named Winfred Hunter in a bar.

Unlike other students studying abroad who always went to kill time in the bar, Winfred worked part-time there. Her friend said that Winfred was well-known for his academic success, and the handsome boy was popular with girls. There had always been Chinese girls claiming that they were from the same Americas him so as to chat with him.

Despite all that, Winfred remained single.

"Why?" Dolly was very curious about that. She wondered why a man chose to remain single at his young age when he was loved by all kinds of young girls.

"Well, it's a sad story." Her friend told Dolly, "Winfred is an orphan. He has to get a scholarship and work part-time to cover his tuition and living expenses, so he doesn't have time for a relationship at all."

Dolly turned her head and looked at Winfred. He was making cocktails for his guests. He was dexterous, and his movements were graceful and deliberate.

Winfred was living a hard life. However, he had paid attention to his image.

His clothes were clean and tidy, although they were not famous or expensive. The simple and elegant clothes matched his innate temperament well due to his well-built body.

Dolly was attracted to Winfred. Later on, she decided to talk to him.

The best way to converse with him was to order a drink at the bar since Winfred was a part-time bartender. Dolly pointed to the menu after a glance and said, "I'll get a Long Island Iced Tea."

Winfred glanced at Dolly and shook his head. "You'd better not drink that."

"Why?" Dolly asked as she rested her chin on her hand.

"It's not safe for you to drink it," Winfred said while wiping a glass with a towel. "Others will take advantage of you."

Dolly said, "Oh, so you're worried about me, aren't you?"

Winfred got her point, but he ignored it. He simply said with a smile, "Would you like a glass of fresh fruit juice."

"All right. But I have one condition." Dolly pointed to the spotless glass in Winfred's hand. "I prefer this glass."

Dolly finally knew his phone number and Facebook account after the glass of fresh fruit juice made by Winfred. She also managed to get his work schedule by bribing the bar manager.

Dolly would go to the bar whenever Winfred was working there. She thought that she would get bored if she saw him frequently.

However, she was wrong.

Winfred always looked calm and deliberate, from which she could tell that he had experienced a lot. The more she looked at him, the more fascinated she was as if time had stopped.

There had always been hot girls in the bar. However, Winfred simply gave a smile no matter who winked at him. It seemed that he wasn't interested in those sexy girls at all, let alone flirting with them.

Dolly fell in love with Winfred, the man who could stay calm and maintain grace in adversity.

Dolly was a confident and proud young girl who had always been in the public gaze among those Chinese students who studied in New York. In addition, many corporate successors racked their brains only to please her because the Scott Group under Steven's control was flourishing back then.

However, Dolly began to pursue Winfred.

Aside from his work schedule, she also got Winfred's class schedule. She would sit at the bar counter watching him when he worked there, and she would run into him on campus as if by accident when he went to classes.

Winfred had gently told her that he wasn't able to take good care of her, nor could he give her a good life in the years to come.

Dolly was even smarter than Wendy. She gazed at Winfred and said, "You want to take care of me and to give me a good life, don't you? Oh, Winfred, you must adore me!"

Winfred couldn't do anything with Dolly. He smiled as he walked on the tree-lined campus road with books under his arms.

Dolly caught up with him and asked, "When did you fall in love with me?"

Winfred gave her a smile. He simply gazed at Dolly with a helpless look while wondering why she was so bold.

A few days after that, a group of hooligans surrounded Dolly and forced her to drink alcohol.

Dolly wouldn't drink. She had no choice but to call Winfred over.

Winfred tried to help her out. However, one of the unruly hooligans even began to feel Dolly up.

The refined Winfred beat those hooligans surrounding Dolly up one by one like a furious lion. He got injured and lost his job in the bar as a result.

Dolly took Winfred to the hospital to dress his wound and neither of them uttered a word.

"Don't go to that bar again," Winfred said while gazing at Dolly when they left the hospital. After a pause, he added, "You'd better never go to any bars in the future. The bars here are more terrible than those in China."

"They surrounded me today because I said that I have no boyfriend." Dolly gazed at Winfred with sincerity. "How about being my boyfriend? They won't bother me if I have a boyfriend."

"..." Winfred was silent for a long time.

Dolly said hopefully, "Well, I'm counting to ten. I'll take it as a yes if you don't refuse me!"

"..."

"One, two," Dolly began to count, "three, ten!"

Winfred hadn't expected that Dolly would play a trick on him. He widened his eyes and said, "You..."

Dolly stood on her tiptoes to hug his neck and kissed him before Winfred could say anything more.
