"..."

The romance between Wendy and Connell was as fast as a tornado. Everyone in the room was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Joanne felt that if she did not say anything to break the silence, the atmosphere would be awkward.

She coughed and said, "Wendy, you and Connell... When did you start?"

Wendy pursed her lips, with a hint of shyness in her eyes. "More than a week ago!"

"Why did you suddenly want to date Connell?"

Joanne was really confused.

Although she had never contacted Connell, she had more or less heard of the young master's way of doing things.

She always thought that Connell could be Wendy's good friend or good partner, but he would definitely never be her lover.

They might be a perfect match, only in terms of the appearance instead of their personalities.

Wendy smiled with satisfaction. "Connell seems to be really childish. He's not as mature and steady as my cousin-in-law or cousin, and he is not as attractive as Gavin, either. However, I like to stay with him!"

After a pause, she added with a sweet smile, "Because he knows me! I'm very happy to be with him!"

She said it so seriously, and the happiness and satisfaction revealed in her look did not seem to be a disguise at all. It seemed that she was really happy when she was with Connell.

In this way, Joanne had nothing to say. She could only nod and said, "Your happiness is the most important thing!"

"Yeah!" Wendy nodded vigorously, "Cousin, don't worry!"

"Wendy, I wonder who was the first to confess its love." Freya began to dig out the details.

"Well..." Wendy pursed her lips and looked very embarrassed. After a while, she said, "In fact, no one confessed to the other. We had a good feeling for each other from the beginning. Besides, we have been in contact with each other these days, and we found that we really could have a lot to talk about. Naturally... We decided to develop a love relationship!"

Freya seemed to be able to understand it very well. She rested her chin on her hand with a smile and looked at Wendy. "After you stayed with Connell, do you have any thoughts about that?"

Wendy was confused. "Should I have any thoughts after staying with him?"

"Of course!" Freya said with absolute certainty, "For example, after I established the relationship with your cousin, I always thought that he was really lucky. I was so happy then!"

Wendy couldn't help laughing. "Well, in that case, I am also very happy!"

Apart from Brian and Chris who were not interested in gossip, only Dolly and Gavin remained silent from beginning to end.

Dolly was in a complicated mood.

Back then, she had been trying her best to make Wendy know Connell, and she even wanted to make them be a couple.

Now, Wendy was in love with Connell. Looking at Gavin, she was not as happy as she imagined.

Dolly could not help wondering if it was right or wrong for her to hide that thing from Wendy and Gavin.

Gavin was silent because he did not want to talk.

He didn't speak because he was afraid that he would reveal himself.

He forgot when he had seen a question on the Internet,"What if you secretly like someone and are afraid to expose yourself to him?"

There was an answer below:

"Don't be afraid.

"Because he must have long discovered it.

"Unless you never get in touch with him.

"Otherwise, this fact that you love him could not be kept as a secret.

"The words and symbols you replied to him with, your averted gaze, your imitation of his favorite expression and speaking habits, and the look of joy in your eyes...

"All of them will reveal to him the secret that you love him."

It hadn't been a long time since Wendy announced that she was in love with Connell. If he was found to love Wendy now, wasn't he making a mess?

Therefore, it would be better to keep silent and quietly enjoy her shy and timid smile, which was also very pleasant and satisfactory.

Even though, her smile was not because of him.

"Auntie." Freya called Dolly. "Why are you silent?"

Dolly seemed to have just recovered from the shock. She smiled and said, "This is the first time Wendy fell in love with someone. I really can't respond..."

Freya stared at Wendy in surprise. "You're over 20 years old, but you haven't been in love yet?!"

Wendy,"..."

She hadn't met anyone she liked before. Besides, Dolly was strict with her, so she hadn't fallen in love with anyone. "Is it very strange?"

Seeing the innocent look on Wendy's face, Joanne couldn't help replying for her. "Freya, you fell in love at the age of 24, OK? How confident you are to ask Wendy that!"

...

Freya seemed to be struck by lighting and suddenly became frustrated.

"Yes!" Wendy just reacted and stared at Freya with her eyes wide open. "Cousin-in-law, although you knew my cousin in your teens, you didn't establish the relationship until you were 24 years old! You didn't do it earlier than me. How did you ask me about that?!"

In terms of the situation and the fact, Freya had no advantage.

But she was Freya, and she would never allow herself to lose!

Thinking of that, Freya calmly said, "Although I fell in love late, I will be in love for a longer time than you!"

"Cousin-in-law..." Wendy felt so upset that she didn't know what to say. "What... What do you mean?"

"Oh, I'm not saying that you won't be with Connell forever." Freya emphasized, "I mean, your cousin and I will be dating for the rest of my life!"

Freya was so confident that others did not dare to doubt her at all, but they could not imagine how she and Chris would be dating for the rest of their lives, for she had married him.

Freya raised her chin at Chris. "Honey, do you agree?"

Originally, Brian and Chris had a tacit understanding of the "war" between women-they would always stand by and never take the initiative to participate in it.

However, Chris was really not immune to Freya's "honey". As soon as he heard it, a soulful smile appeared on his lips. "I'll agree with whatever you say."

Others automatically shielded themselves from their display of affection, and Wendy was the only one who seemed to be thoughtful.

After a while, Wendy asked seriously, "Don't you want to have children if you will be dating for the rest of your lives?"

Chris,"..."

Freya,"..."

Everyone,"..."

In the end, Freya said with a poker face, "Freya, in our eyes, you are just a kid, just like Aiden and Romy. So, don't talk about the kind of issue that only adults need to care about!"

Wendy did not seem to understand her fully. "Oh..."

Joanne finally couldn't stand it and fell into Brian's arms with a burst of laughter.

Wendy was really simple, but she studied medical science.

However, she was going to graduate from college, but she didn't become so learned in that kind of thing because of studying medical science.

Perhaps, it was because of the growing environment that led to her completely different thoughts from others.

At this dinner, some people hid their secrets, some hid their disappointment, and the others felt confused.

But at least on the surface, the family was very happy to have a good meal together.

After dinner, Dolly asked Wendy to go to the garden outside.

Wendy had already guessed what Dolly would say to her, but she looked relaxed, like a candidate who was very confident in the test.

As expected, Dolly's first question was,"Wendy, do you really like Connell?"

Wendy nodded without hesitation. "If I don't like him, why would I stay with him? Mom, you know me. I've always been far away from those I don't like!"

"Then what do you like about Connell?" Dolly first removed Wendy's possible reply. "Don't tell me that you don't need a reason to like someone. You must be attracted by something belonging to that one, and then you'll possibly love him."

Wendy blinked her eyes and said, "Of course there are reasons! First, Connell is very interesting, and he knows all the interesting and delicious things in Arlington. Second, Connell is meticulous. He can take care of everyone in detail. Third, and most importantly, Connell is handsome!"

Dolly laughed. "Wendy, you are not answering your teacher's question. The reasons don't need to be so logical." The words had the implied meaning.

Wendy looked confused and said, "Mom, I'm a medical student. I'm used to this kind of reasonable and logical way of thinking."

This explanation was perfect and unassailable.

Dolly nodded and said, "Connell is a good boy. As long as you really like him, I won't stop you."

Wendy smiled and said, "Mom, there will be someone who takes care of me in Arlington in the future. You can rest assured to go back to Australia and accompany Dad!"

"..." Dolly was stunned for a moment, without knowing what to say.

Wendy pretended not to notice Dolly's daze and continued to say, "You came back to Arlington just to attend my cousin's wedding. But now, my cousin's child is almost a month old. If you don't go back, Dad will miss you."

Dolly was just thinking that Gavin was right. If she did not go back now, Wendy would be suspicious.

Dolly had no choice but to change the topic. "If I go back, won't you miss me?"

"Well, of course I will!" Wendy said with a smile, "But we can have a video call. If I have a vacation, I can go back to Australia to see you and Dad!"

"I haven't been here for more than 20 years." Dolly said, "I didn't feel anything when I was still in Australia. Now I'm back, and I want to see many of my friends and visit many places. So I won't go back before the banquet for one-month-old Aiden and Romy."

Wendy said coquettishly, "Then you can stay with me for a few more days!"

Dolly touched Wendy's soft hair and went back to the house with her with a smile.

In the house, Chris and Freya were ready to leave, and Joanne also urged Iris to go back to rest.

Seeing Dolly coming in, Iris stopped her and said, "Yunjin, you're on my way home. Get in my car, and I'll ask the driver to send you back."

In this way, only Wendy was left.

Gavin automatically accepted the task and said, "I'll drive Wendy back."

Wendy said casually, "Okay, we're so familiar and I won't thank you!"

Gavin looked indifferent and picked up the car key. "Let's go."

Wendy said goodbye to the elders, then picked up her bag and bounced out after Gavin.
