Wendy just smiled, took the receipt, and pulled Gavin into the store to find a table.

Coincidentally, there was a table of two in the corner that just got vacant.

"Are you hungry?" Wendy sat down, put the ticket under the box which contained chopsticks, and said, "It's time for dinner. We may have to wait for a while."

"I'm fine. I'm not hungry." Gavin glanced at Wendy and suddenly asked, "How is it going between you and Connell?"

Wendy was stunned.

She had been unable to adjust her condition well. After the phone call with Connell last time, they hadnt contacted each other.

In other words, they had never seen each other since the quarrel caused by Connell in the bar.

Although they had talked the whole thing through in private,

However, in other people's eyes, she was so angry that she hadn't dated Connell for a long time, wasn't she?

Alas, this was all too complicated!

Wendy didn't want to think about it, so she simply said, What happened between Connell and me is none of your business."

"I didn't intend to leave it alone." Gavin calmly ignored Wendy's protest. "You haven't contacted each other since the last time we were at the bar?"

Wendy scratched the receipt with her nails and said perfunctorily, "I've contacted him."

Gavin asked, "Have you met him?"

"Are you an aunt?" Wendy looked at Gavin reluctantly. "Why do you care so much about Connell and me?"

"You don't seem to care about it at all." Gavin continued to ask. "Aren't you going to forgive him?"

At this time, the waitress just brought two bowls of braised beef noodles and gave them a plate of stir-fried green melon for free.

With a snap, Wendy put a pair of disposable chopsticks in front of Gavin and said, "Eat your noodles! It's none of your business how Connell and I get along!" Then, she suddenly remembered something and stared at Gavin. "Speaking of which, you're the one who is acting strangely. How long have you been single?"

"I've been too busy these days, so I don't have the time to think about it," Gavin said, "but after Aiden and Romy are one month old, I should have time to find a girlfriend. Wait, I'll get you a sister-in-law later."

Sister-in-law?

"Gavin has decided to stop playing in the world? Does he want to date a girl and get married?"

Wendy's heart suddenly sank as if she had suffered a heavy blow.

Gavin didn't miss the trace of disappointment in Wendy's eyes. His heart skipped a beat. After observing Wendy's face more carefully, he found that she didn't mock him like before. Her little face darkened as if she had heard the news about the end of the world.

At this moment, there were only two words in Gavin's mind-"Not good."

Wendy also realized that her reaction was too slow. She threw a mocking look at Gavin and said, "You want to marry a decent girl, seriously?"

"As long as I want, it's only a matter of seconds." Gavin emphasized word by word with a smile. "If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

Wendy had to admit that Gavin was right.

Not to mention his wealth and ability, just that handsome and extraordinary face alone was enough to make a girl fall in love with him deeply.

This time, Gavin might be serious.

Wendy was stunned for a moment and quickly hid the bitterness in her heart. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Just wait and see! I don't believe that you can find a girl to marry so soon!"

Gavin didn't quarrel with Wendy, which was really rare. Instead, he shook his head with a smile and said, "It's hard to say."

He lowered his head and ate his noodles slowly. There was still a relaxed smile by his lips.

Wendy couldn't help wondering if he had already found a proper girl to marry?

If so, with his wisdom and condition, how could a girl not be subdued by him?

Wendy felt sour in her heart. She suddenly lost the appetite to taste the noodles, but Gavin was right in front of her. So she couldn't show any unhappiness and could only swallow the noodles bit by bit.

Gavin didn't seem to notice Wendy's abnormality at all. After tasting a few mouthfuls of noodles, he couldn't help but nod. "The noodles are very good. How did you find this shop?"

"My apartment is next to it. And I have to walk by the store every time I take the bus and the subway," Wendy said absent-mindedly, "It's hard to ignore it."

After the meal, the two of them left the little shop.

It was completely dark. The lights lit up the streets of the city in place of the sunshine. The lights stretched Gavin's and Wendy's figures, but it couldn't overlap them.

The relationship between a brother and a sister was two parallel lines.

They could move forward side by side, but they would never hug each other passionately as lovers.

The bitter and painful feeling came back to Wendy's heart again, which corroded her heart and made it twitch and hurt.

"Do you want to go anywhere else?" Gavin asked, "If you don't want to, I'll walk you home."

Wendy was afraid that she would lose control, so she shook her head and agreed to go back to the apartment with Gavin.

"I'll stop here. You can go upstairs on your own." Gavin stopped and said, "I'll go back home first."

"..."

Wendy didn't want Gavin to leave like this, but what excuse could she find to ask him to stay?

Even if she found an excuse to keep him here, what could she do?

The most intimate relationship between them could only stop at siblings-this relationship was enough to keep them a distance from each other for the whole life.

Wendy warned herself to give up and then nodded to Gavin. "Okay, I'll go up. Be careful on the way back."

Seeing Wendy enter the gate of the apartment, Gavin also turned to get in the car. He made up his mind and ordered the driver to drive.

Wendy pressed the button of the elevator and looked out. Gavin's car had already turned around and slowly went away.

At that moment, the elevator door opened slowly with a slight sound. Almost at the same time, Gavin's car disappeared from Wendy's sight.

Suddenly, as if something very important had been taken away, Wendy felt a spasm in her heart.

There was a voice in her heart shouting, "No!"

"Miss, do you want to come in?" The person who entered the elevator looked at Wendy in confusion.

Wendy didn't answer. She turned around and ran out of the gate.

She didn't want Gavin to leave, and she didn't want him to marry anyone else.

She liked Gavin, so she couldn't bear watching him with another woman.

She didn't want to act anymore, and she didn't want to bear this feeling alone. She wanted to tell Gavin all of it.

However, when she chased out of the apartment, Gavin's car had already disappeared.

Looking at the empty lane, Wendy suddenly felt helpless, which she had never felt before.

She loved Gavin so much. Why didn't fate give her a chance? Even if Gavin refused, she would accept the result.

She did not want her and Gavin to be siblings. She only wished that there was no blood relationship between them!

Wendy finally couldn't suppress her feelings any longer. She squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

If it was because she had lived a very smooth life in the past 20 years that fate had to joke with her like this, then she would rather her following life be full of setbacks.

She only wanted to be given a chance to be with Gavin.

As long as this opportunity was given to her, she would no longer hold any other desires in her life.

However, the cold facts clearly told Wendy that all her hopes related to Gavin were extravagant.

"Don't cry." A familiar voice came from above her head. "Get up."

Wendy was stunned. She looked up and saw a young and handsome face-

It was Connell.

Connell took out a bag of tissue he had just got from the car, took out a piece, and wiped the tears on Wendy's face.

He had just arrived. When he saw Wendy and Gavin coming back from the noodle shop, he was thinking about whether he should leave quietly. Suddenly, Gavin and Wendy parted. One went back to the apartment alone, and the other got in the car and left without hesitation.

He had an intuition that Wendy would lose control. As expected, he saw Wendy rushing out soon, but Gavin's car had already left. She could only squat there and burst into tears in despair.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Connell couldn't imagine that such a happy girl could cry like this.

If Gavin knew, would he be willing to let Wendy be so sad?

"Don't be sad." Connell gave Wendy a clean tissue. "You and Gavin, you..."

"Why are we siblings?" Wendy looked at Connell helplessly and desperately like an innocent injured animal. "There are so many orphans in this world, but why is he my brother? Why not others? Why?"

These questions might have tortured Wendy for a long time, which she had asked herself countless times.

However, she did not know the answer, and no one could tell her the answer.

So at this moment, she burst out completely.

She didn't really want the answer. She just wanted to let others know how sad she was.

She didn't want to suffer that kind of pain alone.

What Wendy didn't know was that she had actually asked the right person. Connell had answers to all these questions.

However, Qin Lin had specially warned him not to tell Wendy the truth.

Connell could only hold Wendy in his arms with care. "There, there. Don't cry."

"Will she be able to go through these pains?"

Why did she feel that she could never overcome them?

Wendy sobbed, turned her head, and buried her face in Connell's arms. Her continuous tears soon wet Connell's clothes on the chest.

There were people coming and going in and out of the apartment building, and there were people looking at them constantly. Connell said with difficulty, "If you still want to cry, let's go back first, and then you can continue to cry, okay?"

Wendy also noticed the passers-by's gaze. She wiped her tears, lowered her head and said, "You can go back home."

Connell sighed and said, "Sweetie, how can I go back when you are like this? Forget it. Let's go upstairs. It's such a shame."

Wendy had to take Connell upstairs.

It was the first time for Connell to come to Wendy's apartment. It was not very big, but it was decorated in a soft and cozy way by the little girl, which was somewhat home-like.

Connell looked around leisurely. When he was about to praise Wendy, he noticed a medicine bottle on the table.

Wendy then noticed his sight. She rushed over and grabbed the medicine bottle. While she was thinking about how to hide it, Connell's voice came.

"There's no need to hide anymore. I've already seen it. I know that kind of medicine."

Wendy subconsciously denied, "It's not for me."

Connell came over and said, "If it's not for you, why are you so nervous?"
