Seeing Connell approaching her step by step, Wendy was at a loss. She could only tightly grasp the medicine behind her.

Connell usually looked gentle and warm, but at the moment, he didn't hesitate at all. He took Wendy's hand and grabbed the medicine bottle in an instant.

It was really Stilnox-a kind of medication which could kill one's life if overdosed.

Connell looked at Wendy incredulously. "Why are you taking it?"

It was said that insomnia was common among modern people. Almost everyone in the world had to go through insomnia once or twice.

However, Connell couldn't associate insomnia with Wendy.

She had a job that she loved, and there was no pressure in her life. She smiled all day like she wouldn't be worried about anything in the world...

How could she lose sleep?

In fact, Wendy didn't know why she became dependent on it either.

She only knew that the minute she stopped working, she would think of Gavin and then lose sleep all night.

Perhaps it was because she was sad, or in other words... desperate.

Yes, she was carefree.

But she did not have any hope.

Connell understood what she was thinking just by looking at the disappointed expression on Wendy's face. "It's because of Gavin, right?"

"..."

Wendy didn't say anything. In fact, it was a silent approval.

Connell held Stilnox tightly in his hand and asked hysterically, "How much do you like him?"

Wendy lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, and then denied, "It's not affection-it's love."

"..."

Young Master Wesley had seen a lot of things in his life. But at this moment, when he heard Wendy's low but firm voice, he still felt shocked.

There was a huge difference between affection and love.

It was said that the former meant "I want to get close to him", while the latter meant "I can't leave him".

Connell put down the bottle solemnly. "Do you think you can stay away from Gavin?"

Wendy didn't hesitate at all. She instantly shook her head and said, "He just said that he was going to find a girlfriend, and I am already so sad. I don't know what will happen to me when I have to leave him..."

"Damn it... it's true love."

Connell sighed deeply in his heart and tried to wake Wendy up. "What about your postgraduate entrance exam? What are you going to do?"

Wendy raised her head, and her almond-shaped eyes were as red as a rabbit's. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Not wanting to leave is different from having to leave."

She couldn't leave Gavin.

However, if he really found a girlfriend whom he decided to marry, Wendy was afraid that she would break down.

Once she collapsed in front of Gavin, they would have to spend the rest of their lives in embarrassment.

Therefore, she had to leave.

Connell looked at Wendy with sympathy. "Poor girl."

"..." Wendy laughed. At the same time, tears came out of her eyes again, but the corners of her mouth stubbornly maintained an upper arc.

Connell couldn't help asking, "God, do you want to laugh or cry?"

Wendy covered her face with her hands. She couldn't help crying, but she laughed at the same time.

She herself didn't even know whether she should cry or laugh.

Connell made a "zut" sound and said, "I can guess what you're crying for. But, girl, why are you laughing?"

Wendy put down her hand and looked at Connell with tears in her eyes. "This is the first time I like someone, but it turns out that he is my brother. Don't you think it's hilarious?"

"... There is no funny point at all." Connell patted Wendy's head. "This is obviously a tragedy. How can it be funny?"

Was it a tragedy?

Wendy knew that it was a complete tragedy.

However, just as the way ordinary people didn't want to admit that they were ridiculous, she didn't want to acknowledge that such a tragedy had happened to her. She could only urge herself to say that it was a joke.

But today, Connell clearly and frankly told her that it was a tragedy.

Wendy was stunned as if her soul had been hit. She couldn't say anything and couldn't control her tears from coming out.

Connell always felt annoyed when the girls cried, but in the face of Wendys tears, he couldnt be angry and even felt helpless.

"All right, all right. No matter how many tears you shed, the tragedy won't turn into a comedy." Connell awkwardly wiped away Wendy's tears. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea. "The hairy crabs are in the market. Do you want to have a try? I'll ask someone to send some over!"

Wendy looked at Connell speechlessly. "... Do I look like I have an appetite now?"

Connell said without hesitation, "Yes!"

Young Master Wesley had never been sentimental in his life. In his mind, nothing would destroy one's appetite.

Wendy didn't know what to say. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "In addition to crabs, I also want to eat crayfish!"

In less than 40 minutes, the delicious crabs and spicy crayfish arrived. Connell searched Wendy's apartment but couldn't find what he wanted. He had to ask, "There isn't any wine in your house?"

"No." Wendy pointed outside. "There's a convenience store downstairs. There are all kinds of wine there. I want to drink too!"

Connell bought twelve cans of beer, picked up some snacks, and carried them upstairs.

Wendy was unhappy, so was Connell. The two of them ate and drank unscrupulously. In the end, they were full and drunk.

Since the night Gavin's background was revealed, it was the first time that Wendy had fallen asleep without sleeping pills-she drank six or seven cans of beer and was completely drunk.

However, at the time, Gavin was the one who suffered from insomnia.

After returning to the apartment, a strong sense of unease enveloped Gavin.

If his guess was right-Wendy really liked him...

That was to say, for the past few months, Wendy had been acting and had successfully deceived all of them.

He suddenly remembered the morning when he had accompanied Wendy to work on her first night shift. She had asked him why he cared about her and why he accompanied her to work on the night shift.

At that time, Wendy seemed to be ready to risk everything to expose her feelings, and he, on the other side, also didn't intend to hide his feelings anymore.

However, just as he was about to confess his love, Dolly suddenly told him that Wendy was his sister. More than that, he had also inherited an extremely rare genetic disease from his father that could kill him at any time.

His father was an orphan, and then he became an orphan too.

His bloodline seemed to have been cursed.

In that case, he was most worried about Wendy instead of his illness.

What if the little girl really fell in love with him? What should he do?

"Should I find a way to make her get rid of this feeling? Or should I ignore how wrong it is and stay with her for the sake of love?"

Before he could come up with an answer, Wendy already told him that everything was just a joke. Later, she started dating Connell.

He once felt lucky that he was the only one in pain in this relationship that shouldn't have happened. Wendy could have a normal lover and a normal life.

However, it was not until today that he realized that Wendy might just be acting.

She might have known his background for a long time. In order to reassure them, she pretended to date Connell.

Therefore, even if she "quarreled with" Connell, she might not be sad. On the contrary, when she heard that Gavin was going to get married, she seemed to be out of her mind.

Gavin buried his face in his palm and suddenly felt a deep pain in his heart.

If Wendy had known his background for a long time, he couldn't imagine how much Wendy had to bear for the past few days.

They all thought that Wendy would suffer from an unprecedented attack on the day Dolly announced his background.

However, when that day came, Wendy just ran out and then accepted the fact.

It seemed that it was not because her endurance was stronger than ordinary people, but because she had silently digested the facts.

The next day, Gavin left the apartment early. The driver was a little surprised. "Special Assistant Gavin, why do you want to go to the company so early today?"

"No," Gavin said, "to Wendy's apartment."

It was not yet the rush hour, and the two apartments were not far from each other. So it didn't take long for the car to reach Wendy's apartment.

The driver thought that Gavin would go up, but Gavin didn't even show any sign of getting out of the car. He just rolled down the window and looked at the door of the apartment from a distance.

The situation was a little weird, and the driver did not dare to say anything more.

Gavin didn't know why he came. He asked the driver for a cigarette and a lighter. Before he could light the fire, he saw a familiar figure pushing open the gate of the apartment.

The driver also saw it and cried out, "Isn't that the young master of the Qin family! I have heard that he is in love with Miss Moore. It turns out to be true!"

Gavin exerted some strength to his hand, and the cigarette butt was suddenly pressed in his hand.

Since Connell didn't live here, he could only come out of Wendy's apartment.

"Did Connell spend the night at Wendy's apartment last night?"

The driver didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that the air in the car suddenly became colder. He asked uncertainly, "Special Assistant Gavin, now... where are we going?"

Every word Gavin spat out was covered with a thick layer of ice. "To the company."

No matter what kind of feelings Wendy had for him, it was a fact that she was dating Connell now. They had even fulfilled the last step.

Perhaps, he was overthinking.

As soon as Gavin's car drove away, Wendy got up from the bed.

The alcohol made her fall asleep smoothly, but it also brought side effects-she felt as if she was walking with a sandbag. Her head was heavy, and her feet were light, which made her want to lie down.

In order to wake herself up, Wendy walked to the balcony of the living room and blew on it.

In the haze, she saw a white car, which looked like Gavin's.

She took a closer look and found that the car had already driven away. It was too far away for her to recognize the car plate number.

After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

She was really crazily obsessed with Gavin.

"It's so early. How could Gavin be here?"

Although his car was a limited edition, since it was Arlington, there were many people other than Gavin who owned the type of car.

She might as well look for Connell instead of Gavin.

The strange thing was that she couldn't find any trace of Connell after searching the whole room. Instead, she saw a note laid under a beer can on the tea table.

"There's a regular meeting in the company today. I'll go first. You don't have to worry about the cleaning of the house. I'll arrange for a cleaner to come to the house and do the cleaning for you.

Above all, good morning: )"

Looking at the last smile on the note, Wendy couldn't help laughing.

The whole living room was full of the remains of crabs and crayfish, the blanket that Connell had used on the sofa was curled into a ball, and the empty beer cans were scattered all over the floor...

Even if she had time to clean it up, she didn't know where to start.

"Forget it. Just leave it to the cleaner. I'll go to work."
