It was not affection, it was love.

It was love...

Gavin didn't know how he left the bar. On the way back, he had a terrible headache.

If the twisted fate was a joke sent by God as a gift to him, then what about Wendy's feelings for him?

A bigger joke?

He didn't understand why Wendy couldn't fall in love with a good man and have a smooth life now that he was couldn't.

It was enough to tease him. Why did destiny make Wendy fall in love with him?

When thinking about the whole life from the moment he could remember it until now, Gavin suddenly found that as long as it was what he wanted, not only could he never have it, but he would also implicate the people around him.

When he was a child, he wanted a complete home. But as soon as he was born, his father died. Dolly suffered from severe depression, and soon he became an orphan.

Now, he wanted to fall in love with Wendy like a normal person. However, the blood relationship was like a steel wall built between them, making them suffer.

He had never done anything evil in his life. Did he make any mistakes in his last life?

Back at the apartment building, the driver saw that Gavin was still holding his head and looked at him worriedly. "Special Assistant Gavin, are you all right?"

Gavin didn't speak. He just waved his hand and motioned for the driver to get out of the car.

The driver was still very worried. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to contact Mr. Brian?"

He was very clear about the relationship between Gavin and Brian.

He believed that once something happened to Gavin, it would be the right choice to contact Brian.

"No." Gavin suddenly raised his head and said seriously, "I'm fine. I just haven't slept well these days, so my head hurts a little. You can get off work. Don't tell Mr. Brian about what happened today."

The driver didn't connect it with Gavin's uncomfortable state. He thought that Gavin just wanted him to hide the fact that he had seen Connell. He nodded and got out of the car.

Gavin stayed in the car until his headache subsided. Then he opened the door and went back to his apartment.

The apartment was the same as before. All the furniture was neatly arranged, without a speck of dust. It was so tidy that it didn't seem homely at all. Instead, it looked more like a cold and rigid temporary dwelling place.

Gavin suddenly remembered Wendy's single apartment, which was much smaller than his.

He had been there several times. Each time, it was different from the last time. There were either a few more scented candles, or a few more bouquets of flowers, or a new cloth set on the sofa.

Every time, it looked warmer than the last time, and it would bring the people a greater sense of belongings.

He asked Wendy, "Are you going to transform this place?"

"When my cousin asked me to move in, the apartment's basic furnishings were already in place. I'm just responsible for extra decorations," Wendy said with a smile, "This is my home. I can do whatever I want to it!"

At that time, Gavin secretly thought that if he successfully made Wendy the mistress of his home someday, how would she reform this apartment?

In fact, Wendy could do whatever she wanted. Even if she wanted to have a swimming pool in the apartment, where she could hold a party, he would help her contact the construction team immediately. There would be no objection.

As long as Wendy stayed here to accompany him-to sleep with him and wake up with him, he would not get tired of repeating the routine for the rest of his life.

Such a small wish could not be realized.

Right now, perhaps...

As long as he went to find Wendy and told her that she was not the only one who had been tortured these days,

he and Wendy could be together immediately.

However, he couldn't be so selfish.

Not to mention that they were siblings, the customs of the society wouldn't allow them to be together.

However, considering his current physical condition, he couldn't convince himself to confess his love to Wendy.

More than 20 years ago, after his father's death, Dolly suffered from depression and relied on medicine to live until today. Was he willing to let Wendy experience that kind of pain?

Even if his illness could be cured, and Wendy didn't have to endure the pain of losing her beloved man, the fact that they were siblings couldn't be changed.

It was easy to imagine how many rumors and comments they would face after they got together.

He could give Wendy all his love, but he couldn't guarantee her happiness.

What's more, Wendy worked in the hospital. He couldn't imagine how much trouble the rumors would bring to her career in the future.

The worst result was leaving the world just like Winfred and letting Wendy face everything alone.

If it really went on like that, he would never forgive himself even if he went to hell.

No matter what, he shouldn't be selfish and take advantage of Wendy's feelings to coax her into being with him. It would not bring happiness for Wendy, but the biggest misfortune in her life.

He should let Wendy completely forget about him.

After making this decision, Gavin felt that all the pain in his head had been transferred to his heart, which hurt him a lot.

He went to the balcony, looked at the thousands of lights in his sight, and lit a cigarette.

At this moment, other than smoking and drinking, there was nothing else that could distract his attention.

Wendy, who lived in the same district as Gavin, didn't realize that her biggest secret had been exposed. She reviewed the books until 12 o'clock. The sleeping pills she had taken half an hour ago began to work. She was surrounded by impenetrable sleepiness and fell asleep soon after she fell on the bed.

At seven o'clock the next day, Wendy woke up on time. After washing up, she had some breakfast, got on the subway full of people, and went to the hospital.

She could have taken a taxi, but occasionally when she squeezed into the crowded commuting the subway, which was like a can of Shalim fish, it could wake her up and make her realize that there were still many things more important than love.

For example, existence.

There were so many people who could still live a good life without love. She couldn't ruin herself just because she couldn't be with Gavin.

This kind of encouragement was effective, and Wendy's life gradually returned to normal day after day.

When she thought that she had finally recovered and was about to stop taking sleeping pills, she was caught off guard and received a piece of news that could shatter her soul-

That morning, as usual, she came out of the elevator with her purse. She felt that there were many problems in life.

For example, what to eat at noon, and whether she should go to work by squeezing into the subway or taking a taxi?

"Beautiful!"

A familiar voice came without warning. Wendy subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. It was Connell.

She was stunned for a moment. "Why are you here?"

At this time, shouldn't Young Master Wesley be on his way to the company? Why would he show up here?

Connell leaned on a sports car worth million and said with a charming smile, "I'm here to pick you up."

Wendy walked over and was about to tease Connell when she heard him continue, "By the way, let me tell you a piece of news."

"...What news?" Wendy suddenly felt that the news was the main point. She suppressed her fast heartbeat and said, "Go ahead."

"You should be mentally prepared," Connell said, "this is not good news."

"..."

Connell hesitated for a while and finally said, "Gavin has a girlfriend."

He knew that this news would be a great blow to Wendy.

But this was the truth. Wendy would have to face it sooner or later. It would be better for her to know it now.

Wendy could understand every word Connell said. After those words were put together into a sentence, it was as if someone had hit her soul hard, and her heart suddenly sank...

It wasn't disappointment or frustration. It was just that... she felt as if her heart would never beat again.

At this moment, Wendy was standing in the center of the city, but she felt that she had been thrown into the desolate northern wilderness. The cold wind and cold rain came and surrounded her. And a monster opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow her...

It seemed that after a century's time, Wendy finally found her voice and asked with difficulty, "When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago," Connell said, "I confirmed it yesterday, and it is true."

Wendy said, "Oh." She tried to show that she didn't care, but her red eyes revealed her emotions.

"I'm telling you in advance so that you won't get shocked when you meet them by accident." After a pause, Connell asked, "How is it? Can you still go to work? Do you need me to help you ask for leave?"

"... No." Wendy closed her eyes heavily and forced back her tears. "If I don't go to work, I'll think more about it."

Connell agreed with Wendy's words this time.

No matter how terrible her love life was, Wendy was a professional doctor. After she went to work, it could distract her attention.

Connell opened the door and said, "Get in the car. I'll take you to the hospital."

"Thank you."

Wendy sat in the passenger's seat and fastened the seat belt bluntly. The pain in her heart was unbearable.

She was afraid that she would cry, so she had to close her eyes.

She warned herself, "Don't think about it, stop."

However, reason couldn't suppress her thoughts at all.

What kind of girl was Gavin's new girlfriend?

He had said that he wanted to settle down. Would this girl really be Gavin's last girlfriend and then become his wife?

The expensive and eye-catching sports car was moving forward with difficulty in the morning rush hour. While waiting for the green light, Connell glanced at Wendy and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Wendy shook her head. "If Gavin wants to get married, I won't be able to accept it."

Connell hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "What if he really loves that girl, and that girl really likes him?"

He thought that Wendy would say that she would be relieved then. Because if Gavin got married because of love, it would be a good girl who would take care of him in the future.

He thought that Wendy would at least maintain a rational mind.

However, Wendy's reaction was completely beyond his expectation-

"I know I should bless him." Wendy smiled bitterly. "But I don't think I can do it."

Connell, "..." Damn it!

Wendy couldn't do it because she really liked Gavin.

She wanted to be with Gavin, hug him, kiss him, be intimate with him, and stay with him for the rest of her life.

But now, the person who could do these things with Gavin had become another girl.

How could she offer her blessings with a sincere heart?

Connell couldn't help sighing. "You're really frank. But what can you do even if you don't bless them? Can you rob him away from the wedding when he gets married?"
