Did being threatened by her mean he loved her?

Gavin was both annoyed and amused. "This is the logic of pirates."

"It's obvious that you don't dare to admit it!" Wendy argued. "Don't shift all the blame onto me!"

"..."

Gavin had to admit that Wendy was right this time. He really didn't dare to admit his feelings for her because he knew what would happen once he admitted it.

Gavin tried to turn the tables. "Stop it. I'll send you back, and we'll just pretend that nothing happened tonight."

Wendy didn't expect that Gavin would refuse to face it all the time. She took a step back in disappointment. "That's impossible. Gavin, I've said that I like you. Can you really pretend that you didn't hear me?"

"You don't know how ridiculous your words are," Gavin said, "I'll think you were just acting on impulse."

"..." Wendy tried to hold her tears back, but she failed and couldn't help crying. "Gavin, you bastard!"

Gavin looked puzzled as if he didn't know why he was cursed. "What's wrong with me?"

Wendy was angry, but she was no match for Gavin in force, so she had to push him hard. "I said I like you, but you pretend to be ignorant of that. It's a thing only a bastard will do!"

Gavin was amused and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Wendy said straightforwardly and bluntly, "I want you to say that you like me too!"

"Wendy," Gavin said in a cold voice, as if he wanted to wake Wendy up with his indifference. "I told you, you can't force someone who doesn't like you to tell such a lie."

"You are lying to me now!" Wendy looked at Gavin stubbornly. "You are just a bastard!"

Gavin sighed in his heart. "If you like to call me like this, I don't care. Take your bag and I'll send you back."

"No." Wendy leaned on the sofa and said, "I won't go."

"..."

Gavin understood finally.

When she was pretending, Wendy could have skills as consummate as those of a movie queen to hide her feelings perfectly.

After she threw caution to the wind, she could also give full play to her shamelessness. It seemed that she would not go unless he threw her out by himself.

"Wendy," Gavin warned her in a dangerous tone. "Don't force me to take action."

"It's up to what you're going to do." Wendy held her chin and said with a faint smile, "If you dare to hit me, I'll tell Mom that you are bullying me. If you come on to me... Well, I may accept it."

Did Wendy know what she was talking about?

Gavin was really annoyed. "Has anyone ever told you that girls shouldn't talk too casually?"

"Girls should certainly not treat men who they don't like in an offhand manner." Wendy looked at Gavin frankly. "But I like you. You can be an exception."

Gavin was so angry that he reached out to catch Wendy.

Wendy flexibly avoided him and slipped into the bathroom.

"Don't think I have no way even if you hide in the bathroom!" Gavin roared. "Come out!"

"I wanna take a shower." Wendy provoked him. "If you have a way, just come in."

"Take a shower?

"Is she really going to stay?"

Gavin strode over. However, before he could catch Wendy, the latter had already slipped into the bathroom.

He was about to break in when Wendy's voice came out from inside. "I'm taking off my clothes!"

"..."

Gavin was stunned and had to withdraw his hand from the handle.

Sure enough, the door was not pushed open. Wendy snorted proudly, turned on the shower, and began to take a shower.

She was not afraid that Gavin would break in.

After seeing her naked, she could also ask him to be responsible for her!

In Wendy's memory, it had been a long time since she took a shower so happily.

Ever since Dolly revealed Gavin's family background, she had pretended to be happy every day. She could only sleep under the hypnotism of pills and wake up in the emptiness every day.

Now, she didn't need to keep her secret anymore, and she didn't need to experience alone the sadness of being disappointed in a love affair either.

She could pester Gavin and tell him why she was sad or joyful.

Right now, Wendy felt that she shouldn't have thought so much at all, and she didn't need to keep the secret of falling in love with Gavin alone!

After being impulsive for 20 seconds, she could share all her sadness and joy with Gavin from now on.

After the shower, Wendy casually found a bath towel and wrapped herself in it. She opened the door and walked out carefully.

Gavin wasn't in the living room.

It just so happened that she needed to find something to wear before seeing him!

Wendy tiptoed to the door of the bedroom. Just as she was about to push the door open, Gavin's voice suddenly came from another door.

"Weren't you very frank just now? Why are you sneaking around now?"

He turned out to be in the study.

Wendy looked at Gavin and said, "I'm not wearing any clothes. You'd better not stand still. Get me a pajama."

She was only wrapped in a bath towel, and her well-shaped shoulders and neck were exposed. Her skin looked even more white and delicate after the shower, which was particularly attractive.

What was more charming was that the bath towel was not long and barely reached the middle of her thighs. The remaining half of her thighs and her slender and straight calves were exposed in the air, which made people fall into a reverie.

Gavin looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he looked away in a hurry. "I don't have any women's pajamas here."

"No?" Wendy grabbed the bath towel covering her breasts, tiptoed to Gavin, and asked, "What did Blake wear here?"

She had just taken a shower, and there was a refreshing fragrance on her body. The fragrance violently flowed into Gavin's breath and made him only felt that there was an itch in his heart, and then, his breathing was messed up...

To hide his strangeness, Gavin pretended to be impatient. He shouted, "Who told you that Blake had been here?"

Wendy felt as if she had heard a great piece of good news. "Hasn't Blake ever come here?"

In other words, she was still the only girl who had been to Gavin's house, right?

Only then did Gavin realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, but it was obvious that this mistake could no longer be corrected.

Wendy pretended to feel pity even if she felt it great inside. She said helplessly, "Then I'll have to wear your clothes!"

"Wendy! You don't go too far!"

Gavin could not stop Wendy at all. She turned around and ran into his room.

Wendy had been here before, so she was quite familiar with this place. She ran into the cloakroom and was so happy as if she had already had Gavin.

Finally, she chose a loose T-shirt.

She knew that for her now, Gavin's shirt was the best choice. She didn't even need to think about how seductive she would be.

But she had gone too far today. She'd better restrain herself for a while.

"To tempt him wearing his shirt... There will be ample time to do it."

When Gavin went back to his room, Wendy had already put on the clothes and come out of the cloakroom.

She was so thin that his T-shirt instantly became the extra-large-size one on her body. It was wide and loose, but it still outlined her beautiful figure.

There seemed to be a feather scratching Gavin's heart. He stared at Wendy and asked, "Do you really want to stay here with me?"

"Pestering you starts from living with You!" Wendy said in a righteous and unreasonable manner. "Don't waste your time. You can't drive me away."

Gavin looked at the time. It was getting late. He didn't want to waste too much energy on her, so he took a quilt and pillow.

"Are you going to sleep on the sofa?" Wendy asked.

"The study." Gavin warned Wendy in a cold voice, "This is my bottom line. You'd better not make trouble anymore."

Wendy could guess that if she kept making trouble, Gavin would explode.

She returned to the room timidly. "Then you can sleep in the study. Good night!"

Gavin ignored Wendy and slammed the study's door shut.

Wendy was in a good mood, and she jumped into Gavin's bed. She grabbed the quilt and took a deep breath as if she was possessed. Oh, it really smelled like Gavin.

At this moment, Wendy was incomparably satisfied.

The secret that she had tried so hard to cover up for so long suddenly broke that night.

Wendy didn't know whether she was wrong or not. She didn't know what would happen if she kept pestering Gavin. She didn't even know what would happen in the future.

Faced with so many uncertainties, she still did not regret it.

On the contrary, it was revealed from her satisfaction right now that confessing her love for Gavin was the second most correct decision she had ever made after she insisted on studying medicine.

Wendy closed her eyes and couldn't help raising her lip. She felt unprecedentedly happy and peaceful in her heart.

That night, it was the first time that she had fallen asleep without relying on sleeping pills or alcohol since Gavin's family background was exposed.

In the study next door:

Compared with Wendy, Gavin was much more tortured. He couldn't fall asleep at all.

Wendy had always been rational. Not only did she pretend to be dating Connell, but she also blessed him and Blake.

He had planned to take advantage of the opportunity of his engagement with Blake to make Wendy give up completely and study abroad.

As time went by, the rich extra-curriculum life would wash away her memory of him. She would soon completely forget him.

Gavin never thought that the ring would make Wendy break down in an instant. It could make her reveal the secret she had tried hard to keep and shout what she really wanted.

He still didn't know Wendy well enough. Otherwise, he should know where Wendy's bottom line was, and that she was even more shameless than Freya.

At the moment when Wendy exploded, she was sad, and he was even sadder.

Only he knew that when Wendy said that she liked him, he wanted to hug her so much and tell her that she never struggled alone in this relationship.

However, his remaining reason kept warning him that he couldn't be so selfish to let Wendy suffer more in the future.

He barely managed to maintain his last reason, but Wendy didn't care about anything else. It seemed that she really intended to stay here with him.

He would have a talk with her tomorrow. If she still didn't want to leave, he had a lot of ways to deal with her.

The clock on the wall showed that it was one o'clock in the morning, but Gavin still could not fall asleep.

He directly got up and went back to his room.

In the room, under the dim light, Wendy was curled up on the big bed. She was covered with the quilt, except her face as big as a palm. She had a satisfied and sound sleep, with long breaths.

She didn't have to rely on sleeping pills here, did she?

Gavin breathed a sigh of relief as if he had found something comforting.

If this place could give her a sense of security, then... just let her stay here.
