Chapter 3

I looked up and met Vincent's gaze.

There was surprise and discomfort in his eyes.

"Vincent, who is this?"

"My cousin." Vincent answered subconsciously.

He dared not look me in the eyes.

"Your cousin is pretty. Why don't you introduce her to us?"

Vincent's friends said with a smile but saw that Vincent's face quickly turned pale.

Then they said, "Just kidding. Wish you and Lucy happy."

After they finished speaking, Vincent's face became even uglier.

He pulled me away and said casually, "Why did you come here?"

"I came to visit Professor Lee."

Hearing that I was not here specifically to see him, Vincent breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just said that because no one knows I have a girlfriend. Don't think too much about it..."

"Okay."

Seeing that I was so calm, Vincent was surprised.

He seemed to want to say something more, but I turned and left.

Looking at my back, Vincent felt a little nervous for no reason.

But when he received Lucy's voice call, he completely put this feeling behind him.

When Vincent returned home, he saw me packing my luggage.

"Where are we going?"

"I may need to go on a business trip, so I pack my luggage in advance."

Vincent nodded indifferently, then suddenly took out a doll from behind.

"Well, Wendy, please stop being angry with me, okay? I know I made you unhappy today, so I'll give you this doll as compensation."

Vincent liked to use this trick.

Every time he made me angry, he would do this.

This was how I was fooled by his sweet words in the past.

I chuckled and took the doll, and Vincent was relieved to see me smile.

I recalled when I wanted Vincent to buy me a doll, he looked at me with an expression of shock and disgust.

"Wendy, you are almost thirty years old. Why do you like such childish things?"

That day, he walked very quickly in front of me as if he didn't want others to know that we knew each other.

I hurriedly followed him and sprained my ankle several times, but I didn't dare to say a word against him.

Vincent went to the bathroom holding his cell phone.

I opened Facebook and saw that Lucy had updated.

[Vincent gave me a lot of cute dolls, so I will allow him to take one away.]

I casually threw the doll Vincent gave me at the end of the bed.

It turned out that it was the one Lucy didn't want.

At this time, Lucy sent me a video.

After watching it, I was shocked.

In the video, Lucy was wearing my pajamas and seductively lying on my bed.

The next second, Vincent appeared in the video.

He couldn't wait to hug her. "Lucy, why do you like wearing Wendy's clothes so much?"

"Haha, don't you think this is exciting? Tell me, who looks better in this outfit, me or her?"

"Of course it's you. Wendy is old, and I'm not interested in her at all when I see her wrinkles."

The video ended here.

My hands started shaking madly.

Vincent had actually brought Lucy home and even had sex with her on my bed.

"What are you watching?"

Vincent just took a shower, with his hair still wet.

He wanted to come forward and hug me, but I subconsciously avoided him.

Vincent frowned.

Then he continued, "Wendy, tomorrow is your birthday. Shall we go out for dinner?"

I tried hard to control my emotions and said, "Okay."

Vincent wanted to say something else, but I said, "I'll sleep in the study tonight."

Without further explanation, I hurriedly closed the door.

I was afraid that if I stayed there for another second, I would vomit.

The next day, Vincent was very active.

He took me to a French restaurant, and when I was about to order, I suddenly received a message.

[Wendy, do you believe that if I call Vincent, he will leave you and choose to accompany me?]

I calmly replied to her: [Really?]

The next second, Vincent's phone rang.

His expression changed instantly and he said, "Sorry, Wendy. My professor wants to see me, so I have to leave first."

As I watched Vincent leave, I didn't even say any word to persuade him to stay.

Then I celebrated my thirtieth birthday alone.

When I opened Facebook, I saw that Lucy had updated.

She posted a video.

In the video, Vincent held a large bouquet of roses and knelt on one knee in front of Lucy.

"Lucy, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

The crowd immediately burst into excited screams, shouting, "Agree! Agree!"

"Yes!"

Then the two of them hugged each other and kissed sweetly.

Vincent's friends set off balloons and fireworks beside them.

Vincent, who didn't even want to walk with me holding hands, confessed his love to another girl on my birthday.

[Wendy, did you see that? Vincent and I are together.]

[If I were you, I would want to leave him right away. How can you have the nerve to interfere with other people's relationship?]

Lucy sent me provocative messages.

I replied to her: [I wish you a happy marriage.]

Then I said to myself, "Happy birthday, Wendy."
