“D–Didn’t you promise you won’t interfere with my affairs anymore?”
Gwen looked up at him and asked with a smile, “Then, why did you … after I fainted …”
Sean smiled gracefully. He explained, “Although I’ve given up on pursuing you, we’re still friends, right? Of course, I’ll lend a helping hand to a friend in trouble.”
“So… we’ll be friends from now on…” Gwen said slowly, looking into Sean’s eyes.
Sean turned away. “Yeah.”
Gwen smiled and said, “Yeah, that’s a good idea. I think we’ll last longer as friends than lovers.”
“I think so, too,” Sean agreed, looking out the window.
Gwen smiled. “Then, are we going back or
”
“That depends on Caroline.” Sean looked at Caroline, who had finished her phone call.
After getting into the car, Caroline said to them, “Kirk will pick me up in a moment. Which one of you can help me drive the car back?”
Sean and Gwen looked at each other, then quickly looked away again.
“I’ll do it. I was the one who caused all this,” Gwen said.
“I can’t believe you still want to drive after drinking so much.”
Caroline quipped, “Maybe you should go to the hospital to check on your brain.”
Gwen was speechless at her words.
“Then, I’m the only one who can do it,” Sean said.
Caroline glanced at Gwen. “What about you, Gwen? How are you going home? Why don’t we give you a ride?”
“No thanks. I don’t want to be a third wheel for you two.”
Gwen laid on the back of the chair. She said, “I can just take a cab later.”
“It’s a bad idea to hail a cab at this place.”
“I’ll take her home on the way,” Sean said.
A sly smile appeared on Caroline’s face. She said, “Okay. I’ll be relieved if you take her home.”
Gwen looked over at Caroline suspiciously. She had a feeling that Caroline had done this on purpose, but she didn’t have any proof.
Ten minutes later, Kirk arrived. Caroline got out of the car and waved to the two of them. “I’ll be going now. Send me a message when you arrive home safely.”
“Okay.” Gwen leaned on the car window and waved Caroline goodbye.
After Caroline got into Kirk’s car, Gwen put down her hand and asked, “Is Carol trying to set the both of us up?”
Sean grabbed the keys. He chuckled. “Probably.”
Gwen laughed as well. “Will she be upset if she finds out we won’t do as she wishes?”
Sean said, “Probably?”
Gwen laughed again. She was smiling, but there were tears in her eyes. Fortunately, Sean had already started the car in the front seat, so he didn’t notice her crying.
Gwen rested her head on the front seat and let the tears flow down the back of her hands. In fact, she didn’t really know why she was crying.
Sean said they could be friends, which was what she obviously wanted. However, she wasn’t as happy as she had imagined.
Instead, she felt as if she had lost something important to her. She felt a piece of her heart being ripped out. It hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Gwen’s house. She stumbled out of the car. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Seeing this, Sean frowned and got out of the car to support her. “I’ll take you upstairs.”
“No, it’s fine. I can walk by myself.” Gwen’s mind was awake, but her movements were a mess.
After taking a few steps, she couldn’t tell the difference between her left and right feet anymore.
However, she still wasn’t aware of it.
After taking a few more steps, she turned to Sean and boasted, “See? I told you I could walk!”
Sean smiled, but the next second, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes. “Be carefu-”
Before he could finish speaking, Gwen felt her body swaying uncontrollably. The weightlessness made her even more frantic.
