The girl's skin was white and tender, and the way her tears fell was like crystals that fell onto her large teary eyes. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Duke felt like his heart had stopped beating for a moment, and his deep eyes were unable to move away from her beautiful face. He stared at her in embarrassment for a few seconds, and finally, he thought of answering her.

"Where did you hear this from? You don't study properly and you even learn gossip at such a young age?" Duke's tone was still indifferent, calm and without any ripples, as if Wendy was merely a next-door naughty kid to him, who didn't deserve his attention.

"Don't care where I know it. You just have to answer me if it's true. If that's true, then I won't disturb you in the future, and I don't want to be your friend anymore either. It's right for you to break off all relations with me, that's the only way you can treat your girlfriend fairly." The tears in the corner of Wendy's eyes slipped even more. She lifted the back of her hand and carelessly wiped them away. Her pink lips were tightly bitten by her pure white jade teeth, and even her lips had a touch of pale white.

After Duke finished listening to her explanation, suddenly, he felt that the girl in front of him had grown up.

This knowledge made his heart beat wildly. In his impression, Wendy was just a small child who was willful, tender, and weak and cute.

But all of a sudden, that little girl who only knew how to cry, suddenly started chatting about adulthood with him. This kind of feeling made everyone's heart feel hot, Duke's handsome face instantly revealed a tinge of panic, he could only turn away, and did not let her into his line of sight.

"This is my personal matter, so it's inconvenient for me to tell you. Your big brother is injured, so you should pay attention to him." Duke's voice suddenly became heavy, it carried a sense of distance, causing people to not have the courage to continue asking.

Of course, Wendy knew that her brother was injured. She had just gone to the office to see him with her parents.

"Does the injury of my brother have anything to do with your uncle?" Wendy suddenly asked him with a pale face. "I'm not sure." Duke did not dare to answer her directly. Wendy suddenly said angrily: "I'll have to trouble you to tell your uncle not to do any more heinous things. If you have the ability, then compete fairly with my big brother. Duke was scolded by her words until her face turned gloomy. He then turned his head and looked at Duke with her angry face: "Wendy, I heard your words, you can go back now." Wendy saw that he kept chasing her away. If she still didn't know how to turn around, then she would be asking for humiliation.

"Can we meet again?" Before he left, Wendy suddenly turned to look at him and asked, her clear eyes filled with hope.

Duke looked at her, his heart clenching hard. After a long while, he finally nodded his head: "Of course we will meet. The world is so small, we must meet."

"Duke, in your eyes, have I never grown up, and you have always treated me like a child?" Wendy asked again unwillingly. She really wanted to know how this man looked at her. Duke was surprised, he did not expect her to ask such a question, as expected of a child.

"You are eighteen years old this year. You are no longer a child, are you?" The man's voice was low, as if he were mumbling to himself.

"Yes, I am eighteen years old. I have also grown up. I am not a child." Wendy purposely emphasized again: "From now on, I can also have a boyfriend."

Duke was startled again, a complicated look flashed past his eyes. When he heard that she wanted to date a boyfriend, he panicked.

"Is that so? It looks like you have a guy you like." Duke smirked and asked her curiously.

Wendy was stunned, she involuntarily bit her lower lip, a pair of beautiful eyes glaring at him angrily, after that, without saying a word, she turned and quickly left.

Duke did not expect her to not answer his question. He could not help but laugh at himself.

Wendy clenched her fists and quickly left the hospital. Outside the door, Driver brother and the two darts were waiting there. Seeing her walk over, he opened the car door for her.

Wendy sat in the car, that beautiful face of hers suddenly frowned, and in the next second, she covered her mouth and started crying.

"Bastard!" Wendy cursed at him for no reason, and she didn't know why she cursed at him either.

Duke stood alone in the pavilion, his body stiff and straight. He stared at the water surface as his heart was thrown into chaos.

He didn't think that Wendy would take the initiative to run over and replace him. Her arrival alarmed his calm lake and caused the ripples to grow larger and larger, eventually drowning his heart.

"I must be crazy." When her entire mind was filled with her crying face, Duke scolded himself somewhat angrily.

In the past, he only knew Wendy because he was Joseph Grant's little sister. Joseph Grant really doted on this little sister, so wherever he went, he would let her follow. Over time, all of Joseph Grant's friends would become friends with this little girl.

Duke was one of them. At that time, Wendy was innocent and cute, with the ability to sing and dance, making her really popular among the people. However, she was also a delicate person, who liked to cry whenever he wanted to, and most of them weren't able to coax her well.

Duke also had a sister. But his sister was a quite girl. Sh was not noisy and good at study. Wendy and his sister were simply two different types of teaching materials. Betty, the younger sister, was the positive one, while Wendy was the negative one. She was always filled with the energy to torment others. Duke had been tormented by her many times back then, no matter if it was by a small fry or nail polish, they had all happened to Wendy once, where did Wendy get a set of cosmetics from and even wanted to use him as a test product, scaring him to the point that she did not dare to meet her for a few months. Originally, this kind of negative example would cause people to keep their distance, but Wendy had a type of magic that allowed people to get closer and closer to her.

The first time Duke sensed his inner thoughts, it was on the day of Wendy's visit to the new school. She was thirteen years old, and the school held a welcome party for Wendy, who had a leading dance event. In order to support his sister's image, Joseph Grant brought a few friends and sneaked into the school. On the stage, Duke saw a different Wendy for the first time. She was no longer noisy, but like an elf, dressed in a gorgeous dress, dancing on the stage, like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly. She was so beautiful that people did not want to blink.

Even many years later, Duke would still occasionally think about the scene from that night. He even remembered that Wendy had forgotten about how embarrassed she looked when her teammates dragged her back, looking cute and mischievous.

After that night, it was as if Duke had become a completely different person. He didn't dare meet with Wendy anymore, and started to distance himself from her. As long as she appeared at a place, there wouldn't be able to see Duke again. Coincidentally, at that time, Joseph Grant had gone abroad to study, while Duke had enrolled into a military academy.

However, they would still occasionally bump into each other, but Duke could only pretend to be cold and let Wendy be sensible and leave.

This kind of relationship, until today, Duke had already avoided her for nearly five years. These five years, he had always used his work and dreams to enrich his empty heart, thinking that once he got busy, he would be able to forget everything from the past. He could not bring up this matter with anyone, even his closest sister. He was embarrassed, afraid, and felt that his heart was evil, and he was not worthy of good love.

The more the man thought about it, the more confused he became. He then heavily punched the pillar beside him. The pain in his fingertip eased all of the random thoughts in his head.

He reached out and took out his wallet, opened it, and took out a small picture of a lovely girl from the innermost mezzanine. Duke's breathing became heavier and heavier. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, and blew away the photo that he did not dare to take forcefully, causing his entire body to tremble. He turned around, and following the gust of wind, he directly jumped into the pond behind, and anxiously and carefully picked up the picture again.

A few of the children nearby were shocked by his crazy actions and immediately turned to look for their mother.
