Edward chatted with me for a while, but I didn't have the patience to answer. I just said directly, "Mr. Hearst, in fact, whether for our previous relationship or my relationship with Gavin, it will make our current relationship very awkward. I think the best result is that we will no longer contact each other anymore. This is the best solution for us."
Then I got up and wanted to leave, but Edward said. "Darcey, actually I have something to say to you today."
I got impatient, "But I don't want to hear it."
"It's about Gavin."
Looking at Edward's face. No matter what he said, I didn't want to hear any news about Gavin.
Edward ignored my annoying face, took out a photo from his bag and put it in front of me. "I hope you can have a look at this thing."
I took a closer look and found that it was a very ordinary photo of a woman. After a closer look, I found that she looked very similar to me, but it also had nothing to do with me no matter how we looked alike. I asked, "What do you mean?"
Edward whispered, "You've been with Gavin for so long. Have you ever heard of someone named Blake?"
My heart suddenly beat faster. "Did Edward bring me here to expose his brother's shortcomings? Then why did he show me this photo?"
Edward flipped the photo over, and behind it was two simple and refreshing words, Blake Heigl.
I panicked and my mind was blank. I picked up the picture and looked at it several times. But I found that the more I stared at her eyes, the more I felt I was lookinging at myself.
I'm getting more terrified. I've heard of this name from Gavin. This face is similar to mine. Did all of this evidences lead to one conclusion?
Edward looked at my changed face and suddenly hit the key point. "This woman is Gavin's first love."
I shook my head, as if denying Edward, but more like denying myself.
Edward went on to point out that I was deluding myself. "Indeed, when I saw you at the beginning, I felt incredible too. How can there be people in this world who are so similar? And the more I look, the more similar you are. I wanted to tell you in the beginning, but you always avoided me. Now I am telling you that I want you to move on."
"Move on?" I looked at Edward contemptuously. "If you really want me to move one, you shouldn't show me this kind of thing which should not appear in my life!"
I got up and left, swearing that I wouldn't have any contact with Edward or Gavin.
Edward's words could only testify how stupid I was at the beginning. There was no other use.
It's funny to think of my former overconfidence. Why was I so stupid as to be willing to believe that Gavin loved me at any cost? I was stupid enough to be someone else's substitute and thought I've got the right man!
I lost the bet with Gavin completely, and the price is to lose a love that had never belonged to me.
I didn't know why Edward was telling me this. but I also felt depressed for a few days as he wished.
Edward came to report regularly, but I felt annoyed as soon as I saw him.
Edward often bought a pair of shoes casually and counted as my sales performance. Slowly, my colleagues began to look at me with jealousy.
His entanglement almost drove me crazy, but he still shamelessly said that he liked me and wanted to be with me!
At that time, I just regarded it as the biggest joke in the world I've ever heard and turned away.
