“Crap,” Bruce sighs.
He did have a crush on Anna Pork, but he has cut her out since he saw her through.
“Well, Dan has married Jamie, so I think Eddie and Wendy will get married soon.”
Bruce says to himself, while he neither notices Duke’s gloomy face, nor senses the chill aloofness radiating off of him in waves.
“There’s no surprise that they should be together. After all, they have been best friends since high school. Why can’t I notice Eddie loves Wendy? I used to think they’re just bros, ” Bruce says, his hands rubbing his chin.
“Well, it makes sense. They are a man and a woman, and what else affection can we expect of them? It has to be sexual love…Holy shoot! What the heck are you doing?” Bruce is interrupted as he is startled by Duke, who punches the wall so hard that there’s a hole in it.
Bruce hastily pats his chest with a shocked face. “It’s okay to damage the wall, but what if your hand is maimed? Are you insane?”
Duke snorts dryly and countered, “There does exist other affection except sexual love. Do you think they are meant to be together?”
Bruce is kind of shocked by Duke’s abnormal response.
Hold on.
Does he?
“Duke, do you love Wendy?” Bruce asks unbelievably as it sounds like Duke is jealousy.
Bruce doesn’t answer his question, which is a silent “Yes”.
“Don’t you have a crush on Joey Lan? How can you love Wendy?” Bruce is shocked trembling.
What juicy gossip!
No wonder Duke has never showed up with Joey together since Joey made a scene on the engagement party, not to mention Bruce rarely saw Duke around during that time.
It turned out that Duke went to Wendy’s home to find her during that time. He used to think Duke went there for the sake of their parents’ friendship, but now Bruce gets it that Duke is crushed on Wendy.
“How can you hide the secret from me, bro? It’s not cool.” Bruce hits his shoulder and says, “but Wendy and Eddie are so happy as you can see, and they’re about to get married. It’s not that I don’t get your back, but you’d better quit now.”
Honestly, although Duke is his best friend, Bruce still thinks Wendy and Eddie match the most.
Duke is too stone-cold for outgoing girls like Wendy.
“As long as they’re not married, I still have a chance,” Bruce says with his eyes glowing with confidence.
Bruce looks at Duke and frowns as if Duke is a stranger. “Well, it’s immoral to steal others’ girlfriend, bro. Plus, for Joey Lan, you have got Wendy thrown into the jail. I’m afraid she hasn’t forgiven you yet.”
Wendy is like a sister to Bruce, and he believes Wendy won’t hit Joey purposely, instead, he thinks it’s an accident.
