...
When Gwenda got downstairs, she snuck into the living room and ran into Wendy.
"Gwenda, you're awake."
Upon seeing her, Gwenda felt a complicated barrage of emotions. She went up to Wendy and said sternly, "Wendy, don't joke around like this next time."
Wendy knew what she was talking about, so she chuckled and tried to be cute. "Gwenda~ don't be mad! It's just this once. I won't do it again next time!"
"You can play around if you want, but how could you lock the door? Honestly..."
Gwenda grumbled.
"Lock the door? What do you mean?"
Wendy was confused.
When did she ever lock the door?
"Didn't you lock the door?"
Gwenda retorted.
Wendy rolled her eyes as she instantly understood what Gwenda meant.
Her cousin was really quite the schemer.
If he wanted to woo his future wife, he could do just that. How could he stoop so low as to frame her?
That was too much!
"Haha, Gwenda, I promise I won't do it again. Please calm down and take a seat. I'll make you some tea."
Wendy took the opportunity to escape.
She would take the blame for the time being.
When Olivier came out later, she would find him and get even with him!!
......
At sunset, the rays of the dying sun painted the sky a lovely shade of red.
After Olivier got up, Wendy immediately intercepted him.
"My dear cousin, Olivier, I didn't expect you to be so shameless. You actually lied to Gwenda by saying that I locked the door! You've really thrown me to the wolves this time!"
Having been exposed, Olivier was not the least bit embarrassed. Instead, he asked confidently, "Weren't you though?"
Wendy's eyes widened in disbelief. "What impudence! What insolence!"
How could she have an impertinent cousin brother like Olivier?
"Brat, don't meddle in adult affairs."
Olivier pushed her out of his way and went towards the kitchen bar.
