Chapter 119
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 119 Madeline said a few comforting words and waved him off. âAlright, go focus on your things. Isnât your paper er still unwritten! Your research advisor keeps pushing you every day. Why donât you seem worried!â
She halfâjoked, âWhether he can become the dean or not all depends on you. You carry a huge responsibility, you know.â
Gavin shook his head and said, âIâm going to buy groceries. The paper can wait. Taking care of your appetite is far more importantâ
Carin went downstairs. Despite his casual attire, his striking good looks made it impossible for people to overlook him.
Many students from Acocester University lived in this apartment building. As soon as Cavin stepped out of the elevator, a girl was walking toward him. He was so engrossed in his phoneâs recipe app that he didnât notice her.
âWait a munuse, Gavin, the girl said.
Hearing the girlâs voice, Gavin paused slightly and glanced sideways at her. His expression was cool and distant, making him seem unreachable. He wasnât as pretentious as he was in front of Madeline. With a hint of impatience, he raised an eyebrow:
âWhatâs up?â
âDonât you remember me? Xena bit her lip. She had confessed her feelings to Gavin back at whool, but he had thrown her into the artificial lake.
To be closer to him, she had even moved into this apartment.
Her heart was bubbling with anger, yet she forced a smile. âIf you donât remember, forget it. I live on the 8th floor. Weâre neighbors.â
Gavin glanced over her face, thinking it looked somewhat familiar. But in the past, when he was bored, he would rease some girls without really caring, so naturally, he felt they all looked the same.
âOlâ He was about to continue walking. It was already past four, and he was rushing to the supermarket to buy groceries. If Acocester University had a club of the best partners, heâd surely be the leader.
âI need to talk to you? Xena taught up with Gavin, walking beside him. Her lovely face hard a friendly smile. âYou havenât been spending the night here recently, have you?â
âItâs none of your business, Cavin scoffed. âYou donât have a crush on me, do you! Too many people have a crush on me. Youâre just too ordinary. Find someone else to like Xenaâs face turned pale. Last time, he said he was out of her league, and now he said she was too ordinary. Gavin was the first person to continuously insult her and did not remember her. It was so frustrating Xenaâs eyes began to mist up. She was almost brought to tears. âYou donât have this attitude towards that makes you give her such special treatment.
Madeline. I donât see whatâs so special about her eyes To her surprise, Gavin wasnât angry, Instead, he laughed. âAh, about thatâ Gavin paused, slightly raising his chin with a thoughtful look in his ey âIt donât really matter how Maddie looks. The main thing is that sheâs just so cute. Any guy would like her He feigned distress. âAfter all, Iâm just a normal guy. Itâs only natural that I canât resist her charm. Itâs just that the competition is a bit tough, huh Xenaâs fists clenched in anger. She thought, âSure, Madeline may be somewhat attractive, but does he have to praise her like sheâs some sort of goddess? Itâs really annoying Xena sneered and decided not to speak nicely to him anymore. She used to really like Gavin, but he was pushing her toward darkness.
Even when youâre not around, your place is still really lively. Xena commented, scrolling through her phone and showing some photos. âLook, Madeline gets picked up by all kinds of Fancy cars. Sheâs certainly busy. Spending time with a different guy every day is enough to keep her occupied Kena continued with a unug tone, âEven if youâre the campus heartthrobs, youâre still just a college student. With so many rich guys around, who knows if Madeline may go down the wrong path! Do you really like a girl who hops into huxury cars so easily just for money! Your taste isnât that Gavin looked down. His eyes were intense and dark. He slowly lifted his hand to press Xena against the wall as if he were handling a l a little chick His lips twisted into a cold smile, and his eyes carried a sharp chill. His wone was casual to the core. âWho are you to talk badly about Madeline? Weâve got plenty of luxury cars at home. She can ride a different one every dayâ He pressed his tongue against his cheek, his tone becoming more menating âDonât let me see you around here again. Get lostâ
Ker was forcefully tirown to the ground. Her backside hurt intensely, as if her tailbone had cracked. She looked up, her face stained with tears, at Gavin, who was standing tall against the light âWhat does threatening me achieve? If youâre so capable, why donât you deal with Madeline? Youâre just taking your anger nut on me At ikat entenent. Madeline Lame downstairs to take out the trash and save the scene, looking a bit puzzled. She casually tossed the garbage to the Jln. âCavin, why del you make her try again!â
Chapter 119 âAgain?â Gavin looked disdainfully at the woman on the ground. âDid I also do that before?â
Madelineâs mouth twitched. âYeah, didnât you throw her into the lake last time and scare her to tears?â
Gavin scoffed, âWell, she deserved it. I really canât stand people who are so selfâabsorbed.â
Madeline sighed and rubbed her forehead. âYou should be a bit more forgiving toward girls,â
Madeline thought. He is the most popular guy at school with so many admirers. If he makes each one cry, what will people say about him? A complete jerkâ
Gavin looked at Madeline. âYou donât need to feel sorry for girls like her. She started talking bad about you behind your back just because she saw you getting into Calebâs and Yohannesâs cars. Itâs disgustingâ
Madeline frowned slightly, âReally?â
When Xena heard this, she was stunned. She thought, I initially intended to secretly tell Gavin that he was being cheated on.
Who knows they all knew each other? Are those cars also owned by Gavinâs friends?
She was frustrated. âI didnât mean to badâmouth anyone. I was just giving a friendly reminder... After all, who can resist the temptation of money! Even if she isnât selling you out for money now, itâs only a matter of time before she does.â
Gavin walked over and put his arm around Madelineâs shoulders. The height difference was quite cute. He looked like heâd just heard the funniest joke ever.
âFor money?â He laughed freely, bending over a little. âIf Maddie were really someone who did things for money, itâd be so much simpler He said this as he took out the key and pressed it. Xena was startled, turning to see a sports car making noise. âIs this your trembling slightly. âSo... Gavin is a rich kid himself? Xena wondered.
Madeline obediently went with Gavin to buy groceries.
car?â she asked, her hands Xena watched the car drive away, feeling both wronged and angry. She felt a bit foolish. She never would have guessed that Gavin, a college student who usually kept a low profile, could be so wealthy.
Yvette saw everything and came over to offer comfort, âDidnât you learn your lesson last time? Why are you still acting so recklessly? Everyone knows about their sweet relationship at the whole college. Thereâs no suspicion or cheating involved. And you, do you want to get close to Gavin and be the third wheel?â
Xena looked at her best friend and stomped her foot. âWhat do you mean by âbe the third wheel? Iâm just trying to get to know him better. What if he ends up liking me more? Theyâre not married yet. Why canât I pursue Gavin? Madeline hasnât said anything, so why are you blaming me?*
Yvette sighed and shook her head. Madeline hasnât said anything, but Gavinâs attitude is quite clear Xena sported and set off to pack her belongings. Gavin had really frightened her earlier, and she was worried heâd hit her next time.
