The woman had red lips and bright teeth. Her hair was dark, and her skin was fair, especially those eyes of her eyes, which looked watery under the dim light as if they were alive.
Gavyn was already slightly drunk at the moment. He was dizzy, and his expression was slightly blurred.
At that moment, he couldn’t think about why Aylin was here, but he was distracted by that pair of eyes that he had been longing for.
“H-How did you…”
Samantha thought he was talking about her identity since the passerby did mention it just now. She just smiled faintly and said, “It seems that you know What a coincidence.”
The tide of alcohol washed away his sanity, and Gavyn felt that everything in front of him was unreal.
The person he had dreamed about day and night was now right in front of him.
Gavyn looked at the woman without moving his gaze. His dark pupils were like obsidian, which made Samantha’s heart skip a beat.
“You…”
Samantha had always been open-minded, but even she froze when the man. approached her, and the ambiguous atmosphere was just right.
Gavyn leaned over, wanting to hug her, but just as he was about to touch her, he suddenly withdrew his hand and pushed her away.
“You’re not her. Who are you?” Gavyn asked with a frown as his gaze sharpened.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
The woman in front of him looked a little like Aylin, especially those eyes.
They were the most similar at first glance, but when one looked closely, they were different.
The shape of Aylin’s eyes was not just beautiful, but also the coldness in her eyes, which were different from the eyes of the woman in front of him who only knew how to charm.
More importantly, the woman was close to him, and Gavyn smelled the strong scent of perfume on her body, a scent that Aylin had never used before.
Samantha was taken aback by his sudden action. After a moment, she came to her senses and smiled coldly. “So, you have mistaken me for someone else?”
Hah! I can’t believe it. I was used as a substitute again even after leaving him?’
“Is my face really that common?”
Samantha smiled coldly in self-mockery as she continued, “Why is every man using me as a substitute when they see me? Is this just some talent of mine?”
Gavyn clenched his fists and got rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind. before he forced himself to get up.
“Sorry, I was drunk just now.”
He left work to drink and mistook another woman for Aylin in the bar. When did I allow himself to be so absurd?
The bartenders in the vicinity were already looking in their direction.
Noticing that, Gavyn frowned and handed his business card to her. “You can contact my assistant for compensation to make it up for it if you need any help in the future.”
Samantha watched as his tall figure walked away, disappearing from her sight as her smile turned bitter.
Her fingertips just gently stroked the business card as she lowered her head and murmured, “Hah! Do all you men just love to compensate?”
As soon as Gavyn walked out of the door, the cool breeze made him sober up.
He just drank and couldn’t drive, so he called a driver and they were arriving and the one who took the order was a middle-aged man. soon,
“Sir, I’m sorry. You can head in and fasten your seatbelt first. I need to talk to my wife, but it won’t be long.”
The driver then opened the car door for Gavyn while speaking on the phone. “Oh, it’s okay. I’m familiar with the road here, and I’ll be home after this.”
“It doesn’t matter how much money you make, as long as you’re safe. It’s already late. You better come home when it’s time next time.” A gentle female voice came from the end of the line as she continued, “I made your favorite bouillabaisse, so I’ll heat it up for you and wait for you to come back. You can have it as your midnight snack.”
Hearing that, the middle-aged man chuckled. “Thank you, honey. I know you’re the best to me.”
The strong affection of words could be heard through the phone, and this triggered some memories in Gavyn’s mind.
He used to have such a great wife once. No. Aylin was far more gentle and kinder than that woman.
Every time Gavyn worked overtime, Aylin would always send him food in case he forgot to eat. Sometimes it would be celery soup, and sometimes, it would be key lime pie. She was like a warm
spring breeze that could silently warm someone up.
However, now, Gavyn couldn’t even touch her anymore.
Looking back at the driver, he was about forty or fifty years old with a medium build. He was nothing special, but he was able to stay with his lover till death did them part.
Gavyn was touched by the scene but felt a surge of annoyance. When the driver hung up the phone and was about to get into the car, Gavyn just waved his hand and said, “Nevermind. I want to walk by myself. You can go back now.”
The driver was confused and didn’t understand why Gavyn would suddenly change his mind.
“B-But I’m already here…”
After that, Gavyn took a handful of bills from his wallet and handed them over without counting. “This is compensation for making you come all the way.”
Originally, the driver wanted to refuse, but Gavyn was determined, so he had to accept it. I met a kind and rich man today.
“But Sir, I have to say, it’s not safe for you to walk alone since it’s already so late.”
However, Gavyn was unbothered. “I know what I’m doing.”
He felt that the little alcohol he just had was not enough to make him lose the ability to protect himself, not to mention that this was New York. No one would dare touch him here.
Seeing how unbothered Gavyn was, the driver could only thank him and left.
After that, Gavyn left his car behind and walked across the bridge alone as the evening breeze rustled through his thoughts.
There was a small path past the bridge, and the alcohol had numbed Gavyn’s keen attention and vigilance. All he could think about now was his relationship with Aylin.
There was a burning gaze in the corner, looking at him, but Gavyn didn’t notice it until his vision turned black.
Someone had wrapped a gunny sack around his head, and a vicious force hit the back of his head. Gavyn blacked out completely after that
