"What made you think that?" Gordan asked bluntly.

He cared about Vivian?

Unless Vivian turned into an absolute beauty one day, he would never care about her.

She was just an ugly woman. He was waiting for her at the neighborhood gate only because of the years they had known each other, nothing more.

"Really? Are you sure?" Gale raised an eyebrow, not easily fooled by his words. "I'm telling you, women are soft-hearted. If she finds out you're injured, she'll feel sorry for you. By then, won't it be easy for you guys to get back together or whatever it is that you want?"

"Who told you I want to get back together with her?" Gordan frowned, almost wanting to throw the lemon in his hand.

"Tsk, it seems that pretending not to care isn't just a woman's trait. Men are the same."

"Gale..." warned Gordan.

Gale shook his head and asked, "Are you going to deny that the woman you mentioned while drinking alone that day wasn't Vivian?"

Gordan was stunned for a moment as he recalled what happened that day.

He was drunk but still rational. He should not have mentioned Vivian.

"You're thinking about it, which means I'm right," added Gale with a knowing expression on his face.

"Even though you didn't say it that day, you were acting like someone who got dumped. Gordan, you might fool others, but you can't fool me or Rain," said Gale. He remembered what Rain had said after their barbecue that day.

Gordan probably cared about Vivian. His behavior was too unusual.

He could have any woman he wanted, but ever since divorcing Vivian, he had not had a single woman around him. He had become uninterested in them.
