“Edward, don’t you think you’ve gone too far?” Patrick looked at the man in front of him.
They were twins, born of the same mother. But from the start, he had always come up short compared to Edward.
Because of his extraordinary talents, Edward had won the favor and love of every elder in the Jenkins family.
Naturally, he inherited the family’s legacy when they grew up.
As for Patrick, he was just a spendthrift playboy.
Many envied him, but few knew the truth.
More often than not, he was consumed by jealousy and hatred for Edward.
Yet beneath it all, shadowed by lifelong insecurities, he feared Edward to his core.
This conflicting turmoil kept him restless and sleepless.
“If I remember correctly, that night you lost her to me.
“But you never showed interest in women–you don’t even like them. I thought you wouldn’t touch her. You would think she’s filthy!”
Patrick refused to admit it.
That night, he deliberately gave Michelle up to Edward.

It was more about humiliating Edward.
He grew tired of women, but Edward secretly coveted them.
Did Edward really think he wouldn’t notice?
From the moment Edward laid eyes on Michelle, his gaze changed.
They had been brothers for over 20 years.
That was the first time Patrick saw Edward’s eyes linger on a woman.
He even glanced twice at her legs.
That was when the absurd idea formed in Patrick’s mind. He wanted to humiliate the brother who always towered above him, using a girlfriend he had grown bored with.
It would be thrilling.
But he never expected that a man with such an extreme cleanliness obsession as Edward would actually touch Michelle.
And he never imagined that the night Edward took her away, he would lie awake, restless and distracted until morning.
That night, he had fully intended to go through with it, but in the end, he pushed her away.
All he could think about was whether Edward had touched Michelle the same way he just had.
Did she react differently?
Would she be able to tell it wasn’t him?

That thought tormented Patrick, making him anxious and irritable.
At dawn, he returned to the Jenkins’s residence.
When the maid told him Edward had left the house at 6:00 a.m., just like before, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he saw Michelle come downstairs, marked with kisses, shyly and sweetly teasing him for being too rough and hurting her, he felt a murderous rage rise up inside him.
He had been with many women before.
When parting ways or giving them away casually, he never once felt soft or reluctant.
He thought Michelle was no different.
But in that instant, he suddenly realized she wasn’t.
From the beginning, she had been unlike anyone else. He had forgotten that Michelle was the only woman who stirred his heart at first sight, and whom he seriously pursued afterward.
He had seriously underestimated how much she meant to him.
