Kendrix stared fixedly at Gary for a while before turning around. He took a random book from the bookshelf and started reading the book.
Gary laughed and said, "Mr. Trevino, I must've upset you. The book is actually upside down, so you can stop pretending that you're reading it. I don't think it's embarrassing for you to admit that you like my sister."
Hearing this, Kendrix slightly frowned.
Gary continued, "Although she's still a minor, she's still a beautiful young lady. I know you're a police officer and it's not appropriate for you to develop feelings for a minor. But you're a man too, and some men do like them younger. I understand this well and I promise I won't make fun of you over this."
Gary laughed wildly.
Kendrix looked at him coldly. He was not embarrassed at all. Perhaps his EQ was just too good to show his emotions.
Gary looked at Kendrix with a smile.
Kendrix calmly put back the book on the
bookshelf and picked another one.
He started reading the new book.
"It still doesn't make any difference even after you change another book. Just stop putting up the act already. I know you like my sister," Gary said.
"Why are you forcing this on me?" Kendrix still kept his composure as he asked.
"Didn't I tell you that I like you? Otherwise, I wouldn't even be wasting my time with you over here," Gary said naturally, "I'll be frank with you. I'm not like this with the others."
Kendrix glanced at him. "Are you saying that I should feel honored?"
"Yes." Gary nodded. "You should indeed feel honored."
Kendrix gave him another glance and said, "You and your sister are really alike. You love excusing yourselves."
Gary smiled and refuted, "That depends on the other party though. Some people would never let us excuse ourselves at all. Am I right, Mr. Trevino?"
Kendrix frowned again. Even a fool could make out that Gary was referring to him in that remark.
Kendrix was helpless at how obsessed Gary was with him.
Kendrix said, "If you continue to be like this, I'm afraid I'll only disappoint you."
"Mr. Trevino, it doesn't do you any good to keep refusing me either," Gary said, "I'd advise you to just listen to me and stop being the annoying guy."
"It seems like you don't like people like me?" Kendrix asked.
Gary nodded his head again. "You're right. I used to be like you, and now that I think back at it, you seem to be worse than me."
Kendrix's lips twitched. "You're really doing everything for your sister's sake."
"That's not true. I'm just telling the truth. I do want someone to take care of her, and that person just happens to be you. I will feel more comfortable if you're the one who takes care of her from now on. I can't just let any random guy take advantage of her, can I?" Gary stared at Kendrix as if he was trying to drive Kendrix crazy.
Kendrix was helpless too. He laughed lightly. "I have to admit that you're quite confident of yourself, and I wouldn't want to hurt your confidence either."
Gary smiled. "Then, don't do so. You can start by addressing me as your brother-in-law. I'll allow you to do this even before you marry her."
Kendrix was speechless. "I feel so honored that I don't know what else to say."
"I feel great to make a genius like you speechless too." Gary laughed again.
Kendrix could finally see that Gary was just the same as Sylvia.
It is a headache dealing with this pair of siblings.
Once they got obsessed with you, they would never leave you alone.
Kendrix pulled another book out from the shelf. He didn't want to talk more with Gary. He just wanted some time to himself and buy the reference material he needed.
Gary stood there watching him and making small talk with him without raising his volume.
