Selena felt a sudden chill, and a strong metallic taste rose to her throat.

She forced down the nausea and held onto Gavin for support.

Gavin steadied her, but then he blinked in confusion, feeling dizzy himself.

He looked ahead, and in the next moment, he threw up.

Gavin turned back toward the table and saw the culprit—there was a dish with peanut sauce, and in his distracted state, he had eaten it.

He let out a frustrated chuckle.

What was wrong with him today?

He was allergic to peanuts, yet somehow, he'd let his guard down and eaten some.

It must have been because he was so angry at how the Horton and Olsen families were treating Selena.

Gavin understood that Selena had started the argument, and yes, he knew Kate and James weren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but he also sympathized with Selena.

To him, her mother's affair was only her mother's fault.

Selena was an illegitimate daughter, but she didn't do anything wrong.

And Selena had always been so gentle and loving toward him. He didn't think his family should be this hostile toward her.
