Chapter 45
Upon hearing Layla’s words, Gavin was taken aback.
His gaze turned stiffly toward his aunt, Kris.
Although Kris was his aunt, she was almost the same age as him!
His mother was the eldest daughter in the Conor family, so she was Kris’s elder sister.
Kris was his mother’s youngest sister in the family.
She was born almost in the same year as Gavin.
Later, when Gavin learned about this, he couldn’t help but marvel at his grandfather’s vitality.
Kris and Gavin had grown up together from childhood.
Moreover, Kris had once been the most beautiful woman in Brookspring, her figure leaving nothing to be desired.
Even though Kris was covered in wounds, Gavin had a way to heal them.
This…
He had to bathe Kris himself? How could he do that?
After all, he was a strong young man!
“No! Absolutely not!”
Gavin instinctively shook his head in refusal.
On the other side, Zoe and Layla naturally understood Gavin’s thoughts.
They exchanged a glance, both showing a helpless look.
Layla tried to persuade Gavin.
“Gavin, don’t forget, when you were a child, you used to bathe with Kris all the time!”
Gavin’s face blushed at the mention of this.
He still remembered the memories when he was a child. Kris used to pester him every day, even going so far as to join him
in the bath. He recalled how she would undress and climb into the tub with him, unfazed by his nudity.
However, that was when they were children!
Gavin cleared his throat and said, “Layla, as you said, that was when we were children. We’re all grown up now!”
“That’s right!” Layla said matter-of-factly.
“You weren’t shy back then. Why are you suddenly shy now, Gavin?”
Well, it would be strange and concerning if he became less shy as he grew up!
