You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Grayson forcefully pushed her away. "I made it clear to you long ago that I don't feel romantic love for you! What day and age do you think this is? What makes you think you can gaslight me into marrying you with your virginity? Have you forgotten that I am a doctor?"

As a doctor, he had witnessed countless bodies. How absurd was it to talk about virginity and purity with a doctor? To him, the body was merely flesh and bones. What could truly accompany him for a lifetime was a soul that resonated with his.

In the past, he had feelings for Ann because she had cared for him when he was sick as a child. Naturally cold and averse to social interactions, he had very few relatives and friends, so only a number in his family provided warmth.

Each person was precious to him. He cherished the warmth from his childhood and had always considered Ann as family. His brothers all criticized her, but the image that stuck in his mind was her gentle presence when he was sick.

Grateful for that affection, he trusted her, supported her, and hoped for her happiness. But what did she do?

She betrayed him, schemed against him, and resorted to despicable means to force him into marriage. How could he possibly marry such a woman? Just because they were intimate, he was expected to marry her?

In that day and age, people still used such an outdated method to arrange marriages. It truly astonished him. Ann had successfully severed the last trace of his feelings for her with the most repulsive means possible, and he never wanted to see her again.

With disgust, he glanced at her and walked toward the door.

"Grayson, where are you going?" she exclaimed in panic. "Grayson, you can't leave!"

Her body was her last asset, and marrying Grayson was her last lifeline. How could he go?

"Grayson, don't walk away. I beg you, Grayson. I only have you!" She rushed over and hugged him, her cheek pressed against his back, tears streaming down her face. "Grayson, you're all I have! Don't you love me? Let's get married, I beg you. Let's do that!"

She was losing her sanity. She had calculated for so long, thinking he would marry her as long as she had sex with him. Despite considering countless possibilities, she never expected him to reject her.

How could he possibly do that? Among the four Hart brothers, only Grayson treated her the best.

Grayson always listened to Sebastian, but for her sake, he disregarded Sebastian's objection and let her live in his house, taking care of her in every way.

Grayson clearly loved her! She had always believed that if it were not for Sebastian's interference, she and Grayson would have been lovers and eventually married. She never expected that when given the opportunity, he completely abandoned her and grew disgusted with her.

At that point, she had never been so terrified. Even when she was despised by Sebastian and abandoned by Philip, at least she still had Grayson, as well as the means and confidence to make a comeback.

He was her only bet, but now, even he wanted to abandon her. Without him, she had nothing. She had lost everything…

Grayson forcefully pushed her away, turned around, and looked at her expressionlessly. "I'll say it one last time—I don't love you! What I feel for you is familial, not love. But now, you have severed the family bond between us. From now on, you and I are strangers. I will pretend that I never knew you!" After saying that, he quickly strode away.

"No! Grayson…" Ann screamed heartbreakingly, wanting to chase after him, but was halted by the police.

They stood before her. "Please come with us to the station."

"Get lost, all of you, get lost!" She frantically attacked the officers.

The police did not want to use force against her, but she struck first. Hence, they had no choice but to use handcuffs and invite her there.

On the other side, when Carlisle met up with Madeline and Leigh at the police station, he persuaded them to head home. Lawyering was his area of expertise, and Madeline, a businesswoman, and Leigh, a doctor, would be of no use waiting around.

The two of them listened to the advice, with Madeline returning to Sun Garden and Leigh returning to Oasis Law Office.

After Madeline put Quincy and Joel to sleep that night, she finished bathing and returned to her bedroom. Before she could lie down, her phone rang. It was a call from Leigh.

She answered the phone and put it to her ear. Before she could speak, she heard Leigh laughing hysterically on the other end of the line.

"Leigh, have you been drinking again? Are you going crazy?"

"Not at all." She laughed for a while before gasping for breath and saying, "Maddie, have you heard about the lovers-to-enemies trope?"

"What?"

"The lovers-to-enemies trope!" Leigh laughed even more joyfully. "Hey, Maddie, did you know? Grayson and Ann did it!"

Madeline was confused. "Did what? Leigh, you said you aren't drinking. A human language, please?"

"Oh, why are you so slow?" Leigh pouted. "A man and a woman, alone together; Ann has been eyeing Grayson. They did something. What else could it be?"
