The Unfathomable Depths Of Love

Yvette Wilson had a crush on her brother’s friend.

He was six years older, so she kept it to herself and stayed cautious.

One night, she could not hold back anymore. In the dim light, she leaned in and stole a kiss while he was drunk. She had just turned to run when she saw his eyes snap open.

He looked at her with a lazy expression. “You want me to teach you how to kiss? Too bad. I’m not into little girls.”

Her face turned red, but she still found the courage to speak. “So you think I’m too young? That’s fine. I’ll grow up.”

Henry Lawson paused for a moment and then smiled. “Alright. If you still like me when you turn twenty-two, I’ll think about it.”

At that moment, Yvette Wilson’s heart was pounding. From then on, she stayed by his side every day until she turned twenty-two.

She could not wait to see him and claim his promise. But at the door of the private room, she heard a baby crying.

She froze for a moment, then looked over carefully. Henry was holding a crying child and trying to calm the baby down.

The guys around him all covered their ears and looked completely tortured.

“Henry, that’s just too far! You brought a baby just to reject that girl and make her think you’re a dad?”

Yvette felt her heart go numb. Her mind went blank.

“What else was I supposed to do?” Henry said in his familiar lazy tone. “She turns twenty-two today. She’ll be here to claim that promise.”

“You really don’t like Yvette, do you? She’s actually very nice. She’s pretty, sweet, and completely smitten with you.”

“It’s not about whether I like her or not.” Henry’s voice grew serious. “You all know who has always been in my heart.”

The room went quiet for a moment, then everyone burst out laughing in understanding.

“Sophia! No wonder… You’re just overthinking. With a face like yours, who wouldn’t fall for you? How could Sophia say no? You just care too much.”

“I never knew how to say it all these years. I was afraid that if I told her my feelings, we would lose our friendship. And now with Yvette, it actually gave me a chance.”

Henry smiled as he said, “I told Sophia that there is a girl who keeps hanging around me, and I don’t know how to get rid of her. I want her to be my fake girlfriend for a while. Then, I’ll show up with her and the baby in front of Yvette and hold a wedding. That way, Yvette will give up, and Sophia and I can grow closer. When the fake wedding is over, I’ll confess to Sophia right then and there.”

When they heard Henry’s plan to kill two birds with one stone, everyone was impressed and started banging the table in approval.

Amid the laughter, no one noticed Yvette standing outside the private room.
