Chapter 377
Hearing Gilbert’s words , Halsey stopped struggling and obediently got into the passenger seat of the Ferrari .
Gilbert slid into the driver’s seat , his face dark with frustration . “ Are you really that curious about Dwight? ”
At first , she refused to get in his car , but for Dwight’s sake he had agreed .
Halsey looked up at Gilbert . “ Do you realize how strange you’re acting right now ? ”
Gilbert paused , taken aback .
“ I’ve already stepped aside for you and Sienna , ” she contined . “ Now she’s your girlfriend . She’s got great boobs and a tiny waist , plus she’s into dance . Isn’t that the type you like ? You should be with her . Why do you keep bothering me ?
Gilbert gripped the steering wheel tighter . “ L … ”
“ Gilbert , don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me , ” she said , a mocking glint in her eyes .
The sarcasm in her gaze hit Gilbert hard , and he couldn’t hold back his frustration . He scoffed , “ Get over yourself ! How could I ever fall for you ? ”
“ Good , ” Halsey replied coolly .
She didn’t want his affection , especially not now . Overdue love was worthless .
Gilbert realized his feelings were driven by possessiveness . After all , Halsey used to revolve around him ; and now , out of nowhere , she had shifted her affections to Dwight – His competitor . Of course , it left him feeling uneasy .
If Halsey was doing this to get his attention , then he had to admit she had succeeded .
Half an hour later , the Ferrari pulled up in front of a construction site . Halsey stepped out of the car .
She had never been to a construction site before , and the noise and chaos reminded her of Dwight’s living conditions .
She glanced around , and her little round – toed leather shoes accidentally sank into the mud , getting dirty all around the edges .
Gilbert looked down at her shoes . “ Your shoes are dirty . Want me to clean them with a tissue ? ”
Halsey shook her head . “ No. You said you were bringing me to see Dwight . Where is he ? ”
Gilbert nodded toward the front . “ Over there . ”
Halsey looked up and saw a group of workers in blue uniforms and yellow hard hats . Among them , one figure stood out – tall , cold , and strikingly handsome . That was Dwight .
He was working at the construction site .
Earlier , Alina had mentioned that Dwight worked multiple jobs every day , including at construction sites . It seemed she wasp lying .
Halsey watched Dwight , covered in dust and sweat , carrying a heavy bag of cement on his shoulder . He was focused on his work and hadn’t noticed their arrival .
Gilbert smirked . “ See ? That’s the guy you’re into . Why would you fall for someone like him ? ”
Halsey’s eyes followed Dwight as he lifted bag after bag of cement , his body bending under the weigh

paid according to the immer of bags he carried , and at the moment , he had already lifted nine logs , his back hunched slightly under the heavy load .
Halsey turned to Gilbert . “ Let’s go back . ”
Without another word , she began walking away .
Gilbert was thrilled , knowing that once Halsey fully understood who Dwight was , she would realize the relationship was impossible .
“ Now you see , Dwight is not the right person for you . You shouldn’t be with someone like him- ”
“ Gilbert , ” she interrupted , her voice steady , “ I’m leaving now because I don’t want to disturb Dwight . He has his pride , and I hope you’ll respect that too . ”
What ?
Gilbert froze ; he thought Halsey had lost interest in Dwight but instead , it seemed she was protecting Dwight’s pride delicately .
