"I love you, Winnie. Your sister Lottie is nothing more than a substitute for you. You know what? Whenever I'm sleeping with her, I will imagine that I was with you..."

I'm Lottie Hendrix, naively holding onto the belief that my boyfriend, Lewis loves me.

It took me a year to figure out that he is only with me because of my resemblance to my sister, Winnie Hendrix.

To get back at him, I didn't just limit myself to openly flirting with all his friends; I even went on to date his uncle, Alfie.

Being the Mate of My Ex's Uncle

　　Ever since I returned from seeing Alfie, my spirits have been high. As the expression goes, if you keep pushing, eventually you will be successful. After putting in so much effort I am starting to get a sliver of optimism.


　　I sat in the garden eating strawberry tarts and berries, enjoying the way the sugar melted on my tongue. The walled garden was lush with plants of every shape and size - flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruits all grew together in one space like one large garden salad. As I watched the day unfold around me, I came to a realization that this man seemed to lack nothing. Even after finishing two whole plates I couldn't think of anything to exchange with him.


　　For a moment, I didn't know if he was really giving me a chance or if he was trying to make me give up and completely solve his problem. Perhaps he felt that life was incredibly beautiful without me bothering him for a week.


　　I don't know why, but thinking about this made me feel bad.
