Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

Colin staggered backward and leaned beside the cement railing. He took out a cigarette box from his pocket and lit one. Taking a deep puff, he slowly exhaled it. "It may seem sudden to you. But I've been waiting for this opportunity for 20 years. You don't know how painful it is for me to love you," he said bitterly."When I first met you, you weren't one year old yet. You were small, sweet-smelling, and soft. Your eyes were also big and round. I was scared to break you, so I only reached out a finger to brush your face. You actually smiled at me. "I was only seven at that time and knew nothing. But your smile made me melt. At that time, I wanted you because I thought you were cute."Your smile was like a seed that was planted in my heart. It took root, sprouted, and became a little tree. I carefully nurtured it, fearing to hurt you in any way. "When I was ten, I told my mom I wanted to marry you. But she told me that you were engaged to Felix before you were even born and lect

We ate lunch at my favorite stew restaurant.I sat face-to-face with Colin while waiting for my food. Whenever I looked up, I would meet with his passionate eyes. Then, I would blush and lower my eyes to scroll on my phone. However, I didn't manage to catch a single word on the screen.It was already half past 12. The food came quickly as there weren't many customers.The stew here was known for being hot and spicy. Fearing I would get scalded, Colin scooped out some stew into a small bowl and placed it before me. "Be careful. It's hot."I dug into my food. Although the stew was still as delicious as before, I couldn't eat it happily as I felt weird around Colin. Thus, I ate with small bites.Colin looked at me teasingly for a while. It was obvious he wasn't used to seeing me acting prim and proper. Thus, he clinked the bowl with his fork. "Be natural. You don't need to act in front of me. I love and want the side of you that's fearless and free."I tilted my head and thought for

My phone buzzed with a new notification, "Good afternoon, Lulu. I'm looking forward to the day you make my dream come true."I felt my face burn. Colin was flirting with me again.Not only was Colin a talented artist, but he was also a good flirt. He would go straight to the point when flirting. As someone who had never dated anyone before, I couldn't compete with him.After pondering for a while, I decided to send a message to my mom. I wanted to know about my parents' opinion about something so important."Mom, is it normal if I date someone six years older than me?""It's normal if the guy is older than a woman but not if it's a woman who's older." My mother's reply was quick.My wise mother even considered the gender of my future partner."If it's my ex's brother, is that still okay?"My mother's reply came two minutes later. It seemed that the question was a bit difficult for her. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Talk. Did something happen between Colin and you t

After Hannah saw that we had finalized the performance, she no longer had any excuse to force us to stay. In the end, she let me go reluctantly after saving my number.I left with the excuse of having something to do. I mainly didn't want to walk together with Felix. We had to keep a distance, after all.When I left, I heard Hannah's sweet voice asking Felix for his number so that she could contact him in the future. …When I had dinner with Colin that night, I told him about the orientation party. After hearing that I would perform with Felix and might have to rehearse with him, the smile and glimmer in his eyes disappeared.Colin forced a smile. "Do your best. You sing quite well. Everyone will definitely like your performance."I knew what he was worried about. Initially, I wanted to tell him that Felix and I would just be performing—nothing else. But I dismissed the idea after thinking for a while. If I really became Colin's girlfriend or even his wife, we would definitely s

Time had passed quickly, taking away our youth and memories. However, it couldn't take away my serene outlook on life.It was supposed to be a guitar accompaniment, but it was not much different from acapella singing. I wasn't really satisfied with the effect.Using one instrument for accompaniment could be monotonous, and the guitar might be overshadowed by my singing. But I still needed the guitar on the actual day of the performance. Incorporating the guitar was just a way to enrich the performance.Felix was a talented guitarist, and he hadn't stopped practicing over the years. He quickly got into the groove after picking up his guitar.He was still the same many years later. Once his fingers were on the strings, he would immerse himself in the music so deeply it was like he had traveled to another world. He plucked the strings with a relaxed posture, completely immersing himself in the music. The music flowed in the air like a stream.I suddenly felt an itch in my hands, an
