Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 221 - Kabanata 230

Out of habit, I took my phone over. I noticed a few missed calls, all from Colin.I patted my forehead and wailed internally.It had been almost an hour since I returned, but I forgot to inform him.I felt a numbness on my scalp. I wanted to call Colin to let him know I had returned safely, but I was worried it might be too late. So, I quickly messaged him instead.After Helen was done with her daily exercises, she stood by the window to drink some water and rest. In a doubtful tone, she said, "That man has been loitering downstairs for quite some time. He seems familiar. I wonder if he's someone's admirer."I leaned over and curiously took a look. Soon, I was stunned, and there was an inexplicable emotion rising in my heart.Of course, he looked familiar. It was Colin.Had he been standing there? Was he so anxious that he came over and waited for me downstairs because there had been no news from me?My guilt deepened. Because of my negligence, Colin had come to look for me thi

At that moment, I felt like a carefree child again. I put down the guitar and jumped up and down, brimming with happiness.Felix was also affected by my emotions. We laughed and shouted like fools. Holding hands on the balcony, our happy voices echoed far and wide.As I faced the floor-to-ceiling glass on the balcony, a figure suddenly appeared.Colin was standing under the sunset, still wearing the clothes he had on the night before. He was carrying a big shopping bag that had become dusty from all the travel. He appeared tired, with slightly messy hair.I wondered how long he had been standing there."Colin!" I excitedly ran to the window and waved at him.After thinking about Colin all day and night, I finally felt relieved when I saw that he was safe. He had driven out very late last night. I was worried about him having an accident due to fatigue.I was uncertain about my feelings toward him. But above all, I wanted him to be okay. The thought of him getting hurt or being

But why did Colin look so depressed and alone?With Colin in mind, I stopped practicing the guitar. I planned to inform Hannah that I would be taking my leave.When I opened the door of the balcony and walked into the room, I noticed how lively it was. Everyone was hard at work, practicing. A charming junior was passionately reciting poems while gesturing appropriately. Seeing these people's efforts, I couldn't say that I wanted to leave early.As a senior who had cleared the postgraduate admission exam, I should lead my juniors by example.All I could do was go back to practicing the guitar. Before I could do that, I saw Felix sitting on a chair with a gloomy expression. He was continuing to play the guitar.I practiced until 6:00 pm. My proficiency in playing the song improved significantly. My arms hurt and felt sore because I hadn't worked them out in a long time.To avoid the tragedy of going too far, I told Felix to end our practice. I then tried to call Colin to make an

Felix, who had been following behind me and whom I had deliberately ignored, was unable to stand motionless much longer. That was why he finally spoke up. It was a pity that his goal was to shatter my heart rather than educate me. I was unable to dodge his hurtful words.It would've been fine if he hadn't said anything. I could then act as though he never existed. Once I went into the apartment, he would leave and go on his own way. We wouldn't need to get involved with each other.But he insisted on speaking and even spoke in a tone that sounded like he was mocking me. It triggered my rebellious streak, making me want to lash out at him with the foulest insults imaginable. I wanted to make him feel what I was going through.Unfortunately, I never learned any curse words from my parents. Since I never had the chance to acquire such an ability, I couldn't vent my bitterness and anger well."Are you jealous? Rather than spreading rumors behind people's backs, you ought to work on i

Despite what Lilac might believe, I had nothing to do with Felix. Naturally, I was not worried about her causing me problems.If I had been more shameless, less self-respecting, and more unscrupulous, it was hard to say what the outcome would've been. Would Lilac have succeeded in getting together with Felix back then?Simply put, I had never given it any thought.Felix's persistent actions throughout the last several years, particularly in the last few months, gave me the impression that he liked to pursue the one he couldn't own.Lilac was naturally nervous after hearing my cool-headed remarks and realizing I had no intention of explaining.I didn't know her well enough, after all. I had no idea that her resentment and anger could cause me such severe pain and nearly ruin my life afterward."Luna, don't keep pretending to be innocent," Lilac said gloomily as the conversation came to an unhappy end. "You know best whether you're acting innocent. Don't blame me for being cruel
