Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 271 - Kabanata 280

"Stop this and sleep, Colin. Be nice," I coddled in a hushed voice, forgetting that we had company."No! I want kisses. Kisses!" His lips puckered up to kiss me. Scared, I mustered all my strength and pinned him back onto the bed."Be nice now, Colin. I don't like the smell of alcohol. I'll let you kiss me when you're sober, okay?"When I finally soothed Colin and remembered Felix, he had already left.Through the half-open door, I saw an orange light flicker in the dark on the balcony opposite us.When did Felix come back? Where was Lilac? Why was Felix here? Why did he care if Colin and I were dating? What did he want?I couldn't find an answer, and just like that, I fell asleep.I guessed I was an easygoing woman.I was roused by something warm in the middle of the night. As I opened my eyes, I realized that I was on the bed. Sleeping next to me was Colin, who had changed into his pajamas. His slender hand grabbed me by my waist so that I was sleeping in his embrace.Heat r

"You're right, I should cherish what I have now. I'll help you and care for you like a good friend, but I'll save all my love for Lilac. She made a lot of mistakes for me. Therefore, I'd like to apologize to you once more."I'll keep her in check in the future, and I hope you can forgive her. You don't have to if you don't want to. She doesn't deserve your forgiveness, after all."Goodbye, Lulu. I wish you happiness."After reading the text messages, I felt so relieved.Happy days with Colin flew by in the blink of an eye. Soon, it was already New Year's Eve.My school gave us three days of holidays for New Year's Eve. Lilac said she needed to see her family, so she'd be returning to Northpool with her mum on the morning of December 31st. Felix drove her to the airport.During New Year's Eve, those who did not go home all dressed up for the special occasion.Colin and I agreed to have dinner before heading to a theme park. Then, we'd head to the square for the countdown.Before

Felix wiped away the bloody mess on his face and got up with Colin's assistance. He couldn't take his eyes off Lilac, who was crying while hugging Shawn.He didn't shed a tear when he was beaten to a pulp, yet his eyes turned wet when he saw the woman he loved weep for another man.Felix picked himself up groggily. There was no light in his beautiful eyes.Looking at the despondent Felix, I only had one word to describe him—dejected.Suddenly, he laughed as he looked at the hugging couple. His voice grew louder and louder until it turned maniacal. "Karma. This is karma."The area before the motel was filled with his hollow and soulless laughter.It was karma, indeed.When I still had feelings for him, he stomped on them. And when I gave up on him, he felt devastated. Now that he had decided to do Lilac right, Lilac tossed him aside and showed indifference toward his injuries.As usual, people took what they had for granted and only regretted it when it was gone.In my opinion,

Felix smiled bitterly, followed by a prolonged silence.His parents came at night. When Melinda saw that Felix was bandaged from head to toe, she burst out in tears. She kept saying that she had known Lilac would break his heart one day and that Felix had it coming for choosing her. Meanwhile, Austin began chain-smoking in the corridor.Despite her discontent, I was sure Melinda must be upset that her son was in so much pain too. Her chastising was just a way of showing how much she cared.Colin and I went out to get some food and let Melinda and Felix have some time alone.As it was New Year's, restaurants were closed as many went home to spend time with their families. There were no take-out options either. Colin and I walked for a long while before we found a fancy restaurant and got some takeaway there.When we returned, we saw Melinda, with her back against the corridor, reproaching Felix."If only you saw what I saw in Lilac! Lulu is so nice. She loved you, yet you chose

"And for a very long time, I couldn't sleep without taking sleeping pills."Lilac is a sensitive person. We fought many times, and she asked if I regretted rejecting you. I told her no. I told her that we were nothing but a past story, and in the future, I'd only love her. Now and forever."I lied to her and to myself. When she asked if we could rent a place near the college, I said no almost immediately. Because I wouldn't be able to face you. On the one hand, I missed you dearly. But on the other hand, I allowed Lilac to bully you."On her birthday, we had agreed to celebrate it together. Then, we ran into you and she insisted on inviting you along. She was the one who came up with the idea that you should find a boyfriend. And I went with it."I thought that maybe I would give up on you once you were taken. Then, I could devote myself to Lilac. But when I learned that you began developing feelings for Colin, I was devastated. I went to confront you stubbornly. "I thought you w
