Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

I was hesitating when my finger accidentally swiped the screen lock. Felix's voice rang out clearly from the phone."Open the door, Luna." His voice was as proud and dictating as ever.I used to admire him in the past, never seeing any issue with the way he talked. In fact, I thought that was how Felix should be—proud, cold, observant. When he was no longer the center of my world, I found myself feeling uncomfortable hearing him talk like this."What?" My tone wasn't pleasant either because of how much I disliked him."I'm here to see you because I'm worried about you. Aunt Harper wouldn't let me see you. I noticed that she had left earlier, so hurry up and let me in!""My wound is still hurting. I can't get up." I was actually right by the door, peering through the peephole. I could see the hint of impatience on Felix's face.If he was impatient, he should have left. It wasn't like I invited him here."Get up slowly. I'm in no hurry. I can wait right out here. I'll go in whenev

"I'm sure you don't know this, but Felix does. We grew up together and have known each other for over a decade. "I feel like I was an accidental baby while my parents are the ones in love. Their relationship is super strong. They'd never take advantage of one another's unfortunate situations. "Plus, I'm the only child in my family, so I get all the good things they give me. I don't have to worry about anyone fighting over that with me."I knew how to be a bitch, too."You misunderstood me, Lulu. That's not what I meant. Felix was worried about you, so I accompanied him to visit you. I really mean nothing else. You're overthinking it."Maybe my words struck a sensitive point. Lilac's eyes were brimmed with tears. She gnawed on her lip, looking aggrieved as if I had bullied her.I was recuperating at home. She shouldn't have come in the first place if she didn't want to see me.I could understand that Lilac was jealous of me because of my past history with Felix. Nearly everyone

I scoffed angrily. Was this still the Felix White I had known for 19 years? He had no conscience and such misguided principles. He was a jackass!When did I provoke Lilac? When had I ever given her an attitude? What other made-up offenses were he going to pin on me?This bitch deserved Felix the jackass!"I really don't know what to say about you, Felix White. You have a brain, so why don't you go back and think things through for yourself? "I'm tired of talking to both of you. Kindly leave my house. Thank you for visiting, but I'm afraid I must decline your kind gesture. Now, please leave!"Felix pulled Lilac by her hand and left the house fuming. I was left alone in the large living room, standing there like an idiot.Before stepping out of the door, Lilac shot me a look. The glee in her eyes was clear as day. I wanted to scoff.Lilac was only so bold because Felix spoiled her.But I neither wanted to fight for his affections nor steal them from Lilac. It wasn't like Felix

Felix's implied meaning was basically—I'd dote on my girl no matter what, including taking the blame for her mistakes.In other words—come at me if you had a problem with her, not her!When I still refused, Felix began lecturing me about life values. It was irritating.So, in the end, I changed my clothes and went out with him.It was just a barbecue dinner. It wasn't like Felix could do any harm to me. If I insisted on not going, it'd only make me seem like I hadn't gotten over that matter.So I went!Mom gave me an umbrella before I left. She told me to come home early in a less than happy tone as it seemed like rain was coming. I had just recovered, so it'd be best not to get caught in the rain and catch a cold.Felix promised he would take care of me, which put a smile on my mother's face in return.I changed into a white dress and let my hair down. I then put on some light lipstick. Mom said my hair looked healthy and was most suited to be left falling down along my should

I would've caved in immediately back then.But when I grew up and knew what love really was. I would find that the me in the past merely caved in because I hadn't let Felix go.Felix spotted the minute changes in my expression and smiled. He grabbed my hand. "I never knew you could be such a wildcat. You're pretty amazing."Right? It also got me thinking. I was committed to being his lackey back then and listened to every word he said. I never got my time to shine, that was all.We didn't really talk much after that. I mostly listened to what Felix had to say.He told me about his life in university, his loving relationship with Lilac, and his plans for their future. He spoke of so many things and different people, yet never mentioned me.I couldn't help but wonder whether Felix actually knew what I was thinking or if this was his way of telling me to stop holding out for him.It wasn't really a pleasant barbecue.Felix really was cruel to tell the girl who had a crush on him f
