Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 481 - Kabanata 490

When the group arrived home, it took everyone more than an hour to settle Queenie down comfortably in the guest room. Feeling perhaps safe in a familiar environment, she fell asleep rather quickly.Laura went to brew her something delicious and nutritious while Andrew and I sat on the couch in silence.Recalling the image of Queenie collapsing on the floor, I first felt fear, then I cried. I cried and cried.I felt terrible for Queenie. She was such a sweet girl, but she was done wrong by Flynn. He was a jerk. Not to mention that baby who didn't have a chance to see this world. The baby deserved all the love in the world. But due to her irresponsible father, she had to leave her mother.I felt guilty and stupid. Why didn't I notice that Queenie was pregnant? Why didn't I take better care of her?If she was sent to the hospital a second later, she could have died."Andrew, Queenie is a very sweet girl. But she isn't lucky. You—"I wanted to tell him that while Queenie used to dat

Colin pinched my back to silence me before I could retaliate. Then, he replied politely, "Lulu is my girlfriend. You saved my life, so I'm sure she doesn't mind helping you.""Your girlfriend?" Jasmine lifted her head to scrutinize me. Then, she looked down and mumbled the word "girlfriend" to herself incredulously, or perhaps, resentfully. "Colin, didn't you tell me back then that you regarded her as a younger sister?"Colin tilted his head and chuckled. His slender fingers tucked a lock of hair behind my ears, and he caressed my cheek with his knuckles. Affection oozed from his gesture. "Back then, yes. To be more precise, I was trying to get closer to her to ask her out."When I was six, I swore I would marry her. Therefore, she'll be my wife. My only wife."As Colin uttered those words, the formality and politeness in his tone gave way to tenderness and affection. He looked at me with doting eyes until I blushed and my heart fluttered.I pouted and shot eye daggers at Colin. W

Andrew was shrewd. He looked at me and knew what I wanted right away. He uttered, "We all had a long day today. Besides, the food outside is often too unhealthy and oily for a recovering patient like Ms. Taylor. Let's not eat out."Laura has bought a lot of ingredients. Why don't I cook something for you? It'll be some simple yet heartwarming dishes. You won't mind that, will you, Ms. Taylor?"Then, he glanced at Jasmine. For some reason, it felt like he was looking at her with misgivings and contempt. Andrew took the words out of my mouth, so I raised my hand in agreement. Colin often indulged me, and he did not oppose the suggestion either.Besides, where I was from, we only invited those we held dear to dine with us at home. Inviting Jasmine to a home-cooked meal was the most polite form of treatment we could give her.Still composed and well-mannered, Jasmine said that dining together in the apartment felt cozier. However, her frown told everyone present that she was displeased

Colin rested his head on my shoulder and nibbled on my ears. His hot breath immobilized half of my body. Inside my mind, a voice kept telling me to give it to him.But… I couldn't say it out loud.Growing up, Mom taught me that girls needed to protect themselves and that we shouldn't offer ourselves to anyone recklessly. She also told me that even when in a relationship, we shouldn't lose ourselves.As a result, I was particularly conservative about this kind of thing. Even though Colin and I had been living together for quite some time, we had only kissed and hugged each other—nothing more.Since we were neighbors for more than 20 years, Colin knew about my family values. Therefore, he never forced himself upon me. He never coerced me into making a difficult situation. Instead, he held himself back time after time. "Give it to me please, babe. I've been waiting for you. I want you." Colin was holding himself back as he asked for my consent.Like always, he didn't want to put me

The dining table was square, so everyone sat according to their factions. Colin and I sat on one side; Andrew occupied one side alone; Jasmine and her men took another side.Right before I asked Andrew if he had prepared food for Queenie and when we could eat, she slowly walked into everyone's view with the wall as her support.Her face was pale, and her body was so skinny and frail that it looked almost skeletal. Without the wall, she might not even be able to stand upright. Worried about her safety, I wanted to get up to help her. But Andrew was ahead of me. He dashed to her side and carried her in his arms.Queenie struggled awkwardly for a while. But she was too weak to offer any resistance. In the end, she relented."Queenie, you're sick. Stay on your bed. You shouldn't be here," I told her earnestly."I'm fine. It's nothing serious anyway. We have guests. I ought to greet them. It's already very rude of me to appear this late."Queenie brushed her hair, trying to make herse
