Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

He lowered his gaze and said something to the guy at his table before striding toward me.Colin was indeed tall, and his imposing figure was something I hadn't noticed before.Felix, on the contrary, wasn't short. He stood over six feet tall and had a handsome appearance. He was elegant, slender, and fair-skinned. He usually kept to himself and carried a distant demeanor, making him seemingly out of reach for everyone.However, Colin had broad shoulders and a robust physique. Even in a shirt, one could see his well-defined muscular lines beneath.His thick eyebrows and distinctive features provided a strong sense of security. To be frank, he was a rugged man that any girl would want to rely on.He was really tall, around six feet and three inches. At five feet and seven inches, plus a slight slope, I barely even reached his shoulders."I was just about to welcome you," Colin said with a smile."Colin, did you grow taller again? You're so tall." I regretted the words as soon as t

Life was monotonous, yet not devoid of charm. The unsettling emotions from the summer gradually eased over time. Even during moments of leisure, thoughts of Felix would cross my mind. I would find myself retracing the 19 years we spent together, recalling the silent affection I harbored for him.However, it remained mere contemplation.Each reflection brought a bitter tinge, a profound sadness that I forced myself not to dwell on. I convinced myself that we were just neighbors, nothing more.I believed that my fondness for him would diminish with each passing day, and I would eventually feel better.Meanwhile, Colin continued to feed me as a daily ritual. No matter where I was or what I was doing, he would promptly arrive to whisk me away for a meal.Over time, I grew familiar with Colin's friends, and due to his influence, they all affectionately referred to me as Lulu. In Colin's absence, each of them took turns caring for me.I felt a sense of ease and comfort with Colin by

"She's your brother's girlfriend and will be part of your family in the future. Don't tell me you don't know," I said with a dismissive snort, not believing him for a second.Colin picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth and set it down, his eyes shimmering with an unreadable light. "Don't joke about this. You and Felix have been betrothed since childhood. He could never have another girlfriend in his life. Lilac Hawthorn, what a tacky name."I looked at Colin's innocent face, suddenly at a loss for words. He never bothered with lies. He genuinely didn't know about Felix and Lilac's relationship.The idea that Felix and I were bound to be together for life had been deeply embedded in the minds of everyone who knew us.It was like that time during our senior year in high school when I stood at the front of the classroom, explaining that Felix and I were merely neighbors. However, no one would believe our journey had already reached its end.More precisely, Felix and I never even sta

Wanted to control me the moment we met? Dreamed on. I wasn't her typical accommodating boyfriend."I'm tired," I said, not even glancing at Lilac.Given what she had done in the past, it was already quite generous of me to have gone and picked her up.And now she expected me to cater to her? No way.She watched me as I got into the car emotionlessly and left her standing there, her anger palpable. I pretended not to notice and continued to ignore her.In the end, she had to load her suitcases into the taxi's trunk herself.I couldn't help but wonder why she had brought three massive suitcases for a mere one-month exchange program. After all, she wasn't even staying permanently at the Marlmiwi.It made me question the necessity of carrying so many suitcases, especially when Felix wasn't even present to see her all dressed up.Later, I discovered that I had overthought the situation, and there were indeed people who paid attention to her outfits."Luna, you've been here for ov

I had just finished preparing the competition draft, and it turned out even better than expected.I was quite satisfied with it and was about to show it to Colin when my phone rang."Colin, I was just about to call you. The draft is ready. Do you want to take a look?" I asked."It seems that we think alike, Lulu," he remarked, his voice carrying a touch of charm, much like the comforting warmth of nighttime light.I pursed my lips, pondering why Colin appeared somewhat flirtatious.But no, that couldn't be right.He had watched me grow up and had always treated me like a sister. I had to be overthinking."So, Colin, why are you calling me so late?" I asked."Do you want to take on a project? It's a great opportunity," he said."Do tell me, but I'm not sure if I can do it.""A classmate of mine is looking to create a photo album to commemorate his grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. "He intends to capture their decades of memories and present them to his grandparents on
