Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Kabanata 941 - Kabanata 950

I shrugged, refusing to stoop to the same level as a lunatic. "Mr. Taylor, I'm here to retrieve the document. Sorry for the intrusion."Ivan had wasted enough time with Jasmine. He smiled courteously at me and uttered, "The document is ready. Do you want to come in or should I bring it to you?""It's quite far from here. Could you please bring it to me? Thank you.""Sure. Give me a moment. It won't be long." Then, he headed to the door, leaving Jasmine behind. I wasn't going to talk to Jasmine, so I continued to admire the peach blossoms, ignoring her."Are you here to assert your dominance before me?" accosted Jasmine.I couldn't understand Jasmine's logic. Did she think that everything in this world revolved around her? I had a lot of work to do. I did not have time for that. Besides, why should I assert dominance? Was she a threat?"I don't need to," I replied.Jasmine fell silent and shot daggers at me. She looked at me scornfully as if I had just jumped into the ocean with

I wonder what Flynn felt when he heard that. Upset, perhaps. Things changed constantly in this world. His regret and pain were the by-products of his selfishness and incompetence. Meanwhile, Hannah's persistence paid off.While Felix and she had not announced their relationship to everyone on social media, Felix now allowed her to hold his hands. He walked home with her and would bring her an umbrella when it rained. He even carried her to her dorm on her back.And on a peaceful and tender night, he kissed her on the lips. Without Lilac, Felix had become a better person. Colin was very happy to see the change. He invited them for dinner many times, but the overwhelming work got in the way. The hangout was delayed until no one brought it up anymore.Before we knew it, it was already Independence Day. We made amazing progress in the mural project. Our mothers called us many times and asked us to return to Southsville during the holidays. They said that if we refused to come back, they

So the Whites came here with an agenda. No wonder Felix followed me shamelessly—he was part of the plan! I bumped Colin's leg with mine and asked him silently if he was aware of this plan too and had been hiding it from me. Colin fed me some prawns and mouthed "I have no idea" to me.I then asked him what we should do now. He told me to stay put and observe. I lowered my head and chuckled sneakily. It was supposed to be a normal conversation, but we made it all cryptic like spies exchanging intel. We had to read lips.After Uncle Austin delivered the speech, he downed the liquor. Aunt Melinda followed suit quickly. She even showed us her empty glass to prove that she chugged everything, leaving nothing behind.Bringing up the past dampened my mood a bit. Just because I didn't think of it didn't mean I had forgotten about it. The incident hurt me a lot, so the mere act of recalling it was painful. It was difficult to forget it. Dad and Mom were so mad back then. They even decided n

It was the festive season, and the get-together somehow turned into an apology fest. Everyone's mood was dampened, and both mothers were crying. I sulked. Couldn't we just have a meal happily? Did they have to apologize during the meal? Couldn't they do it after the meal?We couldn't let the delicious food go uneaten! Right when I wondered how I should liven up the atmosphere, Hannah rolled her sleeves and intervened. She was an outgoing and bubbly girl—the kind of person who was best at becoming the life of the party."Uncle Austin, didn't you say you came here for two reasons? You've apologized, and Uncle Gerald and Aunt Harper accepted it. What's the second reason? Are you giving us a gift? I sure don't mind a gift." She clasped her hands together and put on an expectant expression. It cracked Felix up.Aunt Melinda knew that Hannah was trying to save her the embarrassment. She graciously accepted the help, wiped away her tears, and patted Hannah playfully. "Come on, you. It's no

And judging from Aunt Melinda's gesture, it had to be a heavy item. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to lug it."Lulu, this is my gift from you. Tell me if you like it or not. Once you accept this gift, you're part of my family. That will put Austin and my mind at ease."She made it sound like once I accepted her gift, I would be branded forever as one of the Whites. And from then onward, no one could claim it anymore. Well, I wasn't going to see anyone else anyway. My life belonged to Colin and Colin alone.Aunt Melinda placed a huge red rectangular box before me and asked me to open it. But how was I supposed to open it? If I opened it, it meant I agreed to the engagement proposal and to join the Whites. I hadn't given them my answer yet.Besides, Dad and Mom also hadn't said anything so far. It was too early to accept this gift when nothing was set in stone. It seemed like the Whites were very impatient with how this kind of thing worked. I looked at Dad and Mom. This was my marriag
