Semua Bab Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Bab 961 - Bab 970

The snow was heavy, covering the ground like a thick blanket.The orange streetlights cast various shades of color onto the pure white snow, making it seem as if fine snowflakes were still drifting through the air.Inside the car, soothing music was playing, and a faint scent of jasmine lingered in the air. Leaning against Colin's shoulder, I looked at the flickering lights that seemed like the memories of the past years. The bad ones were like darkness, which were best to be forgotten, while the good ones were like light, so they should remain along with time.The car stopped near the hotel's gate, which was still about a hundred yards from the lobby.Winter in Denville was astonishingly cold. Once we stepped out of the car, the icy air froze my cheeks, making it difficult to breathe. The cold quickly penetrated my thick coat through the collar. I pulled up the hood of the coat and tightened the collar before quickly dashing toward the lobby. The snow beneath my shoes squeaked wit

I could guess why Queenie didn't want to attend the gathering. So, I told Colin I wanted to accompany Queenie.Besides, most of those attending would be the guys who would just eat and drink, and I didn't know many people there. It was pointless for me to go. My presence might even make them feel awkward and unable to fully enjoy themselves.Colin teased me, saying that I would rather skip a gathering to become a third wheel for the couple, wondering what I was thinking. But, he didn't insist that I attend the gathering.However, Wesley was having none of it. He said that almost everyone who used to hang out together had come this time, so he didn't want anyone to miss out on this rare reunion, especially me. He insisted that I should attend, reminding me how they had treated me like a younger sister back then. And if I didn't go, it would make them feel like they had failed as big brothers.I didn't quite understand what he meant, but his sincere invitation touched me. I remembe

But Wesley, being a bit thick-headed, didn't take my words seriously or understand my intentions. He shook his head regretfully."Speaking of which, Flynn wasn't bad to you. He really cared about you, and those punches of his were powerful. It's a pity, though. Time waits for no one. I was always envious of how good you two were together. Shame. It's such a shame that such a loving couple couldn't make it in the end." He sighed dramatically like it was the biggest regret ever.Seriously, why did he bring that up? Everyone had the same thought, but what was the use of saying it out loud? Him and his big mouth!If he weren't a few years older than me and if the setting were different, I would've kicked him. He was so tactless.I grabbed a small orange nearby before shoving the entire thing into Wesley's mouth without peeling it. He choked so hard on it that his eyes rolled back. At least it stopped him from talking for a bit.I never realized before that this guy could be such a c

Women were always the ones to initiate conversations. Upon hearing this, Jasmine subtly glanced in Colin's and my direction, only to quickly look away. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and somewhat shyly replied, "It's almost ten full months now. The due date is just a few days away. After the baby is born, I'll invite you all. Whatever you want to eat, I'll have the best arranged for you." People around her immediately responded. It was so awkward it was painful.Meanwhile, I felt as if a heavy, wet blanket was smothering my chest, making it difficult to breathe. I struggled to move my gaze away from her large belly."Did she get married?" Queenie asked me."I haven't heard anything.""Neither have I. So, where did this baby come from?""No idea."I had no experience with what a full-term pregnancy looked like, but judging by Jasmine's waistline, it was evident she was quite far along. Based on Jasmine's claim of being ten months pregnant, the baby must have been

If she dared touch what was mine, she had to be prepared to face the consequences.I took a sip of juice and suppressed the churning feeling in my stomach. Just as I was about to speak, Queenie couldn't hold it in any longer. The moment she opened her mouth, her sharp tongue lashed out like a knife."There's some truth to that. Even if Lulu doesn't care, she won't stoop to arguing with a dog. What's the saying again? Right! You don't bite the dog that bites you. It makes sense, no?"Flynn, who had been lounging lazily since the beginning of the meal, was taken aback by Queenie's words. His eyes quickly flashed with surprise before darkening to an unfathomable depth.This was probably his first time seeing this side of Queenie."Queenie, this has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved. You're the dog!" Jasmine, finally losing her fake smile, was infuriated after being insulted.Being called a dog in front of so many people was indeed humiliating.The few people who had been t
