Semua Bab Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Bab 981 - Bab 990

Felix chuckled and found the light switch, flicking it on. "How could you be so clumsy?" he teased but then asked more gently, "Is your foot okay?""It's fine. This is my first time witnessing and participating in a proposal ceremony. It's such a joyous occasion that I'm too happy to care about a little pain. Besides, it didn't really hurt me, so no worries," Hannah replied cheerfully.Everyone burst out laughing at that."Lulu, today is the happiest day I've had in seven years. You're now part of our family, and Colin has finally found the woman he loves. It's simply wonderful," Aunt Mel said, wiping her eyes until the skin around them turned red.She continued, "I did a lot of terrible things back then, and you and Colin suffered because of that. I wish I could make up for it with my life. For the past two years, I've lived in fear, worried that my actions would keep you two apart. If that had happened, I'd never be able to forgive myself."Aunt Mel raised her head and looked at

Seeing me lying there in my birthday suit, Colin's gaze deepened like the depths of a fathomless lake."I'm a little cold," I said, reaching for the blanket to cover myself.Colin swiftly pressed himself against me, his kisses raining down on me like a storm battering a sailboat lost at sea. We spent the night wrapped in each other's arms, and only at daybreak did we find rest.I was awakened by the sound of fireworks on the day of Mardi Gras. Colin was already up, bustling around the house shirtless and preparing something in the kitchen that filled the air with a delightful aroma.My body ached from the night's exertions. I felt too lazy to get up, so I rolled around in bed.As I opened my phone, a flurry of notification chimes filled the air, all from friends and classmates sending their Mardi Gras greetings.It was then I realized that the day before was not only the day Colin proposed but also the eve of Mardi Gras. We were so caught up in our emotions that we forgot to cele

That evening, I returned home in a sour mood. Colin noticed immediately and asked what was wrong. I recounted Nico's refusal to co-author the paper. Colin seemed unsurprised, reminding me that Nico was simply that type of person, and there was no need to insist."But how can that be okay? The lab's success is largely due to Nico's efforts. It's not right for him to lay the foundation only for me to take the credit. If he refuses to co-author the report, I simply won't publish it," I said, pouting in frustration.Colin couldn't help but laugh at our predicament. He likened us to two overly studious individuals with a curious affliction—one stubbornly refusing to co-author the report, the other relentlessly insisting upon it. Any other person would have taken the opportunity to claim all the credit, but we were pushing it away.In truth, it wasn't about pushing credit away but rather about fairness. We had agreed from the start that any success would be shared between us. I was unwa

The Taylor Group was primarily an architecture company. Joining them would only limit our growth and potentially waste our skills.Ivan expressed regret at our decision and left his business card, assuring us that there would always be a place for us in the company if we ever changed our minds.A week before my viva, the college held a special commendation ceremony for individuals who made significant contributions over the past decade.Colin and I were among those honored. That day was one of the highlights of my life. As I walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and spoke to the thousands of lecturers and students below, their thunderous applause made me feel elated.The speech lasted about five minutes. Just as I was about to step down, I saw Colin approached with a bouquet of bright red roses. His eyebrows were relaxed, and his sparkling eyes were smiling, making the mole at the corner of his eye stand out vividly.The lights dimmed, leaving only a few spotlights that

Colin was so furious that he was about to explode. He was struggling to keep his composure. I could hear him grinding his teeth as he said, "Jasmine, let me say this just once. There was never a question of me wanting you. In my eyes, you are no different than scrap paper on the roadside."His words were harsh. I could barely listen on, but they suited someone like Jasmine perfectly.I thought that with these words, everyone's knowledge of her past actions, and the basic decency a mother should have, Jasmine would realize we were being merciful and would back off.The world was huge. She shouldn't be clinging to Colin, who had no feelings for her. She should find someone who truly belongs with her.However, Jasmine wasn't like the rest of us. Her thoughts didn't align with ours. In fact, her thinking was entirely abnormal."Colin, it's fine if you don't want me, but what about our baby? You wouldn't abandon our baby, would you? He is yours!"The crowd erupted in shock.Colin was
