Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23

“Luna, Lili’s timid and shy, so you’ve got to treat her well. Don’t disappoint me.”

I wouldn’t disappoint him, but he had really disappointed me.

We’d known each other for 19 years, and I was sure he knew very well what kind of person I was. But he was giving me an indirect warning in front of everyone as if I was some kind of sly, spiteful person.

I wasn’t that kind of person, but I was really disappointed.

I said, “Okay.”

Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel probably knew about Lilac’s family and were very unhappy about it. When

dinner started, they kept plying me with food while ignoring Lilac completely.

Lilac shrank back helplessly in her seat while Felix continuously comforted her in a low voice.

My parents couldn’t say much as this was the White family’s affairs. As for me. I focused intently on

eating and enjoyed the food thoroughly like the connoisseur I was.

This was the most boring dinner I had ever eaten.

When I had had my fill, I put down my cutleries and went out on the balcony for a breath of fresh air.

I didn’t want to see them being so in love, so the only thing I could do was hide outside.

The balcony was small and rather secluded as well. I hid myself there so that it would be difficult for

them to find me.

Not long after, light but hurried footsteps stopped outside the balcony. I didn’t want to be discovered, so I

inched inward soundlessly.

“Felix, are you out of your mind? What on earth is so good about that Lilac? Why are you so infatuated

with her? Once you graduate, you need to undergo security clearance if you’re going to work for the

government.

“Can you pass with that family background of hers? She can’t compare to Lulu in any aspect, whether it’s

her family background or her own qualifications. Why must it be her?”

I was startled It was

startled. It was Aunt Mel and Felix.

I really wanted to leave, as this was the White family’s private affairs, after all. It wasn’t appropriate for

an

outsider like me to know too much.

Besides, this was obviously eavesdropping. Even though I wasn’t doing it intentionally, it wouldn’t look good if people found out.

Unfortunately, the balcony was a dead end. I had no way to leave unless I jumped off of it.

Felix

ix was obviously head over heels for Lilac. He began recklessly arguing with Melinda in a low voice.

From what I could see in my position, Lilac was standing beside them, her hands clasped together helplessly as she watched them. She looked close to tears.

She was smiling, but there were tears in her eyes, and it made her look particularly weak.

There was a moment when, like an idiot, I began to feel sorry for this woman.

What wrong had she committed? What did her parents‘ problems have to do with her? She was just a girl who had met a man that she liked and wanted to be in a romantic relationship with.
