Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 7

I forced a smile on my face as I whined, "Mom, it's alright. I won't think too much about it! I also won't do anything silly in the future, so don't cry!"

Mom studied my face worriedly, trying to gauge whether or not I was faking my smile.

I couldn't look her in the eyes, so I could only excuse myself to get a glass of water.

Mom knew me better than anyone else, and I was sure she could see right through me.

As expected, Mom let out a deep sigh before she said, "Lulu, study well. In the future, you can find someone better … Well, you're such a good girl, I know you'll find the best man in the world. It's Felix's loss for not liking you. He will regret it."

I nodded as I held the cup tightly in my hands. As I drank, I could feel my sadness surging from within.

I had liked him for 18 years, so letting go was easier said than done.

I went to bed early that night. But despite my drowsiness, I could not seem to fall asleep.

By the time I was about to fall asleep, I heard the Whites arguing.

The walls in the building were quite soundproof, so I could only vaguely hear Aunt Mel's sobs, Uncle Austin's growls, and Felix's furious retorts.

I couldn't hear what exactly they had been arguing about. All I knew was that they argued late into the night until I finally fell asleep.

Mom and Dad could probably also hear them arguing but did nothing.
