Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

“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. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

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.

As for what had happened between Felix and I, it was really nothing to do with the two of them.

To put it more accurately, neither Felix nor Lilac had done anything wrong. They just wanted to live the

kind of life that they desired.

What about me? What had I done wrong?

Why was it that I could find reasons for everyone’s innocence yet could not redeem myself?

Perhaps the old saying was right. The one who fell in love first was always destined to be at a

disadvantage.

But I would not allow myself to be weak forever.

Outside, Felix was clearly unable to control his own emotions. His voice grew louder and louder, and every word hammered into my eardrums.

“I don’t understand why you have to keep emphasizing how great Luna is. Mom, I’m your son. Why can’t you see things from my perspective? The person I like is Lili, and I’ll only be happy if I’m with her.

“No

matter how great Luna is, she’s just a neighbor. At most, she’s like a little sister. I don’t like her. I don’t like her now, and I won’t like her in the future either. Mom, don’t force me to turn against Luna.”
