Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

“That’s enough. It’s pointless.” Felix’s tone was annoyed. “I’ll say this for the last time, Mom. Luna is, at most, only a sister to Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

me, though not by blood. I will never have romantic feelings for her as long as I live. I’m going back inside. You can work on this yourself.”

I crouched outside the fence, crying while thoughts ran through my mind. I really needed to get rid of this eavesdropping habit.

I thought I had shielded myself enough, but the moment I heard Felix say that he would never like me romantically and that he only wanted to marry Lilac, my tears fell uncontrollably.

If he didn’t want me, then I didn’t want him either!

I told myself again and again–I needed to get over Felix for good!

It had been several days since I’d seen Felix. I quietly enjoyed my vacation time without interruption.

Felix ‘came knocking on my door Saturday afternoon. I didn’t really want to see him. What happened the last time he was here still remained fresh in my memory. But Mom quickly opened the door and asked

what he was there for.

Felix peered in past the door to look inside. I was splayed out on the couch watching a TV show,

laughing my head off.

I never dared laugh out loud in the past, no matter how happy I was, nor lay on the couch in a mess like this, all because Felix once said that he liked demure girls. Afterward, I tried my best to appear ladylike

so he would pay more attention to me.

Now that he and I had nothing to do with one another, nor did I need to consider his likes and dislikes, I

could be more relaxed again. I could be myself.

Felix’s brows seemed to furrow briefly when he saw me. But they then loosened immediately. With a

smile, he told Mom he wanted to invite me out for a barbecue.

Mom hesitated briefly but still let him into the house to talk to me.

“There’s a new barbecue place on Agave Street. They have really good cuts of meat and sauces. Get

dressed. I’ll treat you,” Felix said.

I lay there unmoving, save for the shaking of my head. “I don’t want to go. It’s too hot outside.”

In the past I would’ve been overjoyed it Felix had invited me out. I liked him before, after all.

But after all that had happened. I just wanted to stay away from him whenever I could.

Plus, in the past year, accidents seemed to always happen whenever he and I were together. Things got so unlucky for me that Felix might as well be jinxing my life.

thad just recovered from the cliff incident. I didn’t want anything else to happen and end up in the

hospital again.

No matter how much Felix insisted, I continued shaking my head and refusing to go out with him.

Must come out with me. Think of this as an apology for what happened last time.”

“Why do you need to apologize?”

“Lili was wrong the other day. She’s afraid of conflict, so I’ll apologize on her behalf. This barbecue

serves to prove how genuine I am.”

Felix really had changed a lot ever since dating Lilac. He barely talked in the past, especially when it
