“Bro, I replied that I would go home for a marriage alliance.”
Hailey Lewis’s soft voice was particularly clear in the quiet late night.
Austin Lewis on the other end of the phone finally felt relieved when he heard these words, “Did you finally break up with your little boyfriend? After being together for so many years, he never agreed to come back and meet me and our parents. I knew all along that you two wouldn’t work out.”
Upon hearing her brother’s confident tone, Hailey lowered her eyes and softly responded.
“I was wrong before, and I will handle things here as soon as possible. Please arrange the wedding matters for me, and give me halt a month’s time.”
“You don’t need to worry about the wedding, we will take care of the preparations. You just need to come back on time. The partner for this marriage has been carefully chosen by me and my parents. Their family background, personality, and appearance are all excellent, and they will definitely meet your expectations.”
“By the way, when you come back this time to get married, remember to invite someone for me, my best friend Bryan Reid from before. You went to Northvale to study at university before, and you even stayed at his house for a while. You really owe him a lot for taking care of you back then. This time, remember to invite him to come to the wedding with us.”
Hailey didn’t know how to respond to this statement
She remained silent for a long time before responding in a low voice.
“He couldn’t p
go.”
No sooner had the words been spoken, the door was pushed open.
Hailey quickly hang up the phone and looked up at Bryan Reid, who had just returned.
He raised an eyebrow, and on that face full of rebelliousness, a bold smile appeared
“I couldn’t go? Couldn’t go where?”
My wedding.
Halley told him the answer in her heart.
But her face remained calm, and her tone was also indifferent, “It’s nothing.”
Bryan didn’t care either, casually undoing the buttons of his black shirt, “Just now, were you talking to your brother?” Hailey nodded and got up to go back to the bedroom, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
The scorching breath. fell on her e ear,
and the ambiguous atmosphere surged between the two.
Did you tell him what our relationship wa
Hadley smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes, “You didn’t want him to know, right?”
“It’s not that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t. Knowing your brother’s temperament, it he found out that his best friend and his beloved sister were together, he would probably fly to Northvale overigly and beat me up so badly that I couldn’t get out of bed”
Listening to his joking tone, Halley’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice remained calm, “So, in your heart, am I your girlfriend?”
Upon hearing her sudden question, Bryan raised an eyebrow and said, “Not a girlfriend? I have been living with you for six years, haven’t I? Not a girlfriend? I hupped you as soon as I came back, didn’t I? Not a girlfriend? I do these things for you?”
Speaking, those warm lips mushed against her neck, and Hailey’s body instantly tensed up. She quickly turned her head to avoid the kiss and said, “1.1 don’t feel well today.“”
Bryan thought she was shy and couldn’t help but laughs, “Girlfriend, we’ve been together for so long, why are you still so shy”
Alter speaking, the rubbed her hair and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
listening to the fading sound of footsteps, Hailey murmured and repeated it again.
Cirlfriend?
Shouldn’t it have been a substitute?
Halley first met Bryan eight years ago,
Chapter 1
He and Austin were college roommates, and because they had a good relationship, Austin would occasionally bring him home to play games together.
In her youth, when her heart was just beginning to blossom, almost at first sight, she fell in love with her aloof and lazy, yet incredibly handsome, brother.
Later, she graduated from high school and Bryan also graduated and returned to his hometown, Northvale. Because she missed him, she secretly applied to the university in his city, despite her family’s objections.
Because she was attractive, she was constantly harassed by a lot of troublemakers in high school. Worried about her being alone in a different city, Austin entrusted her to his good friend Bryan and even let her stay in his apartment…
At first, the two of them had no connection. She was busy with school, while leyan was busy with racing and dating, changing girlfriends almost every three days.
Until the second semester of her fr
freshman year, Bryan would come hack drunk, and she would frantically take care of him.
It was late at night, and she looked at the person who seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa. She raised her hand, almost involuntarily, wanting to smooth out the wrinkled broys and closed eyes,
As our skins touched, those tightly closed eyes suddenly opened
Bryan casually lifted his eyelids, his voice lazy and magnetic,
“Do you
you like me?
After her secret was exposed, Hailey stood up with a start and said, “No, no…”
The man chuckled casually, “Don’t like it? Then why does y
your face turn so red every time you see your brother?
Hailey didn’t expect that he knew about every time she peeked at him. At a loss for what to do, the man smiled and held her chin, pressing a gentle kiss on her lips
She was trapped in this gentle and lingering kiss, unable to extricate herself.
After a passionate night, Hailey’s once peaceful life underwent a complete transformation.
Bryan, like a wanderer, seemed to have settled down and focused on dating her.
She also repeatedly refused the requests from her father, mother, and brother to return home for an arranged marriage, insisting on staying in Northvale, by his side.
Every time her older brother would always ask her, “Who is in Northwale? Why haven’t you come back in those six years?”
