I'm Your Sister, Brother Chow novel Chapter 55

Raylan's pupils dilated slightly as he smiled even wider. "If that's the case, then I won't attend the banquet tonight either. I'm sure that Chow wouldn't mind if I came over tonight, right?"

With that, Raylan managed to provoke Chow's anger that he'd managed to suppress earlier.

Chow let go of Vivian and immediately rushed over to grab Raylan by the collar. "What the f*ck are you trying to say, Raylan Gordon?"

Raylan didn't seem the least bit scared at all.

They'd fought with each other countless times since growing up.

Although they had both quit exchanging fists with each other since they'd matured, Raylan had that sudden urge to fight Chow now.

Raylan curled his fingers into a tight fist as his veins popped out. "Are you seriously going to pick a fight with me over a person you don't even care about?"

The chilling atmosphere started getting even colder than before. Chow glared angrily at Raylan and clenched his teeth.

"You're wrong. She isn't just a person I don't care about. She's the person I hate the most in the world. And you'd better stay the f*ck away from her if you know what's best for you."

Raylan challenged Chow's gaze and still managed to keep his calm. "Are you sure that she's the person you hate the most? Are there no other emotions involved at all?"

That was the million-dollar question everyone else wanted to ask.

Celine wasn't the only one whose body went stiff and rigid because of that question. Even Vivian also felt herself getting tense.

Celine, Vivian, and Raylan all looked at Chow, waiting for the answer.

...

Under everybody's heavy gaze, Chow finally answered in a loud, clear voice, spitting the words out one by one. "I only hate her. I hate everything about her."

Raylan immediately followed up with the next question. "So you hate her. Are you never going to forgive her for something she didn't even do? She shouldn't have to shoulder the sins of her parents. She never asked to be born. It's not her fault."

Chow suddenly turned around and grabbed Vivian in his arms, firmly pressing his lips against hers. This was his reply. 

The parking lot, which had been echoing with the sounds of their fighting earlier, suddenly turned eerily quiet once more.

Chow made sure that Raylan drank in the sight of him firmly kissing Vivian in his arms.

It turned so quiet that the only sounds left were that of their breathing.

Vivian stared blankly at the face in front of her in shock, forgetting to close her slightly swollen eyes.

She had never thought that Chow would kiss her right in front of Celine.

Vivian's mind went completely blank.

She couldn't believe that he was kissing her.

There was nothing else on her mind.

Thud!

A muffled falling sound broke the silence in in parking lot.

Vivian suddenly pushed Chow away and looked in the direction of the sound.

Celine had fallen to the ground in a dead faint.

Whether or not her fainting spell was real, it had successfully shattered the awkwardness around them.

Otherwise, Raylan would have had no idea how to respond either way.

The muffled thud didn't just attract Vivian's attention. At once, Chow let go of Vivian and rushed over towards Celine.

"Celine!" he yelled, a hint of anxiety in his voice.

However, no one would be able to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep. Similarly, nobody could wake someone up who was pretending to have fainted.

Celine was still lying on the ground, unmoving. Under the dim light of the underground parking lot, her face actually did look rather ashen.

This exact scene made Chow's anger quell immediately. A very similar scene from three years ago flashed across his mind.

Celine had also been like this, falling silently in front of him.

That was his Achilles' heel.

It was the actual reason why he had been unable to let go of this woman for so many years.

Chow picked Celine up from the ground and ran in the direction of his sports car.

Vivian watched his disappearing figure longingly, feeling her heart clenching in pain as she struggled to breathe.

As if she'd been bewitched, Vivian still called out after him. "Brother Chow..."

Hearing her voice, Chow immediately turned around to look at her.

The hatred in his eyes was plain for everyone to see. They were completely clouded in anger.

Vivian couldn't remember how long it had been since the last time she'd seen such hatred in his eyes.

The last time had been when she met Chow for the first time after Uncle Dylan and her mother passed away in the accident.

The people in the home had told her that this man would bring her home.

Vivian then realised that he was the angel in the snow who had extended a helping hand to her last time.

However, before she could even feel happy about meeting her angel again, she caught sight of the look in his eyes. He had been staring at her.

His eyes were cold, dark, and clouded.

There was also a hint of hatred in them.

Just like now.

Although so much time had passed, every time she thought of the scene from before, Vivian felt like her heart was completely frozen.
