I'm Your Sister, Brother Chow novel Chapter 63

It wasn't like he was stupid either. It was clear from Chow's reactions these days that he indeed felt something for Vivian.

However, it wasn't until today that he realised Chow's feelings for Vivian were so deep-seated.

Chow himself probably wasn't even aware of how deep his feelings were, let alone Vivian.

...

Raylan frowned as he looked at his best friend. The slight in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Instead, he spoke to him in a grave, sincere voice. "Chow, take a good look at yourself right now. Are you sure that this possessiveness of yours is caused by your hatred for her?"

Chow hadn't expected Raylan to face him with this kind of attitude instead of refuting him.

It felt like he was trying to burn down a lake. No matter how much gasoline he used, the water just kept absorbing all the fire, and he was unable to show the full extent of his wrath.

His gaze darkened.

For a very brief moment, Chow found himself wanting to agree with and follow Raylan's line of thought.

However, he found himself panicking almost immediately, making him push away all thoughts on that matter.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Just stay away from her in the future. I will tell my servants not to let you in anymore if I'm not home."

In any case, Raylan's attitude managed to dampen the fire that had been threatening to combust between the both of them.

Chow released Raylan after he was done talking.

Looking at the current tense situation, Chow didn't feel like continuing the exchange between them both.

Before Chow turned to walk away, he still commented in a rather disdainful voice. "Is that woman really worth the both of us fighting with each other? I never thought that she'd still be capable of seducing you while under my watch."

Raylan suppressed the anger in his chest and whipped around. "She is not that kind of woman and she has never seduced me. Chow, don't you think that you're being too judgemental? This isn't fair to her. She's just an eighteen-year-old girl after all."

Chow sneered and challenged Raylan's gaze. "Didn't you know that the b*tch seduced Dylan Howard when she was only sixteen years old?"

He didn't even need to say her name out loud for Raylan to know whom he was referring to.

Raylan was at a loss for words. He sighed helplessly. "Actually, I just wanted to let you know that Vivian—"

He wanted to tell Chow that Vivian was behaving rather out of character recently and that he should keep an eye on her, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted rudely. "That's enough. I don't want to listen to anything else you have to say about her. This is the last time I'm going to tolerate you getting close to Vivian. Don't blame me if I do anything rash to you the next time this happens again."

These words were spoken in a very light manner.

But the fierceness in his eyes made others believe that he meant every single word he said.

He wasn't going to tolerate anyone getting close to that woman, even if she was "worthless" in his eyes.

...

Chow glared once more at Raylan before walking off in the direction where Celine had disappeared to.

Raylan let out a huge sigh as he watched Chow's retreating figure.

He really didn't know how long it would take Chow to finally realise his own feelings for Vivian. Raylan had had no intention of stealing Vivian away from Chow in the first place.

He had just been provoking Chow to make him come to that realisation by himself a little quicker.

Still, why was it that he felt so helpless whenever he thought of Vivian?

Could he really withdraw himself from everything and watch quietly from the sidelines?

"Dr. Gordon, what are you still doing here? Did your dinner date cancel on you?" A girl's voice suddenly interrupted Raylan's thoughts, snapping him back to reality.

After Raylan came back to his senses, he realised that the little nurse from before had already changed into her everyday clothes and was walking over towards him.

He quickly put on his usual smile and nodded slightly at her. "I just saw someone I knew and we chatted for a bit. I'm going back now. See you tomorrow."

"See you," she replied rather longingly and reluctantly.

Unfortunately for her, Raylan didn't even notice how she was feeling.

He turned around and closed his eyes gradually.

For some reason, the scene of Vivian stammering and stuttering with him and the sight of the stranger on the motorcycle just didn't sit well with him. He kept thinking about them all afternoon.

There was something amiss with Vivian.

In fact, he had been repeatedly trying to tell Chow about her, but he kept getting interrupted each time.

He had wanted to tell Chow to go home and see what was up with Vivian.

However, given the current situation, even if he had really told Chow about it, he wouldn't be focusing on what he had to say.

Raylan was sure that Chow would accuse him of obsessing over Vivian instead.

To add to that, he knew that he shouldn't even mention the man on the motorcycle to Chow.

Otherwise, with how sensitive Chow was, Vivian would definitely have to suffer unnecessarily for that.
