Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 

“Luna, I’m not telling you this to upset you. I just want to share. I like him so much. Why can’t he see it? Especially since you appeared, he won’t even give me a second glance. Do you think I’ll never win him over in this lifetime? Should I give up?” 

I was put in a difficult position. How was I supposed to respond? 

If I said yes, it would inevitably hurt Helen. I didn’t want to become the Lilac of the past, nor did I want Helen to become the me of the past. 

If I said no, I would only make things difficult for myself. It’d be like shooting myself in the 

foot. 

Matthew was a suitor I wanted to give a chance to. He was a former high school classmate who grew up with me and had liked me for many years. Encouraging Helen to continue pursuing Matthew would be absurd. It would also hurt Matthew’s feelings. 

“Well, I think you need to decide for yourself. It’s difficult for me to comment on this,” I 

said with some difficulty but absolute sincerity. 

“Hmph, what’s so hard about it? You don’t like him, yet you’re holding onto him. Either way, it’s unfair.” 

I was speechless. 

I hadn’t fallen for Matthew yet, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t in the future, right? 

Besides, I had agreed to consider him, which meant I was prepared to accept Matthew. The fact that he had an admirer as excellent as Helen made me feel insecure. 

They said childhood friends couldn’t compete with a fateful lover. But to Matthew, I was both a childhood friend and a fateful lover. I wondered what the outcome would be. 

At least I was certain that once Matthew and I became a couple, I wouldn’t tolerate him having a childhood friend with whom he shared such intimate moments. 

Not only was Helen troubled, but I was somewhat troubled as well. What a mess! 

The next day, I talked to Matthew about this. By the end, I mentioned how childhood friends were especially dangerous in romantic relationships. So–called childhood friends had ruined many couples. 

Matthew seemed overjoyed. “Lulu, you’re finally getting jealous over me. Looks like my

years of unrequited love weren’t in vain.” 

There was another party in the evening. There were dazzling lights and overflowing wine. The private room was shrouded in mist and the smell of alcohol. 

It was too lively for my taste. I habitually went outside for some air. 

The club’s private rooms had a long corridor outside. It was a separate space. I felt that leaning on the railing and breathing in fresh air was much more comfortable than staying 

inside. 

When I was about to return inside, I saw Matthew and a friend of his sitting on a couch near the terrace door. They were talking about me. I halted my steps. 

“Matthew, are you planning to settle down?” 

“Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it for many years.”
