Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 

“Luna is indeed a great woman. She’s talented, beautiful, well–mannered, and gentle. But she’s too clear–headed and cool. Are you sure you can win her over?” 

“To be honest, I’m not sure. She’s been my dream for over seven years. But I won’t give up as long as there’s a glimmer of hope.” 

“Matthew, I mean no offense. I’m happy you’ve found a woman you truly like. But can you tell if what you’re feeling now is persistence or true love?” 

I couldn’t make out Matthew’s response. 

They returned to the table and left me to linger in the corridor for a long time. 

Love across different social classes wasn’t simple. I naively thought courage would lead to results. Yet, there were so many insurmountable challenges between him and me. 

It wasn’t even ten when we went back. I sat in the car, sulking and silent. 

Matthew carefully observed my mood and asked why I was unhappy. 

I didn’t want to hide my thoughts from him, so I asked, “Matthew, if your family doesn’t approve of us, what will you do?” 

Matthew’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. His gaze on me was passionate and firm. He said, “Lulu, as long as you give me enough confidence, I’ll persevere to the end. I like you, and no one has the right to stop that.” 

His words were skillfully crafted.

He was truly a businessman. His words were carefully chosen. 

If every word between spouses had to be weighed and measured for perfection, where would happiness find its place in such a marriage? 

That person said I was clear–headed. Matthew 

He had disappointed me. 

as clear–headed too. 

I was a bit lost, unsure of my current feelings for him. I wanted to be close to him and to be with him. Yet, he disappointed me repeatedly, making me hesitant to make any promises

lightly. 

“What if your family forces you to choose between being the heir and me one day? What would you choose?” 

Matthew’s expression turned serious. He focused on the road ahead. After a minute, he answered, “I won’t let such a situation occur between us.” 

His hesitation showed that he hadn’t made his choice between me and the position of heir. To put it further, he might have already made a choice but didn’t want to give up the other 

one. 

After all, everyone hoped to have the best of both worlds. 

My heart grew colder.
