Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 

After bowing several times, the applause gradually subsided. 

As we left the stage, Felix took my hand. 

The moment our fingers touched, I instinctively pulled back. It seemed Felix had anticipated my reaction as he immediately tightened his grip, solidifying this act of holding hands. 

Since knowing Felix for 22 years, this was the first time we genuinely held hands. And this happened under the watchful eyes of thousands, in a manner where I was reluctant but he was forceful. 

The Luna Lawson from before she turned 18 might have eagerly anticipated such an act of holding hands with the dream of her youth. But the Luna Lawson of today only felt resistant. 

Yet, faced with so many onlookers, I couldn’t just pull my hand away. Doing so would not only damage Felix’s dignity but also lead to all sorts of speculation from those countless 

eyes. 

I simply accepted the situation after finding no way to withdraw my hand. 

It was just a collaborative performance. It was pure, open, and honest. There was nothing shameful about it, so why avoid him and let people speculate? 

Once we were backstage and the curtain had shielded us from the audience’s view, I quickly withdrew my hand. I shook it uncomfortably. 

Felix, who had been smiling just moments ago, immediately turned frosty. He seemed to be gritting his teeth when he said, “It’s just holding hands. Do you need to make such a big deal 

out of it?” 

He’d always been presumptuous, thinking that everything he did was without fault. He never considered if his actions would put others in difficult positions or lead to 

consequences. 

He was like this five years ago and remained unchanged today. 

Indeed, a leopard couldn’t change its spots. He was probably born with this personality and wouldn’t change no matter who the other party was. 

I lost any desire to stay any longer after this hand–holding incident. 

As I was leaving, I ran into Hannah. 

Felix was following not too far behind me. 

But she was blocking me, saying that everyone had agreed to celebrate after the successful performance. They wanted to have a big party as a reward for the many days of rehearsal. 

My involvement in the performance was merely due to Hannah’s persistent coaxing, while Felix being my co–performer was just an accident. 

Every time I thought about interacting with him, the scene from our senior year Thanksgiving would automatically come to mind. 

I had always been resistant to be with him. I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, but I just didn’t want to face him. 

This collaboration forcibly tied us together, and I had been feeling uncomfortable every day. More importantly, I was bothered by the high probability that Lilac would cause trouble for me. I’ve had enough of her antics over the years.
