Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 

I sighed internally and made sure that I did not show it on my face, pretending as if I saw nothing. 

Since I couldn’t reciprocate Matthew’s feelings, I shouldn’t give him hope. I should always make this clear between us. 

Mom was confused but shrewd enough to notice the change in the general mood. She chose silence. She took my bowl to the pantry, out of this tense atmosphere, to wash it.. 

As soon as Mom left, Helen came in with plenty of bags. 

I supposed she didn’t expect Matthew to be there. When she saw him, she became anxious, nervous, and surprised. She lingered by the entrance, unsure if she should enter or give us privacy. 

I beckoned to her with my hand and invited her in. 

Then, I asked Colin, who was sitting opposite me, to sit with Matthew on the side. Helen would take his seat. 

Helen was an outgoing woman. Although she viewed me as a love rival, we were still very close. She freaked out when she heard that I was involved in a car accident and rushed over 

to visit me. 

She craned her neck to look at my bandaged left arm before uttering, “I went to check out the scene of the accident. There was a long skid mark. Luna, you’re so lucky to have survived that. Where’s the hero? Is he okay?” 

I wanted to answer her question, but Colin was one step ahead of me. “His condition has stabilized. If everything goes well tonight, he’ll be transferred to a normal ward.” 

Subsequently, Helen used all the vocabulary she learned in school to describe and commend Felix’s selflessness. In her words, he was valiant and brave, with a heart of gold. 

I didn’t want to interrupt her, so I could only glance warily at Colin’s face. He was becoming increasingly annoyed. 

He snuck to my side in secret and looked down. His hand was massaging my unwounded arm -an act to declare his ownership of me. 

Matthew was avoiding my gaze. He only stared at his feet. 

Shortly after Helen arrived, Matthew claimed that he had a business dinner later and wanted to leave early. 

I understood why he wanted to flee. The woman he loved and the woman who loved him were both present. Besides, he also had to face a formidable love rival–Colin. If I were him, I would leave too to save myself the embarrassment. 

“It’s raining outside, Matthew. Why don’t you give Helen a lift? I wouldn’t want her to go back on her own this late at night.” 

Matthew froze mid–opening the door. He didn’t say anything but stopped and waited for 

Helen. 

“It’s fine. I drove here. I’ve gone home way later than this after a fun night. Don’t worry about me.” Helen waved her hands frantically.
