Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Felix placed the meat in his mouth and chewed.

I didn’t have much of an appetite. I ate a couple of mouthfuls of beef before stopping. I then waited for

him to finish eating.

My mind couldn’t help but wander off as I looked at Felix’s mop of blond hair.

I thought back about our time as troublesome little kids, how we spent our youth as teens, and everything.

that had happened between us for 19 years.

Felix stopped eating after getting full. He glanced at me and gave me a tissue to wipe my mouth.

He and I hadn’t been so close ever since that Thanksgiving incident. His gesture came out of the blue,

making me dodge quickly.

Felix paused before retracting his hand with a smile.

“We’ve finished eating. What do you want to tell me?” I asked.

“Why can’t I fight back? If her provocation is due to her low self–esteem, then does that mean I deserve to

be lectured here by you all because I defended my family? Are you blind, Felix White?”
