Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Another apology.

If I could forget everything after accepting his apology, moralities and laws would be meaningless.

His belated apology was pointless.

I wanted to ignore him. However, after thinking about it, it seemed unfair that only Colin and I were. uncomfortable. I should make him feel the same. So I responded, “You should apologize to Colin.”

I wouldn’t forgive them lightly.

Maybe Colin would keep his grievances in his heart and choose to forgive them because they were his blood relatives, but I didn’t want to see him suffer.

Felix was discharged from the hospital before the New Year.

In Southsville, New Year was significant. Some families who couldn’t gather during the New Year would choose to get together before then.

My parents had decided to celebrate the New Year in our new house as a celebration of moving.

As we still had a few things to move, Mom and I came over to pick up the last batch of stuff the morning

before the New Year while Dad was cooking at home.

I pasted hand–painted advertisements for houses for sale on the glass.

The New Year was almost here. It was customary to avoid moving during the New Year. Thus, the home- selling procedure might be slow. However, there was no rush. Someone would purchase our house sooner or later. We didn’t need the money right away and could afford to wait.

I put the items in my backpack, stood at the door, and glanced back at the house where I had lived for nearly two decades. The past passed through my mind, dissipating like smoke and never returning.

It was over. I’d move on.

When Mom and I came out after shutting the door, we heard audible conversations outside the corridor.

We’d have to meet them even if we didn’t want to. What a coincidence.

Mom looked at me helplessly. I only shrugged. Since we couldn’t avoid them, we could only accept our

fate.

After all, we didn’t do anything wrong. Why should we be afraid of them?

Aunt Mel was excitedly saying what she would cook for Felix. She soon appeared embarrassed when she noticed us standing at the entrance.

Colin walked at the end and was stunned when he saw me. Then, he pursed his lips unhappily and gave me a resentful look.

I raised my phone toward him while he made a funny face in response.

To avoid laughing out loud, I turned away and silently snickered. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Felix’s

pale and grim look.

“Hello, Aunt Harper,” Felix greeted Mom.

He was under Uncle Austin’s support and seemed in good spirits, but he was still skinny.

Mom nodded lightly, then quietly waited for them to enter.

The corridor was narrow. We couldn’t get through if the Whites didn’t move.

Aunt Mel said, “Harper, what are you… Ah, Felix was discharged from the hospital. I’ll cook later. Let’s

have a meal together.”

Mom sneered and responded without looking at her, “We dare not accept your invitation. Do you want to

get in? If not, please don’t block the way. We’re leaving.”

Aunt Mel flushed when she saw the house sale advertisement on our door. She wanted to say something

but couldn’t when she sensed Mom’s coldness and alienation.

She probably thought she didn’t have anything to say by this point.

“Give me your bag, Aunt Harper. I’ll take you there.” Colin took the bag from Mom, held my hand, and led

us outside.

When we passed Aunt Mel, I noticed her lips trembling. She seemed to want to stop Mom. In the end, she didn’t dare try anything. She just leaned to the side, leaving a way out for us.

“Mom, Dad, I’ll send Lulu and Aunt Harper home. I won’t be back for lunch.”

There was silence behind him. No one spoke.

Colin didn’t care, either. His original intention was to inform his family of his whereabouts. It didn’t matter

whether anyone responded.

He put the backpack into the trunk and opened the backseat door for Mom.

After helping Mom into the car, he saw that I also wanted to sit in the back seat, so he grabbed my arm

and stuffed me into the passenger seat.

Mom pretended not to see it, giving Colin and me time to chat.
