Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 550

It was nice to have a chat with an old acquaintance. Fortunately, I wasn't rushing for the restroom.

"Professor King brought me here," I explained.

He nodded and stared at me with his dark eyes for a moment before saying, "I heard you went through a lot some time ago. I'm sorry I couldn't help you or..." He swallowed the rest of the sentence and shook his head regretfully.

The unfinished sentence should be "or be by your side".

I understood his meaning, but I couldn't respond to him.

I was not a person who dragged things out, especially when it came to relationships. It would only end up hurting both parties.

Moreover, from what I observed, Matthew's feelings for Helen were growing rapidly.

After he let go of me, it would be easy to notice Helen's goodness.

As a good roommate, I shouldn't be having private conversations with the person she loved.

"It's all in the past now, nothing to worry about. With Colin looking out for me, everything turned out fine."

He swirled the wine in his glass and stared into the dark liquid, looking lost in thought. "Mr. White is truly a talented person. I've seen him a few times during high school and was impressed by his demeanor. I just didn't expect you to choose him."

"He's a great man." I wasn't sure what else to say. After thinking for a while, that was all I could come up with. Besides, it covered all bases.

"Lulu, I..." He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, tightened his lips, and remained silent for about ten seconds before speaking, "I'm getting engaged." Engaged?

I widened my eyes in astonishment. "To Helen?"

He nodded and then forced a smile. "I'm sorry, I can't keep liking you anymore. Please don't forget about me."

His voice was trembling slightly at the end of his sentence.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

It was not for myself but for him.

His feelings were pure and sincere. Perhaps a part of his heart would always belong to the Luna Lawson of the past which no one could reach. But his present and future belonged to Helen. The place he left for me in his heart no longer belonged to me. It was just a memory of his regrets from our teenage years.

It had nothing to do with love.

Matthew may not realized this yet, but I hoped he would come to understand it in the future.

Fortunately, Helen loved him very much. She once said marrying him was her lifelong wish. It was not bad at all as her wish was coming true.

Matthew's family definitely wanted him to marry someone with a similar background.

I would rather that woman be Helen instead of someone else.

Because she truly loved Matthew.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to open up and fall in love with her.

People said constant dripping wore away the stone, and Helen was that constant drop of water. One day, she would surely move Matthew's heart with her deep affection.

I had a feeling that he was already falling for her. There would surely be a day when he willingly admitted it.

"Congratulations!" I reached out my hand, sincerely wishing him well.

He grasped my hand tightly and gave me a bitter smile before asking, "Will you come?"

That was a good question.

Matthew and I were high school classmates, and Helen was my roommate. Morally and ethically, I should attend their engagement banquet.

But considering the ambiguous relationship Matthew and I once had, as well as the prejudices his mother had against me, I suppressed the desire to attend their engagement party to avoid getting into trouble. They should have a flawless engagement party. However, I would make sure to send them a wonderful engagement gift.
