Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

January 15th was a big day—it was my birthday. One day before my birthday, under my request, Dad reserved a table at the restaurant we went to previously. I simply loved their food and their garden decor.

And for my big day, I put on the rose dress that I had bought in Oceanum and a beige jacket. Jade and Zara styled my hair into an elegant pompadour and applied plain makeup on me.

“Lulu, you’re a flaming hot rose now,” exclaimed Jade.

“The makeup gives your innocent face a hint of maturity and sexiness. Your fair skin brings out the red of your dress. Babe, you’re going to turn some heads.”

“You’re just saying that to make me happy.” I took some time to admire myself before a mirror. I had to say that I did look good–my teeth were white, my skin was healthy, and my eyelashes could kill.

Zara dragged me to the dressing mirror and shook her head in amazement. “Don’t sell yourself short. You might just be more beautiful than Cleopatra.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

At the age of 20, I did look gorgeous. “That idiot, Felix, can only find you in his memory.”

“You make it sound like I’m dead.”

“Zara is right. Felix is going to regret his decision so much. I’m waiting for that to happen.”

“Guys, can we stop mentioning Felix? I don’t want to be associated with him. There was nothing between us to begin with. Why won’t you believe me?”

“Okay, okay. Stop putting your hands on your waist. You don’t look elegant like that.”

We then left to carry out today’s itinerary, which was decided two days ago. We’d go to a theme park and a haunted mansion, and participate in a murder mystery game that was going viral.

But when we left home, we saw two tall figures outside the door. Colin was sulking while Felix wore a

poker face. What the heck?

Several days ago, Colin asked me how I planned to celebrate my birthday. I said I’d visit an amusement park with friends and have lunch there. He asked if he could join since he was free and offered to buy me

lunch for my birthday.

But our discussion ended abruptly as Mom asked me to help her with something. We never brought it up again. Regardless, Colin knew that I’d be hanging out with friends, and he had said he’d be joining. I wasn’t too surprised to find him outside of my house.

But Felix was another story. It had been so many years, and I never told him about my birthday plan.

Knowing how much he hated me, there was no way he’d remember my birthday.

I looked around warily. If Felix was here, Lilac would be here too. That cunning woman was a handful to

deal with. I just wanted to enjoy my birthday with people I loved.

The moment I imagined what Lilac would do, my head began to hurt. It dampened my mood.

“The birthday girl is here. Let’s go, then. My car is ready.” Colin rubbed my neck and ushered me to go

with him.

“Is Felix coming too?” I asked Colin. “I didn’t invite him.”

Felix’s poker face darkened after I said that.

“It’ll just be me. Lili hasn’t come back.” Felix dispelled my concern right away.
