In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Read In Love With My Evil Stepbrother Chapter 67 – Liam

Fate really is playing me like a puppet.

I just got rid of one stepbrother only a day ago and it throws another one right back at me.

But I guess…the new one seems much better than the old one.

Embarrassed, I quickly apologize for making a big fuss earlier. But Liam doesn’t seem to mind that at all, “I should be the one to say sorry. I thought your dad had already told you about me and I just couldn’t resist the temptation to see the surprise on your face.”

I let out an awkward laugh, “I didn’t know dad’s girlfriend-I mean your mom-has a son.” .

“Really? You dad didn’t mention a word about me? I thought he was so fond of me. Well, that hurts,” he clenches his chest and pretends to be shot in the heart. “Ouch.”

Jenna has a big stupid grin on her face. She turns to me and mouths me again: HOT!

I sigh internally. My other stepbrother is also very hot, but we all know how that turned out.

“So why were you in the airport?” Jenna asks him. “You weren’t there to pick us up no?”

“Not really. I work in a Chicago law firm and just got a few days off from work. So I flied back home to visit my mom and Mr. Moore and then run into you guys at the airport…what are the odds?”

“Very rare,” I murmur.

Eventually, we arrive at our home. I sit in the car, looking through the window at the house I had spent three years in, and suddenly feel a bit nervous.

This used to be my home. But then dad kicked me out for another woman, Liam’s mom to be precise. Although Liam seems nice, I wonder what his mom is like. Out of nowhere, I am suddenly reminded of Eason’s mom and a cold shiver runs down my spine.

Hope Liam’s mom is better than that old crow.

The car door files open while I was lost in my thoughts. Looking up, I find Liam holding the door for me, a hint of smile in his eyes.

“Ready?” he asks.

I try to keep my spirit up and jump out of the car, heading towards the front gate.

The house seems to be under good maintenance while I was gone. The lawn is freshly mowed, the broken fence is fixed, a bunch of yellow tulips are blooming in the garden… I know my father’s laid-back personality, so he couldn’t be the one who had done those works.

Liam knocks on the door, “Mr. Moore! Mom! Look who is back!”

A few moments later, the front door flies open, and a middle-aged woman appears behind it. She is about my height, slightly plump and really kindly looking. She seems one of those people who would give free hugs on the street to strangers.

“On Liam!” she hugs her son tightly in the arms, though he is, much taller than she is. “So nice to have you back! How’s your flight?”

Liam breaks free from her and moves aside for her to see me,”
