In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 71

Midnight Date I’ve imagined a million times what it would be like when we meet again. Maybe at our family gathering, maybe at a friend’s party, or maybe even at my wedding in the future.

But I’ve never thought about this, with him sitting there with his beautiful new girlfriend, and me standing there all embarrassed like a clow

This can’t be any NOTIC

But unlike me, he doesn’t seem surprised at all. lle simply looks at me calmly, as if we just saw cach other this morning

“Babe,” lis girlfriend pouts. “This is the stupid waitress I was talking about. She ruined the outfit you got me and –”

Hocuts her off, “Natalia.”

He isn’t pretending that he doesn’t know me, as I thought he would be.

But he used to call me “Nat” and not “Natalia.”

Then he stands up from his seat and leans forward, giving me a gentle hug. I can smell his scent, the familiar scent of mint and woods, but this hug feels very strange. His hug used to be full of passion and energy, but now it’s polite and aloos.

“It’s been a long time,” he rises up and smiles at me. “How have you been?”

How have I been?

I have been terrible. For the first year we parted, I would think of him every single day and would relive all those happy and heartbreaking memories again and again. Every day was like hell And then when I finally managed to move on, I have lost the ability to love again,

I thought it would be hard for him too.

But now he proves me wrong He seems perfectly fine with seeing me again, as if he has already forgotten all our past. And that makes me like a fool trying to avoid him all these times. I don’t know how to react. So I can reply lowly,”…fine, I guess.”

His girlfriend seerns even more surprised than I am, “Wait Eason, do you know her?”

But Eatson simply ignores her and keeps staring at me, “You’ve lost some weight. I heard that you are studying at NYU now, then why are you working here?

Really? Chut chat?

I can’t do this with him

“…I have to make a living Non all of us wis born with a silver sin.” Ilonce out a smile. ” Now please excuse me Miss, here’s the blanket you asked for.”

I shove her the blanket and turn around to leave I can feel his gaze following me behind my back, but I don’t dare to look back

I flee all the way back to the changing room and find a quiet corner to calm down. My heart is thumbing so wildly in my chest that I think I’m going to throw up the next second.

I really wasn’t prepared for this. First my landlord showed up hunting me for rent, then I missed my bus and was late for work, and I ran into him with his new girlfriend, Bad things just keep coining at me like a rolling snowball. I let out a frustrated low groan. God, I don’t want to go back out there and face them.

Suddenly, the door to the changing room flies open and another waitress walks inside. She seems surprised seeing me crouching down at the corner, “Natalia? What are you doing here?” “Nothing. Just taking a short break,” I reply dryly. “OK…but don’t let Lori find you. She is a total nutcase today.”
