In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 81: Love Confession

I knew he would definitely come and confront me after listening to the recorder. But I didn’t know that he couldn’t even wait till the morning.

“Have you listened to it yet?” I ask.

“Of course!” he huffs. “Why did you do it? Why did you go find my mom?”

I’ve expected him to be angry and confused. No one wants to be told that his fiancé is an evil person right before the engagement. But he doesn’t love Katherine, that I can be sure of, so he can take the bad news. I just need to break it down to him slowly.

“Your mom asked me not to tell anyone. But you have the right to know.” I sit down by my bed, taking in a deep breath before continuing. “Your mom is dating

Katherine’s father, which is why she has ganged up with them to steal your money. If you marry her, you will lose all your family wealth to them.”

Yet he remains silent. He just stands there, staring at me with a set of dark eyes.

I frown, frustrated. Doesn’t he trust me? The fact is so plain and simple. Why is he still doubting me?!

“Look,” I try to persuade him with a little more patience, “I know you don’t care whom you marry to, but at least you deserve to be with someone who values your hard work! You worked so hard for everything! Don’t throw it away!”

He suddenly takes a big stride forward. My nightstand lights up his face and I finally get to see his expression clearly. To my surprise, he doesn’t seem angry and confused. Instead, he seems more anxious and eager.

“I didn’t ask you about Katherine. She is irrelevant.” his voice is strained. “All I want to know is why you care about me so much?”

Here it comes again. The same question he asked me in the jewelry store. What does he want me to say!

Then I look into his eyes, which alight with eagerness and longing. Suddenly an almost absurd idea flashes through my mind.

Oh god. Could he still-love me?

I’m scared by that fleeting thought. No way, impossible. He was going to marry someone else. How can he marry another person when he is still in love with me?!

Just then, he crouches down in front me. He takes both of my hand and brings them to his lips. He looks up at me, and murmurs in a way that almost sounds like pleading, Please Natalia…just give me a reason. Stop torturing me.”

“Eason…” I swallow and continue carefully. “Are you do you still love me?”

He pauses, staring back into my eyes weakly. This is the first time in almost three years he doesn’t try to mask out his emotions in front of me. I see so many things in those eyes, sadness, desperation, longing…and love.
