Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Chapter 189

“I cherish Matthew’s feelings toward me. But we hadn’t started dating each other. I refuse to be belittled, and I don’t want him to fall out with his family for me. I will not be called nasty names for the rest of my life.

“I don’t know about all that. I just want him to be happy and to smile again.”
