Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

I was just trying to appease Colin, but somehow, I started to feel aggrieved as I spoke.

My voice choked, and my eyes became teary. I couldn't help but say a lot more than intended.

All the longing, worry, unease, and concern that had accumulated over the past two months came pouring out. I spoke for a long time, but the focus was only on how he had company while I was all alone and miserable.

I was sure he could understand my intentions.

The coldness in Colin's eyes completely melted away as he listened to my words. Seeing my tearful eyes, he immediately felt sorry for me and started to show me his deep affection.

"Alright, alright, don't be sad anymore. I'm not angry, okay? I know you've been feeling lonely recently. I'm returning soon, aren't I? When I'm back, I'll keep you company and make up for all the time I was away, okay?

"Don't cry anymore. How could I ever be truly angry with my darling? I was just teasing you. Don't take it seriously. Be good now. Don't cry anymore. You're breaking my heart."
