Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Due to my past with Matthew, the biases from both their families toward me, and to ensure that Matthew and Helen had a perfect engagement banquet, I decided not to attend it. This was also to save myself from any trouble and to let Helen be a happy and carefree bride-to-be.

However, I would still send them a wonderful engagement gift to celebrate their day.

I smiled and shook my head. "I have quite a lot of urgent matters on my plate lately. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. But I sincerely wish you both the best."

Helen's face showed some disappointment, but she didn't refute me—perhaps out of regret or selfishness.

Matthew thanked me and left. I watched his slightly hunched tall figure, which seemed lonely as he walked away.

I waved at him and bade him farewell in my heart, "Goodbye, fatty. Be happy."

Then, I turned and continued my way to the restroom.

As I passed the men's restroom, a gentle breeze blew into my eyes, causing me to raise my hand to rub my eyes. I didn't expect anyone to come out from the restroom, so I accidentally bumped into a person head-on.

Suddenly, the refreshing scent of pine and cypress enveloped me.

The person reacted quickly and took a step back. But he quickly came forward again to grasp my shoulders with both hands while calling out to me in a surprised tone.
