Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 550

It was nice to have a chat with an old acquaintance. Fortunately, I wasn't rushing for the restroom.

"Professor King brought me here," I explained.

He nodded and stared at me with his dark eyes for a moment before saying, "I heard you went through a lot some time ago. I'm sorry I couldn't help you or…" He swallowed the rest of the sentence and shook his head regretfully.

The unfinished sentence should be "or be by your side".

I understood his meaning, but I couldn't respond to him.

I was not a person who dragged things out, especially when it came to relationships. It would only end up hurting both parties.

Moreover, from what I observed, Matthew's feelings for Helen were growing rapidly.

After he let go of me, it would be easy to notice Helen's goodness.

As a good roommate, I shouldn't be having private conversations with the person she loved.

"It's all in the past now, nothing to worry about. With Colin looking out for me, everything turned out fine."

He swirled the wine in his glass and stared into the dark liquid, looking lost in thought. "Mr. White is truly a talented person. I've seen him a few times during high school and was impressed by his demeanor. I just didn't expect you to choose him."

"He's a great man." I wasn't sure what else to say. After thinking for a while, that was all I could come up with. Besides, it covered all bases.

"Lulu, I…" He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, tightened his lips, and remained silent for about ten seconds before speaking, "I'm getting engaged."

Engaged?

I widened my eyes in astonishment. "To Helen?"

He nodded and then forced a smile. "I'm sorry, I can't keep liking you anymore. Please don't forget about me."

His voice was trembling slightly at the end of his sentence.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
