Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 585

"So you two broke up for real? And I thought you two would see this perfect love story to the end. What a shame that you were the first to break up," lamented an ex-classmate.

I shook my hand. "You're mistaken. Felix and I have never dated each other, so how could we break up? We were classmates and neighbors. That's all. Now can you please stop teasing us? We're all adults here now, and I don't want any misunderstanding."

The rest cracked a few jokes and brushed the whole thing aside. As I explained, Felix's right hand on the table suddenly curled into a tight fist. His aloofness turned into an air of danger as his expression darkened.

Everyone found a new topic and livened up the atmosphere. Only Felix continued to sulk. After the party was over, they wanted to have an after-party for our reunion, so they decided to head to a karaoke joint.

I wasn't a fan of loud music, and it was late, almost 9:00 pm. Colin texted me, asking me when I'd be done so that he could pick me up. I told my ex-classmates tactfully that I still had things to do and asked them to enjoy themselves. However, my decision was vetoed, and they carried me into a cab.

Unable to escape, I texted Colin and told him that I'd be late and that I'd inform him before everything was over. My reply was responded with a sulky selfie from him.

The karaoke session ended at around 11:00 pm. Everyone promised to keep in touch and split up. I had already texted Colin, but since the karaoke place was quite far from my apartment, it'd take some time for him to arrive.

It was the beginning of autumn, so the nightly breeze had turned cold. I was wearing a short-sleeved, full-body dress. It was comfy during the day but not enough to keep me warm at night, especially on a windy night.
