Chapter 31


    I was hesitating when my finger identally swiped the screen lock. Felix’s voice rang out clearly from


    the phone.


    “Open the door, Luna.” His voice was as proud and dictating as ever.

    I used to admire him in the past, never seeing any issue with the way he talked. In fact, I thought that


    was how Felix should be–proud, cold, observant. When he was no longer the center of my world, I


    found myself feeling ufortable hearing him talk like this.


    “What?” My tone wasn’t pleasant either because of how much I disliked him.


    “I’m here to see you because I’m worried about you. Aunt Harper wouldn’t let me see you. I noticed that


    she had left earlier, so hurry up and let me in!”


    “My wound is still hurting. I can’t get up.” I was actually right by the door, peering through the peephole.


    I


    could see the hint of impatience on Felix’s face.


    If he was impatient, he should have left. It wasn’t like I invited him here.


    “Get up slowly. I’m in no hurry. I can wait right out here. I’ll go in whenever you’r


    to open the door.”


    What was wrong with Felix?


    Since he was so stubborn, it wouldn’t do well for me to persist. Maybe it would be better that I let him


    in.


    I slowly opened the door. I regretted it the moment I did.


    I thought Felix hade alone.


    But hiding behind him was Lc, who was clinging to his waist. She was staring right at me.


    Lc looked delicate, yet the emotion in her eyes made me ufortable. It wasn’t meek, nor was it


    jealous. It was just hard to read.


    I was a simple, open–minded girl. If I couldn’t read her expression, then so be it. It wasn’t like I wanted


    to befriend Lc anyway, so there was no point in trying to understand her.


    My head throbbed lightly when I saw Felix’s and Lc’s intertwined hands. I grumbled internally.


    Though I was already regretting my decision, I couldn’t just shut them out the door now. My refined


    upbringing forbade me from doing so.

    “Come on in,” I said.


    Felix shot me a look and squeezed past the doorway while holding Lc’s hand. They then sat down on


    the couch as if they owned the ce.


    Lc clung to him as if they were conjoined twins.


    I rolled my eyes. Yes, I knew they were in love with one another, but they didn’t need to put up a show


    all the time for me. The weather was sweltering hot. Weren’t they worried about getting a rash with how


    close they were to each other?


    I could only grumble those words internally. On the outside, I had to cut up some fruit to treat my guests


    in the spirit of hospitality.


    “I didn’t get to save you in time the other day when you fell from the cliffs, Luna. I’m sorry about that.


    I’ve failed my duty as your brother.”


    Hah!


    “There’s nothing to be sorry about. It’s not like it was your responsibility. Don’t worry about it.” I said.


    “I knew you were forgiving, Luna. You’d never be angry at me. My mother told me to visit you and get


    your forgiveness, or else she would disown me. I was forced to do this.”


    I smiled lightly. “I really don’t me you. I can talk to Aunt Mel myself if you want.”


    I wasn’t being forgiving. I just knew my ce in Felix’s heart. There was no way I would get angry at


    someone whom I had no expectations for, no matter what they did. Nor would I feel as terrible as I used


    1. to.


    “Your house is beautiful, Luna.” This was the first time Lc had visited my home. She was looking


    around the ce curiously.


    “My mom decorated it. She’s an interior designer who’s pretty famous in her circle. I probably got my


    artistic talent from her,” I said.


    I walked out of the kitchen with a fruit tter and set it down on the coffee table. I speared a piece of


    fruit and gave it to Lc. I then ate a piece myself.


    It felt amazing to eat ice–cold fruit on a hot summer’s day, especially for someone
