Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Maxime changed the tough and playful demeanor he had with the owner once he was immersed in his work. He turned into a serious person as he earnestly explained the weaving method to me patiently while demonstrating it.

In less than an hour, the keychain was woven. Although it wasn't as neat and pretty as what an expert could make, I received praise from Maxime as a novice since it took shape.

Queenie took the keychain and compared it with hers. She found it quite interesting and decided to choose a jade-colored yarn to learn together with me.

Time flew by when a person was deeply immersed in something. It was already dark outside when I held the four finished keychains, and we admired each other's work.

I checked my phone and saw several missed calls and over 20 unread messages, all from Colin.

Queenie's phone also had some notifications from Andrew.

I returned Colin's call. He said that he could return early today and asked me to send him my location so that he could pick me up.

But I hesitated and rejected him as I thought about the keychains in my bag.

Birthday gifts should be presented on the day itself for the element of surprise. If I let him know I was here, he could guess the reason and purpose at any moment. Then, the present wouldn't be meaningful anymore. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Halfway through our ride home, Andrew called to say that things were ending soon on his end as well. He promised to bring us some good food so that we didn't have to cook. We just had to wait for him to return.

Within minutes of entering the house, Colin and Andrew returned together, each carrying several food containers. The aroma alone was enough to make one drool.

I took the containers from Colin and brought them to the kitchen. "Andrew, where did you order so much food from? How are we going to finish it all?"

He shook his reddened hand,

looking delighted. His gaze passed

through the glass door of the

kitchen and landed on Queenie. "I

didn't order it. I was at my family's banquet, remember? Content

"Grandma heard that I had a woman I liked and was overjoyed. So, she personally made several dishes and insisted I bring them back for Queenie to try." The matron Lamberts

of the

personally cooked the food? I looked

at the food in awe, wondering what magical flavors were awaiting. After all, this was the first time that. would be tasting something made by someone from a wealthy family.

Honestly, when Andrew said that, I was happy yet worried.

There were some things that Queenie would never ask. If that was the case, it was up to me, as her bestie, to ask on her behalf.

"Andrew, whether it's Queenie herself, her parents, or even me, we've never thought she would become a wealthy man's wife.

"People like us from ordinary families only hope to marry for love and love alone. We'd never do anything like selling ourselves for selfish desires. Do you understand?" Andrew took out some large plates from the cupboard and started putting the food into them.

After hearing my words, he set aside the food containers in his hands and turned to look in Queenie's direction

gently. He smiled. "Luna, I understand what you mean. Actually, your hopes are also mine.

"When Grandma pulled me aside, she specifically told me that no one from the Lamberts had ever been in an arranged marriage. In the Lamberts, spouses must truly love each other.

"I like Queenie and want to marry her. There's no doubt about that. It's all because I truly like her and want to be with her."
