Chapter 696 Extra Story 07 Of Sean And Cloris (1/2)

”What, what are you talking about?” Cloris asked nervously, biting her lips and avoiding eye contact as she brought her hands up, fiddling with her fingers and pretending to have a sudden interest in her own fingernails.

”You tell me.” Out of the blue Sean pushed her to the wall and leaned in closer with his body propped up against both arms to her side.

When Cloris slowly looked up, her eyes were trapped into his intense gaze, hypnotized.

Blushing slightly under his penetrating gaze, Cloris tried to ignore the way his dark eyes bore into hers.

Her body squirmed just a little as her muscles relaxed. There was something about that gaze of his she would never find in another man, as if in that moment their souls had made a bridge. Just then it occurred to her that Sean was not only her brother but also a man who had feelings for her.

”I don't know. I don't know what are you talking about.” Suddenly, Cloris pushed Sean aside with her elbow and ran away without looking back

While Sean stood there for a few minutes, unmoving, he was terribly awkward and pallidly uncertain, looking on the conflagration love had wrought. The light in his eyes extinguished like a candle in the wind.

Cloris knew it.

She knew his secret.

Sean's face conveyed an arresting spectrum of ambivalent emotions. He just wanted her to understand and know how he felt for her. He didn't mean to drive her away from him.

He wondered what she was thinking about him, even though he wasn't entirely sure if he really wanted to know what was in her mind after she found out his secret.

'Is she afraid of me? I hope she doesn't come to hate me because of this.

It doesn't matter anyway. I don't expect her to like me.' The thought filled him with an unbearable sorrow.

Cloris decided that she wanted to go abroad for higher education.

As if it weren't obvious enough, Sean knew this was just her excuse to distance herself from him. The feeling of being crestfallen came over him and he could not accept her decision.

Sean could never let Cloris go abroad on her own. It was out of the question!
