Chapter 1288 Keep It A Secret For Me (2/2)

, my God, ' he thought in a panic.

Carlos's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but feel overcome with sorrow. Then he collapsed back on the sofa.

On that day, he hadn't read the paper carefully and had failed to notice the details. Besides, he hadn't known much about Cherish then. This was why he hadn't expected something like this.

But as soon as she mentioned her brother in front of him, he suddenly remembered his name. His name was Perrin!

How terribly ironic this was.

”As expected, she again only wanted to take advantage of me,” he said, chuckling bitterly.

'Nora, you are really devious in your plans, ' he thought.

His eyes turned red with anguish as he smiled sadly.

”What are you talking about? I don't understand. Who wanted to take advantage of you?” she asked, utterly confused.

Hearing his words, Cherish was stunned. She looked at Carlos in bewilderment. 'And what does any of this have to do with my brother?' she thought.

She wanted to ask him to explain. But seeing the sorrow painting Carlos's face, she didn't have the heart to do so. At last, she changed positions and sat next to him on the sofa, gently lowering his head to rest on her shoulder.

At this moment, she felt that nothing else mattered. She just didn't want to see him so terribly sad.

”Carlos, don't be sad. I also feel sad when you are so unhappy. I...” She wanted to say something more, but then she felt a lump form in her throat and fell into silence instead.
