Chapter 68 - Your Stronger Now (2/2)

Lyn didn't know where all of this was coming from. But it feels like if she doesn't get this out of her system, then it would remain there.

”You should treat her with more kindness. Gabrielle has always treated you well; the least you can do is respect her wishes as your fiance. Doubting her, giving her the evil eye and lecturing her will not make the situation any better.”

”Oh? And my sister, you've become an expert on relationsh.i.p.s now?”

”That's--'”

Andrew laughed, ”Fret not; I understand where you are coming from. You are concerned as her friend,” he trailed off, ”I am relieved to know you are getting along with her. But please try to look at things from my perspective.”

From brother's perspective? Certainly, if she were the one in his shoes, she would also get angry. If there were rumors about Kazuya getting close to a random woman and he didn't clarify it, then she would feel upset. Both brother and Gabrielle, however, are the type of people who aren't good at conveying their emotions with words.

”I'm glad though you've really changed Lyn.”

Eh? Lyn looked at him puzzled.

”You've grown a lot stronger,” Andrew smiled and reached over to pat her head, ”You haven't noticed? Before you would think otherwise to approach me. Just recently, when we met again for the first time in a long time. You wouldn't even look me in the eyes, but this time, you took the initiative to approach me.”

Ah, come to think of it. In the past, if she saw her eldest brother, Lyn would have found a place to hide. But things are different now; she can find herself talking more naturally.

The reason she is able to do that now is because, because of him -- because of, before Lyn could finish her sentence, a flash of maroon hair pulled her away.

It belonged to Kazuya of course.

”Kazuya?”

”Hey, you disappeared for too long.”

She's pretty sure she has only been gone for a few minutes. But more importantly, why did the atmosphere change so quickly? The air around them suddenly turned tense. It felt like her brother was sending harsh glares.

It would undoubtedly help if her boyfriend stopped casually wrapping his arms around her.

”Prince Andrew, nice to see you here.”

Her sweat fell at Kazuya's tone. Why is it that whenever Kazuya or Rhys meets any of her brothers, it ends up in this situation? Anyhow, her gaze fell on Kazuya's arm that was around her waist. Thump. Thump. This is embarrassing.

Her brother's lips curve to a smile, ”Indeed, I'm glad to see that you've been taking such good care of my sister,” while her brother was smiling. Lyn could see that his gaze was on Kazuya's arm around her waist, ”Your even becoming very familiar.”

Her sweat fell, ehhh? Um, why is she getting a bad feeling from all of this.
