Chapter 615 - Six Hundred And Fifteen : Wordlessly (2/2)

He had never seen Ailee as a sister, not since day one he set his eyes on the girl. That was why he had fought tooth and nail against Niklaus adopting him as his legal son. He knew once he was legal, it was game over for him. This way? He had higher chances of courting her without consequences - hopefully.

Why hadn't he confessed his feelings yet? Because he was afraid to lose her. Neon might be sure of his feelings for the girl but Ailee only saw him as a brother. If he made the wrong move, not only would he lose the chances of being by her side, he might have to leave the household as well - it would be awkward for her if he remained afterwards after his confession.

Thanks to that, he has been hesitant to confess his feelings because he didn't want to lose Ailee as a friend and the so-thought siblinghood as well. So he chose to drop subtle hints of his interest in her while chasing away other love interests - making Allen think he was on his side. A low move on his side, yes, but it's all about survival.

Neon longed for her so much that he always chose to stay in the back seat, that way, he could watch over her and admire her without anyone noticing. He loved her so much that he put her needs above his, giving her the brotherhood she craved so much even though his whole being fought against it. He didn't want to be her brother; he wanted to be more than her friend; he wanted to be her lover.

But then, this Theo guy was about to ruin everything, he couldn't let him. However, what could he do if Ailee falls in love with him - Theo- and not him? Nothing. He could only give them his blessing - even if it hurts him. No, he had to stop them before it was too late.

”Are you getting in the car or not?!”

Ailee almost jumped out of her skin when Neon bellowed at her. She had been so engrossed staring at the Donovan twins, it scared her.

”Sure,” You didn't have to shout so loud, she added under her breath. Gosh.

The ride home was a silent one and Ailee couldn't help but wonder why Allen didn't join them. Did he have practice? No, Neon would have joined him as well since they were both on the same team and she would be notified as well as the captain of the cheerleaders.

She took that opportunity to stare at Neon, he was quite handsome - if he could stop being angry. Ailee sighed, she had not even said something wrong and he was frowning at her throughout the day.

It seems like she would have to go find him a girlfriend.... that idea didn't exactly please her. What if Neon turns up like her brother, it would then be all her friends. Moreover, she liked Neon the way he was - a girlfriend would limit the time they spent together.

She continued to stare at his features, the sharp and angular jawline, those beautiful blue eyes…..Ailee froze as their eyes met through the rear view mirror. Her heart raced and her mouth opened wordlessly.

Ailee took her gaze away, that was weird.
