Chapter 758 - Seven Hundred And Fifty-eight: Allen Dropped Hints (2/2)

Ailee really tried not to be flustered but the memory of that kiss was seared in her head and her cheeks became red like flames. So she said fiercely, ”You might not be my brother but you've lived as one and the whole world knows you as that,”

”Then all the world needs is a public conference and we'd clear everything,” Neon had an idea to rid the claim of him being her brother.

”For Christ's sake, our relationship is forbidden!” Ailee spoke through gritted teeth.

”Forbidden? How so? Is it against the law to fall in love with someone who isn't your biological sibling nor adopted? How is it forbidden?” he asked her, yet Ailee was far away because she came to another startling realization.

”This is why you didn't want to be adopted because you didn't want to be my brother,” Ailee finally figured it out.

”Does it matter now?”

”It does matter,” Ailee insisted, ”Our relationship is against social norms. It isn't normal,”

”Really?” Neon had a sneer on his face, ”Since when do you care about social norms?”

”What?”

”If you really cared about social norms, you wouldn't have become a smoker, Ailee,”

Ailee was offended by that revelation, ”This is the twenty-first century and women have the right to do whatever they want. Moreover, I quit smoking,” there was anger in her tone as she said that. She trusted him with her secret, how could he use that against her?

”Or maybe you're just afraid of what your parents and society would think when they discover that Ailee the good, innocent girl isn't as virtuous as they thought,” Neon taunted her.

”Easy there,” Ailee warned him, stepping closer till their bodies were almost touching as she spoke through gritted teeth, ”Don't push my button, Neon,”

”Then tell me…” Neon drew closer as well as they stared into each other's eyes, ”What are you so scared of? The fact that you have feelings for me or the fact you don't want your parents to find out?”

Ailee felt her head throb? Who said Neon wasn't a parasite? He was really making her life miserable right now. She was just about to make her feelings clear,” I don't feel anything - ” when she was interrupted.

”What have we here?”

They both turned. It was Allen. With the Donovan twins by his side. Wonderful.

”Why are my both siblings speaking in a hushed tone like some lovers trying not to get caught,” Allen said with a teasing smile but the result wasn't funny.

Neon's fist was clenched by the side and he glared at Allen who still had a smug expression - he was satisfied with the hint he dropped. His gaze then moved to Theodore who had a calculating look on his face. It seems Allen wouldn't be the only one knowing his secret at the end of the day.

Ailee narrowed her gaze at her brother, Allen. Why does it seem like Allen knows what was going on? The thought of it made her scared because her brother had a sadistic personality and would threaten her with it - if not, Neon.

However, her gaze moved to Eve and her fears turned to disappointment as she remembered her best friend's confession over the phone call.

Eve was the only one who didn't understand the hint dropped and was more engrossed with trying to convince her friend, Ailee, that she was still with her when a loud gasp tore from the crowd.

And they all turned to the source of the commotion and their faces fell.. Oh no.
