In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 35

Chapter 35: A Wild Guess My whole body tenses up immediately at his words.

About Eason? Why?

Did he find out about us???

Now that I think of it, we aren’t very careful about hiding our tracks. There is evidence everywhere: like yesterday, like that one time in the restaurant with my mom…

I gulp and force out a smile, trying to sweep it under the rug, “but they are still waiting for us outside. Maybe some other time-”

I want to escape the scene so bad.

But before I can stand up, Alex puts his hand on my shoulder and forces me back. I’ve never seen him like this before. “You will want to hear this Nat,” he says sternly. I gulp as cold sweat starts to form on my forehead. Oh god, he is definitely on to us. What’s he going to say? Is he going to judge me for sleeping with my stepbrother? Is he going to tell my parents, my friends or everyone at school? If I beg him, will he keep the secret? My mind is a mess when suddenly I hear Alex says

“I think Eason is plotting something against you.” I blink and stare at him blankly, as my mind processing his words.

A moment of silence later, I burst into laughter.

“What Eason?” I wave my hand laughing. “No…you must be mistaken.”

His brow furrows. Apparently, he’s not so pleased about my reaction.

“Nat, hear me out, ok?” he puts both of his hands on my shoulders and turns me around to face him, his eyes flashing brightly. “Your brother-well, stepbrother-is not a very good person. I’m not saying this to make him look bad…it’s how I really feel. I’ve always sensed something was wrong about him, but I couldn’t quite put my fingers on what it was.” “Till last night, I found out about something.” His seriousness affects me, and my smile gradually faints away. All his words sound ridiculous to my ears, but I still can’t help but ask, “…you find out about what?”

“Remember yesterday you went out to find him? The storm was like hell, so we were all worried. Katherine suggested we should call the police and everyone else agreed…except for Jarnes. And he said something really weird.”

“…what did he say?”

“He said…” Alex pauses and then continues in a low voice. “… ‘don’t worry. Eason has it all under control.'”

I slightly part my lips and look back at him blankly.
