In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 60

Chapter 60:

A Huge Step A key. But a key to what? Suddenly, an absurd idea flashes across my mind as I gasp, “You are not asking me to move in with you, are you?!!” He gulps and sits up straighter. I haven’t seen him this nervous before.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m doing,” he smiles awkwardly. “But honestly, this isn’t the reaction I was looking for.”

His attitude eases me up a bit. I take a deep breath and try to organize my thoughts, “well… I just think we are moving a bit too fast. We just started dating not so long ago and there are so many issues between us, like our parents, school, college...Are you sure now is a good time?”

And there is another reason. I haven’t figured out what happened three years ago with that letter that went missing for no reason. I find it hard to open up to him with this between us.

I want your face to be the first thing I see every morning when I open my eyes, starting today.” I find it hard to keep the corner of my lips down, “you sound very forceful.” He smiles with me, “So is it working then?” It is working, probably a little too well.
