In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Under the Same Roof

I let him take me home eventually.

I know this is a terrible idea and the wise thing to do is go find a place on my own and stay as far from him as possible. But so many ups and downs in one night, my head has already stopped functioning. So I go for the easy option.

I’m little thrown off by his question, “…Me and Liam?”

His lips curves in a faint smile, “Helad a thing for you three years ago. Did that thing develop into anything serious for you two?” I bite down my bottom lips, feeling very uncomfortable about where this conversation is going
