It Was Never Love 66
I instinctively replied: “That’s because he’s my brother.”“I don’t think your sister-in-law will like this one bit.”Out of nowhere, Carlos had made such a statement. It seemed reasonable and I was speechless.Could the conflict between my sister-in-law and my brother be caused by me?With this thought, my heart started to feel uncomfortable, as soon as I got off the plane, I called my sister-in-law. She was still sleeping and was dazed when she answered my call. “Natália, did something happen?”“Sister-in-law, did you and my brother argue because of me?”With my loved ones, I was frank with my words. My question was very direct and my sister-in-law was stunned for a few seconds before answering: “You could say yes.”My sister-in-law was also an outspoken person.“What made you guys argue?”The sister-in-law elaborated without hiding anything from me: “He felt that he was a heartless person and that he didn’t care about anyone. Since his surgery I've been busy running around, I think

I immediately rushed to the hospital when I heard that Lucy had an accident. As soon as I arrived, I saw Carlos standing smoking in a corner of the corridor in front of the infirmary. He stubbed out his cigarette when he saw me and said calmly, “Lucy is currently fine after emergency surgery and the person driving the car was the man she always wanted to be with.”I immediately responded: “Are you referring to Charles Lucas?”How did he know he and Lucy were interested in Charles?Carlos didn't answer, but questioned me instead: "Are you investigating Charles because of Lucy?"I nodded in affirmation. Carlos was smart and immediately realized Lucy's intention. He said: “I think she deliberately planned this to happen and desperately tried to put herself in danger! We underestimated her determination for revenge. In order to enter the Lucas family, she dared to offend Charles and even planned to take revenge on him.”Carlos' words obviously showed that he was still skeptical about what

He knew it was most likely already over the moment I walked into the living room and calmly passed the phone to Carla at his side.It was regrettable that she managed to escape punishment this time."Everything is fine. We have already achieved what we set out to do.”Seeing that I was so calm, my assistant was surprised. “Have you been suspicious of Nanci all this time?”“I guessed it, but I had no concrete proof.”After finishing the phone call with my assistant, I sat on my bed and opened my birth document. There was no doubt that my name indicated on the document was Natália Moom.In the photograph, I was a baby and the only difference was the year of birth, in the document, the date was 1995.But I was born in 1996 and turned twenty-three this year.Natália in the document should be twenty-four years old.Unrest slowly crept into my heart.I suddenly understood what Michele had intended to do!I quickly sent a message to my assistant to have him delete my birth records. He didn't

I didn't ask Karen if it was André Sky.She still thought that her feelings for André had been kept to herself. However, she knew he was interested in me at that moment.Theoretically, he could see me as just his rival.He couldn't tell how she felt about me and had no idea why she had called, asking to meet.She nodded and replied sincerely: “It’s true, it’s something about a relationship, more specifically, it’s about unrequited love.”Normally, I would have to ask her what kind of person she had fallen in love with, but I knew it was André, so I couldn't ask her about it.I sighed. “Love is difficult, I don’t know how to comfort her, take the blanket in the back seat and warm her up.”Sensing that I was trying to distance myself from her, she pursed her lips and fell silent. She also didn't pick up the back blanket.Because of my relationship with Carlos Sky, I was her ex-sister-in-law, no matter what. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel anything when I saw him so sad. But

I knew it seemed like I was trying to avoid responsibility.It was true that André Sky and I had nothing, but it was also true that he was in love with me, he had asked me if I would change my mind and meet him.He had said he would wait for me all his life.I could imagine how painful it was for Karen.She didn't speak again and we remained silent as I drove her back to her neighborhood, according to my memory of the route.I parked the car by the road and gave her an umbrella and she accepted it and thanked me gratefully, then she said with a guilty look on her face: “I'm sorry I bothered you, I just wanted to talk to someone.”In fact, she hadn't done anything wrong, it was my fault.Seeing her upset and restless, I reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying in a low voice: “I can't tell André what to do or how to feel, but I promise I won't get any closer to him.”Taken aback by my words, Karen looked at me in astonishment, she shook her head eagerly. “I didn’t ask her out that’s w

“Release her right now!”It was a familiar yet strange voice.The man let go of me and I fell to the ground, trying to catch my breath, he spat on the ground and said with disdain in his speech: “Look who's finally here! What a sissy.”“Stop talking nonsense, I was busy on the phone.”It seemed as if he had been talking to someone all this time.I finally recovered from the cough and turned to look at Andrew, he was standing in the rain, looking like a wild animal, just like years ago when he had left the Moom family.I looked at his face and felt like he was trying to avoid eye contact with me, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.He apologized. “I didn't know this piece of shit would ambush me tonight. I didn’t want to involve her.”I still couldn't speak, so I shook my head in response.I was worried about him because he had come alone, like Karen, I didn't want to see him punched to the ground.I turned around to see how Karen was, she looked horrible, she was lying on the floor

Andrew Moom. He said in an enigmatic way: “You may not be Natália Moom, but you are a true child of the Moom family, and there is no doubt about that.”I smiled and said, “Andrew, that doesn’t sound like you. Normally, you would say whatever. What do you have in mind, I just want to know the truth. Can you tell me the truth, please?”Andrew I wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly fell on something behind me and said: “When I have time, I will call you again.”I guessed it was Carlos Sky. That was behind me, so it was indeed a bit inappropriate for Andrew to say it here. I agreed, said, “Yes, let’s find a good place to speak next time.”I still felt a little disappointed. After Andrew left. I turned to Carlos. And his gaze was cold as he looked in the direction Andrew had left and asked, “Where do you know each other?”“Yes, I know him, he is a friend.”Actually, I wasn't lying. It was true that I had hidden some things.Carlos didn't ask me anything else. On the way back, I a

“Should I reciprocate her feelings for me?”André Sky's words continued to echo in the depths of my heart. I was stunned, not knowing how to answer his question.He sighed and lowered his voice to say softly. “Girl, in this world, there are many things that no matter how much you want, you can never obtain. I know your heart aches for Karen. As her brother, how could I be totally calm about all this? It's just that I have my own point of view on some things! Karen likes me... And that's her problem. And if I'm not cruel to her, she'll have hope.”What André said was not wrong. In fact, it was important that both parties were willing to love if he had no feelings for Karen, it was right for him to stay away from her and not give her hope. This would prevent them from continuing to deceive themselves.Karen understood in her heart why André was doing all this.However, for some things, it was one thing to understand, and another to be reluctant to give up.I felt that Karen wouldn't giv
