บท 292: 292-Giving My Stepbrother A Chance

Helanie:

"Maximus, what are you saying?" I wasn't sure if he was even in his right mind. He seemed drunk and probably didn't even know what he was talking about.

"Tell me, Helanie. Can you give me a chance in your life? I'm not asking you to accept me right away, but at least let me stop this engagement so we can figure out our own... relationship," he pleaded, his eyes looking like they were about to overflow with tears.

I was worried about him. Seeing him so upset wasn't something I was prepared for. And it confused me how deeply concerned I felt seeing him like this.

"Tell me, what do you feel about me?" he insisted, stepping inside so he could enter my room. I had to step back to maintain some distance.

"There's so much you don't even know about me—," I started rambling, but he quickly hushed me.
