Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 76: With these thoughts, Ethan drained his glass. "Yes. The Higgins and Brooks families are a good match. A union between them is only fitting." "Callie... she's the one who saved you, right? Could that incident..." Jameson hesitated, leaving the sentence unfinished. "Do you think I'd be fooled by her?" Ethan's question silenced Jameson, who realized he might be overthinking and said nothing more. Meanwhile, Benson began to act up, and Keith couldn't stop him. "Huh... Ethan, you jerk! I thought you missed me, but you were thinking about some other woman the whole time.

I didn't even go home to see my parents, came straight here to drink with you, and you betray me like this. I hate you. I'm ending our friendship!" Keith, exasperated, grabbed an apple from the fruit platter and stuffed it into Benson's mouth, who continued to mumble his grievances. Keith glanced at Ethan with a resigned sigh. "Just as long as you don't regret it." The two seemed to be speaking in riddles, leaving Benson and Jameson somewhat confused. Ethan calmly set his glass down and stood.

As he walked past Keith, he said with unwavering certainty, "I won't." Nyla had planned to take a well-deserved break after the recent events, but Vicki summoned her back to the Brooks Mansion for a family reunion dinner. Nyla wondered, not without sarcasm, who this reunion was really for. Vicki's usual tactics of pressure worked, and Nyla, soft-hearted as ever, found herself returning to the Brooks family residence. To her surprise, the entire Brooks family was present. Even Lukas had returned.

His eyes lit up when he spotted her, and he eagerly broke away from the others, rushing to her with excitement. "Nyla, they didn't give you a hard time, did they?" Lukas, three years her junior, was a well-behaved and caring young man. In the Brooks family, where she was either ignored or disliked, Lukas was the only one who genuinely cared for her. 1@Ŧ€$† ¢#4₽Ŧ€®$ 1₦ gąℓnovels.cøm Nyla had turned down Lukas' attempts to date her several times, and he had promised he wouldn't bother her, asking her not to push him away.

Sincere and warm-hearted, Lukas might not have fully understood love and affection, but he knew one thing for certain: Nyla wasn't the troublemaker others claimed she was. He saw her as a good person. Whenever the Brooks family mistreated her, Lukas was the first to stand up for her. Nyla felt she owed him something for that and smiled, shaking her head. "I'm fine. But what about you? How's school going? Didn't you say you wanted to get into Ulares University?

Let me see your grades this year." They chatted quietly in a corner, unnoticed by the other members preoccupied with their own conversations in the living room. Lukas pulled out his phone, opened a document, and enlarged his grades, proudly showing them to Nyla. Seeing his smug grin, Nyla could already tell he had done well. After glancing at the grades, her suspicions were confirmed, and she felt genuinely happy for him. "What reward do you want? Just name it." . . .
