Marrying Your Brother: How Do You Like That? Chapter 10
Yvonne was switching seats with Sophia! Most importantly, it was the seat next to Charles!"Yvonne! You…" Charles' expression soured instantly.Sophia, on the other hand, jumped at the chance. She eagerly swapped seats with Yvonne. "Sure! But don't regret it later!""Yvonne, who said you could change seats?" Charles stepped forward and grabbed her arm with a questioning glare.But Yvonne completely ignored him. She yanked her arm away and moved her belongings over to Sophia's desk.Sophia quickly took the seat beside Charles and said with a smirk, "Charles, Yvonne hurt her leg. Sitting in the back makes it easier for her to slack off. Don't make it harder for her."From kindergarten to high school, Yvonne had always been Charles' deskmate. And Charles had never sat next to any other girl.Now, Yvonne was handing over that spot for no reason. There was no way Sophia was going to pass it up.When Shawn returned to the classroom, he saw that Yvonne was now seated beside his desk.

"Don't be like that, Charles…" Tiffany tugged on Charles' sleeve before looking at Yvonne guiltily. "I'm sorry, Yvie. Charles didn't mean it like that. I was the one who was out of line.""Don't try to defend her! I know her better than you do—she's just jealous of you!" Charles frowned.Yvonne watched them echo each other's words as they stood there. Suddenly, she was reminded of her previous life.Back then, Charles and Tiffany had sat before her and thrown the divorce agreement at her. At the time, Charles' tone had been icy, and he'd looked like he was in a rush to sever ties with her. Meanwhile, Tiffany had tried to talk him into putting things nicely.Yet when Charles had stepped away briefly, Tiffany had gone into detail about how Charles had never forgotten her and had constantly contacted her.Only then did Yvonne realize her three-year marriage was a joke. She and Charles had gotten engaged at 18, a period that had stretched for five years, followed by three years of mea

"Hurry and head to the infirmary. Make sure your bones aren't injured." Alison looked at Shawn. "Take Yvonne there, Shawn.""Got it." Shawn accompanied Yvonne downstairs.When he saw her bowed head and trembling shoulders, he thought she was in severe pain. After some hesitation, he reached out to pat her shoulder and tell her not to take Charles too seriously.Unexpectedly, when they got to the foot of the staircase, Yvonne suddenly started laughing.Shawn was taken aback. "Wait, you…""Sorry, Shawn. I couldn't resist." She dried the tears at the corners of her eyes. "You didn't believe my act, did you?""Your act?""Did you really think I was crying?" she asked."Weren't you?""Of course not." She stretched her arms. "I won't cry because of an idiot like Charles.""Then why did you…" Shawn started."This afternoon's classes are too boring. Going to the infirmary gives me a legitimate excuse to skip." Yvonne patted his shoulder. "Join me."Shawn was speechless.…Charles

Charles pulled the jacket off Yvonne. Sure enough, he saw the bruise on her back. That made him falter.Yvonne slapped him in embarrassment, which echoed the one she'd given him earlier.His ears buzzed from the impact, and he glared at her. "How dare you hit me again, Yvonne!""Why wouldn't I, you pervert?" she snapped."I'm a pervert?" He pointed at himself like he'd heard a joke. "Who the hell's the pervert here? Who's the one dressed like this and flaunting it to another guy?""Shawn was helping me check my injury—what about you? We don't know each other well enough for you to barge in here and rip my clothes off!"Charles didn't miss the hint of loathing in Yvonne's gaze. She never would've looked at him like that in the past."Don't know each other well enough?" He barked out an irritated, clipped laugh. "We grew up together, Yvonne. Is there any inch of your body that I haven't seen? Now, you're saying we don't know each other well?""Grew up together? How can you be sha

Charles' expression darkened at Yvonne's tears.Even Regina was taken aback. Yvonne was usually meek and silent; she didn't say much, let alone cry. Now, however, she was weeping like she'd suffered a huge grievance.Alison immediately soothed Yvonne before looking at Regina. "You can see what things are like, Mrs. Lambert. This incident has already negatively impacted the students. Would they dare tell the truth even if something really did happen?""Yvonne, you—" Regina was about to get mad when Charles beat her to it.He gave her an ugly look and snapped, "Drop the act, Yvonne!"He was so loud that Yvonne curled up in Alison's arms fearfully. Alison frowned and growled, "Do you think you're the one in the right after you hit your classmates, Charles?""Am I in the right? Of course I am! I got into a fight, did I? Well, Yvonne slapped me! How are you going to handle that?" Charles shouted."What? She slapped you?" Regina's expression shifted at that. "Where? Show me!"The han

"You're not dating?" Regina was surprised to hear Yvonne say that. Why would the latter and Charles get a room at a motel, then?She thought Yvonne was just embarrassed, so she said, "I know you're embarrassed, Yvie, but I'm not narrow-minded. Didn't you and Charles go to a motel together?""You've misunderstood, Mrs. Lambert. I wasn't the one who went there with Charles," Yvonne said."Yvonne!" Charles' expression turned stormy. He didn't expect her to just blurt that out."What? It wasn't you? Who was it, then?" Regina's voice rose several octaves.Yvonne feigned surprise. "You don't know about this, Mrs. Lambert? Charles went there with his girlfriend.""Girlfriend? Where have you suddenly found a girlfriend from?" Regina glowered at Charles."Shut up, Yvonne! Tiff isn't my girlfriend; she—" Charles started.Yvonne clapped a hand over her mouth when he exposed himself. "I'm so sorry. I thought you guys had to be dating if you got a room together. Hasn't that happened yet?"

"How is it any of my business what people say about Tiffany?" Yvonne stabbed Charles' chest with each word she uttered. "She has to bear the consequences of her actions! Am I even close to her? Why should I take the blame for her? Are we all supposed to clean up her messes just because she's poor?"If you really care about her, man up and protect her in your own way instead of forcing me onto a moral high ground! Besides, what does this whole thing have to do with me? What makes you think you can drag me into this?"Charles was rendered speechless by her words. He was so used to Yvonne dealing with all his troubles that he'd naturally expected her to also help him this time. Unexpectedly, she wasn't doing it.As she turned to leave, he grabbed her arm and snarled, "Stop making excuses for yourself, Yvonne! You're just refusing to help Tiff because you're jealous of her! Why else would you have helped with everything that I asked of you but not this? It's because it has to do with Ti

Sophia was ashen, evidently frightened from what she'd witnessed. "C-Charles! Yvonne, Yvonne…""Yvonne? Her again?" The mere mention of Yvonne was enough to irritate Charles."Yvonne… I saw someone abduct her!" Sophia cried.Charles' expression shifted drastically. He grabbed Sophia by the shoulders as his gaze bore into hers. "What did you say? Make yourself clear! Who abducted Yvonne?""I-I didn't see any faces. They had a mask and cap on—they looked like a guy. They dragged her into a white van!" She was so frightened that her voice trembled.Charles couldn't be bothered about her. He left her behind as he ran back into the school."Charles, where are you going? Yvonne wasn't taken into the school!" Sophia cried, looking as pale as a sheet.…The sky had gone dark. Yvonne blearily opened her eyes to be greeted by absolute darkness. Wherever she was, the place reeked."Fuck, where did Michael Sullivan hide his money?""Calm down. We already have his daughter—we can get the

When Sophia saw how Yvonne refused to attend the party, she said sarcastically, "Someone's just jealous."Yvonne looked around at everyone who was turning on her like she was a villain. Suddenly, she understood what it felt like to suffer in silence. It seemed nothing she did would prove her innocence. In fact, she didn't need to do anything—these people were already blaming her for everything.She rubbed her temples. She seriously didn't have time to play games with these teenagers."Are you going or not, Yvonne? You can leave Class 6 if you don't go!" A guy opposite her spoke the words that echoed her thoughts.She secretly agreed with him—she didn't want to stay in Class 6 anymore."Let's go together. I'm going, too." Shawn helped ease the tension. People would talk about Yvonne if she refused to attend the party. If she went, it would be on her own terms. There wouldn't be anything to talk about.She understood what he meant and forced a smile. "Fine, I'll go."She would att

All the students returned to their classrooms after the assembly, but the girls of Class 1 pushed Tiffany into Class 6. Tiffany looked shy as she walked in.Charles' friends loved Tiffany, so they perked up when they saw her. One cried, "If it isn't Charles' better half! We're over here!"Tiffany blushed at that, and Charles showed no sign of stopping his friend. The other guys in the class started cheering.Sophia's expression turned ugly when she heard that. "What are you guys even talking about? Aren't you afraid you'll scare her off?""Yeah, yeah. We all know you have a crush on Charles—just be frank and admit you're jealous! Don't act like you're actually worried we'll scare Tiffany off!""Exactly! It's only a matter of time, anyway. Can't you see how good Charles and Tiffany look together?"As the guys cheered, Tiffany was pushed to Charles' side, her face as red as a tomato. She said hesitantly, "It's my birthday today, Charles. I wanted to invite you to join us for karaok

Tiffany couldn't help blushing at her friends' envy. "Don't say that. I'm sure you guys will meet the right guy one day.""That's a formal announcement, isn't it? Looks like you and Charles are really getting together soon!""Of course they are! Charles doesn't like hanging out with girls—have you seen him with anyone other than Tiff?""There's Yvonne Sullivan, isn't there?""Her? She's just clinging to him!"The girls mocked Yvonne with everything they had. Everyone in school knew Yvonne was Charles' doormat—he wouldn't even give her the time of the day if not for the Sullivan and Lambert families being on good terms.Charles soon walked off the stage. One of Tiffany's friends patted her and said excitedly, "Look, Tiff! Charles is coming offstage!"Tiffany's blush deepened as she looked at Charles, who was close to her. He saw her, too.Tiffany's friends grew even more excited. "Charles is so handsome! He's looking at you!""This is my first time seeing him look at a girl so

At Yvonne's words, Shawn instantly said, "I didn't mean that!"She laughed when she saw him taking her seriously. "I was just joking. You didn't have to take me seriously."He was relieved to hear that. Yvonne continued, "Why didn't I ever notice how easy it is to trick you, Shawn?""I…" He didn't know how to respond to that.Yvonne got the Arnica cream he'd given her. "My back is almost back to normal. I think this would probably be better used on your arm."She put it on Shawn's desk. He looked at it and pushed it back to her. "I gave that to you. Besides, I have thick skin. I'll be fine even without applying anything."Charles was irritated as he watched their interactions from the back row. Was Yvonne that desperate for a guy? She was practically glued to Shawn! He had to admit Shawn looked good, but not to the extent that Yvonne couldn't take her eyes off him!The more he thought about it, the more irritated he got. In the end, he shot to his feet and stormed out of the cla

The teacher snapped, "Hand in your homework once you're done, or you're not going home today!"The students were in their senior year, and every day felt like a race against time. It was hard to believe some students still refused to do their homework at this juncture.Charles was left with no choice but to sit down. The literature teacher, Jessica Clark, had always been the strictest among all their teachers. It looked like he really wouldn't be going home that day if he couldn't finish the homework she'd assigned.He looked at the papers before him, feeling irritated. He didn't know why it was so important to do homework. As he started working on them, he had to stop for a minute for each question.He hadn't memorized any poems or sayings, nor did he know anything of the stories behind them. He'd never paid attention during class.One of the guys near him took pity on him and said, "This question is in our notes. Just check your notes and copy the answer.""Really?" Charles p

Yvonne didn't miss the flicker of glee in Tiffany's eyes. The latter concealed it almost immediately, but she was still too slow.She pretentiously stepped forward to hold Yvonne's hand and say, "Everyone's just joking around, Yvie. It's normal for friends to get mad at each other now and then, right? You… Don't tell me you took Charles seriously!""Exactly! We were just joking, Yvonne!""There's no need to take things so far!"The other guys realized how severe the situation was when they saw the look on Charles' face, but they didn't take things too seriously. After all, Yvonne had always been the one who'd given more than she'd gotten. They didn't think Charles had anything to lose by cutting ties with her."Fine, then. We're over." Charles clenched his fists. He didn't believe for a second that Yvonne would abandon him for Shawn.Tiffany couldn't suppress her delight anymore when she heard that. If he and Yvonne genuinely severed ties, there wouldn't be any other girls in his

Before Shawn could raise a fist, everyone watched as Yvonne grabbed her hot water flask and made a beeline for Charles.With a loud splash, silence descended upon the room. Then, everyone gasped in unison, after which the only sound left was the steady dripping of water on the floor.Yvonne had drenched Charles in the hot water from her flask. Steam rose from his soaked clothes, and his face turned red."I can overlook you insulting me, but what makes you think you can insult Shawn?" Her tone was cold and devoid of any hint of love. She was acting the complete opposite of how she'd been in the past.The rest of the class didn't dare speak, afraid Yvonne would also splash them with scalding water."Charles!" Tiffany's voice came from outside the classroom. She'd brought Charles his breakfast—this was not the scene she'd expected to see. "Are you okay? Are you burned anywhere?"She looked at him anxiously, but he responded with a sharp, malevolent glare. "Yvonne Sullivan!" he snapp

"Why, you—" Shawn's expression turned hideous.When Sophia saw him raise the ruler, she cried, "I'm your sister, Shawn! Are you really going to hit me with that?"He'd always been protective of her since they were children; he'd never actually hit her. At most, he would only threaten or scare her.She sniffled when she saw that he was genuinely angry. "I'm your sister. Are you really going to hit me over an outsider like Yvonne? I don't want you as my brother anymore!"She stormed back into the classroom and flopped onto her table before bursting into tears. The other students had no idea what had happened, so they circled her."Sophia, what's wrong? Did Shawn hit you?""Yeah! What's wrong?"They comforted her. Just then, Shawn came back into the classroom.Yvonne looked at Sophia, who looked like she was crying after being reprimanded. She said to Shawn, "I didn't know you were capable of scolding someone when you're so mild-tempered.""I'm not," he said."Of course you are!

"You think it's too little?" William asked."Of course!" Yvonne blurted. William had been spot on, and she'd answered him without realizing what she was doing. She quickly calmed down and said, "I didn't mean it like that…"William patted her head while swirling his whiskey. "These are schemes between adults. You should stay out of this."Yvonne fell silent. She had no choice but to return to her room when she saw William head upstairs. The rest of the night passed restlessly.…Yvonne went to school the following day. She was particularly eye-catching that day because of her forehead wound.Charles had already arrived. He was relieved to see Yvonne show up in class. It seemed Regina hadn't lied to him."What's up with your head, Yvonne?" one of the guys by Charles' side asked. "Is this the result of another grand gesture of love? What did you do this time? Fall down the stairs again?""What else could it be? Why else would she suddenly have a wound on her forehead?"Another
