All Chapters of My Husband's Brother: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Evie The gathering turns out to be bigger than expected. Lilian and I exchange a look as we come into one of the halls in the university. “I’ve never been here?” she says, looking around and fixing her eyes and the decorated ceiling. “Me neither. “ “You shouldn’t have worried you were too fancy, “ she says eventually and I laugh. “Yeah. Whatever. We look awesome. “We greet our colleagues, and I quickly catch up. We are not the only students he’s invited. Maybe some of Tyson’s female fans are disappointed because they aren’t special, but I doubt it. They bask in any chance to be near him, with or without other people around. I scan the place and find him quickly. Tyson is accepting greetings not only from those female fans he has but also from the usual old academic guys. I feel Lilian’s hand on my back. “Come on, “ she says, “You will see him later. ““Yeah. “I search his eyes in the crowd, but Tyson is busy shaking hands and answering the usual questions. “Let’s have some

Evie I stand there unmoving like a rabbit caught in the lights. Lilian doesn't notice I am freaking out and walks into the bar. I move after her. Why the hell is he here? My palms are sweaty and I hate myself for offering to come here. Why did I even suggest it? Lilian greets George and Jules turns his back on her. What an ass. Lilian pretends not to notice his reaction and greets Killian. She doesn’t know about him, me and Tyson. I only mentioned we hung out after the party that night. “Hey, I remember you, “ she smiles as Killian greets her, “You were at our party, right? ““Yeah, “ he nods, then looks at me. “Hey, Evie. ““Hey, “ I mutter and look away, fixing my eyes on my shoes. “You didn’t call. “He says, smiling and even Jules turns to look at me. “Why would she have to call?” George asks, and waves a hand, “We agreed to hang out. “ I don’t fool them, though, because Geroge looks between me and dKillian and grins, conspiratorially. “I feel like there's a story here

Dominic I light a cigarette and go to the back garden. I lean against one of the columns and look at the place. It’s nicely decorated, even though we’ll be inside. Those things are very important to Olivia, something my mother never did. We are supposed to attend an official dinner later and I am not sure if Max will show up. I hear footsteps a few moments later and smile without turning. “Thanks. “I say and Max comes to stand next to me. He is dressed in a suit and even has a tie on. “Nothing to thank me for, “ he says. “You were right- I should be more careful. “I nod. “I’ve done a lot of stupid shit on my end too, but at least no one found out. ““Great advice, “ he laughs. “It is, isn’t it?”We chat a bit more and Max lights a cigarette too. “I am leaving in a few days. “ he says. ‘Are you ready?” “Were you when you left for the US?”“No. But that's not always a bad thing. “ I tap the ash from my cigarette and push my hands in the pocket of my trousers to avoid lightin

Tyson “Let’s have lunch over there, “ Nicole points at the nice small restaurant at the corner everybody loves and I totally hate. “Do you think pets are allowed?” she goes on, “ Or we can sit outside?”Nicole says something else but I don’t hear her. I find myself walking after her as she is choosing a table, then smiles at the waiter. “I’ve learned some French, I told you I would, “she says and places her palms on the white cover proudly. The truth is she wants to prove she learns faster than I do. The waiter brings the menu and I stare at it blindly. Why was she there, in the fucking park of all places possible. I close my hand around the menu, crumpling the paper but Nicole doesn’t notice. Flynn comes over and places his head on my tight. “Hey, buddy, “I tell him quietly. I sometimes feel like he knows that something's wrong and he does this. “What should I get?” she asks and I look at her above the rim of the menu, “Whatever you want, ““But I don’t know what most things

Evie The first time you see your words in a magazine is something you remember forever. In my case, it’s for several reasons. I am walking out of the university, Lillian is next to me, as I flip the pages of the journal and check where my piece is. We stand in the middle of the stairs. “There it is!” Lilian exclaims because she sees the page before me. “I can’t. “ I say and shut the journal. “I can’t read it. I don't want to look at my picture either. ““Evie!” she exclaims, “Come on! ““Fine. “ I open the magazine again and once we are done cackling and being excited, we continue walking. A few of my colleagues mutter when they see us. “Forge them, “ she says, “They are only looking for stuff to talk about. Besides, they are jealous. “ “I should thank him, “ I say and she looks at me pointedly. “No. “ Lilian says, “I thought you were done talking to him. “ I don’t answer her because she doesn’t know about the last time with Tyson. I told her we broke up and not that w
