Young men and women swayed their bodies to the pulsating music under the dim light in Nocturne Club late at night.
The music was deafening in Aaron’s cars.
Ugh. These writhing individuals. They’re more obscene than the last.
He seldom visited such places. The only time he had been there was during his university days with his classmates. His distaste for the decadent atmosphere prevalent there deterred any subsequent visits. Moreover, he had told Melanie that a bar wasn’t a place for an innocent girl like her. With Melanie’s kind and pure character, going there would do nothing but a stain on her innocence.
Thus, he was dumbfounded and shocked when he arrived at the bar after following Melanie.
She seemed to know the place well. However, as soon as he stepped in, he lost her.
Meanwhile, after entering the bar, Melanie went to find the handsome guy who had asked her out.
The handsome guy’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw her.
First, he gave Melanie a drug. After watching her swallow it, he then invited her to dance.
Perhaps it was the medicine’s influence that made Melanie let herself go even more on the dance floor.
She was basically dancing cheek–to–cheek with the handsome man.
Such scenes were too common to the people in the vicinity.
The duo looked as if their entire nervous system was under the control of the midnight liquor.
They simply let loose and reveled in the bar.
After searching for quite some time, Aaron still couldn’t find Melanie.
While he was still debating whether he had followed her to the wrong place, he suddenly spotted Melanie on the dance floor, obliviously swaying alongside a man.
It was a version of Melanie he had never seen before.
She wore heavy makeup, her expression a picture of indulgent mystique.
She was utterly oblivious to the man behind her, who was caressing her body.
Before that, she was seen wearing a jacket, which was now gone. She was only dressed in a tube top, which seemed like it could fall off at any moment.
Had she not been his little sister who had grown up right under his nose, he would have thought he had mistaken her for someone else.
He was utterly dumbfounded.

As her movements with the handsome man behind her grew increasingly passionate, he held Melanie’s face and kissed her.
Aaron’s face drastically changed, and he quickly strode toward Melanie,
“Is that thing! gave you good?” the handsome man asked.
The euphoric Melanie enthusiastically responded to the handsome man, “It’s fantastic, but I’m curious about your prowess.”
“Shall we go to the restroom?”
“Alright!”
When the two were about to head to the restroom, someone abruptly grabbed Melanie’s hand.
Livid, she lashed out impatiently, “Which idiot is it?”
Upon hearing that harsh remark, Aaron felt a sudden surge of anger, his veins throbbing intensely on his forehead. “Melaniel” he shouted.
It jolted Melanie into a sudden awakening.
“Aaron!”
Immediately. Aaron dragged Melanie out.
Unbeknownst to them, someone lurking in the corner of the bar had captured pictures of Melanie from eating jelly beans to the current scene.
Seeing the beautiful woman he asked out getting dragged away, the handsome guy reached out to stop
them.
Alas, the handsome man was forcefully pushed away by Aaron. “Scram!”
Melanie was flustered, her mind in a chaotic whirl as she followed Aaron out of the bar.
When Aaron tossed her into the car, the evening breeze that hit Melanie’s face sobered her up a bit more.
Why is Aaron in the bar?
Aaron’s face was clouded with anger, a vein throbbing visibly on his forehead. “How could you go to a bar in the middle of the night? And to make matters worse, you were so close to a man you’ve never met before.”
Witnessing the scene earlier felt like a harsh slap for Aaron.
All those years, his understanding of Melanie had been absolutely wrong.
“Aaron, listen to me,” Melanie pleaded anxiously. “I’ve only started coming to the bar recently. There’s been so much going on at home. I’ve been worried sick, and I’ve been having trouble sleeping because of
it
Aaron still had a look of doubt in his eyes.

Panic bubbled in Melanie’s heart. She could never let anyone at home find out what happened. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have acknowledged her as the young lady of the Leedon family.
Finished
In a state of panic, she burst into tears and reached out to embrace Aaron before offering him a passionate
kiss.
Aaron’s eyes widened and his entire body tensed.
“Aaron. I like you. I… I never told anyone about it. I couldn’t. All this while, I kept it in my heart. I was afraid you’d look down on me and despise me. You treat me as a sister, but… But I ended up liking and admiring you as a man.”
Tears of grievance filled Melanie’s eyes.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped herself.
“Aaron, please pretend you never heard these words from me. I shouldn’t have stayed at home. Sorry, Aaron. I know I’ve given you a shock. I’m sorry! I will keep this affection in my heart and not let our parents know. Just pretend I’m talking nonsense, okay? I had some drinks and I’m suffering from insomnia.”
Aaron grasped Melanie’s hand.
He was in utter turmoil. “Stop hitting yourself! Let me think this through.”
He never thought that Melanie would fall for him.
Moreover, it wasn’t the kind of affection shared between siblings.
“I was so infatuated with you that I couldn’t sleep because I was consumed by guilt. That’s why I found myself frequenting bars recently, trying to drown my sorrows. I thought maybe I could fall for someone else, not just him. But, when that man kissed me just now, I felt nothing but disgust. I…”
As Melanie was speaking, she found herself embracing Aaron once again.
“Sorry, Aaron.”
Aaron’s hand hung stiffly in midair for a few seconds. Eventually, it gently descended and tenderly embraced Melanie.
“There’s no need to apologize. This isn’t your fault. Give me a moment to think.”
Melanie likes me…
Upon careful consideration, he realized he wasn’t particularly repulsed by it.
Melanie let out a silent sigh of relief. She knew her brothers all too well. I’ve got this one.
From afar, Curtis pressed the shutter on his phone, capturing the moment when Aaron and Melanie were locked in a kiss and embrace.
After making sure the photo was clear, Curtis felt a wave of disgust.
Melanie really accepts all comers. She flirts with anyone!

Whenever he thought of Aurelia, his heart ached.
He wanted to win Aurelia back.
The man Aurelia was currently with was nowhere near as handsome as him. Curtis could not allow the years of shared emotions and experiences between him and Aurelia end just like that. He knew Aurelia and her sentimental nature. As long as he was sincere, he was certain Aurelia would forgive him.
The next morning. Aurelia descended the stairs with a sense of guilt.
A simple breakfast of milk and sandwiches had been prepared.
After quickly finishing her meal, she prepared to make a swift exit.
The events from last night were still vivid in her mind, she didn’t have the audacity to pretend as though nothing had happened..
As she grabbed her bag and moved to change her shoes, Matthew’s relatively cold voice sounded behind her.
“Didn’t you say you were going to get the first aid kit last night?”
As a result, she was nowhere to be seen all night.
Matthew’s accusations made Aurelia thump with nervousness. She took a deep breath, turned around, and responded with a smile.
“What first aid kit?”
She had a look as if she couldn’t recall anything.
With a restrained gaze, Matthew stared at Aurelia. His lips curved slightly as he said, “Oh, you’ve forgotten everything? Do you need my help to jog your memory?”
“Thanks! But really, it’s not necessary. They’re just some insignificant memories. Since I’ve forgotten it, then so be it. Anyway, I’ve arranged to visit Benjamin on set with a friend today, so I’ll get going first.”
