0 Chapter 93 It felt like a long tsince I had last rode a bicycle.
"Bicycle." I pointed to the side.
You could now rent a bicycle by just scanning a QR code with your phone. Conrad went to scan one, and I was about to do the swhen he stopped me. "You've been drinking so you can't ride one." "Do they even check for drunk cycling?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Yes, they do, and-" Conrad pulled my arm. Unlike Chris' painful squeezes, Conrad's touch was gentle. "You drank, so it's dangerous." Conrad was the perfect gentleman.

He sat on it and helpedonto the back seat. "Hold on tight, Maddie. We don't want you falling." I clung to his shirt. "Okay." The night breeze brushed against us. The impression Conrad left onwas that of a youth who cycled. Chris, on the other hand, never rode a bicycle. He only rode a motorcycle. They were biological brothers, but their personalities were entirely different- one a gentleman, and the other wild and untamed.
"In a bad mood today?" Conrad asked.
"No, I'm fine." I stubbornly denied it.
"Still can't get over Chris, can you?" he asked again.
I huffed and punched him lightly. "That's not true. I got over him long ago. After today, we won't have anything to do with each other. He is him, and I am me." Conrad stopped talking and continued cycling. I thought of something and said, "Taketo the hotel. I still have work tomorrow." "Maddie." Conrad suddenly called out my name.
I was about to respond when I heard him ask. "Why do you only have eyes for Chris? Why is he the only one you see between us?" I clung harder to his shirt, my heart skipping a beat. I wasn't completely clueless. I had sensed he had feelings forlong ago. I just didn't want to admit it.
It looked like he never really just sawas a sister.
"That's because he's my fiance. That's what everyone told me," I replied.
"Now that you've broken up with him, do L." Conrad paused.

Conrad grabbedand, with a push of his foot, parked the bike. "I'll take your upstairs." "It's okay." I tried to pull my hand away.
Conrad didn't let go. He tightened his grip oninstead. "Maddie, I don't want to be your brother. I want to take care of you for the rest of my life." I stood there, feeling a lump in my throat.
"I would have taken this to the grave if you stayed two of you broers. But since the up, I'm fighting for a chance, Conrad said earnestly. His words weighed heavily onin the quiet of the night, making it hard forto breathe. I almost couldn't speak.
I pinched my palm hard and slowly raised my head. "I only see you as a brother, always have and always will." Chapter 90
Disappointment clouded his eyes. He spoke in a pained voice. "Can you not seeas a brother from now on?" "Ms. Crown, why are you up so late? Don't you have work tomorrow?" Brandon walked over at that moment. Under the night sky, Brandon wore dark gray loungewear and hotel slippers, but he took steady steps. While I was lost in thought, I felt a tight grip on my wrist.
