NovelEnglishChapter 175 Chapter 175 KASMINE.
Something was off.
June sat at the kitchen table, absentmindedly stirring the coffee in her cup, the spoon. clinking against the ceramic in a slow, repetitive rhythm.
She wasn't drinking it.
She was just staring into the dark liquid, lost in her own thoughts.
"What's wrong?" I asked, leaning against the counter. "You don't look happy." She sighed deep, heavy-before lifting the cup to her lips and taking a small sip. Then, slowly, she turned to face me.
"Kasmine..." She paused, looking at me.
Something about how she looked atmade my stomach twist, and my palms feel suddenly too warm.
For a fleeting second, the worst possible thought crossed my mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDoes she know what I and Kester did last night? I swallowed, forcing myself to keep my expression neutral. "Yes?" She hesitated as if weighing her words. "Have you ever spoken to your brother about me? Even once?" My stomach dropped, and that guilt I'd been trying so hard to bury ccrawling back.
"I mean..." she continued, her fingers tightening around the cup. "After the last twe spoke?" I forced a quick nod. "Uhm... Yeah. Totally. I did." I fucking lied.

Since when did I becsuch a liar? June studied.me. Her gaze wasn't just casual curiosity-it was searching, picking apart my words, my body language, and the slight twitch of my fingers on the counter.
Then she spoke again.
"Does he sleep in your room often?" My heart jumped out of my mouth, and I watched it run out the door.
The breath in my lungs also vanished.
For a second, I forgot how to breathe.
The air in the kitchen suddenly felt too thick.
What was she implying? Why did I feel like June knew something she shouldn't? Selene above! My fingers clenched around the counter as I scrambled for an answer.
Think, Kasmine. Think.
"No. He doesn't," I said too quickly, too forced. "He... uh..." I shifted, one hand going to my waist, the other gripping the edge of the counter as I searched for the right words. "He does that when he's angry... Just to have sspace." June didn't respond right away.
She just sat there, watching me. Not blinking or reacting. She was just processing.
Damn it.
"He gets angry too easily and way too often, I guess." she finally murmured, tilting her head slightly. "Because I've noticed he spends most of his nights in your room." 2/4 Chapter 175 Another pause.
"I just..." She inhaled deeply as if steadying herself.
My heart slammed against my nibs, pounding so hard I swore she could hear it. This is bad, Too bad.
If she continues his way, she'd find out about our secret affair before we know it.
"Kester is just like that. June," I said quickly, forcing a small, reassuring smile. You don't have to worry about it. He'll caround." She didn't look convinced.
But she didn't push further, either.

I needed to text Jake.
Ex now, he was probably drowning in worry, trying to reachon a phone that no long existed.

I knew his number by heart.
Fingers shaking slightly, I typed it into the messaging app.
Take. It's Kasmine. I'm sorry for not reaching out to you sooner. My brother found
our secret phone and destroyed it.
But I am fine and will be back in three days, Kisses. " I hesitated for half a second before hitting send.
"Thanks, June." Chapter 175 She didn't say anything. Just nodded, her expression totally unreadable.
