Chapter 134
Chapter 134:
“You don’t look well. What’s up? Feeling something strange inside?†Ronald teased, glancing at Ian’s chest.
Ian shot him a cold look.
“No way p>
Ronald nodded with a sly grin.
“Sure, sure. Then stop looking so gloomy. Let’s just enjoy Stephen’s sister’s company. Can’t you see how beautiful she is? Or is her beauty too much for you to handle p>
Ava and Luke found a couch and sat down together. Stephen looked at Luke and asked,
“How long have you known her p>
Luke was about to answer, but noticed Stephen acting like a protective older brother. Ava cleared her throat and answered for him.
“Steph, we’ve been friends for a while. We used to meet in the library, right, Luke p>
Luke chuckled, as if remembering something fondly.
“Yeah. She was so focused on her studies. I still remember when she first bumped into me. She apologized three times, and when I said it was okay, she insisted on paying for my shirt because she spilled coffee on it p>
Ava was surprised.
“You remember that p>
“Yeah. How could I forget our first meeting p>
Ava smiled at the memory as well. After all, Luke was the only boy who had become her friend when everyone else seemed to enjoy bullying her.
Suddenly, she heard a sneer from the other side. She turned to look at Ian, whom she had been ignoring all this time.
Ian met her gaze and said,
“It seems like she enjoys bumping into boys p>
Your next story begins at. com
Ava’s eyebrows shot up. She understood what he was insinuating, recalling the day she had run into Ian outside the basketball court.
“What do you mean?†Luke asked.
Ian shifted his gaze to Luke and replied,
“I mean, maybe she does it on purpose p>
Luke cut him off,
“She’s not like other girls p>
Ava turned to Luke, feeling a warmth in her heart. There was someone who always stood up for her, no matter the situation.
“Oh, really?†Ian said with a mocking tone.
“Ian,†Stephen’s voice sounded sharply, a clear warning. He didn’t want anyone talking negatively about his sister.
Ian looked at Stephen and sighed.
“Alright, I won’t say anything p>
But Luke was determined to make his feelings clear. He took Ava’s hand in his and turned to Stephen.
“She’s very special to me. I know her. If she says she’s not interested in someone, that means she wants to keep her distance. You’re her brother now, so I hope you’ll protect her like she deserves p>
