He Mistook Me for Her. His Brother Fell for Me Chapter 07

After that day, I saw Julian often.

But we never spoke.

He was busy with work, but he still made time to visit Chloe.

He came to class to find her and sat in on her seminars.

Once, he sat right behind me.

They whispered to each other. Their voices were low, but I still lost focus for the entire morning.

Halfway through, my pen slipped and fell to the floor..

I bent down to pick it up.

My hand brushed another hand.

The moment our fingers touched, his movement paused too.

Then he calmly placed the pen in my palm, his voice light.

“Here.”

Throughout the entire exchange, Chloe stood beside us and watched coldly.

My mind was a mess.

When class ended, I realized I had written Julian’s name in my notebook without thinking.

Startled, I was about to scribble it out.

Suddenly, boiling water splashed down my back, bringing a sharp sting.

I turned around and saw Chloe holding a cup.

It was empty.

She looked innocent as she apologized.

“Sorry. It was an accident. But the water was cold, so it’s not a big deal. I’ll pay for your dress.”

I instinctively argued, “That was clearly hot water. You did it on purpose.”

Chloe smiled and turned to a classmate who hadn’t left yet.

“You saw it, right? It was cold.”

That person had been eager to suck up to Julian for ages. Seeing the chance, he nodded hard.

“Yeah. It was cold.”

Just then, Julian came back in.

He had stepped out to take a call.

Seeing the scene, he frowned.

“What happened?”

The classmate immediately explained everything.

Julian glanced at me.

He seemed to have something urgent to handle, so he didn’t ask many questions.

Instead, he chose the smoothest solution.

“I’ll have someone send you clothes later. Chloe didn’t mean it.”

Then his voice paused, and his eyes turned cold.

“But I don’t think lying is a good habit. Do you, Miss Reed?”

At that moment, I didn’t want to say another word.

“I understand.”

Between Chloe and me, no matter what the truth was, of course he would believe her.
