Not neatly and in the same position, he woke up in the morning.
“Sleeping together with both of you? Oh, when did that start?”
Stiana, who learned that I slept with Damian every night, unexpectedly liked it. It seemed good for siblings to get along well.
She asked me to take good care of Damian and expressed her wish for us to get along well in the future.
For the first time, we agreed on something, and I responded positively.
After waking up, I chatted with Damian for a while and then ate soup. Then, I played chess alone on the bed and read a few books in the library.
About an hour later, when I entered my room, I found a letter on the desk.
It was a letter from Felicia.
[I’ll be waiting for you in front of the Hoxha Village library at 11 a.m. on the 6th. To my beloved sister, Felicia ]“…All of a sudden?”
The date was today.
“…What time is it now?”
There was an hour left until the appointed time. Sending a letter on the day of the appointment!
“This… Felicia!”
“…Reese! What’s going on?”
Stiana’s voice came from below.
I couldn’t avoid it, so I quickly took out a dress. Even with the help of a maid, I stumbled and fell when my dress got caught in my heel, causing Stiana downstairs to make a commotion.
“Reese!”
“Sorry!”
I tied my tangled hair into one. Then, I rushed to the library out of breath. When I arrived at the meeting place with an hour left until the appointment time, I saw Felicia holding an umbrella.
“Oh? Reese!”
She also noticed me and greeted me with a wave.
“…You!”
“Did you run here? You really haven’t changed. You’re still wearing a plain dress.”
“It’s better than you, who brought an umbrella when there’s no sunlight. Also… if you want to meet me in the future, send a letter at least three days in advance! Don’t set up appointments unilaterally!”
“Hmm. Hoxha Village is still the same…? Nothing has changed.”
Felicia turned away as if stung.
“Felicia!”
“Sorry. Instead, I’ll buy you something delicious. There are many nice coffee houses in Hoxha Village, right?”
“Strawberry cake!”
“Got it, I’ll buy three slices of strawberry cake for you.”
Felicia pushed my back.
“What about the other siblings?”
“Everyone is busy. That’s why I came alone!”
Felicia wasn’t someone who would visit without any particular reason. When she noticed my awkward expression, she shyly smiled.
“I’ve set a wedding date and came to give you an invitation. I wanted to give it to you personally.”
“…Really?”
Although I knew she was getting married for a while, receiving a wedding invitation… it didn’t feel real. Felicia also blushed, perhaps feeling embarrassed.
“Also… I’ll be at the Polon Mansion three days before the wedding. The last time. I hope you’ll be there too, Reese.”
“Of course! I will. Anyway, what I’m doing now is just sitting in my room playing chess.”
I hastened my steps, wanting to hear more details. At that moment, Felicia slowed down her pace.
“…But Reese, about that guy over there.”
“Hmm?”
“Not ‘that kid,’ right?”
When Felicia referred to ‘that kid,’ she meant only one person. As I turned my head, Yuric was looking at me.
He was now in simple attire, perhaps going to the training ground. When Yuric and I made eye contact, he smiled faintly.
“Exactly! Yuric Penton! How can he be so handsome? You shouldn’t call him ‘that kid’ anymore, right? He’s big… and has broad shoulders…”
“Felicia, let’s go our way now.”
“Why? You should greet him too. Oh, I want to greet him too at this moment. We’re not complete strangers to each other, right?”
No one could stop Felicia. She walked ahead of me toward Yuric. Yuric also stopped his steps because of Felicia and me approaching.
“Hello, Viscount Penton.”
“Hello, Felicia.”
“Oh, you haven’t forgotten my name.”
“Of course.”
They were warm to each other. For some reason, feeling embarrassed, I tried to pull Felicia’s arm, and she gave me a stern look.
“Did you come to see Reese in Hoxha Village?”
Yuric asked first.
“Yes, actually, I’m getting married soon, so I came to give Reese an invitation.”
“Sincere congratulations. I’d like to send a gift. Can I get your address?”
“…Well, if you really want to send it, you can come to my wedding.”
“What?”
Yuric was taken aback by the unexpected suggestion. I was also shocked and pinched Felicia’s arm secretly.
But she didn’t stop.
“I’ve decided to stay at the Polon Mansion for about three days before the wedding. Since the viscount is close to Reese, I really want to invite you to my wedding. Usually, weddings last for about three days, so it’s the whole three days.”
“…”
“Of course, there’s a cottage nearby where the viscount can stay. Oh, you can bring your younger sister too. The more people, the better, right?”
It was an unexpected proposal. Yuric must have felt burdened. I, thinking of Yuric feeling uncomfortable, secretly shook my head, but Felicia didn’t stop.
“It will be fun, Viscount. Many ladies will come, and many gentlemen too. In fact, if there’s a nice person, I’m eager to introduce him to Reese. Usually, they say you meet your fate at a wedding, right?”
Felicia turned her gaze to me.
It was so obvious. But Yuric wouldn’t fall for it.
“You don’t have to come, Yuric.”
“I’ll go.”
“Really?”
“Yes, I’ll definitely go.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
