A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 165

Every year, Adam Huo would send his brother Robert a gift, which he would leave on Robert's desk.

As Robert dried his hair with a towel, he glanced at his table only to find it empty. Where was the gift that Adam talked about?

Had he forgotten to leave it there?

Robert couldn't help but feel strange.

Despite taking a shower, a whole day of teaching still left Robert a bit too woozy to contemplate on this.

In any case, Robert didn't really care what the gift turned out to be. He cared much more about Adam's thoughts behind the gift.

Adam should still be satisfied with his older brother.

Robert decided to ask Adam about it when he came back the next day. Perhaps his little brother simply forgot to leave the gift. No longer concerned, Robert noticed that it was already late, and wanted to get some sleep.

Turning to his bed, Robert immediately felt something was wrong with it. The bed was well-made except for the bump in the middle, which didn't seem to be a pillow.

Was there someone in there?

Robert was taken aback. Frowning, he carefully approached the bed and pulled back the covers.

In front of him lay Linda Xia. She was fast asleep on the bed, her eyes closed and her breaths steady.

What on earth was happening? How could Linda be here?

"Linda, " Robert called out gently. Linda didn't respond, lying motionless in bed like a porcelain doll. Her unearthly beauty still seemed so ethereal, it was almost suffocating.

Suppressing his desires, Robert shook Linda's body but got no reaction. Could she have been drugged?

Robert put his fingers under Linda's nose, and was relieved to feel her even breathing. It was normal and stable, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.

On the nightstand, there was a piece of paper beneath a drinking glass. Robert picked it up and recognized Adam's handwriting.

"Big brother, this is my birthday gift to you. Do you like it? Remember to enjoy yourself! One has to pursue his happiness, and sometimes that means taking special measures. After all, it's every man for himself out here. Tonight, if not for yourself, I hope for my sake, you could... Well, your little brother will stop right there. She's not waking up until morning, so whatever you want to do with her, get on with it."

Reading the note, Robert didn't know whether to cry or laugh. What did he mean to do it for his brother, if not for him? It seemed that Adam still harbored intense hatred against Charles Mu.

But what happened years ago wasn't really Charles' fault. In the end, everyone was to blame.

More accurately, everyone was young and naive, so things turned out like that.

The only thing Robert wanted to do was bury all that in the past.

Sitting on the bedside and looking at the woman in her silent slumber, Robert would be lying if he said he didn't feel anything.

Robert felt very conflicted. He liked Linda Xia a lot, and really wanted to seize the moment.

He would be taking advantage of her, but just as his brother said, it's every man for himself out here.

Since he liked her, he must have her!

Why would he just leave her with Charles Mu?

Robert didn't want to spend his whole life regretting losing Linda like that.

What should he do?

At the moment, an incredible beauty was lying in front of him. What should he...

"Why did I choose to leave back then? If I had never left, we could have ended up together, couldn't we?" Robert mumbled to himself.

His eyes were filled with sadness.

What one can't have always turns out to be most precious. Linda had clearly told him that she wanted Robert to keep his distance because she was already engaged.

But Robert still couldn't help himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become some Chemistry teacher in Z High School.

The Huo Clan's original de facto leaders, Robert's parents, left for a trip around the world. All of the clan's enterprises became Robert's burden. And the Huo Clan wasn't limited to Robert and Adam's bloodline.

Many people were greedily eyeing Robert's position. If he couldn't properly maneuver his situation, he would certainly be attacked from all sides and cast into the abyss.

He couldn't allow himself to fall. He still had a younger brother to protect.

Linda Xia was currently dressed in a white shirt and tight jeans. The clothes looked simple, comfortable, and pretty.

After debating with himself, Robert decided not to take advantage of Linda. Otherwise, Linda would definitely hate him when she wakes up, and they wouldn't even be able to stay friends.

A long time ago, his brother Adam had told him about this. Robert was just joking with his brother, but he never imagined that Adam would really kidnap Linda.

With a sigh, Robert covered up Linda again. He thought of sending Linda back, but he couldn't part with her. For two years, Linda and Robert never had a chance to spend time alone, quietly enjoying the moment together.

Pulling out a blanket for himself, Robert set up the sofa beside and settled on it. From the sofa, Linda didn't seem far away. Robert could see her when he turned his head. Linda silently laid in bed, very much like a doll.

Turning off the lights, Robert closed his eyes and tried to empty his mind. Since his brother brought this gift to him, he would simply enjoy a nice night with Linda.

Even though he wasn't doing anything, he felt content.

With his eyes shut, Robert couldn't fall asleep. Tossing and turning, he couldn't help looking at Linda who was lying there peacefully. With such a beauty at his side, Robert felt his control slipping several times. Although he considered himself to be an honorable man, he found it impossible to restrain himself from someone he adored so much.

He just didn't want Linda to wake up hating him.
