Chapter 793: Unable to Resist
After lunch, Charles dropped Violet off at school and spent the whole afternoon and evening organizing her junior high notes. Once done, he drove to pick her up after classes.
Austin stood at the school gate, watching their car disappear. His lips were pressed tight, fists clenched so hard his nails dug into his skin.
"Do you like her?" someone asked, certain. Austin, with his photographic memory, remembered it clearly. His face darkened, and he walked to the parking lot without looking back.
The woman caught up, "If you like her, go for it! You're just as good as Charles. Why let him have her?"
Austin's expression soured. In a dimly lit spot, he stopped, turned, and glared at her, "I told you, stay away from me."
She hurriedly said, "I'm your mother, I care about you! If you like her, pursue her! If you can't even do that, what can you achieve?"
Austin's face twitched, "Stop it. Violet is my sister! I don't have those feelings for her." He saw her as a sister, nothing more.
The woman laughed eerily. "She's not your blood sister. If you like her, go for it! Men can use any means for their goals," she said.
Austin gripped his backpack tightly, veins showing. "I do things honestly. I won't stoop to that."
He turned to leave but then stopped, "If you show up again, I'll call the police."
She quickly caught up, "Great achievements aren't bound by trivial matters! If you hesitate, you'll lose her. Violet is young; you still have a chance. Once they marry, it'll be too late."
Austin, unsure if he understood, walked faster and then ran.
The woman, unable to keep up, shouted, "I'll help you get her! Trust me, Violet will fall for you! Charles took your girl."
As Austin ran, her voice echoed in his mind, tormenting him.
No! Violet was his real sister. He hadn't fallen for her. He just wanted to protect her. Carter and Lassie taught him to be upright. One wrong move could ruin everything.
Even if he envied Charles, he couldn't do anything wrong. No way!
Unaware of any danger, Charles brought Violet home. He took her to the study to go over her assignments and review junior high material. He was patient and good at teaching. Violet got everything quickly, and even the tough stuff only took two explanations.
Violet tilted her head, staring at Charles, mesmerized. His sharp chin, long neck, broad shoulders, and the dim light highlighting his features made him look really handsome. She couldn't get enough of looking at him. Noticing her gaze, Charles asked, "What's up?"
Violet, dreamy-eyed, said, "Charles, you're amazing! You explain things better than our teachers. I can't understand them, but I get it when you explain."
Charles, used to praise, felt unexpectedly happy hearing it from Violet. He gently bumped his forehead against hers. "Violet, you're getting good at compliments."
As they continued, the atmosphere grew more intense. Violet suddenly touched his lips lightly. Charles, puzzled, looked at her. The room felt thin with tension. He didn't smile, just stared at her lips, his gaze blurring.
Violet swallowed nervously. "Charles," she said, her voice soft and seductive.
Charles, as if enchanted, moved closer, his mind blank, lips nearing hers.
At twenty, his hormones were raging, making him impulsive. His heart was filled with intense emotions, almost tearing him apart.
Though Violet was innocent, she was in her second year of junior high. Many around her had started dating. Her desk mate Emily had already had three boyfriends and often shared her experiences, describing how kissing felt.
Emily said kissing someone you liked made you happy and was very romantic. Influenced by Emily, Violet had often fantasized about kissing Charles, even dreaming about it.
As Charles leaned in, she instinctively wanted to close her eyes, as Emily had said it made kissing better. But she also wanted to watch Charles and couldn't bear to close her eyes.
As they got closer, they could feel each other's breaths. Their hearts pounded loudly in the quiet night. Nervously, they held their breath, noses touching.
