Chapter 215: Do you know why I used to wear gloves?

Chapter 215: Do you know why I used to wear gloves?

Damian, sitting by his study table, flicked his pen in his hand over and over, lost in thought as he tried to process his recent discovery.

His mind flashed back to the soft and light expression on his brother’s face as Alice held his hands.

Why didn’t he think of it before?

His brother was always talking about Alice and not just singing praises about how powerful she was, but also talking about how kind and compassionate she was.

He smiled, laughed, and then stared at the distance with a soft gaze, muttering her name.

These were signs that he was struck with feelings but he never thought that far.

But he never really thought that far.

He just smiled and was thankful his brother was happy.

He used to think Alice might’ve been someone around his age but when he saw her on TV, he felt she was young for someone his brother sang praises and talked endlessly about.

Maybe she just looked young but was actually his brother’s agemate, he thought.

But soon after that, Devon told him Alice would be going to school with him and they would be classmates.

He was shocked but more excited to finally meet the amazing girl his brother wouldn’t stop talking about.

And his first impression of her was marvelous.

Though he did not recognize her to be that same girl, since her appearance had been hindered, he got to know she was the exact same girl.

Alice was the kind of person anyone would want to get close to at a glance and he could feel the energy around her.

She was overflowing with power, but even at that, she did not throw her weight around or boast about her power.

She was quiet and did not care for anything that did not concern her.

She was just perfect in that regard, and he thought maybe she was just mature for her age because her mates would definitely make the most out of their class and take their place on top.

She was everyone’s dream girl, and for a moment, she was his dream girl, but the crazy reality that his brother might be in love with her shook him to the core.

He did not expect it at all.

Alice was 17 years old, and his brother was 23, so how did he catch feelings despite a six-year difference?

Did he not consider it might’ve been against the law?

He could not understand it.

Why would his brother fall in love with such a young girl?

Maybe he could not help it.

Staying close to a girl like Alice, his feelings must’ve been invoked before he even knew it.

“Damian,” Devon called as he knocked on the door once before opening it.

“I’ve prepared dinner.” “Alright.” Damian answered but did not move; instead, he kept his eyes on his brother, who was waiting for him to stand and follow him downstairs.

“What is it?” Devon asked.

“Is there something on my face?” “No, there’s nothing aside from perfection.” Damian said and laughed, causing Devon to gush at his brother’s compliment.

“There you go again.

You don’t have to sing me praises any chance you get.” He said, though he wouldn’t mind if his brother kept showering him with praises.

They made him feel good.

“Anyway, come down with me.

I know if I turn my back, you’ll get engrossed in your book again.” “I know.

I know.” He put down his pen and stood up.

“But Brother, I was wondering, when did you start going out without your gloves?” His question made Devon pause and he looked at his hand.

That’s right.

He only ever left his hands bare when he was at home but lately, he had been going around without his gloves.

“Do you know why I used to wear gloves?” Devon asked but Damian went silent.

He never really thought much about it.

Maybe it was because the gloves made his brother look cool.

But now that he was thinking about it, maybe he should’ve asked.

Was he insensitive all along?

“No,” Damian answered.

“But…

I didn’t see a reason to know why, so I never asked.” “Well,” Devon brushed the back of his neck.

“There was no reason in particular.” ‘Lies.’ Damian’s thought suddenly rang.

Ah, he didn’t know when he noticed it but he could tell when his brother was lying.

He had a habit of masking the truth a lot to keep Damian in the dark and keep him safe, but Damian grew resistant to that.

So, whenever Devon spoke a single insincere word, he would catch on right away.

‘So, there really was a reason.’ Damian thought and looked at his brother’s hand.

‘But I never noticed anything.

His hands are fine.

In fact, they’re beautiful.

So what was the reason?’ He suddenly got a finger flick on his forehead and heard Devon chuckle.

“You’re thinking too much into it, aren’t you?” He stared at Devon’s smile.

His brother was so handsome.

He looked like the perfect guy.

And then he wondered, if he ended up confessing his feelings to Alice, would she have a reason to reject him, aside from their age difference?

It suddenly made him feel down.

She may just wrap her arms around him, smile, and give him a big yes.

(Ah, you still have a lot to learn, my boy) “I wore the gloves to hide something, that’s true.” Devon suddenly said.

“But someone told me that I didn’t need to hide if my intentions were good.” “What were…

You hiding?” Damian asked but Devon simply smiled and turned to leave.

“Come on, the food is getting cold.” He started walking out.

“I’ll have to reheat it.

Do you want a glass of cold juice?

I’ll get that for you as well.

And also, did you have fun in school?

You didn’t get picked on, did you?” Devon kept talking while heading out and towards the living room, assuming, no, he knew well that his brother was following closely from behind.

And then he stopped, not waiting for a response to any of his previous questions, and turned to Damian, “Was it fun?” Damian stared at his brother’s face and the stance he took.

He was trying to act cool again, wasn’t he?

Damian smiled.

“Yeah, it was.” He answered.

“It was very fun.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, so Damian caught on that his brother likes Alice.

so, will be give up his growing feelings?
