Spin-off Chapter 13
Luca Lowell’s Ruined Love (7)
***
Isabelle was undeniably an affectionate person, but her bright smiles weren't for just anyone.
Yet, there she stood, wrapped in someone else's embrace.
Luca had braced himself for the worst possible scenarios before confessing, but this wasn't in his darkest imaginings.
Isabelle downplaying or disregarding his feelings was acceptable; perhaps she wasn't ready.
Pushing him away due to discomfort was also understandable - forcing emotions onto someone unwilling was worse than futile.
However, after those months spent together, Luca had no doubt about one thing.
It was a situation that left him with no doubt.
Isabelle was undoubtedly developing emotions similar to his own.
"Is our family cursed or something? First, Big bro Allen, and now me? We're definitely cursed," Luca playfully mumbled, although his expression didn't quite match the tone.
Chloe, observing Luca, shook her head slowly.
