A Mistake… A Baby!

That is one aspect of him that she despises the most. He is the only other person who has ever referred to her by her full name. Alessandra. Nobody ever refers to her in such a manner. Even her best friend Cathryn or her father is not calling her like that.

Her eyebrows met. “What? Cade, you have such a thick face. Even in your worst nightmare, nothing like that could ever take place!” She uttered the phrase with clenched teeth. She couldn’t believe how fast her heart was beating when Cade saw her for the first time. It made her feel sick to her stomach. She does not want to experience this sensation any longer!

He put his arms around her shoulders and looked out the window at the people who lived nearby. “Guys, did you hear what Alessandra said? She is having dreams about me!”

The neighbors were loitering around, cheering for them. “Your romantic pairing is going to be exciting for us to watch! I have a feeling that one of your babies in the future will be named Cassandra,”

“Why did you pick Cassandra?” The other neighbor was the one who asked.

“Stupid! It’s a combination of Cade and Alessandra’s names!”

“Wow! I would have never imagined that! Yeah. Perhaps one of your babies in the future will be named Cassandra!”

Because of this, she views him as an adversary, which is the reason why she feels this way. Since that event, they haven’t met each other again without him making fun of her in some way. He is the very definition of evil. That was the reason why she felt such a sense of relief when Cade was not here today. Cathryn is now someone she can confidently work on her project with.

“You’re right, it’s probably for the best that your bothersome brother isn’t here.” She said while making a face. After entering the house, she wasted no time in finding a comfortable spot on the plush sofa. Cathryn comes from a wealthy family. Both of her parents are successful businessmen.

“Hmm, I just want to ask you, Sandy. Why do you despise my older brother Cade to such an extreme degree? You’re the only girl I can think of who finds him to be annoying, you know?” Cathryn asked.

Alessandra stood up and made additional gestures to explain why. “What? You want to know why I find him so annoying, don’t you? Simply because he is an exceptionally pleasant human being.” She said in a sarcastic tone to Cathryn, “He’s so nice, Cathryn.”

Cathryn indicated her assent by nodding her head. “You are right. My older brother Cade is a good human being. Then why are you mad at him?”

“He is not very kind to me. On the other hand, he is not like that to other women.” She added that she was shivering. Cathryn laughed softly.

“Don’t pay any attention to him, Sandy. He is simply trying to get your attention.”

She cast an inquisitive glance at her friend. “Cade wants my attention? Perhaps you’re making a complete fool of yourself! It’s ruining my day if we keep talking about your older brother, so let’s not do that.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

It gave her a jolt. “You have a low tolerance for frustration. That’s why he gets such a kick out of making fun of you,” She was about to hit her on the arm when the other person ducked out of the way and gave up. “Okay, okay. I’ll stop. Let’s do our school project,”

“I think it’s time we get started on this project,” she burst out laughing.

Alessandra perceived a tap on the shoulder from an unknown person. As a result of her shock, she reached out to shake his hand and nearly fell onto the bed. “Goodness, sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you,” Caleb screams out in surprise as he looks at her.

As soon as she could make out a clear image of the man in front of her, she quickly forced her saliva back down her throat. Both Cathryn and Caleb have a relative named Caleb who is their half-brother. Cathryn revealed to her that their father had an affair in the past and that their brother Caleb is the product of that affair.

She chewed on the bottom of her lips. “C-Caleb. I am truly sorry. I was completely unaware that I had dozed off.” She admitted that she was uncomfortable with the way she looked and tucked some of her hair behind her ears. Gosh! How long did she sleep after she went to bed?

Because of the gentle way in which he laughed, she couldn’t help but look at him. Caleb has a very dashing appearance. He has light skin, blonde hair, and towering stature. He is already an attractive young man despite only being twelve years old. To the best of her knowledge, he is a scholar at the same university that she and Cathryn go to. His actions are nothing like those of his older brother Cade.

Because of this, she already had a crush on Caleb the day he defended her against the bullies at their university. Why shouldn’t she? He ended up being her savior. Her stalwart defender in gleaming armor. He is not pretentious. He is kind and has a passion for studying. They were identical in certain aspects to both of them. Because of this, she has a sneaking suspicion that he will develop a crush on her at some point in the future. She has high hopes that their feelings will soon be reciprocated by each other.

And she did not attempt to conceal that feeling from Cathryn. “It’s okay, it appears that both you and Cathryn have grown weary of the project that you worked on,” he said.

She nodded shyly. “The deadline is in a week, so we really ought to finish,”

Caleb ruffled her hair and nodded. “I apologize if I woke you up; mother has already arrived. You are expected to eat dinner tonight,” he said. Although he is a son of the affair, Cathryn’s mother accepted him fully.

She couldn’t help but be excited about the fact that he was the one to wake her up. Oh my goodness, could he be any more thoughtful?

“Let’s go and eat together for dinner,”

“Okay, Caleb, you go first. I’ll be in the dining room in a little while,”

He gave her a warm smile before turning his back on her and saying, “Okay, before the food gets cold.”
