For Your Failed Unrequited Love Chapter 15

That night, Felix lay in bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. His head was jumbled up, and he didnt want to think of anything, yet her face kept popping up.

She has fluffy light brown hair and mysterious erald eyes.

He kept thinking of Lucy Keenan, hiding under the bushes, looking at him and smiling. The more he tried to shake it off, the deeper she dug into his head.

He wanted to give her all the clothes, shoes, and accessories in the store. But even if he had given her that much gift, he still wouldnt be satisfied.

Finally, Felix had no choice but to admit it.

The fact that he liked Lucy Keenan.

He wanted to see Lucy Keenan smile more. He hoped she wouldnt feel uncomfortable with him anymore, and he wanted to go on a date with her every weekend

His face, lost in thought, had a shadow as dark as an autumn night outside the window.

But Lucy Keenan doesnt like . The person Lucy Keenan likes is

How was your trip to the town?

Yeah, its this guy.

Felixs eyes were filled with bitterness as he looked at Adrian, which made him worried with the sudden shift in expression. Whats wrong? Earlier, you were talking as if sothing good had happened.

Felix turned his head, not answering the question.

Adrian continued, not letting up. Have you been to the pharmacy? I feel bad, I think I wasted Lucys ti.

Dont worry. Shell enjoy even the ti to make allergy dicine for you. Felix muttered.

However, Adrian ignored him. He didnt put any aning to Felixs words.

I heard that Ros was also there, Adrian asked, curious.

Felix frowned slightly when he heard the na he didnt want to think about.

You didnt use Lucy to go on a date with Ros, did you?

Felix jumped up at Adrians ensuing question. What nonsense! He shouted sincerely as if he was wrongly accused. What do you an used her?! Im the one who got in the way! With that, Felix lay back on his bed, annoyed.

Adrian tilted his head at Felixs outburst; he didnt understand. He looked at him with a strange expression for a mont and soon smiled and shook his head. Okay, just read this. Its a letter. He handed it to Felix. The crest of the Berg family is stamped on an envelope that exudes a subtle fragrance.

As Felix opened the letter while lying down, the Duchess of Bergs neat handwriting ford neat rows and filled the paper.

To Adrian and Felix.

The letter contained the mothers minor concerns; whether they were adjusting well to the new school year, if they caught a cold in the increasingly chilly weather, if the allergy symptoms were ok, or if the last year at the academy was too busy.

Felix put it back on Adrians bed after he was done reading. He would always hand their mothers letters back to his twin. The letters were never intended for him.

The Duchess of Berg had never written a letter to her twin sons separately. She always wrote letters that began with To Adrian and Felix.

It wasnt because they were twins or because she loved them equally. The Duchess of Bergs letter was written entirely for Adrian. Felixs na was inevitably added because they were twins.

It had been a long ti since he had stopped thinking about why Adrians na was always written first in her letters, even though he was the older twin.

Now Felix knew the reason well. Their mother loved Adrian more than him. Every ti he thought of it, sothing sharp pierced his heart.

You cant even tell us apart. But how can you have a son you like more?

There was clearly a problem with the favoritism of the Duchess of Berg, who loved one over the other without being able to tell them apart.

It would be fine if he didnt know, but the duchess often confused the two sons and hurt Felix deeply.

Adrian, co on. Eat up before Felix cos.

Adrian, dont tell Felix you received this. Its a secret.

Adrian, you should be the only one who knows what I just told you. You cant tell Felix.

Felix was confused and saddened to watch his mother happy at keeping a deep secret with his younger brother Adrian, leaving him out, but he couldnt voice his feelings.

He felt out of place. He felt like he was in a position where he shouldnt intervene. Instead, he seed to have beco a hindrance between his mother and Adrian.

The Duchess also chose Adrian without hesitation whenever she was at a crossroads. Felix witnessed it right before his eyes eight years ago.

It was around the ti when there was a deep discord between the duke and the duchess. They raised their voices and had a screaming match. Then, the duchess ran into her room and sobbed for a while.

After that, the duke left the mansion, rubbing his angry face. Soon, the duchess left her room again, luggage in hand.

Felix, the only one who saw his mother, got up from his chair. Mama, where are you going?

The duchess rolled her anxious and blank eyes around and turned to the sound. Her lips kept muttering as if they were chanting a spell. She soon walked over to Felix and snatched her sons wrist.

Adrian! Co here!

Where are you going?

Hurry up and follow !

While being dragged by his mother, Felix, a ten-year-old kid, had an epiphany. He kept quiet whenever her mother often mistook him for Adrian, but now he thought he shouldnt. Not only his mother but he would also be seriously hurt when the truth ca out.

Mama, Im not Adrian

However, Felix, who was trying to reveal the truth, shut up when he saw the duchess expression. The duchess, rolling her bulging eyeballs back and forth, seed insane at first glance.

She was so preoccupied with running away from the mansion in a hurry that she didnt even notice her little son was trying to say sothing. It was as if all she could think of was how she needed to hurry and run away, taking her beloved Adrian with her into the carriage.

The carriage never stopped and rushed down the road once their journey began. It was not until the hills, and lakes passed through the window and darkness fell slightly over the world that Felix gathered his courage.

Mama, Im not Adrian.

The duchess had been staring out of the window all the ti. She slowly turned her head and looked at Felix.

Felix thought he would jump out of the carriage to avoid the situation, but he couldnt, so he just closed his eyes tightly.

Im Felix.

Felix then slowly opened his eyes again and thought.

Wouldnt it be great if, when I opened my eyes again, my mom told that I was lucky to be with her instead of Adrian?

His mothers face ca into focus as his eyelids opened gently. At the sa ti, a very sharp wound was deeply engraved in his chest.

The duchess sitting in front of him looked more dismayed than ever. Felix had never seen her mother so distraught. His heart seed to sink to his feet at the fact that he was the cause of that despair.

I should have told you before the carriage departed. I should have said I was not Adrian, and her beloved Adrian was left in the mansion.

Felix regretted it. But he was too late. The carriage had already entered the Everne family estate, the duchesss forr residence.

Marquis Everne, the duchess father, severely scolded his daughter for returning ho as if she were fleeing to her holand.

You ran away to your parents house because you fought with your husband?! Are you out of your mind?! What kind of disgrace is this?!

The duchess, who would normally have bowed at his fathers scolding, was stubborn this ti. She returned to her room, declared she would not return to the duchy, and locked the door behind her.

She didnt co out of her room for a whole month.

Strolling through the lakefront of the garden of Everne, feeling the grass on his feet, Felix felt guilty and waited for his mother to leave the room.

If it were Adrian, not , who ca here, would Mama be less sad? If so, she might not have stayed in the room. Maybe Mama would take a walk in this garden with Adrian and share her childhood mories to soothe her gloomy mood.

And a month later, the duke appeared on the Everne family estate to take back his wife and son.

Felix saw his father enter his mothers room. He didnt know what the two of them were talking about. All he knew was after a short conversation with his father; his mother ca out after a month. She called Felix and got back into the carriage.

Thus, the duchess month-long runaway ca to an end.

When Felix returned to the dukes house, he tried to forget about it. Rembering it would just cause him more pain.

But still, Felix had a question that popped into his head from ti to ti.

Why is it, Adrian? We have the sa face, height, and voice. How did my mother co to love my younger brother more than ?

And these days, that question sparked another one, making Felix suffer even more.

How did Lucy Keenan co to like Adrian, not ?
