The Remorseful Brothers Novel
Chapter 96

Chapter 96

On Friday, Madeline’s shadow, Gavin, finally had something else to do.

Madeline didn’t ask much. She only knew that he had called someone with a gloomy expression the night before, and it was probably about the organization.

Early in the morning, Madeline went to the classroom.

She settled into her usual seat and opened her notebook, only to discover someone seated beside her.

She didn’t even raise her head. “Harper, aren’t y

it you usually the one to enter the classroom right on time? It’s quite unusual to see you here early today!”

The person didn’t reply.

Madeline looked up in surprise and saw Harper had just arrived.

She was a little annoyed. “Hey, the seat beside Maddie is my exclusive seat. Can you move to another seat?”

The boy was dressed in black casual attire, his head adorned with a cap that was pulled low, revealing only half of his unblemished chin.

He raised his slender hand and pushed down on the brim of his cap. “Apologies, could you switch seats?”

“I’m sitting here today.”

The boy’s voice was cold and melodious, extremely alienated.

Hearing this, Madeline was slightly stunned.

She immediately recognized that it was Yohannes.

“He… Why did he come here to sit with me in class?” she mused.

Harper was a little angry. “Forget it. You look like a handsome boy, so I’ll give it to you! You’re lucky that Maddie’s bodyguard is not here today, or you will be in a bad state.”

She snorted and seated herself indignantly on Madeline’s left, across the aisle.

She gazed at Madeline and advised, “Maddie, don’t get entangled with random guys from outside. You and Gavin are a couple by choice. I don’t want the couple I root for to have an unfortunate outcome.”

The boy reclined against the chair, retrieved a book from his fashionable bag, and placed it on the table.

Then, he took out a pen and a draft.

Madeline glanced at his pale rosy fingers and the pink–blue hair that framed his translucent cars.

She hesitated, “You… Are you going to attend the class?”

She didn’t flatter herself, thinking that the teenager came for her.

Yohannes modded slightly, took out another script from his bag, and laid it on the table neatly.

There were a few big words on it.

(The Campus Hunk and Me]

Obviously, he came here early to adapt to the campus environment and replace inspiration for the new drama

Looking at the title of the script, Madeline couldn’t help but clench her jaw. Yohannes was very strong in all aspects.

It was just that he didn’t seem to be very good at picking out a script.

“Are you shooting at Acocester University?”

“Yes”

Chapter 96

Madeline moved her fingers and asked curiously, “May I see your script?”

“No!”

Madeline felt a little regretful. “Ouch.”

She looked away and was no longer curious about Yohannes. It was just a coincidence.

This guy was too indifferent to her as if saying more than one word would kill him.

Harper was very dissatisfied with Yohannes‘ attitude. “This man intentionally chose the seat beside you. His motives are evident. He is brazenly cozying up to you while attempting to maintain a distant attitude. Perhaps it’s because he’s too ugly.

Madeline coughed wildly. “Harper, stop talking nonsense.”

Harper didn’t think she was wrong

She knew what the man was thinking about without delving too deeply.

She thought, “There are so many empty seats in the classroom, so why did he have to sit next to Madeline? Humph! He initiates contact and yet has the audacity to appear indifferent toward Maddie. Who knows, he might be obsequious when nobody’s watching?” Hearing her words, Yohannes subconsciously looked up at her.

At this moment, Harper saw Yohannes’s face clearly, She felt that he was very familiar for a moment, but she couldn’t figure out where she had seen him.

The man in front was so extraordinarily handsome that he seemed to have stepped right out of a comic book.

Harper was dumbfounded. She pondered whether she could take back her previous words. She acknowledged that she had indeed. spoken a bit louder just now.

“I was talking nonsense. Yes, I was talking nonsensel Maddie’s still single, and I’m just a fool who enjoys pairing up random people.” After saying that, Harper blushed and looked away.

She thought “It would be pretty good if Maddie is with this handsome guy. How could a girl as lovely and intelligent as Maddie limit herself to just one romantic interest? Having more options wouldn’t hurt!”

Yohannes paid no attention to Harper’s train of thought, or perhaps it was better to say he didn’t care about the opinions of a bystander. He tucked the script beneath the draft and proceeded to open the book.

Harper was right, Yohannes printed this script when he passed by the printer store just now.

There were words on the cover, but there was only a blank inside.

He snorted in a low voice, saying, “You should consider raising the caliber of your friends.”

Madeline frowned slightly. “I know you think we’re flattering ourselves. She was just making an othand remark. Don’t take it to heart. We’re all aware that it’s not the case. You don’t need to worry. I won’t entertain thoughts that shouldn’t be in

Yohannes turned to look at Madeline as he thought, “What does she mean it’s not the case?”

After a long silence, he hummed a response and ignored Madeline.

my mind.”

Madeline focused her gaze on the book, attempting to tune out her surroundings. However, Yohannes presence and the brush of his clothing against her kept diverting her attention, leaving her unusually unsettled.

“Sorry, I’d like to change my seat.

Madeline picked up the book and was ready to go to Harper’s side.

As she was packing her belongings, a hand suddenly reached out and grasped her.

She looked at Yohannes in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You will attract others attention if you move around. I don’t want anyone to replace out who I am.”

11:40 AM

Chapter 96

Yohannes pursed his lips tightly and said seriously, “This will cause unnecessary trouble to me. Furthermore, if I were to sit beside someone else, people might misinterpret my motives. However, I can avoid such misunderstandings by sitting with you.”

Madeline realized that she was just a bunker.

She raised her chin slightly. “I can cover for you. Show me your script.”

It was a force of habit from work.

Yohannes‘ back was slightly straightened, and he unconsciously held tightly onto the script. “There is no character you can choose here.”

Madeline felt a touch of oddness. “I don’t believe my current status grants me the privilege of selecting a character.”

Yohannes opened his mouth and rolled his Adam’s apple. Finally, he looked away awkwardly.

“Glad you know that.”

Although Madeline knew what she had done to Yohannes was bad, she still couldn’t help but feel a sense of grievance when confronted with Yohannes‘ assertiveness.

Yohannes didn’t hear Madeline’s response for a long time. He turned around and saw her red eyes. She was resting on the table like a small bear that had been through a rough ordeal.

A trace of regret rose in his heart.

“It’s okay if you want to choose, but it’s not good for you to choose the role of female lead too early.”
