Chapter 705: World 13 Alternate Ending: Maximillien Eau Saumont (2)
Forbidden Love of the Archduke (2)
"Big brother, about the marriage proposal tomorrow. I’ve told Angel Raphael that I cannot marry him. Because I don’t want to live in a lie...."
"What?!" Maximillien was astonished. "You—You’re joking, right? You annulled the proposal with him? Why?!"
"Because I can’t live in a lie, Big brother. I don’t like him, and I can’t marry him. I’d rather stay true to my heart and leave everything behind," Jean’s beautiful eyes started pooling with tears as he continued, "Big brother, I will leave the duchy now, just like what you want. Please be well without me."
Maximillien gripped Jean’s hand tightly, "What do you mean by that? Jean Eau Saumont, tell me what really happens between you and Saint Raphael!"
"We broke up! I’ve never loved him in the first place, big brother! Do you really think that I will keep my childhood crush on him forever? I’m an adult now, and I have someone else I love."
"You love someone else?!" Maximillien’s eyes widened. He got up from the bench and stood in front of Jean. His whole aura looked intimidating as he glared at Jean, "Tell me about this boy you have feelings for."
Jean looked nervous, but in front of his big brother, he couldn’t lie much about it, "He is... cold, stoic, can be ruthless, but he is also caring, and he loved me wholeheartedly since we were young. I know my feeling is forbidden, but... I can’t suppress it inside my heart."
"Then who is this guy? Tell me!" Maximillien implored. He couldn’t help but get possessive when he heard Jean had someone else in his heart.
Jean wanted to say that he had realized he had been in love with his big brother for so long. But he was afraid that his Big brother would be disgusted with him because this was a forbidden love, they might not be blood-related, but they were still adopted brothers, right?
Jean shook his head weakly, "I cannot tell you, big brother."
