From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376

Austin stared at Calvin, his eyes openly cold and wary. He said, “Calvin, long time no see.” His lips curved faintly, and with those two dimples, it should have been a sweet, friendly smile-but for some reason, it just radiated an icy chill.

Austin had thought his plan for today was foolproof, not needing to worry about Sean making any last-minute changes. What he hadn’t counted on was Calvin showing up out of nowhere and throwing everything into chaos.

Calvin, on the other hand, didn’t seem the least bit surprised to see Austin. He calmly smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, caused by his earlier stumble, maintaining his meticulous composure all the while, before finally turning to face

Austin.

He slipped back into that cold, aristocratic demeanor as he said, “It has been a long time. Where have you been all this time? Do you have any idea how long I’ve been looking for you, my dear little brother?”

Those last words seemed to carry a strange, unreadable undertone.

Austin met his gaze head-on, that sweet, friendly smile never leaving his lips, but his eyes seemed to draw one in. He retorted, “Looking for me? How’d you do that, just by talking about it?

“It looks like you’ve put on some weight lately. Not having to see me must’ve put you in a good mood-and given you quite the appetite, huh?”

Austin knew Calvin all too well. Calvin might look all calm and dignified, but deep down, nobody cared more about appearances than he did.

Sure enough, Calvin’s cool, aloof demeanor cracked instantly, and his eyes flashed with anger as he glared at Austin. He snapped, “That mouth of yours is as infuriating as ever.”

Austin’s smile didn’t waver. He said, “You make it sound like you ever liked me.”

The two of them stood close to each other. One wore a bright, friendly smile, looking pure. The other carried a cold, noble aura, like the calm and capable older brother. But when their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly between them.
