Being reincarnated as the 2nd male lead's daughter

ruin

All until now was observation,until second uncle being himself pointed it out .
When father went out .
"Justin is something wrong"
"No ,nothing "
"Do you think , we all are blind "
"I don't know what you are talking about "
"We are talking about your silent treatment brother." Mom said.
He went mute .

"Explain yourself, child " grandfather demanded.
"No ,it's okay . Do you need time Justin. Talk it out with karl okay . Figure things out ."
"Yes mom "

The conversation ended then and there as father walked in .

And as we reached the end , Everyone departed to their room after wishing good night.
And the first uncle stayed back .
But I was guided out by mom because it was past my bedtime.
The last thing I heard was .
"Let's talk" from father .

Karl's pov

I decided to talk . Knowing Justin's personality, he probably wouldn't clear the the air .

"So what happened"
"Nothing"
I sighed. He hasn't changed a bit . Covering his visible lies which anyone can see through.
"So you know ,I am angry at you "
"Hmm I know"
"Then pardon what am I going to do next"
Before I could process a tight first landed on my face . The impact was really strong by lips started bleeding.
"How could you karl Striphen. The only person,you got is my sister . For real, You do know yourself right or do you want me to tell you . "
I was just standing with a blank face .
I knew very well what he meant.
Every word was piercing through me .
I knew it was going to come to me . I knew it but a part of me was greedy, I wanted a family too .

"I don't wanna say no more , my anger will take forms of words that I'll regert. So I'll stop now ."

He went away ,while I stayed looking outside .
I scoffed at myself.
And went away from the beautiful scenery to my room .
As I clicked open the room , the scene infront of me , surprised me .
There was Selene sitting beside the window reading a book after the noise she looked at me .
Her expression changed from joyful to worry to anger .
She swiftly came and inspected my face .
"Who did it ? Oh what a useless question . Ofc he did it . But why . Did you guys fight.
Oh lord it must be a strong punch , your left side is swollen even your lips are bleeding. Stay here , I'll be back "

"Don't look for your brother "
She nodded.

I wondered was she going to her brother .
But I was wrong , she came back within a minute.
A small container in her hand .
She asked me to sit and I sat . Why ,don't know.
She applied the cream and talked.
"It's a really effective cream but should I let it be if I do and mom and dad can see it tomorrow, it will be the end for my brother "
"If you want "
She went to a distance,observed me for a minute then said .
"Na ,a bruise on such a elegant face is a disgrace . It shall not substain "
I smiled. And felt the sudden urge to stroke her hair . So I did.
She was surprised but smiled back .
"You are atleast smiling now " she commented.

"Hmm ,so why are you here "

"Oh I was here regarding my brother , in case if you overthink about your dear friend, he'll be fine after a few days . But seeing the bruise it might take some more time now . He seems really angry . Did he tell you the reason why "

I knew it , but could I tell her . I was greedy and selfish, I knew it . It was burdening me down .
But if I do will I ever see that smile of her .
Will she ever talk to me like now if she were to know.

"You look tired ,you should sleep " with that she got up .

Even if she hates me , I must tell her .
If she wants she can change her decisions , break off the engagement and be free from me . I can't ruin her life . Never .

So what is karl talking about? all i can say is that . It's a taboo in rodal and people are not at all acceptive of it .
