One side was despair and pain; the other was hope and salvation.What should she choose? Wasn't that obvious?When Flynn saw Andrew and Queenie getting along intimately, he grew enraged and rushed over with a loud shout.She exclaimed and subconsciously pushed Andrew away, facing Flynn and closing her eyes.She'd seen Flynn hit someone.That year at the bar, we were all drunk. When he came, he almost beat the other party to death. His ferocious appearance had frightened us.Queenie naturally didn't want the innocent Andrew to be harmed. She realized she couldn't do anything, so she stepped forward and pushed him away.Flynn never expected her to push Andrew away, so he used too much force.When his target became Queenie, he didn't manage to hold back. Seeing that his fist was about to hit her face, Queenie paled and closed her eyes, preparing for the coming injury and severe pain.Andrew, who had been pushed away, responded instantly and hurried back frantically. When he saw t
Queenie's body swayed. She subconsciously stopped, and her tears spilled again.Andrew stood behind her. This time, he didn't do anything. He just waited quietly for her to make a decision.Within a few seconds, she made her steps and entered the stairway. He breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.Fortunately, Queenie persisted in her decision. Her future would be easier since she had taken the first step in staying away from Flynn. She might be in pain, but as long as she kept moving forward, she would eventually emerge from her suffering.From today on, Queenie and Flynn's relationship was over.When I entered home, I was so tired that I slumped on the couch to distract myself from the chaotic thoughts in my mind.Andrew welcomed Winston to sit—as if he were the host—and opened the fridge to get Winston a bottle of water.Queenie went straight into the bathroom. When she came out, she had stopped crying, but her eyes were still a little swollen."Lulu, how about we eat seafood
"I got it. Don't worry about my safety. Andrew is here, too. He'll protect us. By the way, Colin, are you still in the hospital?"It was only fair for me to ask about him after he'd asked about me. Otherwise, I would have come off as rude.Colin didn't hide it from me. "Yes, her surgery was quite successful. It's difficult to predict how her recovery will go. The director stated that even if she could recover, the rehabilitation process would be painful. Even now, she's in great discomfort."He continued, "Jasmine is in a bad mood. She's in an unfamiliar city and has no one to rely on. She's my alumni. Besides, she was injured because of me. I have to take care of her.""Jasmine? The person you hugged that day was Jasmine?"A long-forgotten smiling face appeared in my mind when I heard this name. I felt my heart sink, and the horrible premonition returned.Colin was so concerned about his savior. Was it merely because she saved his life, or was it because that person was Jasmine?
Colin hung up the phone unsatisfied. I flung the phone onto the couch, but then I noticed Winston sitting upright, snickering with his lips pursed. I felt my face slightly heated.It was over. I took advantage of him to make Colin jealous, and he heard the whole conversation. I seemed to be very scheming. That wasn't good.The meals were served quickly. Winston and I each had a plate of pasta.I picked up the pasta and took some bites. Then, a big shrimp emerged from the plate. I scooped it up and prepared to bite it with the skin, but Winston grabbed it."What are you doing? You have shrimps, too. Why are you taking mine?"I was already so upset that I wanted to cry when he grabbed my shrimp and disturbed my meal.Was I easily bullied? My tears instantly flowed, smearing my eyes with dampness."Why are you crying? It's just shrimp. Don't worry. I'm not snatching it. I just want to peel it for you."Winston flexibly twisted off the shrimp heads and started peeling its skin. As
What Flynn lacked was a determination like Andrew's.In all the years we had been at Lincoln University, Flynn had never said anything like this in public.For any woman, nothing was more essential than being affirmed and acknowledged in front of others."Why should I trust you? Because of your eloquence?" I asked.He replied, "With my strong love for her, I'll never leave her forever. Is that enough? Luna, no matter how much I promise, it would be better to do something that will make her happy."Promises are useless except for bluffing. At least I haven't seen anyone punished for breaching their words. As long as Queenie is willing to give me a chance, I'll make her happy forever."Andrew said that with sincerity. His eyes were clear with happiness.Sincerity was quite rare in a wealthy family. It showed that he had a good intention.He patted the pillow again and lay down excitedly. Then, he took a selfie and sent a WhatsApp story with the sentence—On a Journey to Pursue Lov
Colin was talking nonsense. Why should I waste my energy peeling the shrimp when someone had already done so?When I was a kid, I had my finger pricked by a shrimp. I didn't want to get pricked again. If no one peeled it for me, I'd eat it whole, spitting away the skin."Then don't eat shrimp."He was quite domineering. Who was he trying to scare? I wouldn't listen to him."That won't work. I like shrimp." I wrinkled my nose and pouted cheekily. I looked away, refusing to look at him properly."Who is that?""Winston.""Didn't I say—" Colin rubbed his forehead helplessly as if I had caused him a headache. "Tell me, what are you making a fuss about?"I showed him an unhappy expression. "Repaying the savior with life."Colin was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean?""Stop pretending. Didn't she save your life? She even wrote you letters while we were at Lincoln University. You two reunited and spent many days in the same place. You even held her so tightly when you got out.
I learned this trick from Julia. I might appear unsatisfied or challenged Colin, yet it was coquettish.As a result, I could attract him. Although he would get bothered, he would feel amused and focused on me. Julia stated few boyfriends could escape this trick.In addition, I dared to do this because I knew he couldn't kiss me right now.If he were here, he wouldn't ask my opinion when he wanted to kiss me. The outcome would be the same whether I agreed or not.The other thing was that I didn't dare to provoke him. I was afraid he would become impetuous and take the final step in bed with me. After all, I'd seen the excited spark in his eyes many times. It was scary.I wanted to save the most beautiful moment for the most memorable day. I didn't want to be too intimate with him in advance. Thus, I only teased him. He still had to wait for the most important moment to do anything he wanted with me.Colin grinned meaningfully. His dark eyes were as deep as the night sky, and his s
Flynn was dressed in black, casual attire. He stood straight and upright, but his eyes were dim and lonely.It had only been one night. Flynn, who had always been cold and sharp, appeared to have experienced countless hardships and was depressed.I held Queenie's hand worriedly. She smiled gently at me and said softly, "I'm fine. You can go ahead.""Don't worry, Luna. I'm with Queenie. Even if my life is at risk, I'll keep Queenie safe."Andrew glanced at Flynn coldly before hugging Queenie's shoulders as if he were a knight guarding a princess.Usually, she would shake his hand off. However, in front of Flynn, she silently accepted it.She later told me she felt quite despicable to accept Andrew's kindness, but I didn't think so.He was willing to help her, and she was willing to accept it. They were a perfect match. She was far from despicable.When Flynn saw this scene, he instantly felt deep pain and embarrassment. His body shook violently.Even though I was far away, I co
