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
I took Flynn to a quiet place and sat down. "I believe Queenie was sincere when she said those. She wanted to be with you in this life. You know better than anyone else how much she loved you."But, have you made plans for your future? In other words, have you ever considered what kind of life you want to offer her? For example, when are you going to meet her parents? When will you marry her? How many children are you planning to have?"He frowned and looked at me, dumbfounded and confused. He seemed to be asking if he didn't love enough and why he had to consider so much. He had given Queenie all his love."You haven't considered it, right? In other words, she has no place in your future. I believe you love her, and she sincerely loves you."But, to put it bluntly, you prefer glory, wealth, and superiority over her. You never thought about giving her a home. All you want is a harbor called 'Queenie' where you can rest when you're tired."However, she's human. She'll feel pain, di
After saying so much, I assumed I had made it clear, but Flynn didn't seem to take my words seriously.I couldn't help but become irritated. After hurting Queenie, he professed to love her sincerely. What on earth did he mean? What did he think of her?Did he think of himself to be the master of the world? Nothing in the world would alter according to his will. Why couldn't he focus more on Queenie?"You said you love Queenie deeply and can't live without her. I'd like to ask—can you give up everything for her? Give up your family background, money, Daniela, and your child in her belly for Queenie. Can you do it? If you can, I'll persuade her to stay with you forever."Flynn was stunned, and his expression darkened. His eyes darted from side to side, refusing to look at me.My heart continued to sink as if a ball of ice had blocked it. I felt cold and stuffy.He spoke of love so profoundly that I was almost shaken. Despite having a profound affection, he still chose power before
It was summer vacation. There was no one in the college, so it was quiet.The sun was up. It was so hot that I began to sweat. I had lived in the north for several years and was accustomed to the northern climate.Jinovy was colder than Southsville but not as pleasant as the north. When the sun rose, I was covered in sweat. I felt annoyed because my entire body was sticky.I was a Southerner. However, at moments like this, I missed the cool breeze from the north, which could blow from any direction at any time. That was refreshing.I hurried down the path with the paperwork, eager to return to the apartment and enjoy the air conditioner to dry my sticky sweat. Unexpectedly, I met Winston by the fountain."Hello, Luna. What a coincidence." He was polite and greeted me with a smile."Hello, Winston." I smiled back, wondering why he didn't go home for the summer vacation. However, I didn't know him well. I didn't want to get closer to him either. So, I had no reason to ask such a qu
