I didn't want to continue this topic to avoid unnecessary conflicts. So, I shifted the subject and asked how Flynn was doing and if he would stop disturbing Queenie.Colin asked, "Why are you so resistant and dissatisfied with Flynn?""You can't blame me. He has gone too far. In the guise of love, he deceived and betrayed Queenie. He nearly ruined her."I angrily wrung my fingers and told Colin of Flynn's heinous deeds. He found it amusing that I got irritated readily."Flynn complied with his family's request and scheduled an engagement date with Daniela. I'm not sure if he'll go to Queenie again, but I know he only loves her. No matter who he marries, he'll never forget her."Colin's voice was low, and he appeared to feel sorry for Flynn. They were roommates and close friends. He never expected things to come to this point. That was why he felt pity for Flynn.I shrugged it off. Flynn could only prove his true love by giving Queenie a home. What was the point of appearing to be
Until I had grave problems and couldn't sleep, I unconsciously recalled what I had previously said. I then realized that I had also been carefree and happy. Thus, I treasured my memories of this time much more.Colin frowned and became even more silent after hearing my words. He seemed to be thinking a lot yet unable to express himself.When did he become unable to tell me what was on his mind? Was he frowning at Flynn or me? Or at Jasmine, who saved his life?I persuaded myself that he was simply sorry Flynn and Queenie couldn't be together in this life.That must be the case. Colin had always valued his friends very much."By the way, baby. I'll complete my tasks on Friday. I'll be back on Sunday."I was naturally pleased for his return. However, why was he coming back on Sunday? What would he do on Saturday?When I thought about it, I unconsciously asked aloud. Colin hesitated briefly, and his expression stiffened.He rubbed his forehead, looked at me, and responded bluntly,
I came back to my senses and answered Colin with a faint smile, "It's nothing. I just remembered that when we were at Lincoln University, Jasmine asked me to help her in delivering a letter to you."You retaliated by ignoring me for a week. I had no idea what I had done wrong and cried several times. But now, you couldn't see me for a long time because of her. Fate is quite unimaginable."I lowered my gaze and smiled."What are you thinking about? I'm only going with her to see the scenery. Nothing will happen. Don't worry too much." His tone was a little anxious as if he were afraid that I would misunderstand."I know that. By the way, how is Jasmine recovering? When will she come to Jinovy? Let's treat her to a meal. I learned to make a few dishes from Andrew. You can invite her to our place. I'll prepare a meal to thank her for saving my dear boyfriend. What do you think?"Colin pondered for a while and rubbed his brow again. His actions made him seem frustrated. He exerted too
Colin stared at me expectantly. He was awaiting my approval.Logically speaking, he was right. I had no choice but to accept it."Jasmine saved you, after all. When you return to Jinovy, we can take care of her together. Let's rent a place for her. If she requires treatment for a long time, she needs a place to stay," I said insincerely.What happened before was in the past. Regardless of why Colin kept it from me, I assumed he did it for my good. In this case, I should face the hardship with him."You're considerate. Actually, we don't have to be so bothersome. How about we let Jasmine live with us? You'll be here at any time to take care of her. It's more convenient in this way.""What?" I exclaimed in disbelief.Did he mean he wanted a woman who had pursued him back then to live with us?I had only seen this kind of drama involving three people living together in romance novels. I always cursed the male lead when such an incident occurred. I never imagined that one day it wou
Colin was so shameless that he flirted with me even though we were thousands of miles apart. He made my heart race so rapidly that I couldn't even speak properly.I blushed, pursed my lips, and casually kissed the screen. Before hanging up, I heard him chuckle.I set the phone aside unhappily. I felt heavy. Something was weighing me down and making me nervous.Jasmine's appearance brought me a lot of pressure.Perhaps Colin detected my unhappiness. Less than half a minute later, he texted me, "Baby, my forever love. Wait for me to return."Forever love. I stared at the words in a daze. What he said was lovely, but I still couldn't feel better.I admitted I was afraid of Jasmine.If Colin got close to another woman, I would give him the utmost trust. However, Jasmine was different. She was a thorn in my heart that I couldn't remove.With Felix's case as a reference, it was hard for me not to think of Jasmine in that way. My mind was in a mess.When Felix made trouble, I was inv
I didn't respond. I didn't want to hide my true emotions in front of my best friend.Queenie gently stroked my hair and asked, "Is there anything you can share with me? Don't keep it in your heart. You'll get sick with worry."She was right. I was an adult. I had to learn how to handle situations like these on my own. I couldn't ask my parents for advice on everything. It felt good to have a best friend to share my issues with.So, I told Queenie about Jasmine's injury and that she was going sightseeing with Colin on Saturday.When Queenie heard the whole story, she felt troubled and couldn't think of a good solution for a long time. The whole matter was so thorough and aboveboard. I was upset because I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Others would accuse me of being ungrateful if I stopped Colin from taking Jasmine out.That was why I felt disturbed. There was no way I could deny his deeds. It gave me a big headache."Tell me the truth, Lulu. Do you believe in Colin so stro
I gritted my teeth and declared my will as if I wanted to swallow someone."Okay, okay, I got it. Put your hand down. Do you think you're a gangster? Fighting? Given how much Colin cares for you, he'll be heartbroken if you're injured."Queenie pushed my hand down. She left the bed with a helpless smile and turned off the lights for me.I wasn't sure if she hadn't eaten well recently. She appeared so unwell that she was clumsy when getting out of bed.It seemed that I had to tell Andrew to prepare some delicious food for her tomorrow.I took out my phone and checked it again. Colin's message lay quietly in the dialog box.I thought about it and responded with a few words, "Come back early. I miss you so much that I can't sleep." I ended my sentence with some lovely sobbing, kissing, and hugging emojis.I genuinely trusted Colin but didn't want him to accompany Jasmine. I felt uneasy thinking of him pushing a wheelchair and walking around with another woman.Responsibility and j
I heard my phone chime.Unsurprisingly, it was from Colin. It was a selfie he took in the bathroom. His eyes looking into the camera were filled with a mixture of grievance and satisfaction, and there was a faint blush of shyness on his face.He was an adult carrying the shyness of a young teenager. This characteristic of a puppy-like innocence seemed incompatible with his overall demeanor.As I pondered why he would make such a coquettish expression early in the morning, another message came in: "Guess what I'm doing?""Um, taking a cold shower?" I suggested according to the usual plot in a romance novel and waited for his response.He replied and added an irritated emoji: "You're partly correct. I wasn't showering but washing my pajama pants." What was there to be shy about washing pajama pants? Colin was becoming more and more contentious."Guess why I had to wash my pajama pants?"This time, I guessed somewhat seriously. Yet, even after pondering for a full minute, I coul
