Colin liked lighter food. He didn't like greasy food at all. That small plate of pasta he was eating was just the excuse he used to put himself between Winston and me. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have touched it at all.That said, he only took two bites before he stopped eating. He already had dinner, so he was full. He just wanted to sit between Winston and me. In other words, he didn't want Winston and me to hang out alone.I was surprised that the reliable Colin would pull off something childish like this. But I could understand why he did that. Winston wasn't dumb either. As a man, he knew what Colin was doing to him. And he wasn't too pleased to be on the receiving end.After all, he did go out to buy me a sumptuous meal. But now, the mood was ruined because of Colin. I ate a lot of food until I felt bloated. Then, I returned to my easel stand to continue painting.When I was done, the moon and the stars had already come out to greet me. I looked at my phone and saw that it wa
Queenie saw that I was irritated, so she sat up and asked me what happened. Before I could begin my rant, the door to the apartment flung wide open once more. Colin walked in with an air of nonchalance. The jealousy and grumpiness from before were all gone.What? So he acted like a child before me, and when there were others around, he would act like a gentleman. How cunning! I was even more annoyed now.Andrew went to the kitchen to prepare our food. Colin said no need for the hassle since he had already eaten. Then, he sat next to me like nothing had happened. Didn't he just give me the cold shoulder on our way back? It made me look like I was angry for no reason at all.Oh, boy. Look at him. He really knew how to act like the victim. He should be an actor instead. I knew how to act mean too.So, I approached Andrew and asked if it was okay that he didn't go to the office. He said that he took leave. Plus, he was a contracted worker. Since the school would reopen soon and he had
Colin had been exercising all year round. So, his muscle lines were perfect, especially his abdominal muscles, which were nice to touch.I felt his scorching skin and shrank, subconsciously wanting to withdraw my hand. As a result, I was too weak to do so despite struggling.I finally understood why some people claimed that men in the early morning were untouchable."Baby, I miss you so much. I almost went crazy," Colin said hoarsely. His voice was so pleasant to hear that my heart raced."What are you doing? Let me go," I complained lowly, struggling to withdraw my hand.However, his strength was beyond me, not to mention what he intended to do with me. It was tough for me to take back my hand."Be good, baby. Help me. I've been waiting for you for so long. You should reward me with something. Kiss me, baby." Colin panted, his breath hot.My blood instantly heated. I forgot I initially wanted to deal with him. I felt drunk under his passionate kiss and gradually became engrosse
I soon opened my phone and noticed a message from Colin at 9:30 am.He informed me that he suddenly had urgent matters to deal with in the next city. He expected to be back before 9:00 pm. So, he asked me to dine alone. He also reminded me not to eat with Winston, revealing his jealousy.Okay then. It seemed like his career was more important. I would have lunch by myself.After walking out of the old campus, I called Queenie and intended to ask her if she wanted to join me.As a result, I failed to reach her. She seemed to be on a call with someone else. I had no choice but to put my phone aside and go to the cafeteria for lunch.When I was on my way to the cafeteria, I noticed many students carrying large luggage throughout the college. Many youngsters with bright smiles were walking back and forth excitedly.The semester would officially start on September 1st, and freshmen would register on August 27th. I smacked my forehead and chuckled. I was so concentrated on painting t
Lilac was as tearful as ever. She didn't seem to come here to admit her mistakes but rather to express her grievances to her beloved man.It was a pity that Felix had gone through a lot. He must have seen through everything. As he had no expectations for her for a long time, he was calm when he faced her.Unexpectedly, as a top student who was out of reach back then, he ruined himself by being blind in his relationship and falling for the wrong person.I had nothing to say to them. So, I apologized for disturbing them and returned to the original path, ignoring their gazes from behind me.I had been having a nice time lately, which made me forget there were still two annoying people in my world.I felt unlucky to have met them. I couldn't help but blame myself for strolling during my break. Nothing would have happened if I had found somewhere to rest.I lost interest in walking around and returned to Crystal House to continue painting.At around 3:00 pm, Colin told me he hadn't
When Felix saw me, he lifted an eyebrow and asked coolly, "Can we talk?"Was he here to cause me trouble?Well, that was normal. Felix met his ex-girlfriend who betrayed him, but I happened to see that scene. I witnessed all of his embarrassing and painful moments. He might feel uncomfortable and intend to blame me.I'd better take the initiative to admit my mistake. After all, it was my fault for ruining their secret meeting."I don't think we need to talk. I apologize for what happened at noon. That was a misunderstanding, and I didn't mean to run into you. If I had known you would be there, I would never have chosen that path. I promise I'll stay away from you in the future."I was a little angry. To be precise, I was condemning his deeds.After Felix apologized to me last time, I forgave him and decided to let go of the past. I treated him as my ordinary friend.Mom always taught me that everyone would make mistakes. As long as it wasn't an irreparable mistake, I could choos
I didn't believe Felix.However, humans were always strange. Even though I told myself I must trust Colin, I couldn't stop overthinking it.There was a saying that women always overthought. I believed it to be true. Once I sincerely loved a man, I would become sentimental and suspicious.However, Colin wouldn't speak with a forked tongue. I wouldn't believe misinformation from others, especially Felix. I couldn't trust him.Even if I were curious about Colin's whereabouts, I would ask him instead of guessing. I couldn't cause an irreversible misunderstanding.Suddenly, I heard someone call my name from behind. I turned around and saw Andrew. He patted my shoulder with his book. "What are you thinking about? I called you several times, but you didn't answer."I then realized I had unwittingly arrived at the college gate.We went to the supermarket to buy ingredients before heading home.Queenie was busy in the kitchen. The pumpkin soup smelled fragrant as it boiled. She had slic
When I answered the phone, I heard Colin's deep and steady voice, which made my ears hot."Hello, Colin," I greeted him sweetly."Hello, baby. Have you gone home?" His voice sounded like a subwoofer."Yes, I have. Have you eaten?""Not yet. I have some things to do later. I'll go out to dine after that."We talked for about five minutes. I could vaguely hear the sound of the number-calling machine on the other end of the phone. I was curious about where Colin was.I decided to ask him before the call ended. It was only a question, and Colin would give me the answer.However, I'd always thought that asking was a distrust of him and a blasphemy against our relationship.After much thought, I decided to trust him.Colin stated that Flynn's engagement ceremony was postponed because he was severely ill and almost died. Fortunately, he was rescued.He had no idea what illness Flynn had or how he got it. I didn't ask for the details as well.Flynn was no longer involved with us. Fu
