Flynn burst into tears. The six-foot-tall man curled up in pain.He lowered his head slightly, letting his tears flow uncontrollably.Queenie fixed her gaze on a nearby patch of wilted grass. I stayed with her and watched Flynn cry. His eyes had reddened from crying."Queenie, can I hug you for the last time?"He stretched out his hands, his eyes full of expectation. His tears blocked his vision, but he stubbornly refused to wipe them away.Perhaps with tears in his eyes, he wouldn't see Queenie's rejection and dared to stretch out his hands."No, Flynn, please go back. Your wife and baby must be waiting for you. I wish you happiness. I'll never see you again."Flynn left.His thin and straight back was hunched over, like a wounded person in severe pain. He staggered, appearing as lonesome as the last falling leaf in autumn, with nowhere to go.He disappeared at the end of the street.I approached Queenie and gently held her hand, hoping to give her warmth.Her hands were ac
Honestly, Queenie struggled to support herself by working every day.It would be good if she accepted Flynn's money to improve her current living situation. It could ensure that she wouldn't suffer too much in the future.He gave her money without asking for anything in return. If she didn't take it, it meant she had wasted her youth.However, Queenie had her pride. If she accepted the money, it would be like selling her five years to Flynn.That was a sacrilege against the years she had spent with him. She had the right to decide whether to accept it.Colin called me about half an hour later.We had just exchanged good night messages on WhatsApp.Now that he'd called me, I assumed it had something to do with Flynn."Can we talk about that money?" I asked Queenie.She glanced at my phone's caller ID and smiled lightly. "Go ahead."The strange thing was that after I connected the video call, Colin didn't take the initiative to bring up that matter. He only told me a few trivia
"That man seems to be Colin." Queenie pointed to the right side of the photo.That was a half-profile. If she hadn't mentioned it to me, I wouldn't have realized.I looked carefully and saw the tear mole at the corner of his eyes and the deep eyebrows. That was indeed Colin.I suddenly remembered the corridor of the rehabilitation hospital where Jasmine was staying. Wasn't that the same path Colin took just now?In other words, he once again visited her alone at midnight and brought her a bowl of ravioli.I was only away for two days, and he went to see her. Did he intend to cheat? I called him without hesitation.After the buzzer rang a dozen times, Colin answered, "Do you miss me so much?"I pouted. That wasn't the case. I was thinking that he shouldn't cheat on me."Colin, what does Jasmine's WhatsApp story mean?"He frowned with confusion. "What WhatsApp story? I didn't see it. Is it related to me?"He was quite self-aware. If it had nothing to do with him, I wouldn't hav
Colin looked unpleasant and muttered in dissatisfaction, "You're so heartless. Didn't I always bring you snacks? Don't you know whether I'm busy? We agreed to bring everything to the surface. Why did you talk to me in such a snarky tone? Who did you learn it from?"Before I could respond, he ended the video call.It was the first time he proactively cut off my call.I stared at the phone screen speechlessly until the screen automatically went black. I gritted my teeth in frustration.That was a big misunderstanding. He took the initiative to cut off my phone call, indicating that he was indeed angry.When did Colin learn to get angry with me? Who did he learn that from?As expected, the brother and probation period boyfriend were in two completely different positions with different rights.Being angry with me was one of his rights as a boyfriend.When I treated him like a brother, he never hung up on me, let alone spoke harshly to me.I couldn't help but think about whether a
"Forget it. You seem exhausted. We rarely get together. Don't waste time waiting for meals. Let's order takeout. We can talk while eating."Julia looked at her husband shyly and agreed with us.As a result, the three girls who used to live in the same room started having fun.Henry was always on guard against us going too far and hurting his wife. His cautiousness and affection for Julia dazzled us.Despite our best efforts, the three of us cried as we parted ways.After graduation, we parted ways. It was difficult for us to spend every day together like when we were studying. Thus, our regular gatherings were precious. We were reluctant to bid farewell.Colin drove to pick us up from the airport. Andrew also came with him.I took the passenger seat and left the back seat for the potential couple, who hadn't seen each other for two days.Colin might still be angry. After putting my suitcase in the trunk, he stopped talking or looking at me and focused on driving.I wasn't sure
Colin appeared slightly relaxed but annoyed. He adjusted his tie and glanced at Winston in disgust.Then, he looked at me coolly. He seemed to be conveying that Winston was here to see me, so I should ask Winston what brought him here.I rubbed my nose awkwardly. Alright, I would ask Winston."Wins..."Unexpectedly, Winston ignored me and handed a package to Colin. "Mr. White, this is a specialty brought by Mr. Walker's relatives from his hometown. He requested me to send it over and let you have a try."I assumed Mr. Walker was the one who asked Colin for help sending something to the rehabilitation hospital last night.It turned out Winston wasn't looking for me. Didn't that mean I was being nervous for nothing?Colin also hadn't expected Winston to be waiting for him. As the plot abruptly shifted, he was unsure how to react, and his expression changed several times.He felt embarrassed, but he still pretended to be serious. I never realized he was such a fantastic actor.I
Colin was pissed off but amused. He started tickling me. "You naughty girl! I'd like to give myself to her, but I'm afraid you'll cry and break up with me.""Tsk. Who would cry? You are overthinking it."We were having fun when Professor King called us, ruining the lovely atmosphere.I wondered if he was an expert on love distractions.I calmed myself down after laughing so hard from being tickled and picked up the call.Professor King's excited voice came over. "Luna, Dreamlight's sample room design has come out. The publicity effect is perfect. The pre-sale is particularly popular."Several prospective homebuyers have expressed interest in the stunning murals. That's only a sample image. When the house is officially completed, the overall effect will probably be better.""Really? Then my work these days has not been in vain." That was indeed good news."That's right. You have to hold on and not give up on the rest. Dreamlight's advertising team is particularly good. As a proj
Colin's phone rang beside the bed before I had finished wiping his hair thoroughly.Sometimes, I hated the ubiquitous high-tech products like cell phones, which ruined the atmosphere at critical moments.Of course, even if I hated it, it provided numerous benefits. I couldn't live without it.His phone was by the bed, about three feet away from where Colin and I were. As I had good eyesight, I could easily see the number on the phone screen with a glance. The number was unfamiliar, and I had no idea who the caller was.I didn't know many of Colin's colleagues' phone numbers, mainly because I hadn't had much contact with them. I didn't like their lively events and had never attended their gatherings.When someone contacted him at this hour, I automatically thought it was his colleague or the lecturer Colin had helped.I took the phone, picked it up, and placed it near his ear. His big hand held mine, moistening my hand.Before Colin said a few words, I could feel his muscles stif
