Before I could say anything, he addressed himself as my soulmate. He was so shameless.I shove his face away. "I haven't asked you yet. When did you get a soulmate? Who did you marry behind my back?"Colin deftly avoided my hand and stuck to my face again. "You're my wife. I'm your husband. We're soulmates, of course. If you're in a rush, we can get married as soon as the courthouse opens. How about I go back and give you all my wealth first?""Hmph, who's in a rush? You're the only one who's in a rush.""Yes, I am, but I can't marry alone. Baby, when are you going to give me a pass? Do you realize how heartless it is to only hug you without doing anything further?"Colin pretended to be aggrieved again. He stuffed me into the passenger seat, fastened my seat belt, and started the car.When this topic came up, I felt overwhelmed. I was so useless.I was usually good at refuting. However, when it came to speaking about our relationship, I would lose my eloquence. I simply pretend
Colin's words were unexpectedly cold. His previously hidden annoyance had risen to the surface and was visible.Jasmine's schemes and provocations had constantly irritated this gentle and elegant man."Luna is my bottom line. Anyone who hurts her will have to pay a price... Yes, including you. We won't be together. Don't waste your time on me. Do your best to rehabilitate. I'll try my best to repay you for your life-saving kindness, but I won't give you my love. It'll disgust me."After saying that, Colin hung up the phone and flung it on the bed. He turned around and stood by the window. His expression was darker than the sky outside.He attracted a troublesome admirer and got upset, but he wanted me to comfort him. It seemed that I had doted on him too much.Given how well he was used to me, I was willing to dote on him in return.I walked over and hugged his waist from behind. Then, I pressed my face against his back and said in a muffled voice, "Don't be angry. What are your
This had troubled me for a long time. I'd like to know the answer.If I were seriously injured, my parents would be so anxious that they would fly from another country and stay with me all day. They wouldn't be absent.Jasmine was either an orphan or her identity was mysterious, and she didn't want us to know."She kept her identity secret. I also contacted people at Lincoln University to retrieve her files, but the person in charge had family affairs to attend to and hasn't responded to me."Colin and I took advantage of the opportunity and had an in-depth talk about Jasmine.I had always wanted to speak with him to better understand his feelings toward her.It was important for the future of the three of us. I must make it clear.Colin didn't hide anything and told me his thoughts. He and Jasmine were merely friends and had no secret romance. What we had to do was to take care of her and let her recover as soon as possible.With the confidence he gave me, I knew how to deal w
When I saw Lilac's state, I looked at Felix with disdain. She looked very similar to Queenie that day. Had he injured her?I couldn't figure it out. How could he still sleep with Lilac after how she treated him?Did he get less picky? I had no idea what I should say to him.After what he had done, he should treat Lilac properly. After all, she was carrying his child in her belly. Why did he have to get rid of his child? He was so cruel!Winston wasn't present. I wondered how he knew that Felix was in trouble and informed us. That was odd.I asked Colin. He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.Judging from his gloomy expression, the situation might have surprised and troubled him.Hannah and I had been getting along for a while. She was cheerful and lively. I had a certain understanding of her character.Lilac must have known Hannah had a crush on Felix and specially invited her over to cause trouble. As a result, Felix found out. The duel between the two grew
If that person were Felix, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than seduce him.Besides, I had my wonderful boyfriend, Colin. How could I fall in love with Felix again? I'd only lose more than I gain.I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. And I would never accept Lilac's slanderous accusation against me.I gathered strength and wanted to slap her face to make her shut her stinky mouth, which was spouting rubbish.However, the pool of blood under her body was so striking that I came to a halt.My eyes stung as I remembered Queenie lying lifeless in a pool of blood.Lilac was hateful and deserved a lesson, but her life was at stake. I couldn't ignore her.I looked at Colin. He was putting away the phone, nodding and assuring me that he had called an ambulance.The ambulance arrived soon. After carrying Lilac, the doctor asked us who was following.Felix entered the ambulance silently. Hannah wanted to follow but didn't dare, so she held my hand firmly.I reluctantly fo
I was shocked. A four-month-old child?I stared at Felix and wondered if he realized he had become a cuckold. I was even amazed to know that he still accepted her despite the truth.I had underestimated him.He happened to look over and noticed my surprise. He gritted his teeth and glared at me coldly. "Don't look at me like this. That's not my child. I wanted to retaliate against her at first. But when I saw her, I felt sick and couldn't touch her at all. So I gave up my idea."I didn't have to care about such rubbish. She's the one who keeps pestering me and wants to get back together with me. She caused what happened today. I only care about her out of humanitarianism."It turned out this was the truth. I nearly assumed he'd be a father. It was a good thing he wasn't stupid or hopeless enough to clean up someone else's mess.Lilac's already downcast expression became even worse when she heard that. Her dead-like eyes were like a puddle about to dry up, and her body was motionl
Lilac was crying uncontrollably and was unable to continue speaking.Her following words should be something unbearable for all of us and also something she didn't want to face. It was perhaps what led her to become like this today."You were pampered by everyone, so how could you understand the suffering I've endured? You stand on a moral high ground and accuse me, but do I deserve that? I'm just a girl. I just want to be beautiful and for someone to love me, is that wrong?" Lilac was crying so hard that she could barely catch her breath. But she still intermittently accused me as if I was the cause of all the suffering she endured.How deep was her pain and despair for her to cry like that?I had to admit that what she said deeply moved me.She said I stood on a moral high ground, but was I wrong? Shouldn't she be blamed for what she did? If she wanted to be beautiful and loved, then she should stay true to herself and be the best that she could so that she was the brilliant l
When it was time for lunch, Colin suggested that we have a meal together since we had bumped into each other.Since it was still the holiday season, it was a good chance to get together.Felix said he had to go back to school for something and asked Hannah if she would go back with him. She rubbed her stomach but followed him into a cab without hesitation.Just before getting into the car, she glanced back at me. I gave her an encouraging smile. She returned the smile knowingly and nodded solemnly at me.I hoped that Hannah's innocence and brightness could bring the old bright and upright Felix back."Young people really grow up very fast."I sighed, earning a smile and a sidelong glance from Colin."Why are you worrying about them like a mother? Let's go to eat. What do you want?""Anything's fine. I'm not too hungry."Colin chose a small but clean-looking restaurant. The waiter got us a relatively quiet booth. As we sat facing each other, waiting for our meal, I realized I h
