Maxime changed the tough and playful demeanor he had with the owner once he was immersed in his work. He turned into a serious person as he earnestly explained the weaving method to me patiently while demonstrating it.

In less than an hour, the keychain was woven. Although it wasn't as neat and pretty as what an expert could make, I received praise from Maxime as a novice since it took shape.

Queenie took the keychain and compared it with hers. She found it quite interesting and decided to choose a jade-colored yarn to learn together with me.

Time flew by when a person was deeply immersed in something. It was already dark outside when I held the four finished keychains, and we admired each other's work.

I checked my phone and saw several missed calls and over 20 unread messages, all from Colin.

Queenie's phone also had some notifications from Andrew.

I returned Colin's call. He said that he could return early today and asked me to send him my location so that he could pick me up.

    "You witnessed what Queenie went through because of her previous relationship. In fact, she only exhausted herself loving someone and did nothing wrong. I don't want anyone to hurt, criticize, or humiliate her because of these things.""No matter how many times I promise you about these things, it won't be as convincing as when those scenarios actually happen. I don't want to make empty promises without personally going through the actual situation."Luna, if Queenie ever suffers even the slightest harm or injustice because of me in the future, I'll take responsibility and apologize." Andrew's expression was solemn. Despite the smile he had, his gaze was sincere.It was still too early for this kind of talk as they were not even dating as of now.Although his promise seemed sincere, things were always changing. How many people could truly fulfill their promises?Just consider examples like Queenie and Flynn as well as Felix and Lilac. Which of these couples didn't make solemn vows

    Colin was still in the shower. I wanted to wait for him to fall asleep together."If you're tired, just sleep. Don't strain your eyes." The bed sank beside me as he finally climbed into bed. Looking at my strange posture, he chuckled and removed my hands that were prying my eyes open.I shamelessly rolled over and snuggled into his arms. His body was still warm from the shower and had the scent of shower gel.I rubbed against him like a little puppy, finding the most comfortable position to nestle in. "Colin, your birthday is coming soon."He grunted in response while gently stroking my back with his large hand, affectionately kissing my forehead before rubbing his chin against it. "And you're not sleeping because of that?""Mm, you've always celebrated my birthday before. So, this time, I want to celebrate yours properly.""It's just a birthday that happens every year. It's not a big deal. There's no need to make a fuss about celebrating it.""No, we're celebrating it." I was s

    The entire creation process would be recorded, and there would be an additional score for creativity.The judging panel would score the artwork based on the actual situation in the rooms, which would be included in the total score.In summary, this competition was not just about painting skills but also about personal psychological maturity and creativity. Those who were fixed in their ways of painting would be eliminated by the times.This was considered a pioneering initiative for such competitions. It would provide greater room for expression and pose a greater challenge to artists, making it fairer and more transparent. This would serve as a new test as well.Therefore, it aroused great enthusiasm among students from famous universities nationwide. The number of participants doubled, and many students who did not sign up regretted missing such a good opportunity.Winston was a master of oil painting. The team he led had five members, three male and two female. They were all we

    Just a moment ago, I almost thought that I would become that unlucky strawberry."Are you sure? I think you're quite the daring one! Young people nowadays really have no conscience. When they need you, they'll come to you eight times a day, almost begging each time. But once they become successful and famous, they'll kick you away without hesitation."What kind of society is this? Respecting the elders and valuing education has completely become just a meaningless phrase."The professor exaggeratedly pounded his chest and stomped his feet. He even squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes. It was as if once I uttered one more word of refusal, I would become the ungrateful student deserving of punishment."I definitely didn't mean that, but you can't just force it on me, right? I'm just thinking about your reputation. "Professor, think about it. I'm your apprentice. If I reluctantly do something uncertain and it goes wrong, both your reputation and ability to judge peopl

    "I heard that there are four new tutors in the freshman year, all of them from graduate school. The response toward the other three tutors was mediocre except for you, Ms. Luna. Everyone had high praise for you. It's as if they worship you."This must be the psychological maturity that Professor King talked about. Come on, tell me, how did you brainwash the students? I want to learn too," Winston asked me with a smirk.I rolled my eyes at his remark.What was all this about? Why would I brainwash my own students? Why would I waste my time on something like that? It was useless.If the students said I was good and liked me, it was because of my personal charm and my skills in painting. It was definitely not some calculated strategy!But how could I explain this to him? There was no way to explain it. It was just not in my nature to play games.So, I kept my mouth shut and ignored him."Ms. Luna, I heard that the professor arranged for you to be our psychological counselor. Have y

    We talked and bickered for a while until we saw the transparent dome of Crystal House."In fact, when it comes to psychological resilience, your inner personality traits play a significant role. While external influences may have some effect, the progress won't be very noticeable. Overall, it still depends on your self-discipline."If you lack this inner strength, it won't change the nervousness you feel when facing difficult situations."My words made Winston burst into laughter. "Ms. Luna, you really sound like a 60-year-old scholar."Scholar? I was clearly a pretty young woman.But before I could explode in anger, Winston took the opportunity and redirected the conversation. "So, what we need is practical experience, not just theoretical knowledge. We can read up on psychology, but we can't truly empathize without experiencing it ourselves."That was true.I stopped in my tracks to ponder. I couldn't really disregard the professor's arrangement as he had entrusted this matter

    I knew many young, handsome men, and they all had their own charm.The 18-year-old Felix was aloof and proud; the Matthew who became the heir of his family was reserved and bold; Andrew was outgoing but possessive; Maxime who taught me weaving was the embodiment of elegance.And Colin, whose face was as mesmerizing as the moon and whose eyes sparkled like the stars, could be gentle yet fearless when needed. The mole next to his eyes added to his allure. If an incubus truly existed in this world, it'd be him.As exceptional as he was, Colin kept a low profile. He focused on his work and me, maintaining a polite distance with everyone or everything. Nevertheless, he was a regular on the Confession Wall. Even I, who barely paid attention to the goings-on on campus, had heard about how popular he was among the ladies.So when he stood on the path leading to Crystal House under the sunlight, it was like gazing at a masterpiece. Inside Crystal House, other than Winston and me who wer

    "Come back, Wendy. Mr. White is here to pick Luna up. Don't be a third wheel now," called out a male student, disregarding whether the whole revelation would put Wendy in an awkward situation."Wait, is that true, Mr. White? Luna is your girlfriend?" Wendy covered her mouth in disbelief. Her eyes lit up as if she was surprised and delighted to learn that I was Colin's girlfriend."Yes." Colin nodded and walked toward me, who was standing by the entrance. He tucked a lock of hair behind my ears and grabbed my hand. "I came to pick her up for lunch."Sheesh. Did he have to perform all these romantic gestures in public? Where was his decorum as a lecturer? Everyone would mock him.I blushed uncontrollably and whispered to him that he should stand farther from me. However, he ignored my demands and pulled me into his arms. Several other students screamed loudly, especially Wendy, who nearly confessed to him just now. She was so happy that she was kicking her feet.Seriously? Even the

    Luna furiously scolded me, asserting that I didn't deserve Queenie's love and that Queenie had been blind to my true colors all those years. Driven mad by desperation, I chased after Queenie, determined to tell her I was wrong and plead for another chance to prove myself. However, the young man intervened, delivering a swift and punishing combination of punches and kicks that knocked me to the ground. Humiliated, I struggled to get up and fight back, unwilling to lose to another man.Despite his youthful appearance, the look in his eyes as he glanced at Queenie was undeniable. It was a blend of love, desire, and possessiveness only a man could understand.I was consumed by the thought that he wasn't worthy of my precious Queenie's love.Nevertheless, my body felt heavy and powerless. It was as if the strength had been drained from me. The blows rained down on me, bringing with them a strange sense of relief amidst the pain. Part of me yearned for him to kick me harder, inflict

    I wanted nothing more than to run to Queenie, to hold her tightly and tell her how much I missed her during those endless days apart. I wanted to kiss her deeply and feel the warmth of her embrace. I called out, "Queenie, I'm here."Seeing me seemed to jolt Queenie from her joyous state, replacing it with a vacant expression. Mere moments before, she had been smiling brightly, her eyes aglow with happiness. Now, she appeared lost, her initial elation dissipating into a blank, unresponsive gaze.I couldn't understand why she had turned so distant upon seeing me. The love and joy that once shone in her eyes were nowhere to be found. As I observed her, I wondered if our time apart had caused her to forget. Or perhaps the events of the past had wounded her so profoundly that she had stopped waiting for me.The thoughts terrified me, and I dared not ask for fear of confirming my suspicions. All I wanted was to hold her, kiss her, and tell her how much I missed her. Yet, it seemed tha

    I had no interest in Daniela's pregnancy, so I kicked her out of the house. My friends came to console me, each expressing their sympathies with a drink because they didn't know how else to comfort me.The money I had sent to Queenie's account was quickly returned as the account had been closed. Her phone number became unreachable, and when I sought her at her parents' home, I found the elderly couple waiting anxiously for their daughter's return. I lost not only Queenie but any connection to her. I grew disinterested in everything, neglecting my company and spending my days in a drunken haze.Then, my uncle came. We drank through the night as he shared tales of his hardships, the painful memories of his mother, and the years he spent alone, suffering.He said, "Everyone has their fate, Flynn. And choosing one thing often means losing another. Just as you've chosen to fight for the family business, you've sacrificed a part of yourself. But you must rise and fight me with all you'v

    Queenie would then jump off the cliff, leaving me to jolt awake in a cold sweat. I endured each twilight in my hopeless vigil, counting down the days.On the 75th day, the door finally unlocked. I stepped outside and realized that this was the neighborhood where Queenie and I lived. All this time, we had been mere yards apart.My mom truly knew how to break a person's spirit. All I had to do was lift my head to see the pomegranate tree planted in our yard.I stumbled toward our home, my wounds screaming as I desperately called for Queenie. But the immaculate house stood eerily silent, echoing my footsteps like thunder.Except for Queenie, every possession remained meticulously in place—the exquisite clothes, expensive jewelry, and designer cosmetics.Queenie was gone, and the thought of losing her drove me into a frenzy.I collapsed in the middle of the room, sobbing uncontrollably. Regret consumed me. I should have never let my family's threats manipulate me and left Queenie to

    I clenched my fists, barely resisting the urge to rush over to Queenie's side. All I wanted was to embrace her and whisper assurances that I would protect her, always. But I knew I had no right to do so.My dad's threat hung heavy in my mind, and the stares of Daniela and her mother bore into Queenie like daggers. One wrong move or word and those blades would descend upon Queenie, cutting her to shreds.The pain was unbearable. I felt sorry for Queenie. I was powerless and couldn't help her. With all my heart, I wished for her to stay strong and survive. She deserved better than me. Daniela's mother slapped Queenie, calling her a whore and a homewrecker, accusing her of seducing other people's boyfriends.Queenie stood rigidly, her gaze filled with humiliation. Her lips trembled, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.I winced in agony but held myself together, picking up Daniela and walking away.Countless times afterward, I berated myself for choosing to take Daniela away

    We both knew the truth—neither of us could cross the chasm that had formed between our hearts.After that, I went home almost every day. We managed to maintain a semblance of normalcy in our day-to-day lives. We prepared sumptuous dinners and tended to our garden. I even considered adopting a pet to keep Queenie company while I was away.However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't rekindle the warmth we had once shared. Queenie hardly smiled anymore. No matter what I did to cheer her up, she would only give a half-hearted smile, her eyes remaining cold and distant.I knew something had transpired during our separation, but she refused to discuss it. My attempts to uncover the truth through private investigators were in vain. Any evidence had been meticulously erased.Eventually, I realized Queenie was simply biding her time, waiting for the moment when she would be forced to relinquish all hope and leave.A month later, my mother joyfully told me that Daniela was pregnant an

    I grabbed a brush from the bathroom and scrubbed myself furiously, desperate to wash away the overwhelming sense of filth. Even as the rough bristles tore into my skin, drawing blood and causing searing pain, I felt no closer to feeling clean.My mind was consumed with thoughts of Queenie and the nearly five years we had spent together—the happy moments, the arguments, every single memory.At that moment, I realized I was terrified. Never before had I experienced such abject fear. Knowing Queenie's uncompromising stance on love and fidelity, I knew she would never forgive me once she discovered my transgression.She would undoubtedly turn and leave, heedless of any pleas I might make. I probably wouldn't even have the courage to ask for her forgiveness in the face of her justified anger.I regretted everything. If I had listened to my friends and taken Queenie away from all this, none of this would have happened. But I had hesitated. Even now, I couldn't be certain if my hesitati

    Yesterday afternoon, my dad called and demanded that I make a decision within two days, or they would take action.I felt cornered because I genuinely didn't know how to talk to Queenie about this. The mere idea of her packing her belongings and leaving, accompanied by the unspeakable anguish it would inflict upon me, was a burden too heavy to bear.I wasn't sure if I could ever have a semblance of normality in my life again after that.So, I gathered some friends to drink with me. I drank heavily because I had made a decision—a disgraceful, heartless decision. The thought of what I would have to face the next day made life seem hopeless, so I drank even more.Before losing consciousness, I handed my car keys to my assistant, using my last bit of clarity to tell him to take me home no matter what state I was in.Even if it meant returning to the Hayes family's residence, he should not leave me out on the streets. Despite the imminent breakup, I wanted to part ways with Queenie in

    My mom proved to be even more ruthless than my dad. She found me, dropped to her knees without a word, and begged me. She reminded me of the years they had spent raising me, pleading that I ensure they wouldn't be left without a sense of security in their old age.In essence, they were pressuring me to abandon everything. I was to pursue money and power for their sake, secure the Hayes family's head position, and ensure our grip on wealth and influence. Their priority was maintaining their luxurious, elevated lifestyle. My happiness, my desires—whether I even wanted those things—meant nothing to them. Sometimes, it felt like I was nothing more than a tool for achieving their ambitions.My dad told me bluntly that he would go after Queenie if I didn't comply. He said, "You're right. I'm incapable of outmaneuvering your uncle. But no matter how incompetent I am, I can easily make Queenie's life in Harveyton unbearable."To be honest, that day was the coldest my heart had ever felt
