"Alright. Be good now. There are no buts. You've already angered me without realizing it. I have yet to get even with you."You were out of my care for only a few days. How did you get so much slimmer? It took a lot of effort for me to fatten you up a little."You went and reversed all my work. Are you trying to be a skeleton?"I don't want to be a skeleton.Turning my head around arrogantly, I pretended that I didn't care if he was there. He had no right to say that to me."On that note, why aren't you eating?" Colin reached out to flick my forehead. However, I managed to twist my head and avoid it."I've already eaten. I do eat every day. Colin, you don't have to humor me here. You can go and accompany Jasmine." I sniffed, feeling slightly angry."I'm alright on my own."I did eat every day. But I was still becoming slimmer each day. I felt like it was such a waste of food since it did not help."How can you tell me you've eaten when you're all skin and bones? "That's enou
I struggled to break free from his embrace, wanting to hide under my sheets.I hated myself for acting like this and always crying. I felt weak.I did not want to be someone like Lilac, who always used her tears as a weapon against people.Colin laughed and caught me firmly. He pressed his forehead against mine. His voice was hoarse and slightly seductive. "So, are you still going to help deliver other people's love letters?"I shook my head obediently. "No.""Will you still try to help me find a lover?""No. Colin, I'm sorry." I apologized obediently.I finally understood what happened. Colin was angry at me for delivering another woman's letter.Now that I thought back about it, I had indeed acted too hastily.Colin had never told me about what kind of girls he liked. I could have been ruining Colin's chances at happiness by sending him all those letters."Alright. I know you're a good girl. I would also like to apologize to you. I shouldn't have left you alone for so man
It was my first time being in this hospital, so I wasn't familiar with the place. I had walked around for a while before finding the bathroom.I was about to open the door when I heard someone talking in the smoking room by the bathrooms. I could hear them clearly as they weren't exactly quiet."You're not going to hide it anymore? Can't bear it?" It was Jasmine. "Yes. I can't bear it anymore.""I never thought someone like you would…"Jasmine sighed and continued, "I won't say anything. Just take good care of Lulu. You can come to me if you need help. I'll try my best to help you. "Since we can't be lovers. We can at least be friends."Colin got up with a smile. "Of course. Thank you for your help."Jasmine immediately noticed me standing by the bathroom door when she left the smoking room. She turned around to look at Colin before giving me a meaningful smile.Then, she left.I couldn't believe I felt slightly happy when I heard that Jasmine and Colin would not be lovers.
Eden swayed his hips as he walked toward Colin with a seductive expression. Colin lifted his leg and kicked him in exasperation. Eden hit the wall as he groaned in pain.I laughed along with them. Although I understood that Colin only saw me as a sister, I still pulled the covers over myself shyly. I didn't want to listen to their teasing.At that moment, I thought about how happy I would be if Colin could continue treating me so kindly.But I knew it would be impossible. Colin was no longer young. He would find a proper girlfriend soon. He would get married and build a family.By then, I would no longer be the woman he cherished the most.But that was a situation for the future. At least Colin still loved me the most right now. That was enough for me. When Colin found the one he loved, I would try my best to treat his girlfriend with kindness.Queenie ignored my bashfulness and lifted the covers to expose me. "What's wrong? How can you act like that when you're the one who t
I had to stay in the hospital for another three days. Colin sent me back to my dorm on the day I was discharged. That had attracted the attention and envy of the girls from my dorm.Queenie said that Colin had been protecting and looking after me as if I was a porcelain doll. It reminded me of historical times of how the prince would protect the princess.Throughout my stay in the hospital, Colin had been regulating my food. He wouldn't let me eat most things. He only allowed me to eat different kinds of porridge every day.I felt like I would puke if I had to eat porridge for another day.Not to mention, I still hadn't received a proper reason behind his disappearance a few days back. It caused me to be in a foul mood.Colin did reflect on his six days of absence and promised to never abandon me again. So, I decided to be the bigger person and forgive him. We quickly returned to being friends.After we made up, Colin seemed much more attentive and gentle toward me.I greedi
"But I have you here with me. I believe you'll keep me safe. You even managed to beat Shawn to a pulp. Just let me drink one more beer," I said with a kittenish toneI tugged on Colin's sleeves, hoping my stubbornness would get him to agree with my request.Colin held my hand, and his tone remained firm. "Be good. You'll get a headache if you drink too much."Eden had to close his gaping jaw. "Oh, my God. Colin, since when were you so gentle? I never knew you could be so charming. I don't think I can stand this. I'm falling in love with you.""Stop dreaming. Colin is Lulu's man. Don't even think about it."Colin had drunk too much. His bright eyes looked slightly dazed, making him look charming and seductive.There was a slight itch in my heart. I suddenly felt the urge to reach out and touch the corner of his eyes.So, I reached out to touch it gently, along with his long eyelashes.God had definitely favored Colin. He had such flawless skin. Even his eyelashes looked perfect.
I thought I would have spent winter break alone. I was reluctant to leave my dorms. However, Colin was already waiting for me downstairs when I left my block. He said he hadn't been home for two years, and his family had asked him to return home.I was so happy that I jumped in excitement and asked why he didn't tell me. Colin told me he wanted it to be a surprise.I had to admit, I was indeed surprised.With Colin with me, the ride back home was much more comfortable. He was attentive as he took care of me like I was a young child.My mom opened the door and was surprised to see me with Colin. She froze momentarily before greeting us happily."Colin, you're back and looking as dashing as always. Did Lulu cause you any trouble in school? I know she can be quite clingy." She took my luggage and invited us in."How could that be? Lulu has always been a good girl. She's no trouble at all. "I'm quite happy to take care of her." Colin chatted with my mom as he turned around to kno
Soon, the food arrived, and Uncle Austin began encouraging everyone to eat. We all listened and started to eat.All four parents had different expressions on their faces as they ate quietly. Even Uncle Austin and my dad, who would often drink together, were exceptionally quiet as they looked at their food."Lili, the fish and chips here are delicious. Have a bite." Felix broke the silence and gave Lilac some of his broccoli.He told her about the fish and chips here. Yet he gave her broccoli instead.It looked like Felix wasn't as calm as he appeared to be.Lilac didn't eat the food on her plate. Instead, she was staring at Colin. "Felix, is this your big brother?"Felix's hands froze as he looked at Colin. Then, he said, "That's right. He's my brother. He graduated from Lincoln University. It's the same school that Lulu goes to. Don't you know my brother?"Lulu, didn't you bring Lili to meet Colin when she went to your university?"I paused. I felt awful and couldn't swallow t
