Chapter 561

I quickly found a towel and handed it to Winston. He took it to dry the water from his hair."I looked around everywhere but didn't see anyone suspicious. Are you sure someone was following you?" His head was wrapped in the towel, muffling his voice.How could I be wrong about the footsteps? It was so clear.I calmed myself and forced out a smile. "Well, maybe."Lunch was delivered about 20 minutes late. The delivery guy wiped the water off his face and sincerely apologized to me. Then, he eagerly asked for feedback on his service.He looked to be around 20 years old and had a young face. His eyes were filled with anxiety and unease, yet he courageously made his request to me."Sorry for being late. It's raining quite heavily…" He knew he was late and tried to explain. But he couldn't find a suitable excuse. Finally, he gave up and pleaded, "I'm not hoping for your praise. Just don't give me a bad review. My salary will be deducted for receiving a bad review. Please, Miss, I be

Chapter 562

If Flynn was like Winston, willing to work hard for his own future, how could he possibly drift apart from Queenie?The painting I was working on was called Lonior's Peony. The entire composition was grand and magnificent, with gorgeous bright colors. It was one of my favorite designs in the Dreamlight project. That was why I exerted more effort than the two paintings before.After painting for a long time, my neck started to ache from fatigue. I looked up and saw that it was already pitch-black outside. The heavy rain had turned into a drizzle, streaming down the window glass slowly.The room was very quiet. Besides me, only Winston was still around. He was about seven to eight yards away from me.However, he wasn't painting. Instead, he was sitting in his chair, his arms folded over the back of the chair. He was resting his chin on his arm while staring at me without blinking.He was about six feet tall and had a slender body. He was in a white pants and shirt, which made him lo

Chapter 563

The gaze Winston gave me was a little similar to Colin's, yet it felt different. It made me think, was he really going to confess to me even after being rejected? What was he thinking?When Colin looked at me like that, besides feeling shy, there was also a feeling of sweetness and anticipation.However, with Winston, I only felt a heaviness. It was like a rock pressing on my back. I felt uncomfortable, and even the air seemed particularly oppressive. I just wanted to escape.This should be the difference between loving someone and not loving them.I felt uneasy, fearing that Winston might pursue me relentlessly as Felix did.No, I had to leave this place.So, I began to pack up my things, hoping to escape from this oppressive place in the shortest time possible before things got out of hand."Uhm, I first saw you on the day of your registration for graduate school. You were wearing a light blue long skirt, had long dark hair, and a face that was more delicate than a painting. B

Chapter 564

After finishing my words, I bravely lifted my head to look at Winston.Actually, I felt a little guilty for saying those words. But it was better to make things clear now after confirming that we had no future together. I didn't want to waste his time and effort. Not clearing things up and allowing things to develop haphazardly would be too cruel and not in line with my character.Winston's eyes suddenly turned dark. He looked at me intently for a while, as if he was confirming that I wasn't deceiving him. Then, tears started forming in his eyes. He tilted his head back and shook it forcefully."Alright, I'll give up. But even if we can't become lovers, can we at least be friends? Luna, I promise to be just a friend."He waved his hand and turned to leave after saying that, looking especially free and easy.When he turned back for a moment, I saw a glimmer of tears in his eyes.I could only sigh softly in my heart. Love was truly a painful thing. Fortunately, he hadn't gotten too

Chapter 565

Colin noticed my mood changes and gently lifted my face to kiss my forehead. Then, he rubbed his cheek against mine and said apologetically, "Darling, don't be sad. I've saved up more than a month's vacation days. After getting the project up and running, I'll take you on a trip."You can take a look at some travel guides first and choose the places you want to go. We'll visit them one by one, okay?"What a load of crap.He said he had over a month's vacation days, but I was still in my second year of graduate school. I still had a lot of coursework to complete. How could I just take a month off to go on a romantic getaway with him?What a ridiculous suggestion. He just wanted to upset me.I pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "I'm not going. You can go by yourself.""What's wrong? If there's something bothering you, you have to let me know. We'll figure things out together. Don't keep it bottled up inside, okay?"What was there to be bothered about? It was just that he was busy

Chapter 566

Still, I understood that a man should focus on his career and not on his relationship. In the end, the double date became the occasion where I was the biggest third wheel in the world.We visited every shop lot on the commercial street, hoping that we would find something impressive to buy for Julia.It was Queenie's first shopping trip in Jinovy. We were all very excited. When I saw how giddy she was when she looked at those beautiful dresses, I was convinced that she had finally moved on from Flynn. I was so happy for her.She found a good, high-paying job too. She worked very hard and knew how to do her job well. She had interpreted for several huge conferences and was commended by her superior. As a result, she received a lot of bonuses. One would say that she had become a successful businesswoman.As for me, thanks to Professor King, I had earned a lot of money too. I was now financially independent. And like all women, when I had money, I wanted to spend it all on shopping.

Chapter 567

I put the statuette in my palm and admired it. It looked better in my hands than on the rack. And since I loved it so much, I was going to buy them for 5,000 dollars.Right when I took out my wallet to pay, Andrew stopped me. He haggled with the staff member seriously, and they finally settled for a price of 700 dollars.I was shocked. Was this how people haggled? Didn't she boast that it was made with the finest material and that it had great artistic value? Without Andrew, I would've shelled out the money like an idiot. Lucky me because I just saved 4,300 dollars!The heir of the Lambert family sure was a smart businessman. He knew how to save money too! I was so happy that I gave a thumbs-up. Queenie, who had always acted indifferent toward him, also peered at him appreciatively. Andrew was so elated by the attention he received.When the staff member packed the statuette and gave it to me, they lamented that they had never sold it at such a low price. They said that they had me

Chapter 568

"Oh, look, Jasmine. Colin gave me this bracelet when I was at Lincoln University. I cherish it a lot since it was given by someone I love. I've never taken it off. I don't think I'll wear another bracelet no matter how pretty."Jasmine tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and glanced at my bracelet. Then, she uttered gently, "I know, but you don't find a bracelet you like every day. As women, we should rely on ourselves. We can't ask our boyfriends to pay for everything."If you're not financially independent, you'll be extra vulnerable even when you're married."I gritted my teeth, wishing so badly that I could sink my teeth into her. She was implying that I was poor and that I was leeching off Colin's wealth. I was infuriated. But I wasn't going to let my anger take the bait. I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction.When she provoked me, I had to keep my cool. If I lost my cool, I would be giving her what she wanted. So no, I would not give her what she wanted. I'd make her f

Chapter 569

Colin and I chatted for a while before ending the conversation reluctantly.Within those three minutes, Jasmine showed expressions of mortification and anger. More and more malice accumulated in her eyes. When we bade farewell, her bodyguards appeared silently again and leaned forward to talk to her. Their gaze kept returning to the bracelet.Too lazy to deal with them, I left the luxury shop. When we arrived at the entrance, Queenie let out the laughter she had been stifling. She gave me a thumbs-up and said that Colin sure doted on me a lot. He and I had become a couple who could read each other's minds.She also complimented me on my expertise in dealing with a hypocrite. According to her, I had learned how to manage the situation better after having been "trained" by Jasmine.As we walked, I felt that someone was staring at me intensely. I turned around and saw that Jasmine was glaring at me. The hatred in her eyes almost manifested as blades, ready to pierce my body. I ignored

Chapter 570

I was surprised to hear that from Andrew, who majored in finance. I often relied on others for everything. If I said I wanted to have my own art studio, Colin would be the one establishing it. I'd just join once it was done.But upon hearing Andrew's rally, I was enticed. He truly had what it took to be the family's future scion—he could be very convincing. And I was very convinced. Perhaps deep down, I had always wanted to achieve something on my own.Colin was capable enough to give me a comfortable life where I could pursue what I wanted to do without a care. But presently, I was his girlfriend. And in the future, I would be his wife. I wanted to fight with him instead of being the pampered princess."An art studio doesn't appear magically. I need a place to paint. The mural is only half-finished. I need a conducive environment."Queenie tossed the fish filet that Andrew had given her earlier back onto his plate. Then, she sanitized her cutlery with a tissue paper before grabbin
