Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

I didn't respond. I didn't want to hide my true emotions in front of my best friend.

Queenie gently stroked my hair and asked, "Is there anything you can share with me? Don't keep it in your heart. You'll get sick with worry."

She was right. I was an adult. I had to learn how to handle situations like these on my own. I couldn't ask my parents for advice on everything. It felt good to have a best friend to share my issues with.

So, I told Queenie about Jasmine's injury and that she was going sightseeing with Colin on Saturday.

When Queenie heard the whole story, she felt troubled and couldn't think of a good solution for a long time. The whole matter was so thorough and aboveboard. I was upset because I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Others would accuse me of being ungrateful if I stopped Colin from taking Jasmine out.

That was why I felt disturbed. There was no way I could deny his deeds. It gave me a big headache.

"Tell me the truth, Lulu. Do you believe in Colin so strongly that nothing can shake you?" Queenie held my hands with her cold hands. I grasped her hands back, keeping us warm.

"I believe in Colin. I'll always believe in him as long as he needs it. But the main problem now isn't with me, but with Colin."

I trusted Colin not to betray me when we were in love, but I wasn't sure if his feelings would be swayed by Jasmine's life-saving grace. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

I had a similar experience. The decision-making process was particularly difficult.

Queenie clicked her tongue. "That's right. Even if a man swears he loves you, he would still change. If you're overconfident with him, it'll blind you. You'll be hurt in the end."

Before she finished speaking, sadness returned to her. She was probably thinking of her and Flynn's tortured love.

He didn't look for Queenie again, and she looked calm in daily life. She only concealed her worries and silently healed herself. After many years of relationship, she found it tough to move on. She needed time to get over the past.

I was still hesitating whether to tell her about Flynn's engagement. Based on her current state, I'd better not tell her. Instead, I should wait until she forgot her sadness.

She didn't have anything to do with Flynn. It didn't matter whether she knew about his engagement earlier.

Moreover, how could Flynn compare with Colin?

Colin wouldn't do those shameless things that Flynn had done. At least he never made me doubt his love.

"Forget it. Trouble will come to me anyway. If I get this far, I'll find a way to settle it. My conscience is clear. At worst, I can break up with him."

I irritably pulled up the quilt to cover my face, saying reckless and harsh words to conceal my guilty conscience.

I muttered inwardly, "Break up? I won't break up with you, Colin. I hope you won't let me down. It's quite difficult for me to accept you. You can't betray me. If you try to go to Jasmine, I'll hold you back."

Queenie remained silent for a while before saying vaguely, "That's nice if you can do that. But, are you willing to let him go?"

I stated, "Love is between two people. If he wants to leave me, I can let him go. He just needs to tell me in advance. I can't stop him from loving someone else. I also have dignity. Hmph."

"You act unusually. How can you back out before anything happens?"

"I'm not backing out but taking precautions. I'm preparing myself for the worst-case scenario. As for Colin, unless he tells me he no longer loves me and wants to marry someone else, otherwise..."

I raised my hand and tightened it. "He can't get out of my grasp. Even if I have to fight other women to the death, I'll never let him go."
