Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

I was just trying to appease Colin, but somehow, I started to feel aggrieved as I spoke.

My voice choked, and my eyes became teary. I couldn't help but say a lot more than intended.

All the longing, worry, unease, and concern that had accumulated over the past two months came pouring out. I spoke for a long time, but the focus was only on how he had company while I was all alone and miserable.

I was sure he could understand my intentions.

The coldness in Colin's eyes completely melted away as he listened to my words. Seeing my tearful eyes, he immediately felt sorry for me and started to show me his deep affection.

"Alright, alright, don't be sad anymore. I'm not angry, okay? I know you've been feeling lonely recently. I'm returning soon, aren't I? When I'm back, I'll keep you company and make up for all the time I was away, okay?

"Don't cry anymore. How could I ever be truly angry with my darling? I was just teasing you. Don't take it seriously. Be good now. Don't cry anymore. You're breaking my heart."

It was the first time I heard Colin speak such affectionate words, and they sounded quite nice.

That night, he kept comforting me, saying many nice things for almost an hour before I finally stopped crying.

When I lay down to sleep, my eyes were dry and sore from all the crying. They had become swollen and red too. I had to apply a hot towel to my eyes for a while to feel better.

Ultimately, all my grievances and dissatisfaction stemmed from Jasmine. On the surface, she was Colin's savior, so it was only natural for him to take care of her. However, in my eyes, it was hard to

repay her for her life-saving actions. Who knew what she might stir up again in the future?

I landed in Jinovy on Friday afternoon. Andrew and Queenie came to pick me up.

Although Andrew was young, he was quite reliable. When I got into the car and discussed with Queenie where to have lunch, he quietly told us that he had already booked a place. We could just go there directly.

When we entered the restaurant, we were ushered to a reserved private room. I sat with Queenie while Andrew sat alone opposite her, looking like a puppy.

It had been two days since we last met, and Queenie was looking radiant. Andrew and her were looking at the menu when her phone suddenly rang. I glanced at it subconsciously, and my head buzzed. I quickly looked at Queenie.

The sender was Flynn. "I'm getting engaged tomorrow."

Queenie saw the message too. There was a moment of stiffness in her hand that was holding the menu, and there were waves of shock surging in her eyes. They instantly became teary.

I thought she would collapse, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and gave me a faint smile as if nothing had happened. She turned her head back to the menu and continued browsing.

But her hand on the table was clenched tightly until it had turned white. From NôvelDrama.Org.

I stared at her clenched hand, feeling extreme discomfort in my heart.

If Flynn's actions before had caused irreparable damage to Queenie, then today's message was the final blow.

He could just get engaged as he wished. Why would he notify his ex-girlfriend? He was really ruthless!

During the one-and-a-half-hour meal, Queenie behaved particularly normal, albeit a little reserved.

I heartbrokenly watched her force a smile, but there was nothing I could do. I had already said too many words of comfort before. I bet she was tired of hearing them too. Besides, she actually understood everything better than anyone else.

After dinner, I went home to rest while Andrew went back to the office with Queenie.

Standing at the gate of the community, I felt very uneasy as I watched Queenie walk away with her straight back and firm steps.

A bastard like Flynn didn't deserve Queenie. Leaving him was the beginning of her new life. But she was behaving too calmly after receiving such news. She was so calm that I would have thought she never loved Flynn if I didn't know the whole story.
