Chapter 446
Queenie’s body swayed. She subconsciously stopped, and her tears spilled again.
Andrew stood behind her. This time, he didn’t do anything. He just waited quietly for her to
make a decision.
Within a few seconds, she made her steps and entered the stairway. He breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.
Fortunately, Queenie persisted in her decision. Her future would be easier since she had
taken the first step in staying away from Flynn. She might be in pain, but as long as she kept moving forward, she would eventually emerge from her suffering.
From today on, Queenie and Flynn’s relationship was over.
When I entered home, I was so tired that I slumped on the couch to distract myself from the chaotic thoughts in my mind.
Andrew welcomed Winston to sit as if he were the host–and opened the fridge to get
Winston a bottle of water.
Queenie went straight into the bathroom. When she came out, she had stopped crying, but her eyes were still a little swollen.
“Lulu, how about we eat seafood pasta?” Queenie asked me lowly.
After I agreed, she took out the ingredients from the fridge and went into the kitchen to prepare meals. Andrew thoughtfully slipped on an apron and followed her, leaving Winston and me on the couch. We awkwardly stared at each other.
Since there was a guest, I couldn’t just sit there and say nothing. It was too rude. Just as I was thinking about starting a topic, Colin sent me a video call invitation.
He wasted no time in making the call. When I picked it up, his face showed on the screen. He looked as attractive as ever, but his eyes were dim. He appeared exhausted and frowned slightly.
He held the phone in one hand and rubbed his brows with the other, looking extremely tired.
I didn’t even need to ask. He had gone to the hospital after sending me to the airport. He probably stayed there until now without resting.
Perhaps I was too selfish. Colin had been spending time with another woman, which made
1/2
me unhappy when I think about it–even if she was his savior.
“Are you home?” he asked me hoarsely. I could tell he was uncomfortable.
Wasn’t he asking nonsense? He was making a video call. Couldn’t he tell whether I was at home?
“Yes, I just got back. Do you have a headache, Colin?” After a while of holding back, I still
asked about his condition.
“I’m fine. You seem to arrive a little later than expected. Is the flight delayed?”
“I met Flynn downstairs. I wasted some time dealing with him.”
Colin frowned slightly. Obviously, Flynn’s appearance surprised him. “Are you hungry? I can order you some takeout.”
“No, thanks.” I turned my phone around. “Look, Queenie is preparing my seafood pasta. It’s delicious and hygienic. I don’t want takeout.”
He smiled. “You haven’t slept well in the past two days. Enjoy your meal and go to bed early. If Professor King needs help, call me anytime.”
I turned my phone back, but the camera lens accidentally caught Winston. When Colin saw it, he immediately frowned and asked me in dissatisfaction, “Why is Winston here?”
Colin White, it was a video call. Winston could hear it.
Colin’s jealousy was too blatant.
I told him, “Oh, my luggage is too heavy. I couldn’t lift it, so Winston helped me bring it up.
“Didn’t It
‘Didn’t I tell you–do you remember what I’ve said?”
Colin probably realized halfway through his statements that he shouldn’t be jealous of a student. So, he replaced his embarrassing incomplete sentence with a pause.
“I remember. But there is so much stuff. I can’t take them all. You’re not here either. What should I do if I didn’t ask Winston’s help?” I deliberately crossed my legs and acted
rebellious.
Hmph, I hadn’t even held Colin accountable for hugging a woman a few days before. Couldn’t a junior send me upstairs? I felt unjust that he questioned me.
Colin choked, gritted his teeth, and became unpleasant. He stared at me for a while before saying, “I’ll go back soon. Don’t bring strangers home again. It’s not safe for you girls.”
