Queenie and I shared no secrets, so I told her what Jasmine did last night. Queenie was so livid that she yelled and threw whatever was within her reach as if she were the victim in the entire situation.
Then, she huggedand said, “Lulu, I don’t know what to say. My love life is a failure, but that doesn’t mean I don’t long for love. I can tell that Colin loves you a lot and you hold him dearly. Since you two love each other, don’t make a decision that you’ll regret. Ads by PubFuture
“I never told you this but Lulu, back then, I dropped everything and followed Flynn because I thought that I was doing it for love. I thought Flynn was worthy of my sacrifice, so I did everything I could. While my effort didn’t pay off, I regret nothing. Because I’ve done my part.” As she spoke, pain and misery disappeared in her beautiful eyes. There was only sadness and lament. Five years of effort and it didn’t work out. What a pity.
“Queenie, if Flynn gives everything up and wants you back, will you reconcile with him?” “No.” “Why?” I wondered why she was so decisive. Ads by PubFuture
“Because I don’t love him anymore. Disappointment and pain have exhausted whatever love I had for him. No one wants to spend the rest of their lives with someone they don’t love.” I fell silent. She was right. Love was the element that motivated us to trust and rely on others. What Jasmine did left an ugly scar in my heart. But for the love I believed in, I would put effort and trust in Colin. Regardless of the outcome, I didn’t want to have any regrets.
“But it still feels iffy to me.” Queenie clasped my hands affectionately and uttered, “I get it. I think Colin feels that way too. Don’t overthink it. Taking care of Jasmine with Colin is your current priority.” “I know.” I rubbed my runny nose. I wanted to spend the night with Queenie, but Andrew kept coming to askto sleep in my room. I relented. “Must you keep popping in to shoo me? If I can’t sleep with her, you can’t either.” I glared at him.
He bore his teeth and murmured, “I’ll sleep with her one day. But you? She’s never sleeping with you.” Fine. He wasn’t wrong anyway.
At 6:00 am, I was awakened by a commotion in my room. I opened my eyes and saw that Colin was taking off his shirt. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and got up. As I yawned, I asked why he cback and why he didn’t go to work right away.
Colin had already taken a shower, and his hair was still wet. As he m buttoned his shirt cuffs he said, “Today is Monday. We’re bringing Jasmine to the hospital. Have you forgotten?”
in Right. I knocked on my groggy head, got out, and took a shower in then bathroom. Onced was done, I saw a dapper Colin sitting on the couch with a sullen expression. Confused, I rubbed my nose. He didn’t even cback last night. Why was he so grumpy? I didn’t do anything to piss him off.
