Chapter 441
“Be good, baby. Don’t move. I don’t have that much energy right now. I’m not going anywhere in the morning. Let’s have breakfast first. Then we’ll go shopping in the nearby mall. I’ll take you to the airport in the afternoon.
“Be obedient when you go back. Don’t talk to men too often–especially Winston. There is something wrong with the way he stares at you. That guy is quite outstanding. You’re not allowed to pay attention to him.
“Also, make a lot of money to support me sooner. I don’t want to wait for too long. Even if I can wait, my body can’t. Last night, my body complained so much that it almost ran away
from me.
Colin mentioned his useless self–control again as if losing control was glorious for him.
I was unhappy and uneasy, but there was no other way. There were still issues I needed to deal with in college.
He brought me to breakfast before going to the leisure square to feed the birds. After that, we also went to Dawn Bay to catch shrimp and shopped in the mall.
Autumn garments were already available in large quantities. Colin stated he received a large bonus from the academic exchange this time and wanted to purchase me some outfits. He claimed I looked good in blue, but I refused him.
He was puzzled as to why I didn’t accept his gift. I said I didn’t like it. Actually, I was annoyed and didn’t want him to give me anything right now. I was afraid that he was compensating me for some reason.
He could tell I was unhappy, so he didn’t ask further. He said he’d save the money to purchase me a wedding dress in the future. Then, he selected two enormous bags of snacks for me at the supermarket.
Colin appeared tired most of the time, which made me upset and irritated. Several times, I wanted to ask him to return and rest. However, after some thought, I swallowed my words.
I knew that as long as I told him to go back, he’d most certainly go to the hospital. Since he couldn’t rest anyway, I’d better have him with me. Perhaps I was a little selfish, but love was inherently selfish.
After lunch, we arrived at the airport. Professor King and others were already waiting for us at the appointed spot.

“Be good, Lulu. I’ll return once I’ve completed my duties here. I can be with you then. Be well when you go back. I’ll video–call you every day. I’ll also take care of myself. Don’t worry, “Colin coaxed and reassured me gently.
However, I wasn’t optimistic like him. I wasn’t sure why, but my mood couldn’t get better. My heart felt tight and uncomfortable as if I couldn’t express something.
Regardless of how reluctant I was, I had to return. I could only separate from Colin.
“Take good care of your savior and pay attention to your health. Don’t get sick. I’ll be worried. Colin, come back soon. Don’t make me wait too long.”
Colin pinched my face affectionately. When I ducked away awkwardly, he helplessly stroked my hair instead. “Be good, baby. Wait for me. I’ll return as soon as possible. Well, it’s time to board. Goodbye.”
Full of unwillingness and reluctance, I turned around and left without saying anything. Colin called me twice from behind, but I pretended not to hear him and refused to look back. When I finally turned around after I entered the security check, every face behind me was unfamiliar. He had long since disappeared into the crowd.
When I boarded the plane, I wore an eye mask and attempted to sleep but couldn’t. I regretted not looking back when he called me just now. Even if I wanted to see him, I couldn’t return now.
The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it and felt uncomfortable. After a while my tears soaked the eye mask.
It was after 7:00 pm when the plane landed in Jinovy. Uncle Austin and Felix were waiting for their connecting flight back to Southsville.
On the other hand, Professor King took us to the college minibus and returned to the college.
