Chapter 450


    Colin was talking nonsense. Why should I waste my energy peeling the shrimp when someone had


    already done so?


    When I was a kid, I had my finger pricked by a shrimp. I didn’t want to get pricked again. If no one


    peeled it for me, I’d eat it whole, spitting away the skin.


    “Then don’t eat shrimp.”


    He was quite domineering. Who was he trying to scare? I wouldn’t listen to him.


    “That won’t work. I like shrimp.” I wrinkled my nose and pouted cheekily. I looked away, refusing to look


    at him properly.


    “Who is that?”


    “Winston.”


    “Didn’t I say-” Colin rubbed his forehead helplessly as if I had caused him a headache.” Tell me, what


    are you making a fuss about?“!


    I showed him an unhappy expression. “Repaying the savior with life.”


    Colin was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean?”


    “Stop pretending. Didn’t she save your life? She even wrote you letters while we were at Lincoln


    University. You two reunited and spent many days in the same ce. You even held her so tightly when


    you got out.”


    He seemed to be angry about my statements but found themughable. His eyes were sparkling. “Little


    brat, so this is your actual purpose, right? I felt something wrong with you during thest two days. It


    turns out you’re jealous.


    “Jasmine is indeed my savior, but I won’t repay her with my life. I promised myself to a heartless girl a


    long time ago.”


    His promise was just what I was waiting for. I couldn’t help but feel proud, but Lpretended not to let it


    go. “I don’t believe it. You held her so tightly that you didn’t even notice me standing next to you. You


    have no conscience.”


    “Yes, I have no conscience for not noticing you. I know you made a lot of effort toe here and save


    me. You had suffered. It is a life–saving grace, so I’ll give myself to you. However, you must wait until I


    get back before doing so. Please wait for me patiently. Don’t let others


    1/2


    take advantage of you, okay?”


    I pouted and refused to agree.


    Colin’s voice went lower and softer like the strings of a guitar being plucked on a moonlit night. It


    sounded so intoxicating. “Baby, it was an ident that day. If the rescue team had brought a stretcher,


    I wouldn’t have needed to carry her out.

    “It’s only a temporary measure to save people. It has nothing to do with feelings. I’ll carry her out


    regardless of who she is, even if she’s not Jasmine. Baby, are you jealous because youck


    confidence in yourself?”


    Hmph, whocked confidence? I was just upset.


    I retorted, “When did I get jealous? Jealousy will only make me feel worse. I only like shrimp. I’ll eat


    fried shrimp tomorrow.”


    “Yes, you’re not jealous. But you’re not allowed to eat shrimp until I return.


    I was about to lose my temper when Colin’s eyes became affectionate and passionate. “Baby, I want to


    kiss you.”


    My n to confront him crumbled.


    Even though I was ready to make a fuss with him, his deep affection and warmth drew me into a trap I


    couldn’t escape.


    Colin was quite skilled at flirting. In this life, I might be unable to escape the love web he had spun.


    I blushed and hesitated, too embarrassed to look at him.


    I couldn’t recall how many times I kissed or hugged him to sleep. Despite his request, I‘ couldn’t


    ovee my nervousness. My face heated up, and my heart was beating wildly.


    “I’m right here. Come on, you can kiss me.” I mustered my bravery and attempted to appear


    triumphant, raising my chin to challenge him.
