I never thought Queenie would feel inferior due to her failed rtionship and abortion. The reason she


    rejected Andrew was most likely her fear of his prestigious family.


    Flynn, who came from a prestigious family, hurt her so thoroughly. Andrew''s family background was far


    higher than that of the Hayes family. She might think that as the daughter of an ordinary family, she


    couldn''t integrate into his.


    Overall, shecked confidence in her future with Andrew. She''d been dating Flynn for five years, but


    things had ended horribly. Not to mention Andrew, who was three years younger than her and from a


    wealthier family.


    She appeared soft yet was firm. Ever since she came out of her rtionship with Flynn, she had closed


    herself off.


    She didn''t want to get hurt again, so she didn''t dare to start a new rtionship.


    Andrew stroked her hair helplessly. He smiled lovingly and told her to forget about persuading him. It


    was his business to pursue her anyway. She was only responsible for enjoying it. As for what the future


    held, she should wait and see. He would never let her down.


    He was the second man I''d heard simr promises from. The first man was Colin.


    The conversation in the kitchen ended. To avoid disturbing them, I had to leave quietly despite the


    stinging numbness in my legs.


    This night could be regarded as my small reunion with Colin. He was probably exhausted. After taking


    a shower, he only kissed my forehead and hugged me before falling asleep.


    The temperature was slightly low at midnight. I awoke from the cold and reached out to grasp the quilt,


    only to discover that Colin wasn''t beside me.


    I wanted to go out to find him, but I noticed lighting through the bathroom door crack.


    I walked over and found him sitting on the toilet seat. He held a half-burned cigarette with his eyes


    closed. As the light was too dim, I couldn''t tell whether he appeared lonely or irritable.


    I identally touched the door handle and opened the bathroom door.


    Colin was taken aback when he saw me in a suspender nightgown with my bare feet in the dim light.


    He swiftly restrained his emotion


    et


    and stubbed out the cigarette. He then walked over to scoop me up, left the bathroom, and ced me


    on the bed.


    He grabbed my soles and asked unhappily, "Why don''t you wear


    slippers? What if you get a col.ne


    have stomach cramps again?"


    When the weather turned colder, I would experience excruciating difort throughout my period.


    After Colin found out about it, he paid close attention to keeping me warm.


    Yet, my attention was on his thoughts rather than on my soles.


    "Did you get into any trouble?" I asked, tugging at his sleeve.


    He paused for a moment before swiftly continuing to massage my soles to warm them up. "No, I didn''t.


    I just wanted to smoke." "You should smoke less. That''s not good for your health."


    "I got it. Be good, baby. Let''s return to sleep. You have ss tomorrow morning."


    "Okay. But you have to let me know if you have any problems. Whatever happens, I''ll always be by


    your side."


    "Okay."


    Colin hugged me andy down again, caressing my cheek and coaxing me to sleep.

    I sniffed his faint smell of tobo and remained awake when he fell asleep.


    Colin probably experienced something that caused him difficulties. What might it be?
