    Chapter 195 Retreat to Advance


    Colin''s voice was steady, and his brooding eyes were full of persistence and seriousness.


    Faye''s fingers on his chest froze when she felt his strong heartbeats.


    She subconsciously believed his words and felt so sore in her chest that she had difficulty breathing.


    Seeing her keep silent, Colin leaned forward. However, he didn''t hug or touch her but just looked at her


    with puppy eyes and said in a low voice, "It''s OK if you don''t want to date me."


    When she pursed her lips silently, he added, "It''s OK if you just want to sleep with me."


    Hearing this, Faye blushed.


    Colin said, "But can you please stop saying harsh words and taking away all my hopes."


    Faye felt a sting in her heart.


    Then, he stared at her for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "Please pity me."


    Colin''s words hit Faye''s pain point, so she staggered backward and almost bumped into the washbasin


    behind.


    Seeing this, Colin leaned forward and put his hand between her waist and the washbasin in time


    without holding her.


    Compared with his previous filiations, his cautiousness now looked more moving in Faye''s eyes.


    She lowered her head silently and looked at the scars on his sturdy arm that had been hurt in Conda


    Area.


    The atmosphere in the bathroom froze because both of them fell silent.


    When they were at a stalemate, Colin''s cell phone suddenly rang.


    Heating the ring, Faye let out a sigh of relief as if being granted an amnesty.


    Seeing her relieved expression, Colin stretched out the other hand to steady her body, withdrew the


    hand on her waist, turned around, and walked outward when answering the call, saying, "Hey, Abbot."


    Abbot said on the other end of the phone, "Colin, how are you doing?"


    Colin walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Cut the crap!"


    Hearing his sullen tone, Abbot tutted, "Are you disappointed in love again?"


    Colin snorted, "It''s none of your business."


    Hearing this, Abbot asked with joy, "Faye rejected you again?"


    Instead of feeling ashamed, Colin said proudly, "She rejects me every day, and I''ve gotten used to it. If


    she stops rejecting me, I''ll feel ufortable and worried."


    Abbot scolded, "Why are you so shameless now?"


    Colin smiled, "Why are you calling me?"


    Abbot righteously said, "Why? Can''t I call you just because I care about you?"


    Colin knew Abbot very well, so he was sure he would not call him for no reason. Therefore, he teased,


    "Have you made any progress in the rtionship with that college student?"


    Hearing this, Abbot pretended to be reluctant and said, "I don''t intend to tell you about such things. But


    if you are so curious, I can talk to you about it."


    Colin deliberately said, "If you don''t want to talk about it, I won''t force you to do so."


    Abbot said, "It is not a big deal. I won''t hide such a little thing from you."


    Before Colin could reply, Abbot hurriedly continued, "Colin, I feel a little angry to talk about this matter.


    Jaquelin''s roommate friended me two days ago, and she keeps implying that she likes me."


    Colin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is Jaquelin?"


    Abbot answered, "My girlfriend."


    Colin teased, "It''s been only a few days, but she has be your girlfriend?"


    Abbot didn''t answer his question but continued, "We''ve been friends for years, so you should know me


    well. I''m rich, handsome, and funny, so others may misunderstand that I am a yboy, but I am a


    conservative man."


    Colin said, "I did not expect you to think so highly of yourself."


    Abbot said annoyedly, "Can you stop joking?"


    Colin chuckled, "OK! Go on."


    Abbot sighed, "That girl is Jaquelin''s best friend. I was afraid Jaquelin would feel sad, so I didn''t dare to


    tell her about it. How should I appropriately reject her? Do you have any idea?"


    Colin jokingly said, "I don''t know. I only have the experience of falling in love secretly, but I have never


    been pursued before."


    Abbot nodded, "That''s true."


    He just wanted to brag to Colin and had never expected him to give him any useful advice.


    After the proud boast, he said in a serious tone, "Actually, I am calling you because I want to talk about


    Hank."


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Colin asked with a smile, "What happened?"


    Abbot said, "After he failed in thepetition with you for the public welfare project, he contacted the


    shellpany I prepared and ced an additional order of 200 million dors."


    Hearing this, Colin sneered, "My grandfather is always monitoring Hank''s financial situation. I guess the


    200 million dors was all of his savings."


    Abbot said, "Probably he wants to make ast desperate effort."


    Colin sneered, "Don''t rush to draw in the. Even though he takes out all his savings, Tiffany still has


    money."


    Abbot sincerely admired Colin''s iron fist and said, "You are cruel!"


    Colin took out a cigarette case from his pocket, put a cigarette into his mouth without lighting it, and


    said coldly, "If it weren''t for him, I would long have been together with Faye."


    Abbot joked, "Why don''t you force her to give birth to a baby. If you two have a baby, Faye may relent


    and ept you."


    Colin bit the cigarette and said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Because I can''t bear it to see her


    suffer."
