Chapter 74
+15 DONUS
Fine. Since I was unable to get the answer from the others, I decided to ask the person involved.
“Colin, why did you kick that girl? Tell me what you were thinking at that time.” I smiled and approached Colin, getting close enough to smell his scent.
Aaron, seemingly fearless after a few drinks, took the opportunity when everyone noticed Colin’s changing mood. He provocatively teased him, “Maybe he found her smell unpleasant, haha.”
“What? Does that girl not take showers? How could she smell that bad? But Colin, that’s still not right. If she smelled unpleasant, you should keep your distance. Kicking her out is too much. It’s not very
gentlemanly.”
“So, are you saying I should hug her and give her a couple of kisses to be a gentleman?” Colin’s face turned gloomier, making it unbearable to look at.
I felt helpless at how he misunderstood my simple words.
Colin’s remark caused a few of the guys, who were in the middle of chugging beer, to choke and spit their
drinks out.
Colin glared at me with a sullen expression. It seemed like he was genuinely angry.
Feeling a bit uneasy, I didn’t dare to continue and awkwardly rubbed my nose. “Well, I didn’t mean it like that. I wouldn’t allow you to kiss just about anyone.”
“That’s right. It’s not just you, even we won’t let that happen. We have been friends for so many years, and I have never seen him treat a girl nicely. We all used to think that he might be the dominant type because, well, he’s too damn charming,” remarked Aaron.
“But now I understand. He’s not the dominant type; he’s just waiting for someone. Fortunately, that someone has appeared, and his days of being single are coming to an end.”
“Don’t listen to him. Eat up.” Colin fed me the orange juice again.
Aaron seized the moment and continued his teasing. “Look, he’s still feeding her. Colt, you’re basically as
loyal as Lulu’s dog now.”
“Stop attacking us. Colin has always been good to me since we were kids. If you had a sister, wouldn’t
you be good to her too?” I argued with Aaron, displeased.
That was my dear Colin he was talking about. How could he tarnish the pure and noble bond we shared?
And what was with ‘loyal as a dog‘? Only a boyfriend could be called that. Colin was far from it.
Flynn, who had been eating quietly, finally found the chance to join in. He tossed away the finished skewer and grabbed another one. “Exactly. If I had a little girl like Lulu as my neighbor, I would spoil her
to death.”
I glanced at Colin, who was handing me another skewer, and felt that Flynn’s words had a hidden
meaning.
Wasn’t this conversation supposed to be about Colin’s gossip? How did it end up involving me? We were
going off–topic.
That night’s encounter was both thrilling and uneventful. Colin not only saved our lives but also treated
us to a delicious skewer feast.
The aroma was so tantalizing that even Queenie couldn’t stop smacking her lips in the middle of the night. That small gathering had also created a delightful story between Queenie and Flynn.
Because of this incident, my impression of Colin improved tenfold. From then on, Colin took full charge of my three meals plus late–night snacks, and I wasn’t allowed to act on my own.
Although I protested, Colin told me that if something like that were to happen again, his heart would stop beating. To keep him healthy and alive, I chose to obey him.
Colin’s rules somewhat restricted my freedom, but luckily, the meals and snacks he prepared were all my favorites. Thus, I had no choice but to surrender.
