Kiss me tender
Chapter 38 An Unexpected Visitor

The bath lasted for a long time until Colin knocked on the door. "What took you so long? You're drowning to death, aren't you? Aren't you hungry?"

Colin's words were so ungraceful that Melissa opened her eyes slowly and stared at the bathroom door, which was full of steam. In fact, she was about to fall asleep. She had been very hungry just now, but she had gotten used to it when she was hungry. Perhaps the sugar in her body had been disintegrated with protein, which helped to offset the degree of hunger. Therefore, she felt nothing when she had been soaked in hot water.

But she was indeed in the bathtub for a long time, and it was time for her to get up. So Melissa got out of the bathtub, wiped her hair with a towel, and picked out a clean bag, wrapped it around her body and walked out.

As he walked out of the room, Colin was not in the room. The clothes were neatly folded on the bed. Melissa went to pick them up. They were women's clothes, full of skirt and underwear. They were all new, but all fitted her body.

Melissa didn't care whether those were bought personally by Colin or by someone else, but it must have been done by him in person, because only he knew her figure and her favorite color and preferences. 'Should I be happy?' Melissa thought. Not only did Colin prepare clothes for her like a servant, but he also knew her well. But she just sneered and got dressed then went downstairs without saying anything. Colin had been waiting for her at the table and was eager to eat soup. It seemed that he was even more hungry than her. Candy was pouring food for them. When she saw Melissa, she greeted her warmly, "good morning, Miss Melissa. Come and have a seat. The dinner is ready."

As Candy spoke, Colin reached for a seat next to him and said, "sit by my side. Candy cooks well, I'm sure you'll like them."

Candy giggled, ladled a bowl of rice and put it on the table. "Enjoy yourself," she said Then she walked away, leaving them alone.

Melissa sat down on the chair Colin held for her, and ate quietly, as if she didn't want to talk about anything. On the dinner table, no matter what Colin told her, she was always lukewarm towards him. Sometimes, she responded, sometimes, she completely silent. Colin seemed to be very patient today, even if she was so cold, he was not angry and did not scold her. He was still teasing her with a smile. After lunch, Melissa looked at her watch and finally said, "I should go back now. It's getting dark."

But Colin caught her hand, "what's the hurry? I've told you to stay with me tonight! "

Looking at him, Melissa opened her mouth and wanted to retort. Hearing that, Colin raised his hand and swore, "I swear I won't touch you tonight. I have to rest too. How can I have energy all the time?" Hearing that, Melissa's face turned cold all of a sudden. She was not happy at all because of Colin's arrogant words or because of his deliberate provocation. At the same time, she said coldly, "Colin, why do you want me to stay? sleep in the same bed but dream different dreams? What can I say to you?"

Hearing that, a faint smile played at the corners of Colin's mouth. He said, "why won't we talk? As long as you stay here, I will take care of you. At least, you will stay here until tomorrow."

Lowering her eyes, Melissa refused coldly, "I don't want to stay. I plan to visit my parents tomorrow."

"Didn't you go back last time? Don't you go back only once a month? " Colin picked up some food and asked casually.

Melissa's eyes moved. She made up an excuse coldly, "my father will go to the hospital to have a check-up tomorrow. I want to go with him."

"I'll drive you back tomorrow morning! I won't let you be late. "Colin still answered casually.

Melissa was enraged by his words. She suddenly raised her head, frowned and stared at him, "you're not my boyfriend, so why do you have to appear in front of my parents and make them misunderstand us? If we break up in the future, what do I say if they ask me."

"It seems that you don't welcome me! Just like last time when I went to your house, you were anxious to hide and didn't want to let me in. Your affairs with me were so private? "Do you think that we can be opened in public?" Speaking of this, Melissa got a little angry.

"

Hearing that, Colin abruptly put down his chopsticks in restlessness. He turned around and stared at her coldly, "why can't we be opened to the public? Did we do something illegal? Even if there is a contract between us, and even at the beginning of their relationship, I still remember that you are the only woman I've been with in the past five years. Can't you just pretend to be in a relationship with me? I didn't tell anyone in front of them that you are my mistress. Besides, I took care of you well. Why can't you just regard me as your boyfriend? You think we can't be opened because you have a guilty conscience?" "Do you really think we're in a relationship?" Asked Melissa, scowling at him. Do you care about me? Don't be ridiculous? Do you think that being a mistress with a woman in five years is a relationship? Do you think that you spend a lot of money on luxuries when you are on a business trip or a holiday that means you care about me? It was a whoremaster rather than a lover who measured a woman's heart with money! The real conscience is to care about what the other person wants, give him or her what he or she wants. It doesn't matter how much money they have, but what they care about. Have you done these things? Perhaps you have no idea what love is? You are such a selfish, cold-blooded pervert. You will never know what love is! " Then Melissa stood up and was about to leave.

Colin was outraged. He smashed the spoon on the table, and spat, "you are not allowed to leave tonight without my orders! Or if you have the ability to walk back, I won't drive you. Your driver doesn't dare to drive you without my instructions. Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is a suburb far from the city. And the rich area is always connected with private cars and no taxi. And the rich area, well, outside at night, there are robbers everywhere. A beauty like you may be robbed. Public order can't compete with the thief's desire. Good luck!" Then he went upstairs.

Hearing that, Melissa turned around, gritted her teeth and said, "you... You did that on purpose!'

But Colin ignored her and went upstairs.

Later, Melissa could do nothing but throw away her purse and angrily sat on the sofa.

But she was getting more and more confused. Since he didn't like her, why should he make her stay? Torture her? He had indeed tortured her a lot, but this time it was very unusual. He even began to reason with her for falling in love. He also wanted to let her think that their way of getting along was to be in love.

Did Colin always considered their five years together to be a relationship? Did he always think that they were in a relationship?

Melissa found herself couldn't understand Colin more and more. He didn't love her, forced her to give up, and made her promise that she wouldn't fall in love with him. But then he told her that they were like in a relationship, gave her illusions. It was so inconsistent. What did Colin want?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
