Melanie’s eyes were moist as though she was about to cry.

She was also a person who had never suffered any failure or setbacks since she was born. But nowColin rejected her in person, and she felt so humiliated.

Lucien quickly tried to smooth things over and dragged Colin to the side. “What are you doing?”Melanie came all the way to see…”

Before Lucien could finish, Colin interrupted coldly, “When you picked me up just now, you should knowthat I spent the night at a woman’s house.”

Colin didn’t lower his voice deliberately so that Melanie could hear him.

As expected, Melanie was shocked in disbelief.

Seeing Melanie’s expression, Lucien almost jumped out of his shoes. He tugged at Colin’s sleeve andasked in a low voice, “I know it. So what? It means nothing!”

Lucien had indeed guessed it. However, Colin didn’t introduce the woman to him but waited alone atthe entrance with suitcases. The woman didn’t even show up. In his view, Colin didn’t take that womanseriously.

Perhaps it was just a one-night stand, which wouldn’t affect him helping Melanie pursue Colin.

Melanie was the youngest daughter of their tutor. In Lucien’s eyes, Melanie was young, beautiful, andgentle. She was suitable for a cold fish like Colin, who looked utterly emotionless. Most importantly,Melanie Loved Colin deeply. Weren’t they a perfect match?

Colin couldn’t bother to speak with Lucien. He pulled Lucien’s hand away and walked toward Melanie.

“Melanie, your parents are both living abroad. Vertoak won’t be your home.”

In other words, she shouldn’t have left her parents and come to Vertoak for him.

When Melanie heard what Colin had just said, tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Seeing the young girl crying in front of the two men, Lucien couldn’t bear to watch and hurriedly gaveMelanie a tissue to wipe her tears.

Colin didn’t care at all and coldly continued, “Besides, I’ve already made it clear that I don’t have lovingfeelings for you. If you insist on pursuing me, it will never work.”

Colin had made his attitude clear abroad when noticing Melanie’s had an affection for him. It was justthat Melanie hadn’t given up all these years.

Colin thought for a moment and added, “I already have someone I love, and I’ll marry her in the future.”

As soon as Colin finished speaking, both Melanie and Lucien were stunned.

Lucien glared at Colin as if he had seen a stranger. He had known Colin for years but never heardColin mention someone he Liked.

All these years, Colin hadn’t shown any interest in women. For a time, Lucien thought that he Likedmen.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped Melanie actively because he thought that perhaps Colin was toodull to know his own heart. Melanie felt the same way as Lucien.

Colin had been single all these years, making Melanie believe that there was no loved person in Colin’sheart. And she had stayed with Colin for years because of her father, so she surely thought that shehad the advantage of being his girlfriend.

But who would have expected that Colin could spend the night with a woman and even claim that heloved that woman?

Melanie felt that her entire world had collapsed, so she ran away crying.
