But no matter how slim the chances were, we had to try and fight for it.

“Don’t worry. If you’re really determined and he comes to pester you, both Colin and I as well as our friends here will help you.”

Queenie told me many things that she couldn’t express over the phone. We chatted until late at night, so much so that when we woke up in the morning, it was almost nine o’clock.

I was thinking about Colin’s trip to Lagado and planned to get some ingredients so that I could prepare some food for him.

Just when I wanted to call him after getting ready, I saw the text messages he had sent me.

He had guessed that I would sleep in, so he didn’t call to wake me up. Due to a change in plans, his evening flight was changed to the morning, and he boarded at 8:30 am. He told me not to worry and that he would be back soon.

He also said that during his absence, I should stay away from Matthew and other men who always stared at me, or he would deal with me after he returned.

He rambled on in seven to eight minutes of voice messages and transferred ten grand to me, saying that it was my living expenses.

Previously at Lincoln University, I had saved nearly a hundred thousand dollars. After coming here, I participated in two competitions with the professor and collaborated on a project, earning me quite a bit.

Moreover, there were subsidies for graduate students, and my parents were also giving me a monthly living allowance.

Usually, it was Colin who was managing my finances, so I didn’t get many opportunities to spend money. Now, I had almost 200 grand in my savings. And I still had a project that I was working on. It looked like I would become a millionaire soon.

Honestly, I didn’t lack money. I had originally wanted to return the money to him. But then I realized th

if we were going to be a married couple in the future, it wasn’t necessary to split everything so clearly.

Plus, if I returned it, he would definitely be unhappy. So, I accepted it. After all, it was his heartfelt gesture. I couldn’t disappoint him.

But he left quietly. Just the thought of not having him around for the next two months made me sad enough to want to cry.

So, I cried while I sent him some voice messages. I asked him to let me know once he landed and to come back soon. I also told him that I missed him. If he didn’t come back after two

months as promised, I would search for another person who was willing to take care of me. I wondered about his reaction when he heard the last one. Maybe he would come back immediately just to strangle me. Anyway, I just wanted to make him a little nervous.

Since Queenie and I got up late, we didn’t have breakfast. After getting ready, I took her out for lunch.

I had classes in the afternoon, so Queenie said she would take a walk around nearby and see if she could replace a suitable job. I gave her a set of keys and asked her to be careful and to call me if anything happened.

It was good to go out for a walk. A change of place could change one’s mood and way of life.

People still needed to live even without love. And with a job to keep her busy, she should be able to get over the gloom sooner. She might even replace her soulmate.

Colin video–called me at around five in the evening.

I was reading in my room, so I quickly answered the call. As soon as I saw his chiseled handsome face on the screen, I teared up due to my fragile emotions. I gave him a puppy look, silently accusing him of abandoning me.

He felt sorry for me, but he couldn’t hug me through the screen. We were so far apart from each other right now. He could only tell me to wait patiently and that he would be back soon.
