Chapter 402

Queenie was trying to show herself that a breakup wasn’t as tough as she imagined. It was just slightly painful. There was no medication to cure it, so it was something that she had to

endure on her own.

A month had gone by, and I was now facing the final examination of my

school.

Colin’s calls became as regular as meal times. He offered detailed advice on every minor issue like a concerned father. It was only after I assured him that I would record his instructions on my phone and commit them to memory that he would agree to end the call.

Every time this happened, Queenie would look at me with envy and comment that I was lucky to have met the right man.

I had secretly asked Colin about Flynn’s current situation. Surely, Flynn would have thought of reconciliation after spending four to five years with Queenie. Was he really unwilling to make an effort to salvage what they had?

Colin said that it would be better for Queenie if they could part ways amicably. It was best to let go of the past so that she could get on with life. He didn’t share with me about Flynn’s

situation.

Colin was right, and I shared the same thoughts. It was best to let go of the past and remain oblivious to Flynn’s situation. What was done was done, and we should focus on the future.

I was worried that Flynn would continue to harass Queenie. That would truly be a tragic situation for her. Endlessly dwelling on the mattered could lead one to feel utterly exhausted. and devastated.

My grades in the final examination were decent, much better than I had expected. The professor was delighted with my results and praised me for being a promising talent.

When summer vacation started, my mother called to ask when I would be returning home. I was worried about leaving Queenie alone, so I decided to stay back and accompany her a little longer. When she had time off, I planned to take her back to my home for a vacation.

I could spend the summer holidays working on the Tudor–style necklace. The faster I completed it, the sooner I could earn money. It wasn’t that I was money–minded. I was happy to earn my keep based on my efforts. Besides, only a fool wouldn’t wish to earn more money.

Colin didn’t comment on my plan; my happiness was all that matters. I began juggling my time between finishing my art and taking care of Queenie.

Seeing Queenie gradually regain her spirits and the sparkle in her eyes filled me with a sense of accomplishment. I never knew it felt so great to care for someone. No wonder Colin had never

gotten tired of it.

The days went by uneventfully, and Queenie began to smile more frequently. Each day, she would come home to share amusing storles from her day at work and updates on her ongoing projects. She recounted the meetings she organized and proudly shared her accomplishments with me.

I was glad to see her looking confident and happy. The fearless and optimistic Queenie I knew was coming back.

One idle afternoon, I decided to stroll to Queenie’s company to surprise her after work. The company premises were expansive. There was a gated entrance to restrict access to authorized personnel.

As someone who didn’t have the required documents, I had no choice but to linger at a hidden corner near the entrance. I wanted to give Queenie a surprise.

Unexpectedly, my impromptu decision to pick Queenie up allowed me to witness a surprising

scene.

As the music signaling the end of the workday rang, the employees started to bid their farewells before driving off.

Queenie stepped out of the company slightly later. She wore a long white dress, her hair cascading like a waterfall behind her. Her delicate makeup accentuated her petite yet exquisite features–rosy lips, almond–shaped eyes, and willow–like eyebrows.

With a printed beige bag slung over her shoulder, Queenie resembled a university student.

I had always known Queenie was attractive, but I never imagined that a slender person like her would look this stunning in the sunlight.

It seemed that Queenie belonged under the sun.
