Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 468

I didn't expect someone to come to my side, making me jump in my seat when Winston spoke.

It was outrageous for my junior to overhear me talking with my boyfriend like that. So, I quickly hung up the phone in a panic.

Colin's message came quickly. It was just three simple words, but it made my scalp tingle.

"Wait for me!" Reading those three words was like looking at his face while he was gritting his teeth.

Fine, I would admit that he succeeded in threatening me.

I could just wait, I guess. It was not like I had never seen a dick before, even though I had no experience. He wouldn't actually kill me, would he?

As long as I was still alive, I would have my chance for revenge later. By then, I hoped he wouldn't be the one begging me. Hmph!

I decided to decline to help out with the welcoming party because last year's event had left a lasting impression. I didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. I preferred a simple life, without all the scheming, explanations, flattery, or showing off.

I finished reading all the documents the professor gave me and rearranged the direction of my painting accordingly. The changes in the new documents were not significant. It was mainly adding names for each villa, so my task was to determine the content of the paintings based on the names.

From the names, many of the samples I had previously painted could be used, which made me very happy. The frustration that had been weighing on me somewhat dissipated.

The professor said if it were up to him, he wouldn't have agreed to Dreamlight's requests. But Dreamlight was an excellent platform. So, after much thought, I agreed in order to increase my visibility in the industry and showcase my true abilities.

I was deeply grateful for his heartfelt consideration for me. This made me particularly invested in my paintings.

Summer vacation was coming to an end. I hadn't been home for several months because of Felix's incident and my desire to focus on my paintings. After being separated for such a long time, I wanted to spend time with Colin when he came back on the weekend.

So, I decided to make a trip back to Southsville before the weekend. I planned to stay home for a few days and accompany my parents so that they wouldn't worry about me.

After telling Colin about my plan to go home, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. But he reminded me not to go back to the old house if there was nothing urgent. He wanted me to avoid bumping into Felix as much as I could.

Of course, I agreed to everything he said. Even if he hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't want to go back there either as I wouldn't want to meet Felix alone.

What he did had planted a thorn in my heart that could never be pulled out. So, I would avoid him at all costs.

After leaving Queenie with Andrew, I embarked on the journey back home.

While waiting for the plane at the airport, I chatted with Queenie on WhatsApp, asking her to seize the opportunity and capture Andrew's heart. But she responded with harsh words, saying that she would beat the crap out of me once I came back.

Since I couldn't convince Queenie, I texted Andrew, asking him to show that he could be the best boyfriend and take good care of Queenie. He needed to take this chance to root himself in Queenie's heart. Andrew seemed to be busy and didn't respond to me while Queenie was too harsh for me to continue. So, I could only close my phone and listen to music alone. People said trouble never came alone.

Just as I excitedly entered the house and dropped off my luggage, Felix turned up with even more bags and packages than me, who had just returned home.

I didn't know how it was so coincidental.

Seeing me at home, he was stunned at first but later was surprised at my sudden appearance.

He was a guest, after all. I nodded slightly as a form of greeting.

Felix smiled a little, his chestnut-colored eyes sparkling. They looked clean and clear. He was quite different from the Felix I had seen some time back.

At this moment, I seemed to see the young man before the age of 18, with bright prospects and a pure vibe. The coldness he usually exuded was gone and was replaced by a hint of warmth. Unfortunately, no matter how he changed, it had nothing to do with me anymore.

Everything about him had long ceased to concern me.

"You came back?" he asked.

Wasn't that obvious?

I nodded subconsciously. "Just arrived."

"Who is it? Oh, Felix. Why did you come at this time? Is something wrong?" Mom came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands as she walked over. She quietly separated Felix and me. Oh, my dear mother. She couldn't have come at a more appropriate time.

I let go of the door handle and sat back on the couch before picking up my cup. I drank everything in one gulp.
