Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 526

When I answered the phone, I heard Colin's deep and steady voice, which made my ears hot.

"Hello, Colin," I greeted him sweetly.

"Hello, baby. Have you gone home?" His voice sounded like a subwoofer.

"Yes, I have. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I have some things to do later. I'll go out to dine after that."

We talked for about five minutes. I could vaguely hear the sound of the number-calling machine on the other end of the phone. I was curious about where Colin was.

I decided to ask him before the call ended. It was only a question, and Colin would give me the answer.

However, I'd always thought that asking was a distrust of him and a blasphemy against our relationship.

After much thought, I decided to trust him.

Colin stated that Flynn's engagement ceremony was postponed because he was severely ill and almost died. Fortunately, he was rescued.

He had no idea what illness Flynn had or how he got it. I didn't ask for the details as well.

Flynn was no longer involved with us. Furthermore, there was only a wall dividing the master and the second bedroom. I was worried that Queenie would overhear something she shouldn't. She had struggled to cheer herself up. I didn't want her to get despondent again.

"That was his fault. He got his retribution. I don't care about him and won't tell Queenie as well. Don't mention it to her. I don't want her to feel sad for that bastard anymore."

Colin was silent for a moment before saying that Flynn was quite pitiful. It was up to me whether I told Queenie about it.

That was great. I wouldn't tell her anyway.

When I spoke to Colin, my voice wasn't low. So, I went into Queenie's room and stayed with her for a while. I wanted to make sure she didn't hear what I had said. Queenie was so drowsy that she barely replied to me. She probably didn't hear anything.

In the evening, I chatted with Mom and then played games with Jade and Zara. I didn't go to bed until about 11:00 pm. As a result, I woke up late the following day.

I tidied myself up and intended to leave without breakfast, but Aunt Laura stopped me. She gave me a lunch box and asked me to take it.

She claimed that skipping breakfast would cause me to gain weight. Knowing I had no time, she had packed breakfast for me and asked me to eat it at the college.

I only had one lesson in the morning and would leave class at 9:30 am. I headed to Crystal House with my lunch box. As soon as I finished my warm breakfast, I noticed Colin enter.

I subconsciously looked at the watch. It was 10:05 am. Did Colin drive back right after completing his tasks? Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned so early. It exceeded my expectations. When I saw him, I was stunned. Was he really my incredibly talented and handsome Colin?

After not seeing him for a day, he appeared haggard. He was still well-dressed, but he couldn't hide his exhaustion. He scowled and seemed troubled.

I approached Colin and reached out to smooth his forehead.

In addition to me, there were five junior art students in the studio. To avoid disturbing them, we didn't talk much. He leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

"You didn't sleep all night?"

"I did, but less than two hours."

"Why are you working so hard? Do you not want your life? Nothing is more important than your health. Making money is important, but you should first take care of yourself."
