Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 534

Colin returned late at night. I awoke as his heated body pressed against mine. However, I was so sleepy and tired that I couldn't talk much with him. I only wanted to sleep. He bit my earlobe and kissed me for a while before hugging me tightly and falling asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I was alone. I touched the sheet and found it cold. Colin had been gone for a while, and his scent was no longer in the air. To be honest, I felt a little lost.

It was 7:00 am when I finished washing up. As I had no classes in the morning, I intended to practice my cooking skills.

I put on my slippers and headed to the kitchen. Then, I saw Queenie serving breakfast. There were two plates of spaghetti, ravioli, and bread rolls on the table.

"Did you make them?" I took a ravioli and chewed it. Its delicious taste caused me to exclaim with satisfaction.

"My cooking skills aren't good enough to make all of them."

"I think so. Colin must have made such excellent ravioli."

"Since you've known it, you didn't have to ask me. Are you trying to show off in front of me? Don't bully me for being single." Queenie took a sip of her coffee and joked with me. "You'll no longer be single. Your suitor comes to you every day."

I regretted it after I said it. Andrew didn't come yesterday. My words would only make her sad.

I checked my phone when I woke up, and Andrew also didn't respond to my message last night.

I was generating issues for Queenie. I shouldn't have mentioned Andrew. I often spoke and acted without thinking about it.

I wanted to slap myself for speaking crap all day.

Probably because I, as a person with an extremely low EQ, had expressed my thoughts on my face, it caused Queenie to smile and pass me more ravioli.

"What are you thinking about? I'm not that weak. By the way, Lulu, I reached an agreement with the company. I'll be off until the end of this week and return to work next Monday."

"Why? Isn't it customary to rest at home for a month? Why are you so hurried? Is it not permitted by your company?"

"I don't want to stay at home for a month. It's too boring. I'd rather work than rest. What could be more appealing than economic freedom?" Queenie smiled exaggeratedly as if she was deliberately hiding something.

She was right to stay away from scumbags by starting with financial independence. If she had a high family background, she wouldn't have reached this point with Flynn.

On her first day back at work, I sent her to the company and watched her enter. After she bid farewell to me, I headed to the college.

I had used up several types of paints in Crystal House. As I had finished the rough draft of my new painting, it was time to color it. I didn't have classes in the morning, so I decided to go shopping in the supermarket.

Winston constantly prepared paints and other materials in the Crystal House for me to use as I pleased. He had meticulously arranged every detail of what would be used in the competition.

I painted to make money. I had to pay for the materials, so I bought everything myself. He argued with me several times about that, but I successfully countered it. He soon stopped mentioning it.

I chose a well-known supermarket in Jinovy. It wasn't far from the college. It only took me half an hour to walk there and about ten minutes to get there by taxi.

The morning sun wasn't that strong. There was also a slight breeze in the air, which made me feel comfortable. I decided to walk there on a whim to enjoy the scenery on my way. I hadn't seen it in a long time while staying in college to paint.
