Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 633

With Winston's convincing suggestion, Colin lost his right to decide how he wanted to celebrate his 29th birthday. I felt sorry for him but was also relieved that it turned out this way. Thank goodness I hadn't started brainstorming what to do for his birthday. Otherwise, I would've worked for nothing.

And now, everyone was eager to throw Colin his birthday party. All I had to do was be there to celebrate the joyous occasion. Colin was new to the college and was already very popular, thanks to his impressive talent and charming personality.

At around 1:00 pm, everyone had their fill of good food. Colin went to get the bill while several mischievous students covered their mouths and sniggered as if they were about to pull a prank.

The payment went about normally. Noticing my confusion, he gave me the bill. I looked at it and almost had a heart attack. 3,700 dollars? How much did they order?

I had nothing to do when I went back. But since everyone had such an eventful morning, to avoid overstimulating our minds, we forced ourselves to calm down and drew for three hours. Then, we continued the story that we had dropped in the morning.

When I mentioned how I did not notice Dad and he frightened me when he hugged me from behind, the talkative Wendy shared, "Truth be told, Luna, I can hear an ant walking by when I'm all alone, let alone my dad walking in. My grandpa said that I'm not made for painting.

"He said I should be a detective instead since nothing can escape my ears or eyes. So when it comes to mental focus, I feel like 70% of it comes from personality and 30% comes from training. "After almost two decades of training, I now can divert 95% of my focus to my drawing. As for the remaining 5%... It's useless anyway. So why bother?"

Her humorous tone and delivery made everyone laugh out loud. Immersing myself in the jovial atmosphere, I couldn't help but recall what I was like at Lincoln University. I was brokenhearted. I licked my wounds and was depressed. I had never laughed from ear to ear before.

Alas, it was in the past. We couldn't turn back time. I could only march forward and live my every day to the fullest.

On October 11th, a long-term project under Colin concluded. The project team held a celebratory dinner. And as his girlfriend, my presence was mandatory.

I had no class in the afternoon. Therefore, I stayed at Crystal House to draw until 4:00 pm. Then, Colin picked me up so that I could get ready.

Jinovy was located in the south. It was breezy in mid-October-also the month when it was the most comfortable. One wouldn't get all sweaty the moment they stepped out of their house, and there was no glaring sun to greet them. I loved it.

On campus, I wore mostly sporty or casual outfits. Since I was attending a banquet where Colin would be in the spotlight, I had to wear something gorgeous. I couldn't embarrass Colin, could I?

I took out the newly bought long white dress with pastel green embroidery that I had never worn before. I put on some plain makeup and tied my hair into a neat bun. Colin helped me put on a pair of earrings that matched my bun. Then, I wore a pair of pearl white high heels.

I stood before the dresser, posing and smiling. I looked like an elegant and classy lady who came straight out of a Renaissance painting.
