Chapter 169 Be Careful

Colin was careful. Faye held back her breath and made no response.

Colin had expected this result. Waiting for about half a minute, he clenched Faye's hands. "If you have no objection, I'll think you agree."

Hearing this, Faye didn't dare to open her eyes, with gently quivering eyelids.

The night was bound to be restless.

Faye didn't fall asleep all night, but she didn't dare to roll over.

Until the break of dawn, she slept a little.

During sleep, Faye had a dream about her childhood.

In her dream, Faye was a little girl and looked only three or four years old.

Daisy held her in her arms and told a picture-story book to her, full of love in her eyes.

Later, the scene was changed. One dark and stormy night, Daisy and Shepard fought like cats and dogs.

Daisy questioned Shepard if he had a mistress and said she smelled the perfume on him.

Shepard denied it at first. Later, he was probably tired of arguing with Daisy and angrily admitted, "Yes. I have a mistress. Originally, I will tell you when Faye grows up a little, but you have to ask for trouble, and now we make it clear..."

Daisy was stunned for a few minutes, and then she suddenly yelled at him at the top of her voice.

She desperately pounced on Shepard, beat him, and blamed him for breaking his promise as well as his betrayal of their family.

Shepard didn't resist. His gaze fell on Faye curling up by the bed, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions beyond words.

At five o'clock in the morning, Faye woke up in a cold sweat, and she was not sleepy at all.

Faye woke up, a little confused. She stared out of the window with a blank look. It was not until half an hour later that she recovered from the feeling of suffocation.

It was finally six o'clock. Faye got up carefully, took a beige suit from the closet, and tiptoed away.

No sooner had Faye left than Colin woke up.

His throat was dry and uncomfortable, so he frowned slightly.

When Faye came downstairs with her clothes, Cindy was making breakfast in the kitchen.

Seeing Faye so early, Cindy was a little surprised and then nervously asked, "Madam, you're up so early."

Faye saw Cindy was nervous and answered with a slight smile, "The company has an emergency, and I have to go in advance."

Cindy was a little embarrassed. "Breakfast is not ready yet. I'll warm up a glass of milk for you, and is it OK?"

"Cindy, don't bother. I'm in a hurry."

Faye changed her clothes in the bathroom, then said "Goodbye" to Cindy, went to the entrance to change shoes next, and finally left with the car keys.

Not long after Faye left, Cindy calmed down and continued to cook when Colin appeared at the kitchen door in his pajamas.

Cindy paused, and she felt like weeping but had no tears. "Mr. Farrell, are you also leaving early today?"

The cold had made Colin look paler, which, combined with his icy expression, gave him an intimidating air.

Cindy thought she had done something wrong, quickly turned off the fire, put down the round-bottomed frying pan in her hand, and then looked at Colin. Colin asked coldly, "What happened last night before I came back?"

"Nothing happened."

"Think harder."

Cindy looked into his deep eyes and suddenly realized something. Then she thought for a while and whispered, "I seemed to hear that Carlotta told Madam about Madam's mother." Colin reprovingly glanced at Cindy and said indifferently, "Wise up."

Cindy responded tremulously, "I got it, Mr. Farrell."

During breakfast, Carlotta found that Faye wasn't here and asked in surprise, "Colin, hasn't Faye gotten up yet?"

Colin took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, with a vague look. "Auntie, Faye has gone to the company."

Carlotta was surprised. "So early?"

Colin was in no mood for it, his slender fingers tapping twice on the dining table without rhythm. Then he pretended to say casually, "Auntie, did you tell Faye about the past last night?" Hearing this, Carlotta paused, with an unnatural expression. "Yes. I mentioned it."

"Last night, Faye had a nightmare and woke up crying at five o'clock in the morning."

There was silence for a moment in the dining room. Then Colin smiled. "Auntie, you know better how difficult Faye's life was when she was a kid. Please try not to mention the past to her." Carlotta pursed her lips, holding back words that sprang to her lips.

With deep eyes, Colin seemed to be smiling, but no smile in his eyes. "What do you think?"

After driving out of the Fennth Community, Faye didn't go directly to the company, but casually found a breakfast shop for breakfast.

After finishing her breakfast, Faye was in a daze for a while. Then she looked down at her wristwatch. It was time to go to work, and she got up to pay the bill and drove to the company.

Faye arrived at the company. The moment she came into the PR department, she heard several employees talking about Frank.

"As the proverb goes, one covets gains ahead, unaware of danger behind. Tsk, it turned out that Frank's wife was the real hard-ass."

"I heard that Frank's secretary, Ms. Steven, snitched to Frank's wife."

"If you ask me, Frank deserves it."

Several women in the PR department were gossiping eagerly, so no one noticed Faye.

Faye went straight back to her office with her handbag in hand and made a cup of coffee, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to look outside.

It was rush hour. There was heavy traffic on the street.

Faye drank half a cup of coffee when there was a knock on the office door.

Faye turned around and said, "Come in". Then she walked to the office chair in high heels and sat down.

The comer was Galen, who was carrying several bags in her hand.

Seeing this, Faye raised her eyebrows. "??"

Galen stepped forward, put those on Faye's office table, and took out the things from the bags one by one.

Galen took them out as she muttered to herself, "Breakfast, fruit, and snacks. Oh, the cold medicine."

Holding the coffee cup with both hands, Faye glanced at these things on the office table and then looked up at Galen.

Galen smiled with pursed lips and said in a low voice, "Robert gave them to me, and he said Mr. Farrell let him send them to you."

When Galen's words fell, Faye frowned and was about to say something. Suddenly, there was a noise coming from outside the office. Just then, the office door was abruptly pushed open from the outside.

The door panel banged against the wall with the great force of the comer, which made a harsh crashing sound.

"You're Faye, right?"
