Chapter 95 Reluctant

Men knew men best.

Even if Colin didn't answer the question, Tanner almost knew the answer in his heart.

Colin and Faye had no grudges in the past or recently. The only thing that could connect them was a romantic relationship.

The only logical reason for Colin's sudden interest in Faye's affairs was that he liked her.

Otherwise, it didn't make sense.

After figuring it out, Tanner didn't feel nervous or flustered anymore. He sat down slowly, "I'm afraid I have nothing to say about what you want to know."

It was hard to tell whether Colin was angry or not from his look. He stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray in front of him, "So resolute?"

Tanner smiled. "As Faye's friend, although I can be of no help to her, at least I can't betray her."

Seeing Colin staring at him, Tanner added, "Mr. Farrell, actually you should be happy that Rebecca and I are hiding it from you. At least it shows that Faye didn't make the wrong friends."

Colin sneered, "You are quite good at playing such mind games."

Tanner, "It's not a mind game. It's truth."

Judging from Tanner's attitude, Colin already knew that the trip would be fruitless.

If Tanner and Rebecca weren't friends with Faye, he would take some extraordinary measures.

But the two were Faye's best friends for many years, and he couldn't do anything that would break her heart.

Colin was silent, while Tanner sitting on the sofa broke out in a sweat.

Tanner didn't know what Colin was thinking at the moment, but he knew very well that there was no way to fool Colin.

He had heard about Colin's tricks from Faye. It was said that Hank had arranged for someone to stay beside Colin as a mole a few years ago. After being discovered by Colin, that person was tied and thrown into the river.

Colin didn't drown the mole to death; he just got him out of the water and then threw him in repeatedly.

In the end, the mole didn't die but went crazy with fear.

As Tanner's imagination was running wild, Colin, who was sitting across from him, suddenly stood up. Tanner was startled and looked up, but Colin just strode out without even glancing at him.

Colin walked out of the room and saw Rebecca stomping with a cup of hot water to keep herself warm. Seeing Colin, Rebecca was startled.

The next second, Colin walked up to her and sneered, "Seems that you look forward to my frequent visits."

Rebecca was shocked.

Rebecca watched Colin leave and then went inside the office.

Seeing Tanner, Rebecca handed him the hot water, "Tanner, from today onwards, I'm going to look at you with admiration. You are bold. What did you tell Colin? Why did he leave so soon?" Tanner took Rebecca's hot water to warm his hands with a calm expression, "I didn't say anything to him. It's probably because it's too cold here and he can't stand it?" Rebecca rolled her eyes.

Tanner said, "Can't you just spend some money on the radiator?"

Rebecca glared at him, "Do you think I didn't pay? The heating pipes in this area are being repaired. I spend so much on the heating one year, but the pipes are always under repairment."

Colin came out of Rebecca's office and drove home.

On the way, Colin made a call using car Bluetooth.

The call was connected, and Abbot's mocking voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "Hey, Mr. Farrell, haven't you been busy dating your wife recently? How come you suddenly call me?" Colin was not in the mood to joke with him, and he said bluntly, "Do me a favor."

When Abbot heard Colin's serious tone, he couldn't help but become serious, "What favor?"

Colin said, "Keep a watch on someone for me."

Abbot asked suspiciously, "Who? Man or woman?"

Colin said, "A woman."

Abbot said laughingly, "Is she beautiful?"

Colin teased, "You know her. She is Rebecca, Faye's bestie."

Abbot knew Rebecca. As far as he knew, Rebecca and Colin had no conflict, so he couldn't help but wonder, "What do you want to keep a watch on her?"

Colin told him the truth and told him about Rebecca's phone call with Faye.

Hearing Colin's words, Abbot was surprised, "But Faye looks quite fine. What disease can she get?"

Colin's grip on the steering wheel tightened, "I don't know. Just keep a watch on Rebecca, and maybe try to loosen her tongue."

Abbot complained, "You are forcing me to set up a sex trap!"

Colin sneered, "It will be great if you can do it. You should thank me for saving you from your monk life."

Abbot cursed and then asked after a pause, "Colin, tell me the truth, do you still like Faye?"

Colin was silent.

Abbot knew that he couldn't admit it because of his stubborn pride, and he teased, "What a freaking affectionate man!"

On the other side, Faye and Carlotta arrived at Fennth Community.

As soon as they entered, Carlotta was stunned by the house. She turned her head and asked Faye suspiciously, "Only you and Colin live in such a big house?" Faye bent over to change shoes, "Yes."

Carlotta, "It's so big."

Faye took out another pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and squatted in front of Carlotta to help her change, "You'll get used to it over time." Carlotta looked down at Faye, "I'll go look for a job after I get fully recovered."

Faye smiled, "Take your time recuperating. I can support you."

Carlotta pursed her lips and felt bad for her, "I know you earn a lot now, but I am your aunt anyway, I should have taken care of you, now..."

Carlotta choked with sobs.

Faye was not an emotional woman; she didn't want to continue this topic with Carlotta, so she changed the subject.

After changing Carlotta's shoes, Faye pushed Carlotta's chair inside.

Faye arranged for Carlotta to sleep in a guest room on the first floor so that she could move around easily.

After Carlotta was settled, Faye went to the second floor.

The master bedroom and the study were on the second floor. Faye came here once before but had never entered.

Faye stood outside the master bedroom for a while, then reached out, turned the doorknob, and pushed in, only to see her suitcase.

Faye was stunned for half a second and stepped into the room.

When was her suitcase taken here?

Why didn't she know?

Faye was thinking when suddenly there was a steady sound of footsteps behind her.

Faye turned around, only to see Colin grinning while loosening the tie with his fingertips as he walked in, "Have you got it unpacked yet?"

Faye didn't answer and asked instead, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Colin threw the tie into the couch beside him, "I came back as soon as I settled my thing."

After Colin finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Faye and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think I come back too early?"

Faye reached out and pushed the suitcase inside, "No."

Colin strode to the closet, opened it, and pointed to the space that he had cleaned up, "See if the space is enough for you, if not, you can put my clothes down here." Colin turned his head to look at Faye and suddenly asked, "Do you like the drink for lunch?"

Faye replied subconsciously, "Yes."

Colin smiled, "Actually I touched your glass with my lips, right the part you touched!"
