Colin grabbed my hand and kissed it with passion and desire. As he was too exhausted, he didn't do anything further.

"If you're tired, go home and take a nap. You don't have to accompany me."

"It's inconvenient."

"Inconvenient?" I asked him in confusion.

He stroked my face and said nothing. He only gave me a wry, charming smile.

After thinking for a while, I realized that Aunt Laura was most likely not at home. Andrew had something to do at college and couldn't return on time. So, Colin found it inconvenient to be alone with Queenie. She would live her own life in the future. For her happiness, we should give her and Andrew space to get along.

Colin and I had been dating for a long time, but we'd always had troubles. Until now, we had only spent a few days together.

I couldn't help but recall what he suggested that day about finding a new house. Initially, I assumed it was unnecessary. Now that I thought about it, living somewhere else would be more convenient for us. "We can find another house once Queenie recovers. We can leave our current house to her."

"That's what I thought as well." He yawned tiredly and pinched his brows hard, which distressed me.

To let him get some rest, I asked him to return to the dormitory. He rejected it and insisted on staying with me. I had no choice but to finish my work early. We then packed our lunch outside and headed home.

Colin was indeed tired. He had insisted on dining with me at first. However, after I pressed him to the bed, he fell asleep within five minutes.

I lay with him for a while. As I was thinking about painting, I silently got up and planned to return to Crystal House, but I accidentally woke him up.

He drew me back into his arms and asked me to stay with him, refusing to let go of me no matter what. After several struggles, I ended up being defeated by his clinginess. I could only stare at the ceiling wide- eyed to accompany him.

The fact proved that I couldn't stop my sleepiness as well. I only agreed to lie with him but fell asleep soon. When I woke up, it was already dark.

Colin was still asleep. I moved slightly and noticed he had finally loosened the hand that had clamped me. I quickly got up.

The living room was dark. There was only a yellow light in the kitchen, creating a cozy atmosphere.

Queenie and Andrew were preparing meals in the kitchen. One was washing ingredients, while the other was cutting them. They worked fairly well.

I intended to scare them but overheard their serious conversation. The topic centered around themselves.

I squatted on the ground and eavesdropped for a long time. My feet were numb from weariness.

Queenie stated she didn't intend to start a new relationship so early. She had an abortion and was three years older than Andrew. Thus, she assumed she wasn't suitable for him and asked him not to waste his time and affection on her.

Andrew was sincere and expressed his opinions plainly.

He stated he could wait till she was willing to start a new relationship with him. However, he strongly disagreed with her claims that she wasn't a good match for him due to her abortion and age.

He stated that what she had gone through would only add to his distress for her. He wouldn't despise her. Even though he hadn't gotten involved in her past, he didn't care. He only wanted her future. Queenie gave a couple more excuses to decline, but Andrew disregarded them. He then told her that regardless of what she said, he would pursue her until she agreed to be his girlfriend.

I squatted by the kitchen door for more than ten minutes. My ankles were numb as if they were being pricked with needles.

Queenie, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, refused to compromise. She was still tirelessly trying to persuade Andrew to broaden his world and find a girlfriend who was worthy of him. The implication was that she felt unworthy of him.
