Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 401

Colin felt sorry for me. He reached out his hand, wanting to hug me. However, we were not just separated by two screens; we were thousands of miles away.

He extended his fingers to wipe away my tears on the screen and tried to reassure me softly. He asked me to wait for him patiently and that he would be back soon.

But I knew it was all empty words. "Soon" was still two months away; it wasn't going to be a day earlier. Moreover, two months was only an estimate. If he could not return in time, there was no telling when we would reunite.

We had just started dating, and now he was off to a distant place. How was I supposed to survive alone?

I cried uncontrollably, as though I could already foresee his apologetic announcement. Our separation would be prolonged indefinitely, with no end in sight.

At that time, I was merely speculating. Little did I know, my predictions came true. I loathed how my negative forecasts always turned out to be true.

…

Queenie was one of the top students at Lincoln University among her peers. The school had a good reputation, and she graduated with flying colors. After a brief search, she landed a job she liked at a foreign trade company not far from Jinovy.

She was a language whiz, fluent in Eshton, Flingon, and Gurbit. She was also self-taught in Koproan and Sebern, though not as proficient. At the company, she handled communication with foreign clients.

If she performed well during the three-month trial period, she could join the translation team as a professional translator.

On the day Queenie passed her interview, it was the first time I saw her smile so happily. She said that she had always dreamed of being a diplomat since she was a child. Since she wasn't able to be a diplomat, becoming a translator was the next best thing.

Every day, it pained my heart to hear Queenie quietly cry under the covers for almost half the night. I felt utterly powerless and heartbroken.

Sometimes, I contemplated confronting Flynn to ask if he was truly so heartless. How could he disregard the years of love they shared? Why was he willing to settle for a shameful marriage just for the sake of his family's interests?

Since Queenie didn't question Flynn, I felt it was inappropriate for me to do so. Moreover, I was worried that my interference might disrupt the peace that Queenie had finally found.

Queenie's mood was becoming calmer day by day. However, she was still noticeably fragile and thin. I couldn't see the wounds in her heart, but it seemed to me that she was slowly accepting the reality of life without Flynn. She was starting to embrace the idea of living a new life.

One day, Queenie would be able to forget all her unhappy past and find solace in someone who would mend her broken heart.
