Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 565

Colin noticed my mood changes and gently lifted my face to kiss my forehead. Then, he rubbed his cheek against mine and said apologetically, "Darling, don't be sad. I've saved up more than a month's vacation days. After getting the project up and running, I'll take you on a trip.

"You can take a look at some travel guides first and choose the places you want to go. We'll visit them one by one, okay?"

What a load of crap.

He said he had over a month's vacation days, but I was still in my second year of graduate school. I still had a lot of coursework to complete. How could I just take a month off to go on a romantic getaway with him?

What a ridiculous suggestion. He just wanted to upset me.

I pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "I'm not going. You can go by yourself."

"What's wrong? If there's something bothering you, you have to let me know. We'll figure things out together. Don't keep it bottled up inside, okay?"

What was there to be bothered about? It was just that he was busy all the time, leaving me wandering around the campus alone. And did he know? If his darling weren't so loyal, he would have lost his girlfriend today.

I really wanted to unload all these grievances onto him, but I also knew that he was working so hard for our future. If I were to make a fuss about it, he would be extremely tired!

Forget it. I just had to be patient.

I rubbed my nose in frustration. "Colin, don't you think we're a lot like two parallel lines?"

He couldn't understand and furrowed his brows in confusion.

"As we're always moving in parallel, we can never cross paths with each other."

It took him a moment to understand what I meant. Then, he chuckled at my annoyance. "Nonsense, what are you talking about? We're seeing each other right now, aren't we? I know you're upset, but I'll definitely make it up to you. Be good and wait for me, okay?

I noticed that he hadn't gone far when the screen of his phone lit up. He looked at it and then put it to his ear. I looked at him talking on the phone as he walked to the end of the road.

Ah, Colin was really busy. I couldn't keep bothering him like this in the future.

That was what I thought.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. Queenie and I had promised to go out and buy a wedding gift for Julia. We agreed to have Colin and Andrew accompany us and then we would go out and have fun after shopping, like a double date.

But before seven, Colin's phone rang. A student had called him with an urgent matter.

I couldn't bear to see him in a dilemma, so I pretended to be okay and waved him off. I urged him to go quickly. I could only swallow the bitterness I felt in my heart.
