Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 571

"Then just bear with it for a while. You like Crystal House, don't you? If you buy a house now, you have to renovate it, furnish it, and air it. That takes a long time. You can't stop painting for a year, can you? And I like that we're living together. Living alone is so boring."

I'd love that too. But the issue was Colin.

"What do you mean you're living alone? You have me. I'll always keep you company. I won't abandon you." Andrew seized the opportunity and confessed his love. His frizzy hair pressed against Queenie's shoulder like a cat asking for pets.

I was vexed. Look at the confession and the blatant public display of affection. How was I supposed to eat like this?

Queenie rolled her eyes and sneered, "If men can be trusted, pigs will fly."

I laughed out loud. What was that? Also, did I hear it correctly? Why did it sound like she was complaining about Andrew's sudden disappearance?

I thought Andrew would start defending himself passionately and apologize sincerely about his sudden disappearance. I assumed he would pull the whole theatrics until Queenie relented and trusted him once more.

To my surprise, he didn't explain anything. He looked at Queenie and smiled contentedly. Then, he added some veggies to her plate. "Veggies have minerals. Eat more."

As her friend, I was happy to see the change in Queenie. The pain from her past was slowly fading. Her heart had opened up to someone else. Well done, Queenie.

And with our help, Andrew was finally seen by Queenie. Right when I was almost moved to tears, the door flung wide open and Colin walked in. He looked tired. To finish his project as soon as possible, he had been waking up early and sleeping late. The lack of sleep finally took its toll.

I quickly jogged to the door and dragged him in with his hand. I plopped him down next to the dining table and filled his bowl with chowder. "Try the chowder, Colin. It's very delicious."

Queenie and Andrew greeted Colin, and he nodded politely in response. He drank from the bowl and said, "It is quite delicious."
