Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 581

In the afternoon, he texted me and told me to put my mind at ease as Jasmine had sent the bracelet to him.

I felt better, but I would never wear what Jasmine had worn. I asked Colin what he was going to do with it, and he told me he might give it to his mother. That was a good idea.

I wasn't someone petty, and Colin thought he had done everything to punish Jasmine. We decided to turn over a new page. I could only hope that Jasmine had learned her lesson and would stop devising another vicious plan.

…

Time flew, and it was the end of September. Plane tickets were in high demand during the holiday season, so Queenie and I bought return tickets to Harveyton in advance.

Dad and Mom weren't thrilled when they heard that I wasn't coming back. They complained that I had grown up and abandoned them. Especially Mom, who found a handkerchief and began using it to wipe her teary eyes. She protested that I had forgotten about my roots and only cared about having fun.

I could only console and coddle them like they were two babies. In the end, Mom finally agreed to let me fly to Harveyton for the wedding ceremony.

Colin was furious too when he learned that I couldn't keep him company during the semester break. I had to keep comforting him to calm him down. Colin lamented that we were like a seafaring couple, where the husband often left the wife for months before coming back for a few days.

Indeed, my relationship with Colin was not like any other couple I knew. We stayed together, but we spent more time apart than with each other. Calling us a seafaring couple wouldn't be too far off the truth.

I'd love to spend more time with him, of course. But being an adult meant that one often had no choice. We could no longer do whatever our hearts desired. That applied to everyone.
