Chapter 634 The One Who Had No Desire and Was Determined
Colin's smile looked playful and cheeky.
Faye looked at him and an old-time question about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to her mind, "If I fell into the water with your mother, who do you save first?"
The two looked at each other, Faye didn't think much about it and smiled, "Are you jealous?"
Colin lowered his eyes, avoided Faye's gaze deliberately, and answered with an "um". Then, he asked in a low voice, "So, who is more important in your heart?"
Faye moved her lips slightly and replied, "You."
A gloomy expression flashed on Colin's face. He didn't lift his head and asked, "Really?"
Faye explained, "All of them will eventually have someone they love by their side. My task is to take care of the one that I love."
Colin squeezed Faye's fingertips and said, "Um."
Faye could feel that Colin didn't seem right on that night.
However, she didn't think much about it and just thought that he was uncomfortable because of Tanner.
After dinner, Faye went into the bathroom to take a shower. Colin came downstairs and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to smoke.
Colin was fascinated by the night scene outside the window, and the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Colin bit on his cigarette, took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at it with his eyes narrowed.
Ethan: [Lance has returned to the Langfords.]
Colin tapped the screen with his fingertips and replied, "Got it."
Ethan: [Don't worry. Someone is watching him.]
Colin: [Andy?]
Ethan: [Um.]
Seeing Ethan's reply, Colin chuckled lightly and bit on the cigarette at the corner of his mouth. He asked, "Are you sure that Andy will keep an eye on Lance?"
Ethan: [Unless he wants Lance to die.]
Ethan's words were harsh and made Colin sneer. Colin sent a reply saying, "It's a society ruled by law. We are civilized."
Colin sent the text out, but Ethan didn't reply.
Colin stared at the phone for a while and put the phone into his pocket.
After Colin finished his cigarette, he turned around and put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the coffee table. He glanced at the lighted kitchen and said solemnly, "Cindy, there is ash around the floor-to-ceiling window."
Hearing Colin's footsteps walked away, Cindy raised her hand, patted her chest, and said to herself, "Luckily, I am smart. Otherwise, there will be another person to take over my job."
On the other side, Colin was in front of the bedroom door, but he didn't push the door open.
He was looking at the door and adjusted his mood for a while. Then, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
In the bedroom, Faye had just come out of the shower. She looked wet, standing in front of the bedside table, and bending over to look at her phone.
Colin glanced at Faye's long and fair legs under the bath towel. For the first time, he was full of urges, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
He found himself too guilty.
He didn't even have any strength to carry himself.
When Faye heard the door being pushed open and didn't hear anyone entering for a long time, she turned her head subconsciously, "Huh?"
Colin retracted his gaze and walked over to the bed. He lifted the quilt and covered himself. He closed his eyes as if he had no desire and was determined.
Faye raised her eyebrows and felt confused.
When Faye was staring at Colin, the phone in her hand made a "peep" sound.
She looked down at her phone, and a text popped up on the screen which said, "Does Colin try to kill Hugh?"
