Chapter 18 Nervous
Cynthia looked past Colin, trying to see if it was Brian’s car. Did she mishear it? That could not be right
As she was distracted, Colin bent down a little and took away the grapes in her hand in one tell swoop.
Cynthis saw him throwing the grape into his mouth.
Then, he frowned, looking disgusted. “Open up,” he said.
Cynthia took a step back, looking at him with her guard up.
Those were not meant for him anyway. He brought it on himself if they were too sour
Cynthia turned around and ran back into the kitchen
“Stop right there,” Colin quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He had the grape in between his fingers. He did not repeat himself, but his intention was clear.
Cynthia glanced around nervously, fearing that someone else would see them. She could not break herself free even if she tried, so she reached out her hand to grab the grape. “I’I do it my-
n stuffed the grape into her mouth.
Cynthia bit into the grape, spraving two drops of juice on the back of Colin’s hand. He frowned a little. Then, he let go of her and took a step back, shaking his hand.
She tasted the sweetness in her mouth, and she quickly covered her mouth, glaring at the culprit in front of her.
“Is it nice” Colin glanced around casually. There were no paper towels near him, so he rubbed the sticky grape juice on her face.
“Don’t move,” he said.
Cynthia swallowed the grape, slapping Colin’s hand away. “You’re so annoying!!
She did not wish to spend another second with him anymore after she said that
“I realized something,” Colin said casually behind her. It was as if he was truly so bored that he had to kill time. Then, he continued, “It is a little fun to bully you.” Cynthia turned around angrily. At that moment, the sound of a car engine could be beard coming from the front yard. It was Brian.
The thought of her mistaking Colin for Brian and wasting the grapes on the wrong person made Cynthia feel frustrated.
She walked past Colin and moved to the entrance in big strides. She heard a mocking somer, but she ignored it. She pulled herself together and called out, “Belan ” Quinn had come with Brian. She was wearing a luxurious suit from the latest designer collection. She was so well–dressed that her earrings and heels were in the same color scheme.
The person who was even more dressed up than Quinn was Belan, who was holding her hand. Both of them looked like they were a match made in heaven.
Brian was as gentle to Cynthia as always, and he said with a smile, “Cym, you’re back early.”
“Mm–hmmm,” Cynthia answered
Quinn was young and beautiful. She was not that much older than Cynthia. She was elegant and exuded an air like she was Cynthia’s elder.
Cynthia avoided her gaze and said with a friendly smile, “Do you have anything that you need help carrying?
“No, Cyn,” replied Quinn
Cynthia did not wish to be nervous. She smiled and said, “Alright, then come on in
“You don’t have to stand at the door to wait for me every time,” said Brian
Just as Cynthia was about to say something, Quinn asked curiously, “Does Cynthia often wait for you like this? You’re already used to it” Brian smiled and looked at Cynthia gently, who was in a daze at the side.
The answer was clear
“Let’s head inside,” said Brian.
Then, he asked, “I saw Colin’s car. is here, too?
Chithi nodded
“I thought Calin wouldn’t be interested,” said Quinn
“Who said so?” Colin’s Lazy voice sounded from the couch. He was reclining on it with his feet kicked u
- up.
There was a brief moment of silence.
“Cynthia,” Colin suddenly called out.
Cynthia
ckly looked at him. An alarm went off in her head.
Colin was far away, but he saw her instinctive response. He laughed, feeling amused. “Why are you so nervous? Why didn’t you greet your future sister–in–law?
