Chapter 22 Looking For Me?
However, Cynthia soon found her place. It was not the place that was closest to Brian’s side. That was Quinn’s spot
Cynthia never threw a pity party for herself. Besides, this was good for Brian. She was even more willing to make it happen.
Therefore, be kept her eyes on the biggest potential trouble at the dinner that night–Colin
Colin probably could not even remember when was the last time he had come home. Something must have been up when things went against the norm. Even Quinn was feeling suspicious, so Cynthia’s guard was up as well
The people who came that day were either relatives or close friends of the Jenkins family. They all knew about Brian and Colin’s relationship all these years.
Soon, the guests formed into two camps, with Colin and Brian in the center.
Cynthia counted carefully and found that there were two more people in Colin’s corner. If she were to put herself in Brian’s camp, Colin would still outnumber them by one. They were supposed to be there to celebrate Brian’s engagement that day. However, at that moment, it looked more like they were there to welcome Colin home instead. Cynthia grabbed a white rose from the vase and removed a thom angrily.
It would have been great if Zoey had insisted on going to the hospital earlier. If she did, Cynthia could have gotten down on her hands and knees or just shamelessly made Collin leave along with her.
“What are you thinking about? Colin appeared next to her like a ghost
Cynthia shrugged sheepishly, and her finger brushed against a thorn. A small drop of blood instantly apprated “Nothing,” she replied stiftly.
Colin narrowed his eyes and asked, “Haying a trick by taking an injury again?
Cynthia frowned. She wanted to rebuke, but she knew she was in the wrong. The fact that he used the word “again” was incredibly unpleasant to the ears.
It turned out that Colin already knew that Zoey was just putting on an act
Cynthia realized she could not be near him too much, so she put the flower back into the vase and left.
When it was time for dinner, everyone had taken their seats, but Colin was nowhere to be found. Brian had someone go and look for him.
Cynthia craned her neck to search for him as well. She should have never let him out of her sight. Colin left all the guests waiting for him. He was clearly trying to embarrass Brian.
What a despicable and unoriginal trick.
Cynthia got up and said to Brian, “I’ll go look for him,”
Before Brian said anything, she had already lett to search for Colin
