Kiss me tender novel Chapter 16

In the meal, Colin's performance was satisfying. But Melissa believed that there was a conspiracy. Otherwise, why was he treating her so well?

She thought that her parents wouldn't be aware of it. But after dinner, Paul and Colin were chatting in the living room. Jenny suddenly asked Melissa to sit aside and talk. Jenny said, "Melissa, tell me the truth. Is Colin your boyfriend or not?"

Shocked and nervous, Melissa said, "Mom…… What are you talking about? " She didn't know what her mother meant by saying that. Did she find out anything?

Jenny stared at her as if she wanted to break her lies. She forced her to be honest, "Melissa, if you were really a girlfriend of him, you would not have behaved so restrained just now. Obviously, he was very good to you, but you were not used to it and even felt a little uncomfortable. So what's the relationship between you and him? And why did he come to our house? "

Melissa said, "Mom…… You are really thinking too much…… I and he…… He is my lover! "

"If he is your boyfriend, why are you so reserved with him? Besides, if he is your boyfriend, did he help our family? "

Melissa nodded, "Yes!"

Jenny said sharply, "Mommy and Daddy are familiar with that, especially your daddy. He is good at judging people. Melissa, we have watched you grow up. We know exactly what kind of thing you have met, right? If you really have something, we will know that. Colin's identity is not simple, right? As for you and him, I'm afraid you have suffered more. "

"Mom..." Melissa called her, but she couldn't say any words to defend her in her intense gaze. So, she lowered her head. Melissa didn't know how to answer her mother's question, but she had been flinching. Did they really see through how they disguised their parents?

Jenny said, "You have suffered a lot in these years when we lost fame and money. But Melissa, people have self-esteem, especially our daughter. No matter what happens at home, we don't want you to suffer hardships and we even don't want you to do anything…… It's about dignity. We would rather starve to death than watch our daughter abuse herself... "

"Mom!" Melissa was hit by Jenny's words and she didn't want to let them know about her own affairs, so she retorted, "Mom, you think too much. I didn't do anything wrong."

"I know that you don't want me and your father to get involved in this matter, but you have to let us rest assured. Melissa, we worry about you. Besides, Colin is not a simple man. Do he really love you even though he is your boyfriend? Will he treat you well? Will you be happy if he just treats you casually for fun? If what you do is only for us, we will be very guilt. You know your father's temper. If he knows anything, he would rather starve to death than let you be bullied! "

"Mom..." As Melissa snapped at her, she felt Jenny thought too much. In order to stop her, she said with gritting teeth, "Colin loves me and he won't play with me. Didn't you behave well at the dinner? If he doesn't love me, why do he come to our home? "

Melissa had no choice but to make up an excuse in this situation. Although she knew that it was unrealistic to talk about those matters. It was clear that Colin wouldn't fall in love with her. He were just having fun. The one he loved in his heart was Avril. She had made a deal with Colin! To set her mother's mind at rest, she had made up an excuse.
