The bath lasted for a long time until Colin knocked on the door. "What took you so long? You're drowning to death, aren't you? Aren't you hungry? "
Colin's words were so ungraceful that Melissa opened her eyes slowly and stared at the bathroom door, which was full of steam. In fact, she was about to fall asleep. She had been very hungry just now, but she had gotten used to it when she was hungry. Perhaps the sugar in her body had been disintegrated with protein, which helped to offset the degree of hunger. Therefore, she felt nothing when she had been soaked in hot water.
But she was indeed in the bathtub for a long time, and it was time for her to get up. So Melissa got out of the bathtub, wiped her hair with a towel, and picked out a clean bag, wrapped it around her body and walked out.
As he walked out of the room, Colin was not in the room. The clothes were neatly folded on the bed. Melissa went to pick them up. They were women's clothes, full of skirt and underwear. They were all new, but all fitted her body.
Melissa didn't care whether those were bought personally by Colin or by someone else, but it must have been done by him in person, because only he knew her figure and her favorite color and preferences.
'Should I be happy?' Melissa thought. Not only did Colin prepare clothes for her like a servant, but he also knew her well. But she just sneered and got dressed then went downstairs without saying anything.
Colin had been waiting for her at the table and was eager to eat soup. It seemed that he was even more hungry than her. Candy was pouring food for them. When she saw Melissa, she greeted her warmly, "good morning, Miss Melissa. Come and have a seat. The dinner is ready."
As Candy spoke, Colin reached for a seat next to him and said, "sit by my side. Candy cooks well, I'm sure you'll like them."
Candy giggled, ladled a bowl of rice and put it on the table. "Enjoy yourself," she said Then she walked away, leaving them alone.
Melissa sat down on the chair Colin held for her, and ate quietly, as if she didn't want to talk about anything. On the dinner table, no matter what Colin told her, she was always lukewarm towards him. Sometimes, she responded, sometimes, she completely silent. Colin seemed to be very patient today, even if she was so cold, he was not angry and did not scold her. He was still teasing her with a smile.
After lunch, Melissa looked at her watch and finally said, "I should go back now. It's getting dark."
But Colin caught her hand, "what's the hurry? I've told you to stay with me tonight! "
Looking at him, Melissa opened her mouth and wanted to retort. Hearing that, Colin raised his hand and swore, "I swear I won't touch you tonight. I have to rest too. How can I have energy all the time?"
Hearing that, Melissa's face turned cold all of a sudden. She was not happy at all because of Colin's arrogant words or because of his deliberate provocation. At the same time, she said coldly, "Colin, why do you want me to stay? sleep in the same bed but dream different dreams? What can I say to you? "
Hearing that, a faint smile played at the corners of Colin's mouth. He said, "why won't we talk? As long as you stay here, I will take care of you. At least, you will stay here until tomorrow."
Colin was outraged. He smashed the spoon on the table, and spat, "you are not allowed to leave tonight without my orders! Or if you have the ability to walk back, I won't drive you. Your driver doesn't dare to drive you without my instructions. Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is a suburb far from the city. And the rich area is always connected with private cars and no taxi. And the rich area, well, outside at night, there are robbers everywhere. A beauty like you may be robbed. Public order can't compete with the thief's desire. Good luck! " Then he went upstairs.
Hearing that, Melissa turned around, gritted her teeth and said, "you... You did that on purpose! "
But Colin ignored her and went upstairs.
Later, Melissa could do nothing but throw away her purse and angrily sat on the sofa.
But she was getting more and more confused. Since he didn't like her, why should he make her stay? Torture her? He had indeed tortured her a lot, but this time it was very unusual. He even began to reason with her for falling in love. He also wanted to let her think that their way of getting along was to be in love.
Did Colin always considered their five years together to be a relationship? Did he always think that they were in a relationship?
Melissa found herself couldn't understand Colin more and more. He didn't love her, forced her to give up, and made her promise that she wouldn't fall in love with him. But then he told her that they were like in a relationship, gave her illusions. It was so inconsistent. What did Colin want?
