Kiss me tender novel Chapter 40

"Good!" Colin gazed at her for a long time and then gritted his teeth with saying, "I'll be relieved if you have this thought."

Nobody had no idea whether Colin said those words sincerely or against his heart. But he was heartbroken and mad at the thought of it to speak this words.

Hearing his words, Melissa sneered, "What are you worrying about?" Or what are you worried about? "Are you worried that I will badger you like those women outside?"

Colin didn't reply, but stared at her. The look in his eyes was quiet and deep and cold, which contained a lot of emotions.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Melissa said, "Then you can rest assured. I still have dignity." Then she turned her back to him and went on sleeping, as if she didn't want to face him.

Hearing that, Colin was frozen on the spot. He didn't know whether to hug her or let her leave his arms, or to turn her back against him. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Don't you want me to make you popular?" "Don't you want to use such a big backstage?"

Hearing this, Melissa opened her eyes again, but she didn't turn back. "I'm a person with integrity, not to mention that I never intended to use your power from the beginning. The price is too high. I won't have the guts to touch it again."

"So do you want to struggle for yourself?"

After a long pause, Melissa replied, "No matter how successful I am, I won't get in the way of your power or influence. I'll be grateful as long as you, known as Colin, don't trouble me!" "We will be apart next month. I hope you can show mercy and don't cause any trouble to me. I really appreciate it, Mr. Colin!"

Hearing that, Colin didn't reply. He slowly withdrew his hand from her and lay down behind her. They fell asleep, each with something on their minds.

But Melissa couldn't fall asleep. With her back to him, she opened her eyes. Colin lay behind her, resting his arms on his head and staring at the ceiling.

After a long time, as Melissa stared at the wall and felt tired, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Then Colin abruptly turned over and she woke up again. She found Colin get up from bed. Colin put on his pajamas and walked to the window. He opened the curtain and looked at the view outside through the French window.

The whole room of Colin was spacious. There was ceiling window right outside the bed. He pulled the curtain open and the dim moonlight poured in. It landed on the wall in front of Melissa. And Melissa gazed at her own shadow on the wall, motionless.

After a while, she heard the crack of Colin's lighter. Then the room was full of the smoke. The smell of cigarettes pervaded in the night and there was an indescribable sense of decadence and loneliness.

Melissa wanted to get over to Colin, but she didn't dare to do so. She had been pretending to be asleep. If she suddenly woke up, what could she say to him? Nothing else, didn't she? She had just made it clear to him that they will go their separate ways after the contract was over. She wouldn't use his power and she also hoped he wouldn't affect me anymore. At that time, they would be as good as each other.
