Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband
Chapter 1202 Same As You
Lucy's brows knitted together, puzzled by Mandy's unexpected remarks. "And...?" she prompted, unsure where Mandy was going with this.

"After everything, you're not going to abandon him, are you?" Mandy asked earnestly.

"He obviously has your best interest at heart. He's the kind of man who will treat you well till the end of your days," Mandy continued.

"If you break his heart, it would devastate him. It'll be hard for you to find someone as wonderful as him," Mandy added solemnly.

Lucy nearly choked on the water she was drinking, caught off guard by Mandy's words.

"Why are you suddenly vouching for Colin?" Lucy asked, her suspicion evident in her tone.

"Mandy, you've been bickering with Colin almost every day. Why are you trying to set us up all of a sudden?" Lucy pressed further.

"Could it be that you harbor feelings for Colin?" Lucy added bluntly.

Mandy's face flushed red, averting her gaze so that Lucy did not peer into her true feelings. "I..." Her voice faltered momentarily.

"I don't!" Mandy insisted, her denial tinged with a hint of urgency. She pushed aside her embarrassment, forcing a smile as she met Lucy's eyes. "I was just worried for your future, that's it."

Lucy placed her cup down with deliberate calmness. "I'm aware that Colin is a good person."

"But precisely because he's a good person, I don't want to be a hindrance to him."

"I've never had feelings for him in the past, and I won't develop any in the future," Lucy added firmly, trying to convey her sincerity.

Observing Lucy's unwavering resolve, Mandy hesitated to continue with what she had intended to say.

Mandy stole a glance at Colin, his focus unwavering as he meticulously arranged cameras on the second floor. A surge of conflicting emotions churned within her.

He was more than just Colin to her; he was CloudySkies, her beloved comic artist from childhood. The one whose creations had filled her with wonder and joy.

But he was also the steadfast pillar in her best friend's life, someone who had shown unwavering loyalty and dedication, ready to protect and support her friend through thick and thin.

Closing her eyes briefly, Mandy felt the weight of her thoughts settle upon her.

From her seat opposite Mandy, Lucy watched her friend with a knowing smile that danced upon her lips.

Whenever Colin's name surfaced in their conversations, Lucy couldn't help but notice the gentle softening of Mandy's eyes. It was a telltale sign, one that hinted at more than mere admiration.

It was clear to Lucy that Mandy harbored a subtle crush on Colin. Yet paradoxically, Mandy seemed intent on nudging Colin closer to Lucy, as if orchestrating their paths to intertwine.
