Chapter 316 Colin's Past
A shabby coffin in the cold winter...
It was indeed a pitiful scene.
Abbot shivered vividly, gathered his coat around himself, and rolled his eyes at Colin. "See how stingy you're. You even want to order a shabby coffin for me! What can I expect you to do for me?"
Colin only smiled banteringly, not refuting his words. He turned to look at Ethan and asked, "Is Abbot telling the truth?"
Ethan raised his brows and replied, "Come on, will you believe Abbot's words?"
Colin threatened him with a nasal sound.
Ethan explained, "My grandfather did plan so, but I and that girl didn't have chemistry."
Colin asked teasingly, "I'm curious about that girl now. She has actually resisted your attraction."
Ethan snorted, "She's a dance teacher. And her boyfriend is a doctoral student."
Learning that that girl already had a boyfriend, Colin didn't take her to his heart anymore. He teased Ethan, "Your grandfather is really open-minded. He even asked you to date a girl who had a boyfriend."
Ethan replied, "She's the granddaughter of his one of his comrades-in-arms. I heard that her grandfather was not satisfied with her boyfriend."
Colin grinned unrulily. "I wonder if you're of her type, scholar Ethan."
Ethan put his hands in his pockets and smiled, not annoyed by his comment at all.
Abbot broke in when he heard Colin's words, "I heard from my grandfather that that girl is very gentle."
Ethan asked, "Do you think a man like him matches a gentle girl?"
Abbot replied honestly, "You reminded me. You two are not a good match. More precisely, you don't deserve her."
Ethan asked coldly, "What would you like on your shabby coffin? White carnations, or yellow carnations?"
Abbot replied, not frightened at all, "I prefer roses. They look more luxurious."
Ethan looked askance at Abbot and said, "Rest assured. You're my bro after all. I'll definitely satisfy you."
Then minutes later, the three men went back to the private room next door.
It was very lively in the room as they were joking and playing happily.
Colin was worried that Faye could not get accustomed to such an occasion. But now he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Though Faye was aloof, she was good at hiding her emotions.
Hence, even though she couldn't create a lively atmosphere, she could join them quietly.
She wouldn't put on airs. Instead, she would listen to them with a smile.
Colin could tell that Faye had gotten along well with them when he was out.
His friends would talk to her nicely.
"Faye, I shipped you and Colin when you two attended that variety show."
"Alas, when Faye attended that show, my grandmother didn't know she was Colin's wife and forced my father to use his connections to get her contact information."
"Haha, if Colin learns about this, he'll skin you alive."
When they were joking happily, there suddenly came a burst of coughs from the door. The next moment, Abbot teased, trying to add oil to the fire, "Seems like Colin doesn't come at the right time."
Hearing his words, everyone in the room simultaneously glanced at the door. Then the room exploded in laughter.
Colin curled up his thin lips into a smile and strode into the room. He walked to the man who had joked with Faye just now, stopped behind him, patted his shoulder, and commented in a deep voice, "Your grandmother has good taste."
Cooperative as his friend was, he pretended to be scared and straightened his back. "Colin, please don't intimidate me. I swear that I've never coveted your wife."
Colin said, "You've looked down upon me. I'm not that mean."
His friend grinned.
But the next second, Colin turned around and said to Ethan, "Ethan, throw this bastard into the river to feed fishes later."
Ethan replied calmly, "Roger."
The man was rendered speechless.
Shortly after Colin and the lot sat down, someone knocked on the door and then pushed it open. A waiter walked in and placed some other dishes on the table.
They ate and chatted, forming a lively scene. After a short while, they stood up and toasted Colin one by one.
Before he could finish the words, the man sitting next to him landed a kick on his leg.
Owen lost his balance and almost fell from the chair. He immediately sobered up.
"Colin." The man called out Colin's name nervously after maintaining his balance.
Colin glanced at him and said with a fake smile, "Nothing. You may go on."
After finishing the words, Colin put the fish onto Faye's plate. He had removed all the bones in it.
Faye tilted her head to look at Colin and said with a smile, "Sounds like you have many entertainments at your birthday party last year."
Colin's hands which were holding the cutleries paused in the air. He looked into Faye's eyes.
Faye continued, "I'm not angry."
Colin squeezed out two words with difficulty, "I know."
It was difficult to tell if Colin was angry or not from his expression. The man who had had a slip of tongue was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
With this incident, no one dared to talk nonsense again.
When the party was coming to an end, Faye stood up and walked to the checkout counter to pay the bill.
The cashier asked confusedly, "Didn't Mr. Hawkins say it's chargeable to him?"
Faye replied blandly, "It doesn't matter. I'll explain this to him."
Faye walked back after paying the bill. But just as she had taken several steps, she saw Colin in the corridor.
Two buttons of his black shirt had been unclasped, making him look undisciplined.
When their eyes met, Colin's eyes turned intense.
Faye noticed the complicated emotions surging in his eyes. She curled up her lips into a smile, walked to him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Colin called her in a husky voice, "Darling."
Faye asked, "Do you have other activities for tonight? Would you like to go to the company?"
