Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 407

With my focus on the painting, I quickly forgot about the presence of the man and woman outside, providing them with a perfect opportunity to talk.

It wasn't until I received a video call from Colin that I realized it was already dark outside. My stomach was growling too.

Rubbing my empty belly, I opened the bedroom door while speaking, only to find that the two people outside were gone. Did they already... That was impossible. That wasn't how Queenie rolled.

Stepping outside, I realized I had misinterpreted the situation when I saw them busy in the kitchen.

The light cast upon them painted the illustration that they were a couple in love. The atmosphere was harmonious, reflecting the tranquility of time.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Colin squinted through the screen but didn't notice anything unusual.

Colin looked thinner, and he didn't look too good. But he was in good spirits.

"You've grown tanner and thinner, Colin. Have you been eating well?" I asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. The school has a teaching support program, and I'd go to the mountains to teach the children there during the holidays. Their teacher has appendicitis and has to undergo surgery, so I'm substituting for him until he recovers.

"The conditions in the mountains are tough, so I've just gotten a bit tanned." Colin brushed off the topic.

I retreated to the room, continuing to chat with Colin.

"Oh, do you want me to send you a sun hat? Sunburns can be quite painful," I offered.

"A grown man doesn't need a sun hat. A little tan won't hurt. What did you have for dinner?" Colin changed the subject.

"Haha, Queenie and her future boyfriend are cooking. I don't know what they're making since I don't want to disturb their private time." I giggled.

Colin paused and seemed surprised. "Queenie has a new boyfriend?"

I could tell that he was surprised to learn of the news considering it had only been a few days.
