Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 483

Colin pinched my back to silence me before I could retaliate. Then, he replied politely, "Lulu is my girlfriend. You saved my life, so I'm sure she doesn't mind helping you."

"Your girlfriend?" Jasmine lifted her head to scrutinize me. Then, she looked down and mumbled the word "girlfriend" to herself incredulously, or perhaps, resentfully. "Colin, didn't you tell me back then that you regarded her as a younger sister?"

Colin tilted his head and chuckled. His slender fingers tucked a lock of hair behind my ears, and he caressed my cheek with his knuckles. Affection oozed from his gesture. "Back then, yes. To be more precise, I was trying to get closer to her to ask her out.

"When I was six, I swore I would marry her. Therefore, she'll be my wife. My only wife."

As Colin uttered those words, the formality and politeness in his tone gave way to tenderness and affection. He looked at me with doting eyes until I blushed and my heart fluttered.

I pouted and shot eye daggers at Colin. Why was he flirting with me in front of everyone? I knew he loved me a lot. But he should read the room!

Colin ruffled my hair. He used his actions to tell everyone that he wanted to pamper and spoil me.

Jasmine's expression darkened after hearing what Colin said. Her eyes turned glossy. She hid the sadness within her and put up a brave front. "We haven't seen each other for years, and I see you've found yourself a girlfriend. Congratulations, Colin."

I was puzzled by Jasmine's seemingly calm congratulations, but she soon bore her fangs. "I'm surprised that the pride of Lincoln University lives in such a small apartment. You must be a humble and modest person.

"Oh, Luna. You're still studying, aren't you? I heard it's expensive to live in Jinovy. Fortunately, Colin earns enough to get that covered."

What a load of bullcrap.

She was trying to say that I was a student who wasn't financially independent. Therefore, I had to rely on Colin. She could have told me that right away. There was no need to beat about the bush. Wasn't it tiring to speak in this indirect way?
