Winston was standing a few steps in front of me when he said that.
He had a perfect appearance and a bright smile. He appeared to have accomplished something.
His gaze was like an eagle's when it saw its prey, with a glimmer of determination.
I couldn't help but wonder whether I did something wrong or said something ambiguous that caused him to misunderstand me. Why did he look at me that way?
When I reached the gate, I noticed the delivery man on a motorcycle was about to call me. After signing, I brought the takeout upstairs.
Queenie came out of the room when she heard me open the door. After she helped me place the food, I realized the house was quiet. It turned out Andrew hadn't come over.
During this period, I felt as if he were living in my house, and his presence was particularly loud. It was as if something was missing when he was absent, which made me uncomfortable.
Habit was quite scary.
"Where's Andrew?" I asked casually.
Queenie paused. "I don't know."
"How dare he not come without asking your permission? Your clingy boy is so disorganized." I teased her.
I only said it casually, yet she smiled self-deprecatingly. "We're just colleagues. Do you still want him to take care of me for the rest of my life? It's difficult for me to repay his kindness. It would be better if he didn't come. I can't bear to owe him anything. Let's eat now. It won't taste good if it's cold."
She started drinking the soup silently, but I couldn't get past the loneliness in her eyes.
Andrew's meticulousness and patience allowed him to enter Queenie's life successfully. Although he was far from being her boyfriend, she had already permitted him to stay by her side, implying that he still had a good chance of succeeding.
However, he suddenly disappeared. What happened to him? Was he going to become a scumbag? It couldn't be.
