Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 653

Jasmine thought everyone in this world was like her—that they would go to extreme lengths for money, fame, and glory. But Colin wasn't like her. He held different values. What she was doing only made him detest her more.

And he was visibly angered by what she had said. I studied Colin's reaction carefully, afraid that he would get carried away by wrath and make a scene. I couldn't care less if people gossiped about his outburst, but I'd hate to see it ruin Jasmine's party.

Jasmine had spent a fortune to organize this party. Most importantly, I hadn't given her my gift yet. I couldn't wait to see her reaction once she received my gift. I could only hope she wouldn't turn crazy.

And as I predicted, Colin was furious. He had always been a reserved person in front of everyone else—he barely showed his emotions. His rage, joy, jealousy, and worries only appeared when he was with me.

I once asked him why he was so aloof toward everyone. He kissed the tip of my nose and said that his emotions came from his heart and that his heart belonged to me. Since he wouldn't get too emotionally attached to anyone else, he was withdrawn toward them. Hearing that made me happy for a long time.

Unfortunately for Jasmine, her lack of emotional intelligence had truly riled Colin up. She implied that he was successful because of her. As reserved as he was, he couldn't stand it. No other men could stand it.
