Chapter 72
“Repay what? How would I repay him?” I retorted in annoyance.
“In this world, besides offering yourself, any other way of repaying seems pale in comparison.”
“Shut up. He’s practically my older brother.”
“Right. Are you sure he’s not your lover? Luna, this type of ‘brother–sister‘ relationship is most likely to
develop into something deeper.”
I seemed to h
hear a muffled laughter from Colin. Annoyed and embarrassed, I kicked Queenie in the leg.
Why was her mind so dirty?
*He watched me grow up and changed my diapers. ‘Offering myself is never going to happen between
me and Colin. It can be with any guy on this earth but him.”
“What, he changed your diapers? Doesn’t that mean you’ve been…”
Before Queenie could finish her words, I went up and gave her a resentful kick. If I had known about this
conversation back then, I would have never let him change my diapers.
“Queenie, shut your mouth. If you keep blabbering, you won’t get to eat later.”
At last, Queenie reluctantly kept quiet for the sake of food. Instead, she resorted to using her eyes and
gestures to torment me, constantly hinting at me to make a move. I was so infuriated that I wanted to
break her legs.
The food street was unlike an upscale restaurant; it had a row of stalls on the roadside. Colin picked a
clean spot for us to sit, handed us the menus, and then went to make a phone call.
Before long, a few guys arrived to join our table, all of them sweating. They were familiar faces I had seen
many times before.
When they noticed Queenie and me, their eyes lit up. One of them was Flynn Hayes, a lanky guy who
silently sat next to Queenie. He casually put his head over and began to discuss the menu with her.
I pondered for a while, feeling something was going on between them. One was very initiative, while the
other was a little indifferent. It was rather intriguing.
The food arrived quickly, with chicken wraps, lamb and beef skewers, loaded fries, and pizzas all piled on
a large white steel tray. The wonderful smell made my mouth water immediately. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
It was so fragrant that I stopped observing Queenie and Flynn. I grabbed a handful of loaded fries and
stuffed them into my mouth. The flavors exploded, making me want to scream in glee.
Colin, seeing my greedy expression, indulgently smiled and picked out a few skewers for me. He put
them separately on a small plate to cool before handing me a cup of freshly poured orange juice. “Slow
down, there’s plenty. Have some orange juice.”
With both hands occupied with skewers, I didn’t take the cup. Instead, I drank a few sips directly from
Colin’s outstretched hand.
“Yo, when did Colt become so considerate? Why aren’t you kicking her out like you did last time with that
beautiful chick?”
It was said that alcohol could boost courage. After a few glasses of beer, the guys who usually followed
Colin around suddenly dared to tease him.
Normally, I wouldn’t participate and would only watch them banter among themselves. But this time, I
was interested in the topic they were talking about.
I couldn’t believe that the elegant and gentle Colin would kick someone, let alone a girl. Whoever that girl
was, she must be special to be able to anger Colin.
But on second thought, not only would Colin kick people but also throw punches at them, just like he did
with Shawn earlier.
It was cool when Colin dealt with a guy, but kicking a girl. It didn’t sound nice.
Colin wasn’t that indiscreet. There had to be a reason why he did that.
