Chapter 429 An Intimate Relationship Happened
Colton glanced at her indifferently, and there was not much expression on his face. It was only after a few minutes that he finally replied, “Okay.” Queenie had never expected such a response, and this left her confused. She was expecting Colton to be furious, but he was so calm, and there was not an ounce of anger on his face.
Queenie glanced at him carefully to make sure that he was really not furious. But to be sure, she asked again, “Colton, are you really not angry?”
He merely looked at her, and instead of responding to her question, he talked about something else. “Have a good rest, and then leave the Gardner Residence.” She could not hide the trace of sadness from her face at that instant. She turned around and started sobbing, and when she looked at him again, her expression was one of grievance. “Colton, I really love you. Didn’t you already promise to be with me? We can continue to be together.”
When Colton heard her reply, he was appalled. Then, he squinted his eyes and looked at her. It didn’t take him long to come to a realization that Queenie must have thought that he had slept with her. As this thought flashed across his mind, he sneered in his heart and could not be bothered to clarify. Therefore, he merely replied, “You are not worthy.”
Queenie immediately started wailing, and she could no longer hide the sadness on her face. She cried hysterically, “I really like you! And I drugged you because I like you! I have liked you for five years. I—”
At that point, Colton lost his patience and interrupted her, “Enough!” He narrowed his eyes, which were as calm as a pool of stagnant water—no turbulence could be seen.
“F*ck off, or else you’ll know my wrath when I regret my benevolence.” Queenie was so frightened by his words that she instantly shut her mouth and stayed quiet while biting her lips, looking at him like an injured animal. She was banking on her act to arouse a trace of pity from him. Regrettably, he was unbothered by it as he left without much fanfare.
As she looked at his retreating back, her sad expression instantly changed to a triumphant smile. She knew that the drug was potent, and had he not settled his sexual desire with her in that instant, his life would be in danger. Although Nicole stopped her at first and knowing Nicole’s temperament, she could bet with her life that Nicole would definitely not be willing to get in bed with Colton.
Anyway, the exhaustion she felt was the best proof that Colton had indeed spent the night with her. Now that she had a child in her womb, she could successfully marry Colton and be Gardner’s future in-law. As for Bryan, well, he would not be able to lay a finger on her as long as she was one of the Gardners.
…
It was already midnight when Queenie returned home. Lydia was sitting on the couch, staring at the door all night, waiting for her daughter. As soon as Lydia saw her, the worry she had finally had an outlet. She stepped forward quickly and pulled Queenie over as she gave her daughter a concerned once over. “Are you all right?”
Queenie had some difficulty walking properly, so she changed her heels to a pair of flat shoes. She walked to the couch tremblingly and sat down. Only then did she look at Lydia and give her a firm nod. “I’m fine, Mom. Don’t worry.”
Yet, perhaps it was a mother’s intuition as Lydia felt Queenie was not telling the truth. Thus, she frowned and continued asking, “You look pale. You’re clearly not fine.”
Queenie knew that she probably didn’t look too well. After all, she was in bed with Colton for quite some time. “I’m fine, Mom, really. I was just with Colton, so I feel slightly exhausted.” As she said that, she looked as if she was a girl in love.
Lydia was shocked when she heard that her daughter had spent the night with Colton, so she had to ask again just to be sure, “Queenie, what are you talking about? So, you’re saying you were with Colton…”
Queenie could no longer hide her shyness; as she caressed her belly. “That’s correct. Colton and I got intimate.” Lydia was in disbelief when she heard that; one could not blame her. Colton and Queenie had been together for five years and had never been intimate. Yet, now that they were separated, they finally got into bed together?
