Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 505

To hone my talent, I spent more time learning new things than drawing two years ago. I took in everything and applied it to my drawing technique. That was how I recreated Tudor aesthetics in Dreamlight. Professor King commended my work. Even Colin, who seldom praised me, showed some appreciation too. I was elated because my hard work paid off.

After breakfast, Colin said that he needed to handle the schoolwork that was piling up. I needed to head to Crystal House too. I hadn't been there for several days, so my progress was behind. Both buildings were on campus, so we left together.

However, Crystal House and Colin's office were in two opposite directions. We stood by the crossroad and bade each other farewell.

Since we were in public, Colin, as the artsy hotshot lecturer of the campus, suppressed his urge to kiss me. Instead, he patted my head and said goodbye.

"Wait, Colin. I want to talk to you," I called out, realizing that I hadn't told him the words in my mind.

He turned around and addressed me with a smile, "Missing me already? Do you wanna ask if we can have lunch together?"

I grinned. While that was important, telling him my piece was the priority.

"Colin, what happened last night should tell you that Jasmine came to take you away from me. You never told me what happened during the mudslide or how she saved you.

"But I believe that people are kind, and I don't want to speculate whether or not Jasmine will one day forsake her moral principles to steal you."

I lifted my head and gazed at his perfect visage. "What I mean to say is, I'm a very simple person. Once I decide to pursue or give up on something, I won't change my mind. Just like Felix. When I chose him, I dedicated 18 years to him. If I choose you, I'll dedicate my life to you.

"Regardless if we're rich or poor, I won't do you wrong in my life. I don't ask for a lot. I want to make a family of three where everyone loves each other deeply. But before that, I want pure love. I can tell you very clearly now that I'm in love with you.

"Jasmine saved your life, and I'm grateful to her. I'm willing to look after her too. But you... I can't give you to her. If you show the smallest sign of falling for her, I'll let you go... Forever. So please, Colin, don't let me down."

Colin stared at me with his beautiful eyes. There was nothing at first. But slowly, joy and love filled his orbs. His grin grew wider and wider. "Thank you for choosing me, babe. I'll make your wish come true because that's also my wish in this life. You said you might let me go. Well, I hate to disappoint you but..."

He leaned in until he was inexorably close to me. Then, he continued, "I'm never giving you an opportunity to do that."

I had said what I wanted to say, and Colin gave me his word as well. Gleefully, I hummed as I entered Crystal House.

Everything still looked the same despite my days-long absence. Winston was still in the same spot. He was there for who knew how long and was dressed in plain white. He made a refreshing sight as he focused on his drawing.

I stood next to him for nearly ten minutes until he stretched his stiff neck and noticed my presence.
