Chapter 1451 Stay For Dinner
“Louisa and I met in college, but at that time, we had a misunderstanding. We were both bad-tempered, and we couldn’t tolerate each other, so we ended up making a fool of ourselves.”
“One night, I had one too many during our college’s annual dinner. As a result, we somehow ended up in the same bed. It happened last year.
“I was furious when I woke up the next day and even yelled at her.”
“But she said nothing and left after putting on her clothes.”
“We didn’t see each other for a month after that. When I returned to college again, she had already dropped out and prepared to transfer to another college.”
“No one in our college knew what had happened, so I went to look for her and asked her in person, but I didn’t know why I wanted to.”
“I really missed her, but I was not willing to admit it until my friend told me she was transferring to a remote area to continue her studies. She had already completed the transfer procedures, only waiting for the college to sign the documents.”
“It suddenly dawned on me that I might never see her again.”
“If Louisa were gone, there would be no one I could butt heads with and no one to compete with me in class. Life would be meaningless.”
“I went to see her on the day she left. A bus lost control and rammed into the taxi she was in. I watched as the taxi flipped twice in front of my eyes and crashed with a bang.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“At that moment, it felt as if my heart had crashed along with the taxi. It was so shattered that I thought it would never heal again.”
“I stood there, unable to move. All I could hear were the police sirens and the crowd shouting and yelling. When I walked over, my only thought was that I would give anything for her to stay alive.”
Silence filled the room for a moment.
Colston smiled at the end of his story. Rossie asked, “What happened after that?”
“Later, she was hospitalized. Thank the heavens, she was alive, and I’m glad she didn’t lose an arm or a leg.”
“When I took care of her in the hospital, she rarely spoke to me. No matter how lowly I put myself, she remained indifferent to me. When she was discharged, I threw everything she could use to leave me into the fire.”
“She wanted to leave, but I wouldn’t let her.”
“Because she couldn’t transfer, she lashed out at me. When she returned to our college, she ignored me.”
“Later, some guy, who didn’t have the word death in his dictionary, pursued her. When I found out, I broke his leg in front of her.”
“You broke his leg?” Rossie drew in a breath of cold air. She wondered why all the men she knew were so terrifying.
“And then?” Rossie asked, deeply engrossed in the story. Colston continued, “After that, everyone in college knew that Louisa is mine. So, no one dared to approach her.”
“Although I’m a nobody in the Moore family, I still bore the family name. So, the school also gave me some privileges.”
“They wouldn’t do anything to me even if I beat up someone.”
…
“Louisa didn’t like me to be around her, but I decided to live with her anyway. She resisted and got into a fight with me because of this. But later…”
“When I almost got into an accident, she finally admitted that she loves me.”
Colston poured a cup of tea for himself, Zorion, and Rossie as he spoke.
“Love is blind.”
“On the contrary, onlookers see most of the game. It was obvious to others that we love each other.”
Rossie stole a glance at Zorion, his gaze downcast. If there was no love, they wouldn’t be so good with each other in bed.
However, their relationship was a mistake from the very beginning.
“Louisa’s neighbor, an old doctor, passed away before the new year. He was a lonely and arrogant man, and there was no one beside him when he was dying. Louisa called me, and when I rushed over, he was already breathing his last breath. He held my hand and told me to cherish every moment with Louisa and be grateful for what I have.”
Colston was about to continue when Ronard came into the room. He paused at the door and asked, “Mr. Colston, should we prepare lunch?”
“Mr. Whalen, would you like to stay for lunch? Louisa’s cooking is excellent,” Colston said. Initially, Zorion wanted to refuse, but Rossie wanted to ask Louisa more about acupuncture, so she was not ready to leave.
“I want to talk to Louisa,” Rossie said. Zorion glanced at her and said, “If your wife is cooking, we will stay.”
“Ronard, prepare the ingredients.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Rossie kept quiet after Ronard left. On the other hand, Colston asked Zorion about his experience studying at Elkton University.
Louisa returned an hour later. She handed Rossie several bags of floral tea and explained, “I’ve blended these myself; they’re specifically used to help with sleep. Although they’re not as effective as sleeping pills, they are safer and more reliable. If you adhere to my instructions and use them constantly, you will be able to restore your sleep cycle in a month.”
Rossie stared at the floral tea bags in her hand, inhaling the faint fragrance.
“Don’t worry, I’ve planted the flowers myself, no pesticides, so they are safe,” Louisa quickly added. Rossie smiled, “It’s not that I don’t believe you; I just feel bad that you’re so nice to me when I’ve done nothing for you, even if this is our first meeting.”
“I’m also doing this for Colston, so please don’t feel bad at all. If we met somewhere else, we wouldn’t know each other, and I wouldn’t have gifted you the tea bags.”
Rossie nodded. “I see.”
“Louisa, please get the lunch ready. We’ll eat in our room later,” Colston got up from his seat and said.
Zorion was the only one sitting, and he looked up at the three people in front of him.
Colston explained, “I have to help her.”
Zorion recalled Louisa was pregnant, and he immediately stood up.
The four of them left the main hall and headed toward Colston and Louisa’s room.
Zorion had wanted to sit down after entering the room, but when they heard they were making spaghetti and meatballs, Rossie volunteered, saying she was good at it. Zorion had his doubts, but she began helping Louisa nevertheless.
Staring at Rossie’s tender hands, Zorion could not bear to see her do the work. So, he moved to her side and stared at her.
Meanwhile, Colston and Louisa worked diligently in the kitchen. Colston cooked, and Louisa chopped up the ingredients. Shortly after, the food was ready.
Rossie was also done with her task by the time food was served.
As none of them drink, soda was prepared instead. The four of them sat down and ate together.
Rossie asked Louisa about acupuncture while eating, seeming very interested.
Zorion, on the other hand, was silent.
After dinner, Colston and Louisa sent Zorion and Rossie off. The two of them stood at the door and waited for the car to leave.
Louisa said after they left, “They remind me of us when we first met.”
“Very awkward with each other.” Colston put his arm around her shoulder and walked inside.
…
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
“Get lost. all of you, get lost!” Flynt yelled at the doctor like a madman, his remaining arm flailing around wildly. When he realized that his arm was gone after waking up, he became agitated and smashed things in the ward. Elina stood on the side, her eyes red and swollen from crying, barely surviving. One of her daughters was locked up, while the other had gone missing. Now, her son had become a cripple.
What had she done to deserve this?
She stumbled, about to faint. Fortunately, someone supported her. But she could barely stand straight.
Flynt lowered his head, his face pale, his gaze fixed on the blanket, and his whole body was stiff. Then, he hissed, “Jepherson, I swear I will destroy you and your family!”
