Kiss me tender

Chapter 16 Courage

In the meal, Colin's performance was satisfying. But Melissa believed that there was a conspiracy. Otherwise, why was he treating her so well?

She thought that her parents wouldn't be aware of it. But after dinner, Paul and Colin were chatting in the living room. Jenny suddenly asked Melissa to sit aside and talk. Jenny said, "Melissa, tell me the truth. Is Colin your boyfriend or not?"

Shocked and nervous, Melissa said, "Mom…… What are you talking about? " She didn't know what her mother meant by saying that. Did she find out anything?

Jenny stared at her as if she wanted to break her lies. She forced her to be honest, "Melissa, if you were really a girlfriend of him, you would not have behaved so restrained just now. Obviously, he was very good to you, but you were not used to it and even felt a little uncomfortable. So what's the relationship between you and him? And why did he come to our house? "

Melissa said, "Mom…… You are really thinking too much…… I and he…… He is my lover! "

"If he is your boyfriend, why are you so reserved with him? Besides, if he is your boyfriend, did he help our family? "

Melissa nodded, "Yes!"

Jenny said sharply, "Mommy and Daddy are familiar with that, especially your daddy. He is good at judging people. Melissa, we have watched you grow up. We know exactly what kind of thing you have met, right? If you really have something, we will know that. Colin's identity is not simple, right? As for you and him, I'm afraid you have suffered more. "

"Mom..." Melissa called her, but she couldn't say any words to defend her in her intense gaze. So, she lowered her head. Melissa didn't know how to answer her mother's question, but she had been

flinching. Did they really see through how they disguised their parents?

Jenny said, "You have suffered a lot in these years when we lost fame and money. But Melissa, people have self-esteem, especially our daughter. No matter what happens at home, we don't want you to suffer hardships and we even don't want you to do anything…… It's about dignity. We would rather starve to death than watch our daughter abuse herself... "

"Mom!" Melissa was hit by Jenny's words and she didn't want to let them know about her own affairs, so she retorted, "Mom, you think too much. I didn't do anything wrong."

"I know that you don't want me and your father to get involved in this matter, but you have to let us rest assured. Melissa, we worry about you. Besides, Colin is not a simple man. Do he really love you even though he is your boyfriend? Will he treat you well? Will you be happy if he just treats you casually for fun? If what you do is only for us, we will be very guilt. You know your father's temper. If he knows anything, he would rather starve to death than let you be bullied! "

"Mom..." As Melissa snapped at her, she felt Jenny thought too much. In order to stop her, she said with gritting teeth, "Colin loves me and he won't play with me. Didn't you behave well at the dinner? If he doesn't love me, why do he come to our home? "

Melissa had no choice but to make up an excuse in this situation. Although she knew that it was unrealistic to talk about those matters. It was clear that Colin wouldn't fall in love with her. He were just having fun. The one he loved in his heart was Avril. She had made a deal with Colin! To set her mother's mind at rest, she had made up an excuse.

Looking at her resolute eyes, Jenny seemed to believe her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you, but you must always remember that you are the daughter of the Shen family. No matter how poor the people in the Shen family are, they are still innocent children. No matter what, we will not allow you to spoil ourselves. We'd rather starve to death on the street than live a living coward!"

"Mom, I know. I won't let you and dad worry about me!" Melissa answered her with her head down and made a solemn promise. The promise was so resolve that she clenched her fists tightly. But there was a long way ahead and she didn't know what to do to realize it? To live a life of indignity!

It was at night when Colin and Melissa finally left the house. When they got out of the door, Melissa become expressionless. She had planned to visit her parents for a good day, but all of a sudden, the day was ruined by Colin's arrival. She felt like a clown who was suddenly put in front of her parents. All of a sudden, she was restrained and didn't know how to deal with it.

But Melissa couldn't make up the lie after she said that Colin loved her in front of her mother. Because it was really hard to make up the lie. Since Colin didn't love her at all, how could her parents believe that they had a good relationship from their behavior?

But to her surprise, due to the cold weather, when they bid farewell at the door, Colin suddenly took off his suit jacket and put it on Melissa. Meanwhile, he wrapped her shoulders with one hand and asked in a low voice, "Are you cold?" His tone was as gentle as a boyfriend was worrying his girlfriend.

Melissa looked at him in astonishment and turned to her parents. Finally, a touch of gratification appeared in her mother's eyes as if she really believed that Colin loved her.

No matter whether Colin was lying or not, his action had helped her a lot. Finally, her suspicious mother believed in their relationship, hadn't it? Then Melissa grinned at him.

As Colin noticed her smile, a flame of fury rose in his eyes. Her smile looked so beautiful and gorgeous. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips, saying, "Let's go back!" Then he turned to her parents, "Uncle Paul and Aunt Jenny, I'm taking her home. We'll visit you again some other day!"

Paul and Jenny, in particular for Jenny, couldn't help laughing. They were happy as they saw the scene of their intimate moves. They saw the tenderness in Colin's eyes when he cared about their daughter. ItThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

couldn't be pretending. She believed that Colin loved her daughter. Melissa's parents said yes and asked them to be careful on the way.

Colin said goodbye to Paul and got in the car with his arm around Melissa's shoulders. Melissa was still in shock because of what happened just now. Colin kissed her in front of his parents and she blushed.

As Colin was driving, he suddenly tilted his head and asked, "Did I behave well just now?"

Melissa nodded, "Yes…… Thank you! "

Colin smiled. For a moment, Melissa was in a daze. After a long while, she said, "Colin, I want to get out of here for a movie."

Colin felt startled and turned to look at her. Then he showed a smile. "Why?" he asked, frowning. He didn't like his woman to go out to the public, especially for filming.

Melissa said, "I hope you can give me some space to be independent? After all, our five-year contract is coming. I should also find something to do. I don't want to live under your wings all my life! " There was a trace of coldness in her tone when Melissa said these words. Because there was always an alarm in her heart. She remembered what her mother had said to her: Be a woman with indignity! She didn't want to be a forbidden mistress to Colin forever!
