Hearing that, Melissa froze and didn't move. Although she tried to keep calm, she was restless in her
heart. She was surprised that Colin who always had been superior would bow his head and admit his
mistakes to a woman. And why did he do that? He used to tease her in front of Sophia that she was
only a pair of broken shoes. Then why did he keep a low profile now?
Seeing that Melissa didn't move, Colin said coldly, "get off. Take some ointment."
Melissa still didn't move. She just sat there with her back to him. Anyone could see her stubbornness
from her back.
At last, reluctantly, Colin took the medicine bottle and cotton swab, walked up to her and applied
medicine to her wound.
She saw Colin reach out, and Melissa turned away, and again he couldn't touch her, and suddenly he
was angry and said coldly, "Woman! How do you be my woman? Are you not going to be with me
anymore? Why are you so silly? Every women is always obedient to her man. Even if she is wronged,
she has to please her man. You can't offend the master of the wealthy family. How can you be in the
entertainment industry with such a tough heart? "
His words struck a sharp knife into her heart. Melissa was a tough woman. She always believed that
people should have integrity. It was difficult to bow down, not to fawn on the boss, not to play up to the
big boss. Therefore, she offended the only backstage manipulator. How could such a woman work in
the entertainment circle?
Later on, Colin reached out his hand again to apply ointment for her, but Melissa didn't dodge. Instead,
she stood still, quietly watching him apply the ointment.
Colin said, "didn't you feel tired standing here? " Melissa didn't answer him, so he pushed her on the
bed and then sat next to her to apply medicine to her wounds quietly.
When Melissa felt it was cold, she then realized that it was real. This man was applying medicine to her
wounds, inch by inch, carefully. He applied the ointment in a gentle way as if he was afraid of hurting
her, totally different from his previous violent behaviors. As a result, Melissa was almost lost in his
tenderness.
She couldn't help but turn around to look at Colin, trying to see something in his eyes, such as
tenderness and something that made him feel guilty, so he applied the medicine so carefully.
But before she could see anything, Colin stopped and looked at her with a forced smile. "Why are you
looking at me like that" Do you fall in love with me? "
He was joking, but didn't expect that his joke could hit right into her heart, which made Melissa feel
guilty. She hastily turned her head away and said coldly, "don't think about it. It's impossible."
Colin forced a smile and continued applying medicine for her, "that's good. For me, it's impossible for
me to fall in love with you. So you'd better not have any illusions about me, or you will be the one who
gets hurt. I don't know how many women got hurt because of me!" He said narcissistically.
But suddenly, Melissa fell into silence. Many women got hurt because of him. He told her not to have
fantasy about him, because he could never fall in love with her. His words were like a needle that
stabbed into her heart. It hurt so much that the illusion she had just had vanished. Those tender and
distressed expressions were just what she had imagined. They would not appear on him, and he would
not feel distressed for her. Because his heart was tender and his love was given to one person, that
person was named Avril, and other women couldn't have his love even a little bit.
Suddenly, Melissa lowered his head and said, "Colin, I have something to ask you."
"What?" Colin also stopped to watch her.
Downcast, Melissa lowered her head with a gloomy expression on her face and said lightly, "Avril...
About Avril. " Melissa glanced at him, and found that he didn't change his mood, so she continued to
ask, "I wonder, why do you like Avril? Why do you still like her so much? You have loved her for such a
long time, even though she is dead. What on earth do you like about her? "
Colin didn't reply, but stared at Melissa quietly. There was an obvious change in his expression, such
as his eyes becoming insidious.
Although Melissa didn't look at him, but the arua that emanated from him, she could sense that his
feelings towards her had changed. So she continued, "I know that you don't want others to ask about
Avril, so you don't have to answer my questions. It's kind of overstep, and I shouldn't have asked you
that."
"There is no reason to love someone." But she didn't expect that Colin would tell her the reason in such
a calm way. He put the ointment on the bedside cupboard, tossed a cotton swab, and turned around to
sit flat with Melissa. He faced the wall and said, "I love her at first sight. I don't know why. If there was a
reason, you can say that she is a charming woman, and also my favorite charm make me to like her.
She has a fatal attraction for me. I can't extricate myself from loving her. That's it. "
This answer meant no answer. Melissa thought, lowering her head.
"There is a kind of treasure in her, which does not belong to any woman. She is so pure as if from
heaven. She does not have the slightest idea of what time has passed, completely different from those
snobbish or dark women. And she is so bold that she even doesn't fear someone like me who is born in
a rich family. In the past, nobody dares to scold me even if I have done something wrong. And even if I
kill or set fire, nobody dares to scold me, but she dares to. There is only one special woman in the
world that is her. "
A pure woman? All of a sudden, a thought came to Melissa's mind. Was she not pure and unclean in
the past? But she was pulled into the dark abyss later by him and became a different personality. Now
she was smoking, drinking, and accountant. She didn't dare to offend people, such as Sophia. Not like
the Melissa she used to be that she slapped Colin for forcing a kiss on her. She had too many worries
now, for instance, her parents. They didn't allow her to lower her head to the reality, or to remain good.
They also didn't allow her to act like a spoiled girl in the future.
Then she recalled that perhaps Colin was prone to be mistreated. He saw her pour a glass of wine on
him and give him a slap on the face, which reminded him of Avril. And that was why he worked so hard
and deliberately planned to get her. Moreover, she was imprisoned beside him for five years and
treated her as his lover.
But after all, she was not Avril, wasn't she? So even if she was the woman who stayed by his side for
the longest time, she would not have a happy ending. Moreover, she had become completely different
from Avril, he would not like her any more.
That thought suddenly occurred to her. Melissa couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Colin asked.
"No, I'm just congratulating myself for being smarter!" Replied Melissa.
Yes, she had become smarter and didn't believe in love, so she could better protect herself from harm.
Hearing that, Colin said mysteriously, "Melissa, don't fall in love with me. Don't imagine it. You don't
want to know the stories of Prince and Cinderella was all bullshit. I won't fall in love with you. I will
always love Avril. You'd better give up on me as soon as possible!"
