NovelEnglishChapter 440 "It's 3:00 pm." I looked at Colin and felt powerless for a moment. It was such a rush. Why was everything happening at the stime? I paused my steps in hesitation. Professor King must be referring to Dreamlight's Tudor-style project. We had invested a lot of energy and effort into the early stages and made all- around preparations. We had submitted a dozen drafts, and the feedback results had been positive. Now that there was a sudden change at Dreamlight. We might need to overturn the previous plans. If that were the case, we might have to start over everything. Our twould bectight, and the difficulty would increase. Professor King's request for my early return demonstrated that he couldn't resolve the issue alone and needed my assistance. However, he had signed a formal contract with Dreamlight. If the other party suddenly made unexpected adjustments, it could be regarded as a unilateral breach of contract. He didn't hold anyone responsible but informedto return and confront the issue. Did something happen during this period that I wasn't aware of? Life wasn't only about love but also career. However, I was concerned about Colin. One of the reasons was that he had recently been through an accident. His body and mind were still in a tense stage. Yesterday and today were merely thoughts that kept him going. I wanted to be by his side. As his girlfriend, I should care for him for another two days. Another reason was that the scene of him holding another woman always lingered in my mind. I told myself that he would never wrong me. It was also natural for every woman to be envious when they saw their boyfriend hugging someone else and wanted to know more about it. I had to find out about that woman. It was a pity I didn't have such an opportunity. Things that needed to be faced appeared all at once. Professor King's request was too unexpected. His reason seemed far-fetched, but I didn't dare to question him. What should I do? I cto a halt on the spot, feeling extremely troubled. 1/2 "How about you return with Professor King first?" Colin bent over and tentatively persuaded me. "I'll get the results soon. The academic exchange is also coming to an end. It won't takemore than half a month to go back. If anything happens, I'll tell you in time. Don't delay your business, okay?" I lowered my head and remained silent, expressing my reluctance. Colin sighed helplessly, caressed my neck, and hugged me. "Be good, now. You've been following that project for a long time. You're not a quitter, right? Besides, don't you want to earn money to support me? Do you want to break your promise?" I was surprised he didn't feel ashamed to speak about this in front of others. Did he feel proud to be supported by a woman? I knew he was persuading me, attempting to provide a reason and assistin making my decision. He recognized what I was going through and my unwillingness to go, so he helpeddecide. I threw his hands away and turned toward the wall to sulk, refusing to pay attention to him. Was Colin so anxious to sendoff? I had planned to stay with him for another two days. I had just been here for a day and night. I hadn't had tto speak with him properly. We hadn't seen each other for a month. He had no idea how much I had planned to say to him. However, I didn't have a chance to express it. I was even more upset when the person I wanted to see refused to stay withand tried to persuadeto return. I felt so angry- There was a sound of footsteps behind us. Soon, Colin and I were the only ones left in the corridor. I admitted that I felt uncomfortable and deliberately caused issues. It was him who madeupset. If I'd known he'd respond like that, I might not have come. Colin understoodand knew how to calmdown and makehappy again. He said nothing, only hugged my shoulders and ledto the elevator. I struggled to break free from him, but he grippedtighter.
