Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 226 I Can’t Not Have You

Queenie’s whole body began to stiffen when she heard these words. She stayed frozen in the same spot for a long time. Right at this moment, it was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her, soaking her in ice water from head to toe.

Her eyes were wide as her outstretched hands shook. Even her voice was trembling when she asked with some difficulty, “Is there something I am lacking, Colton?”

Her eyes were already covered with a layer of tears when she spoke. But even though she looked pitiful, the man was not moved in the least.

He remained impassive as he said, “I have been repaying you what I owe you for more than five years now. It is about time this ends.”

All Queenie could feel now was the tightening of her throat. She didn’t think that he would tell her such a thing today. With her fists clenched, she forced herself to smile.

“You know that was my first time, Colton. I have never had another man beside me ever since I got together with you,” she muttered pitifully while sniffling.
