As she stared at the street lamps, Nigel was also staring at her profile. She was more beautiful than he thought.
Queenie noticed the look he was giving her. Most women would have looked away in embarrassment, but she wasnât like any other woman. She turned her head and stared back at him boldly. She then rested her chin on her hand, not even once averting her gaze from his.
No hints of fear showed in her eyes as she continued to stare at him. She blinked and pursed her lips, but never once had she shifted her gaze away from him as if the first one doing so would be the loser. or something.
In the end, Nigel blushed a little and coughed before looking away. âYou think I'm pretty, donât you?â Queenie asked confidently.
He looked at her again. She was confident and straightforward. Perhaps, it was because she grew up in a family lacking nothing, so she was not an overly ambitious or scheming woman. Nigel then commented, âJust average.â
Queenie was slightly disappointed by that comment, but she wouldn't beat herself up over it. She joked, âAt least Iâm not ugly.â
Nigel froze for a few moments. She cheers herself up like that? He wanted to tell her. she wasnât ugly. If she debuted in the entertainment industry, she would look better than most celebrities.
But then food was served, and Queenieâs eyes shone. âIâm starving.â
She was about to take some food, but someone opened the door, and in came a tearful Bonnie. âYou have to help me, Queenie.
Queenie stared at her estranged sister in confusion. What's going on?
Leslie came in after Bonnie and quickly explained, âYou took it the wrong way. Bonnie. | never flirted with anyone else.. That was just a joke.â He tried to hold Bonnie.
Bonnie reacted fiercely. âDonât touch me!â
Leslie looked shocked, and Queenie was surprised Bonnie found out Leslie was hitting someone else up.
âListen to me, please. You're the only one | love. | promise | wonât say anything stupid anymore,â he quickly promised. There was panic in his eyes.
Bonnie snapped coldly, âI donât care about your promise. Donât touch me.â âBonnie...â Leslie couldn't do anything: about the situation. Bonnie was usually a seductive woman, but her temper was atrocious.
Bonnie suddenly hid behind Queenie. âTell him off for me, Queenie. | donât want to see him anymore. | wanna break up with him.
Tell him to leave me alone.â
âDon't drag me into this. Dad and Mom can handle this,â Queenie told her. Bonnie started tearing up again. âIâm sorry, Queenie.
Can you forgive me?â
Leslie was starting to fumble a little. This is going to be hard to handle. âDonât interrupt them while they're having dinner. I'll take you home.â Leslie tried to take her away.
But Queenie jumped like a shocked little bunny. âIâm not going with you. Donât touch me. Go away!â
Wow, if | didnât know better, | wouldâve thought Leslie abuses her every day. Queenie frowned, and Leslie had no choice but to leave things in Queenieâs hands..
âTake her home, Queenie. Sheâs a little unstable now, so try to keep her calm.â And then he left.
Queenie turned around and sneered. âI thought you loved him. Did you fall out of love?â
