Chapter 645 I Have Realized My Mistake
Hearing Colin's words, Robert nodded quickly and left.
When passing by Faye's side, Robert smiled at her as a greeting.
As Robert left, Faye and Colin Farrell were alone in the office.
They looked at each other for a while. Colin took a shallow breath and spoke first, "Honey."
Faye said, "Let's talk."
"Okay."
With that, Colin got up and walked over to Faye.
Before she could speak, he reached out a hand to touch her fingertips.
She frowned, subconsciously wanting to avoid it, but what Jake had said flashed in her mind. Finally she froze and didn't move.
Little by little, tentatively, Colin wrapped her hand in his. Then he said in a deep voice, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you in the name of your own good, making you feel uneasy."
He continued with a self-deprecating smile, "I've always said that white lies were still lies and I used this sentence to laugh at those who told white lies. Now I'm the kind of person I used to laugh at."
His tone was sincere. Then Faye said frankly, "Colin, you're making me feel insecure."
Colin had a feeling of heartbreak as he looked at their clasped hands. "I have realized that."
"We have a long time ahead of us. You don't have to promise me anything, but I want you to walk the walk."
She added, "Emotionally, I am sensitive and paranoid, and I'll probably never get rid of that."
Colin said hoarsely, "It won't happen again."
Faye inhaled deeply. "Colin, you can't tell me to trust you with all my heart, and then keep doing things that keep me from trusting you with all my heart."
Her tone was calm, and there was little anger or accusation to be heard.
But these words made him feel very terrible.
After she finished speaking, both of them were silent.
After a full five or six minutes, he looked into her eyes, "Should I kneel on a durian?"
"No."
"Then I would like to kneel on a remote control for half an hour and not change the channel."
His expression was too earnest, and her taut face loosened a little.
Seeing this, he hugged her into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Sweetie."
She clenched her drooping hands and did not hug him back. "Don't do it again."
"I would never do that again."
They hugged for a while. Then he asked, "How did you find out?"
She told the truth, "I got a text from a stranger that day, saying you were gonna kill Hugh. And I think something's going to happen. In the early morning of the next day, I asked Cindy if Lance was at home. She said no, and I completely understood."
"You are very logical."
She said flatly, "I'm not that stupid. It's easy to see what's going on."
Later, Faye followed Colin's car. Then she saw the scene where Colin hit Lance.
Some things seemed to have no trace, but in fact, there were clues everywhere.
It was not that Faye was too smart, but that she was careful enough.
After Faye finished speaking, Colin remained silent for a while. Then he asked, "Honey, are we making up now?"
"No."
"Why?"
"You haven't knelt on a remote control yet."
He chuckled. "Yeah."
