A beautiful lady came out as soon as the driver parked his car at the gate of the
villa
She hugged Colin, who just got off the car, and exclaimed, “My son! I can’t
believe you are really here!”
Colin's expression softened. He threw his arms around her and patted on her
shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.
He had only come back a handful of times during the past few years abroad.
At first, he didn't want to come back because this city had broken his heart.
Then, he was too busy with all kinds of research and didn’t have time to come
back.
Fortunately, his parents would attend various symposiums abroad. So they still
had the chance to meet each other a few times each year.
Although it was his mother who drove Zuri away, he blamed Nia more for not
sticking around.
Yes, his mother did threaten her. But if Zuri insisted, his mother would eventually
compromise. Zuri said that she loved him. Facing the lure of money, however,
she ditched him without even the slightest hesitation. This was what made him
sad, desperate, and angry.
“Good to have you back.” Colin’s mother, Colleen Donovan, turned away and
wiped her tears.
She thought that Colin would be forever mad at her for driving away Zuri. For
years, she lived in fear of Colin never coming back. She was more than relieved
to see him back.
Colin was the only son in this family. Although it was also nice for him to pursue a
bright future abroad, his family still wanted him to go back to Vertoak.
Knowing that Colin would be back today, the dinner was prepared Long ago.
The family of three sat at the table in the dining room. ConsidKatharineg that
Colin had just got off the plane and was probably suffKatharineg from jet lag, they
didn’t invite all their friends and relatives.
The dinner went well until Colin's father, Randall, asked Colin, “The biology
professor job at Vertoak University, have you made up your mind?”
Colin put down the chopsticks.
“I've already turned it down.”
Randall nodded.
“So, you are going to take a job at the research institution?”
Colin replied calmly, “I turned that down as well.”
