Dark Secrets of the Blind Husband
Chapter 1165 Cherise's Drunken Escapades
Colin lingered by the doorway, balancing two steaming cups of tea. It was clear he had arrived with the intention of offering refreshment to them.
Mandy rolled her eyes. "Pfft. Eavesdropping."
Colin pursed his lips, his expression tightening slightly. "I wasn't eavesdropping. You didn't shut the door," he countered.
Mandy responded with silence, her frustration palpable.
"Alright, we're all friends here, right? Misunderstandings can be cleared up," Lucy chimed in, her tone light as she glanced at Mandy and Colin and winked. "You don't have to explain. I understand," Shortly after, Lucy took out her phone and dialed Cherise's number. "Quick, come over to my place. It's nothing serious. Mandy's here. She's at my house now. Mm. She came last night and stayed with Colin..."
Mandy was dumbfounded. She couldn't shake the feeling that Lucy was intentionally causing tension.
Meanwhile, by the door, Colin's face and ears were red as he placed the tea on the coffee table with pursed lips. He excused himself and headed upstairs. "I'll freshen up and go to the office!"
"It's the weekend," Lucy said with a smile after hanging up. "Do you want to stay at home with us and keep Mandy company?"
Colin froze. He cleared his throat before responding, "The weekend... Since it's the weekend, I promised to meet Jude. I'll clean up and head out to meet him!" With that, he hurried upstairs as if he were escaping a great danger.
Leaning against Mandy's door, Lucy observed Colin's swift exit with crossed arms. "What did you do to him last night? Why is he so flustered?"
