My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin)

Chapter 64 Give Her a Reason

If Faye heard the sentence from a playboy, she would definitely think he helped her for sexual purposes.

But Faye had known him for years, and knew Colin wasn't an unscrupulous or lascivious man.

Faye thought, "There must be a reason why he knows everything about me and helps me a lot."

But Faye couldn't figure it out so far.

Faye replied in a faint voice, "I don't know."

Colin said with a chuckle, "It looks like you must find a reason."

Faye said frankly, "Yes, otherwise, I would feel uneasy."

Colin grinned a crooked smile. "What if I say I help you because I love you?"

Faye rolled her eyes. "Can you convince yourself?"

"No." Colin smiled broadly. They stood there looking at each other.

Colin tapped on the car door and said, "Get in the car. I'll give you a reason." He took the car key from Faye and got into the car first.

Having paused for a few seconds, Faye walked around the car, opened the door, and sat on the passenger's seat.

Colin drove slowly while putting on his sunglasses. "Do you know about my mom?" he asked.

"Yes," Faye answered.

"Do you think my mom is a home-wrecker?" Colin asked with a crooked smile.

"No," Faye said honestly.

Colin gave a sideways glance at her. "Do you really think so?"

"I don't need to lie to you," Faye replied flatly.

Colin gave a quiet chuckle and continued, "I never think my mom is a home-wrecker. But people called her a home-wrecker. And because of that, she couldn't live a life with dignity." Faye didn't say anything.

Faye had heard about Colin's mother, Blaine's first love. But he had cheated on her when she was pregnant.

Nowadays, when a man cheated on his partner, he would be condemned by morality and public opinions.

But things had been different decades ago. Regardless of who had been at fault, it had been always women who lost out.

Blaine had married Mdam Farrell for the development of his company, having abandoned Colin's mother.

Over the years, she had been stigmatized as a home-wrecker. People even called Colin a bastard.

When Faye recalled the rumors about Colin and his mother, they have left the downtown area and were on the freeway.

There was a harmonious silence in the car. Colin played music to break the silence.

As the air resounded with gentle music, Colin spoke in a deep voice, "I'm taking you to see my mom."

"Why?" Faye was confused.

"Didn't you ask me to give a reason? I'm taking you to see it." With that, Colin put his foot down and the car roared away.

They got off the freeway and came to a suburb near the city.

Colin drove along a narrow country lane, and pulled in front of a temple.

Faye watched the solemn temple and then turned to look at Colin questioningly.

Colin met her gaze, one hand on the steering wheel, and the other pointing to the temple. "My mom has lived here for twenty-eight years."
