Chapter 226

I Can’t Not Have You

Queenie’s whole body began to stiffen when she heard these words. She stayed frozen in the same
spot for a long time. Right at this moment, it was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on
her, soaking her in ice water from head to toe.

Her eyes were wide as her outstretched hands shook. Even her voice was trembling when she asked
with some difficulty, “Is there something I am lacking, Colton?”

Her eyes were already covered with a layer of tears when she spoke. But even though she looked
pitiful, the man was not moved in the least.

He remained impassive as he said, “I have been repaying you what I owe you for more than five years
now. It is about time this ends.”

All Queenie could feel now was the tightening of her throat. She didn’t think that he would tell her such
a thing today. With her fists clenched, she forced herself to smile.

“You know that was my first time, Colton. I have never had another man beside me ever since I got
together with you,” she muttered pitifully while sniffling.

His gaze fell then. As he listened to her words, he couldn’t help but recall the bright red color on white
sheets.

Indeed, that had been Queenie’s first time. It was also precisely because of this that he had allowed
her to stay by his side for five years.

He closed his eyes slightly and said in a hoarse voice, “You might have been my fiancée for 5 years,
but there is nothing between us.”



Hearing this, Queenie quickly walked straight ahead until she was in front of his desk. “But you are all I
have during all these years. Colton, I… I can’t leave you!”

The Andersons would be a powerless and weak family without the Gardners. Queenie would lose
everything she had.

She could never let that happen!

Colton lifted his eyes to look at the person in front of him who had become fragile and pitiful because of
his words, but his heart remained unchanging.

Still, she was the one who had saved him back then, and had spent five years of her life with him. He
didn’t intend to be too cruel toward her. Hence, he simply said, “I will break off the engagement through
the media, but I can help with paying off all the debts your family has. The Gardner Corporation can
also collaborate with your family’s company for certain projects.”

Queenie only kept looking at him. She could tell that he was determined to break up with her. Holding
back the tears in her eyes, she quickly began to think of a way to salvage the situation.

After a while, she lifted her gaze and pleaded, “Colton, I know that you don’t like me, but I’m used to
having you around… This is too sudden for me. Can you give me a buffer?”

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while before he nodded. “Alright,” he agreed. “I will give you
time. I want you to come to terms with it before Wendy’s birthday banquet, though.”

Queenie was somewhat staggered, but there was nothing she could do at this point.

With a nod and a soft hum, she turned around and left the room.

After he looked at her retreating back, Colton directly turned away without a hint of lingering emotion in
his eyes.



He knew full well what kind of person Queenie was. He knew that all she wanted was to hold onto the
financial power of the Gardner Family. He had endured the things she had done behind his back during
the five years because he had always felt like he owed her.

But now, he couldn’t continue with this anymore. Even though nothing had happened throughout the
years she was his fiancée and that they could keep on with this meaningless relationship forever, the
current him didn’t want just anyone to occupy the position as his fiancée.

Just as he finished musing to himself and was about to collect himself to continue working, Tony
suddenly came in through the door.

After he glanced at Colton, he walked to the desk and started cleaning up the mess as he spoke.
“Gosh, what did you say to her, President Gardner? She was so happy when she came in, but she left
in tears. Poor Queenie!”

Listening to Tony babble, Colton looked at him and snapped, “I can let her marry you if you sympathize
with her so much.”

Tony’s soul almost left his body from the shock, and he quickly shook his head. “Please don’t joke
about this!” he cried.

Tony was greeted by the sight of his boss’ straight face as soon as he looked up. He was so frightened
that he quickly finished up his task at hand.

“Please continue with your work. I’ll leave you to it.” He proceeded to scurry off to the door after he
blurted that out.
