Take My Breath Away

As the convertible's engine sung to the broad city roads, Colman drove Amber to one of the amusement parks, which ZL Group had invested in, as she appreciated the wind blowing through her hair.

The moment they got there, Amber's eyes lit up, amazed at the spectacle in front of her. "Isn't this the largest amusement park in Y City? I'm sure the entrance fee isn't cheap. Are you sure you want to go?" she asked with some hesitation.

Then, Colman grabbed her hand once more and said, "Let's go! I have a VIP card. We won't have to wait in line for any ride!"

Colman proved to be very thoughtful when he borrowed the VIP card from his sister, Erma. He knew Amber would enjoy spending her time at an amusement park.

Excited as she was, Amber failed to notice that Colman was still holding her hand as she accompanied him.

That day, Colman took over Leon's role and showed Amber to all the exciting rides and facilities the amusement park had to offer.

When they were about to leave, Amber received a phone call from Leon. "Amber, where are you? I want to see you now," he requested in a soft voice.

Amber still hadn't gotten over the fact that Leon did not trust her. Therefore, she refused him. "I don't want to see you today. Maybe another time!"

Before Leon could say anything else, she hung up on him and put the phone back in her purse.

On the drive back, Colman comforted her, "It's normal for couples to quarrel. But if you ever need a quick cheer-up, just let me know. I'll bring you to this amusement park again!"

Amber had ignored her instincts all day long, but at that moment, she finally decided to come forth with what was troubling her. Looking at Colman curiously, she said, "Hey, I've got a question. Why have you been treating me like this? I mean, I'm your best friend's girlfriend."

Colman maintained a cool demeanor as he said, "Did you know that I have a sister? Actually, I have two sisters. I guess you remind me of them when I'm with you. Maybe you could begin to see me as your brother so I can treat you as my sister from now on."

'Oh, I see!' she thought to herself.

Amber could tell from the day they had spent together that Colman was really warm and friendly, definitely someone she could look up to as a brother. As it turned out, she had completely misread the man's feelings for her.

From that day on, Amber let her guard down around Colman and started treating him as her brother.

Colman, on his turn, also treated her very well, even better than her boyfriend, Leon, did.

For instance, on hot summer days in school when Amber had a hard time focusing on her studies, Colman would let her study in his apartment. During th

fight. Her mind went blank as she stared at the two men engaged in the fistfight.

God knew how long the two fought, but once Colman finally emerged victoriously, he held Amber's hand and walked with her towards the door.

At that moment, Leon's hoarse voice reverberated from behind. "Damn you! You and I are done, you hear me? Colman Huo, you are no longer my friend!"

Colman stopped in his tracks and turned to look at his friend. "Leon, don't blame me. If you loved her, you would have trusted her. And let's be honest, you never have. All it took was a lousy rumor for you to start a fight with her. From now on, you're no longer in a relationship with Amber.

She will be with me now!" Leon couldn't believe his ears. 'Damn it!

Can someone pinch me and wake me up from this nightmare? This has to be a dream, right?'

Afterward, Colman drove Amber home, but the two didn't say anything to each other the whole way.

Only when they got at the entrance of her community, Colman broke the silence. "Amber, I wasn't kidding. Go back and think about what I said carefully. Whether you want it or not, you will be my girlfriend from now on!"

'Huh?' Amber had never come across such a domineering man before.

Later, Colman walked into the Huo family villa. The left side of his face was slightly swollen.

Confused, Matthew looked at his son and asked with a frown, "I thought you were out celebrating your friend's birthday today?"

With a coat hanging over his arm, Colman answered casually, "Yes, I was."

"What happened to your eye then?" After all, seeing Colman like this was a rare occurrence for Matthew.

Moreover, Colman was hit straight in the eye. He had practiced martial arts for over a decade, and for what?

"I fought with Leon," he answered honestly.
