Chapter 144
I didn’t know how long they had been communicating. Seeing me coming out, they stopped talking and turned to look at me.
Inexplicably, I could sense their tension and anger. If I accidentally threw a bomb at them, it would immediately cause a big explosion.
“You look pretty.”
Matthew walked up to me with a grin. “Let’s go for a walk first. The research institute will start classes soon. We may not have time by then.”
“Okay, my classmate said there’s a botanical garden nearby. There are many varieties of roses there. I want to take a look.”
“No problem. The roses I picked for you yesterday were from there. There are many varieties of precious flowers. If you like any, I’ll give them to you.”
“Flowers should be free. They prefer to be planted in the soil and bathed in the wind and sunshine. It’s too unfair to put them in a flower pot. I just want to have
a look.”
Matthew didn’t argue with me and followed whatever I said, listening to me.
We walked onto the path. When I turned the corner of the apartment, I looked back inadvertently. Felix was still standing in front of the apartment. His head was slightly lowered, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Matthew drove a short distance from the college and stopped in front of the supermarket. He told me to wait in the car while he entered the supermarket. In less than ten minutes, he came back hurriedly while carrying two oversized shopping bags.
I couldn’t see clearly through the shopping bags. It seemed to be some snacks
and water.
“Why did you buy so many things?” I asked him in doubt.
The botanical garden wasn’t far away. We were just going sightseeing, not picnicking or camping. He didn’t need to buy these things at all. Or did he have
other plans?
He put the shopping bags on the back seat, took out a bottle of alkaline water, opened it, and handed it to me. “I didn’t buy a lot of things. These are the snacks

When I was a child, I was addicted to snacking. I always felt like something was missing if I wasn’t chewing on snacks.
When I went to university, I was taken care of by Colin. He used the excuse that eating too many snacks was bad for my health and would turn me into an ugly fatty. He tried hard to put an end to my habit.
Now that I saw snacks, I imagined myself turning into a fat, tanned woman with a height of five–foot–two and a weight of 350 pounds.
I shuddered after imagining it as if I would become that the next moment.
“I don’t eat snacks.”
“Why? Don’t all women like these?‘

“I’ll become fat. I don’t want to eat them.”
Matthew laughed. As if looking at an unreasonable child, he rubbed my head with an indescribably affectionate tone.
“What nonsense. It’s only a bit. You don’t snack all the time. It doesn’t matter.
“Colin said I can’t eat them.”
“Who’s Colin?” Matthew’s reaction was quick
He immediately grasped the points of my words. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to eat these snacks but Colin didn’t allow me.
He looked at me questioningly.
“Colin White, Felix’s brother. I treat him as my brother. He took care of me back in Lincoln University.”
“Felix’s brother…”
Matthew murmured, and something strange appeared in his narrow eyes. There
