Chapter 214 
I was completely speechless. 

Of course, all of them knew about it. No wonder they scolded me when I helped Jasmine with her love letter. 
At that time, Colin even refused to talk to me for several days. I couldn’t figure out why he was angry despite the many years that had passed. Now, I finally got the answer. 
I couldn’t help but curse these friends in my heart. 
Initially, I wanted to ask them for advice on how to understand my own feelings. 
Plus, I wanted to make sure Colin’s feelings for me were deep enough for him to spend his whole life with me. 
However, all of them were so excited that none of them listened to me. 
I decided to stop talking to them and went quiet in the group. 
After Queenie and Julia saw that I wasn’t replying, they bombarded me with messages. It didn’t take long for me to have 99 unread messages. 
When I scrolled through the messages, they were mostly telling me to quickly accept Colin so that I wouldn’t regret it. After all, Colin was as popular as hotcakes. 
I couldn’t take it anymore and announced, “I’m still considering it. Don’t overthink it.” 
They sent a few curse words before the group went silent. 
Then, I sent a message to my high school friends‘ group chat. My few words caused another uproar in the group, setting off waves of discussion in the group. 

Jade and Zara were the most excited. “How ruthless of you. Since you can’t become Felix’s wife, you’ve decided to become his sister–in–law! Felix and Lilac must be furious! Good job. You should disgust them as much as you can.” 
Zara went even far as to teach me, “Lulu, since you’re Felix’s future sister–in–law now, you should show some concern to his future wife. When is he going to get married to that bitch? Ask them to hurry up. They shouldn’t keep showing up in front of us. It’s disgusting to watch them prance around!” 
The entire group laughed as they congratulated me for taking down Colin. None of them asked how I felt or if I needed their comfort or advice.

I couldn’t help but think that they were a bunch of heartless people. 
I was there to ask for their help, not to provide gossip to them. Yet, they were focusing on the wrong thing. 
I felt speechless and left the group chat. 
None of my friends cared about my feelings. All of them just wanted to see the excitement. 
I couldn’t fall asleep after tossing and turning around in bed. All I could think about was my interactions with Colin over the years. Recalling the things that I had thought were normal, I could find some clues that hinted at his feelings for me. This was especially the case for the 
memories after I turned 18. 
Perhaps it wasn’t that hard for me to accept him as my boyfriend. It was just that I needed to confirm my own feelings. 
Plus, my new house was just renovated. Mom thought I wouldn’t be involved with the Whites again for the rest of my life. Yet, Colin wanted to be my boyfriend now. 
I wondered how I should break it to my parents if we actually started dating. 
Plus, I even swore that I wouldn’t get close to the Whites ever again. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have sworn on my life. I was just making things difficult for myself. 
Also, I wondered if I should move to my new house. 
I felt extremely overwhelmed. I wondered who could help me at this moment.
