Chapter 225
Felix stared at me silently, not even turning to look at Colin.
His gentle expression was inappropriate considering our current relationship, even a little unsettling.
He had always maintained a detached, uncaring appearance as if nothing could affect him ever since he recovered from his injury. However, I always had the impression that despite his seeming disinterest, he was constantly keeping an eye on the situation.
Felix seemed to be waiting for some kind of opportunity.
He seemed like a dormant beast waiting for the right moment to attack. Though he appeared calm and uninterested, he was incredibly hazardous.
Perhaps my perception was incorrect.
“I’m glad you like them. I’ll return first.” Colin held up his hand, presumably wishing to stroke my hair.
But he dropped his raised hand for some reason and pointed at the candy box I was holding. “Don’t eat it at night or you’ll get tooth decay.”
“Colin, wait for me. I’ll go with you. Where were you last night? Did you just drive back? Are you tired? Let’s go have a barbecue tonight!”
I put aside the bag, stepped on a chair next to me, and attempted to leap out of the window.
Colin looked frightened as soon as he realized I wanted to leap out of the window. With a serious expression, he put his hand on my head and attempted to stop me.
Felix moved over, took hold of my shoulders, and dragged me off the chair before I could say anything. He flicked my forehead and said, “You’re still so naughty!”
Though he deliberately maintained a serious demeanor, his words were laced with an involuntary mixture of fondness.
There should never be any intimate conduct or glances like this between us.
I didn’t anticipate him acting in this manner. My heart skipped a beat as his unfamiliar breath approached. Something akin to loathing surged within me. Unconsciously, I stepped back and went out of his scent’s reach.
“What are you doing? Don’t get so close to me.” I cautiously took a few steps back to

distance myself from Felix.
He probably didn’t know that his proximity frightened me.
Felix’s expression abruptly became gloomy. He gave me a sarcastic look, with one corner of his lips raised high and his eyes as cold as ice.
“Are you so afraid he’ll see you getting close to me?” Snorting, he sat down heavily. He started strumming the guitar strings hard, producing a rough and sloppy sound.
I couldn’t figure out the source of his ire. I hadn’t voiced my complaints to him yet, so why was he the first to get angry with me?
“Don’t involve Colin. The two of us don’t have anything to do with each other in the first place.” I was impatient and irritable.
Felix’s eyebrows sprang up as he asked me in a chilly tone, “Then who do you want to get involved with?”
Was this the point? He was misinterpreting what I meant.
I was too lazy to pay attention to his absurd actions, so I turned around and looked for Colin.
I wanted to ask him to wait for me so that we could leave together.
But the person at the window had already silently left when I turned around. My heart became tense.
When did Colin leave? Why didn’t he wait for me? I told him to wait for me!
He must have come to look for me right after getting out of the car since he looked tired. All he wanted to do was give me the candies so I could start eating them right away.
Stepping on a chair, I peered out anxiously and saw Colin’s tall figure gradually fade away from behind the bushes.
