Chapter 250
Felix White, the youth I once loved, had vanished from this world–never to be found again.
“You’re wrong. Whether I choose Colin or whoever else, it has nothing to do with you. The page between you and me has been turned long ago. Besides, we never actually got together. And that’s something I believe you’re well aware of, so there’s no need for me to remind you.
“As for whether Colin is suitable for me, that’s for me and him to decide–not you.”
I spoke indifferently, my tone as calm as my demeanor. I didn’t intend to hurt or retaliate against anyone. I was just stating the truth.
However, Felix became anxious.
“Lulu, please be rational. How could a person like Collin, who’s arrogant and looks down on others, genuinely like you? If I had known you’d choose Colin, I wouldn’t have called
Matthew that day.”
Yes, Felix was the one who called Matthew on the day Mrs. Loxley made a scene.
Felix was a talented person, but he was a little shameless.
His behavior was inconsistent. He was clear–headed for one moment but confused the next. He seemed to acknowledge his feelings for me, but he would also indulge Lilac in every possible way.
What exactly was he trying to do? Did he think that he was the main character of the universe, expecting everyone to follow his whims?
I was utterly speechless.
Fortunately, his harsh words during Thanksgiving woke me up. Otherwise, I might have spent my life as a fool being manipulated by him, which would have been so pitiful.
As for Colin, he was the one I was preparing to spend the rest of my life with. I wouldn’t allow anyone to slander him, not even his own brother.
That was just how I was steadfast, loyal, ready to give my partner all my love, fearless of death or injury, and never regretting.
I once wanted to treat Felix this way, but he discarded me like an old shoe.
But Colin treated me sincerely as if I was his world, his treasure.

Leaving the past aside, my choice was quite obvious judging by the actions of the brothers.
“That’s my business, not yours. I won’t allow you to say a bad word about Colin, got it?”
I turned and left, the air feeling unbearably thin with Felix around. It felt suffocating.
“Lulu, are you really going to be with Colin? Have you moved on from me?” Felix roared desperately. His voice was laced with incomprehensible pain.
“Lulu, you loved me for so long. How can you be with Colin? If you’re with him, what about me? Lulu, what do you want me to do?”
He murmured mournfully, sadness spreading in his eyes.
But what was the point of all this?
More importantly, what right did he have to question me now?
He brought up the past after five years. Didn’t he realize that everything between us had already ended back in our senior year of high school?
My life had long since moved on from him!
“Felix, maybe I did truly like you once. After you hurt me, it took me many years to move on, and I was living in pain.
“But now, I suddenly understand that my feelings for you were just a youthful pursuit of something beautiful–like a beautiful dream. Once the dream is over, everything ends and it’s as if it never happened.
“That’s what you are to me. My feelings for you were not love.”
I tried to explain to Felix, even though he must’ve already understood everything as one of the parties involved. There wasn’t really a need to explain anything.
