Chapter 124
As soon as I spoke, Queenie’s eyes turned red. Tears streamed down her face like raindrops as she cried on my shoulder.
She bit her lip until it turned pale. She was trying hard not to make a sound as her small body trembled slightly. Her sobs choked in her throat, sounding like a whimpering small animal.
“It’s okay. Stop crying. If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to. Have you had dinner yet? Colin ordered food. It’ll be here soon. Eat with me, okay?”
She shook her head, her tears going everywhere. Her cries were breaking my heart into pieces.
After consoling her for a while, the delivery guy arrived. I hadn’t showered yet, so I put on my coat and ran downstairs to pick up the food.
Colin had ordered quite a large package, enough for three people.
That was exactly Colin’s behavior, to always think ahead. Otherwise, Queenie and I might have gone to bed with half–empty stomachs if he had ordered only for one person.
“Queenie, you can cry later. Let’s eat first. Colin ordered ravioli. There’s your favorite meat
and cheese ones too.”
She refused to eat. It took me a lot of effort to stop her tears and make her sit down to have
dinner with me. 1
When Colin’s call came through, I had finished my fourth ravioli. “Is the ravioli delicious?”
“It’s really good.” I deliberately smacked my lips for him to hear.
He chuckled softly on the other end of the line and said, “Don’t eat too much, or you won’t be able to sleep well. By the way, how’s your roommate’s mood?”
Why was Colin suddenly concerned about Queenie’s mood? It seemed weird.
ホ
“What are you thinking? Flynn has been lying in bed since I came back. According to
informed sources, he’s been like this for several days.”
Oh, how could I forget? Flynn and Colin were roommates.
“She’s fine, I guess. She’s eaten five raviolis. It’s just that her eyes look a little swollen, and
she seems tired, like she’s been crying for a long time.”

“Well, you and Queenie get along well. Talk to her. Some things are destined and can’t be changed. It’s important to know when to let go.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Colin’s words left me feeling stifled.
After we all hung out together, we found out that Flynn was from a rich family. His family had money and power as they held a high position in his hometown
This was evident from the luxury car he drove to school
Queenie’s parents were just ordinary office workers with average incomes. Although they were not rich, they had a stable and worry–free life.
With her humble background, it would be hard for her if she were to marry Flynn
Having read a lot of romance novels, I also had an idea of how things worked Children from families like Flynn’s may seem wealthy and unattainable. But in reality, they were quite pitiful They weren’t able to choose their marriage partner
Even if you had tons of money, what was the point of spending a lifetime with someone you didn’t love?
That was their destiny. Their love had no value in terms of benefits. As long as their businesses grew and had more profits, anything could be used as a tool
For wealthy families, their children’s marriages were the most equal and mutually beneficial tool they could build
Flynn probably couldn’t escape from this as well. But Queenie foolishly fell for Flynn. Their love was destined to be difficult.
Love was blind. Once a person fell in love, no matter who it was, they would be like moths to the flame.
Just like myself, Felix, Lilac, and Queenie.
