Chapter 152
“Thank you for the compliment.”
As we were meeting again after a long time, we chatted pleasantly. When Felix arrived at the door, his hair was disheveled. He carried an oversized travel bag on his shoulders. He pushed the large suitcase in one hand and carried a big bag in the other.
On the contrary, Lilac followed delicately, only carrying a small bag containing bread.
In my impression, Felix had always been clean and cool. But now, he looked like a refugee fleeing famine.
Seeing him carrying a heavy load and greeting my parents, I tried to hold back my laughter several times,
Aunt Mel’s smile faded a lot when she saw Lilac. She only responded politely to Lilac’s greetings without further communication.
Even though Lilac was in such an awkward situation, she still bit her lip and persisted.
If it were me, I would have left long ago knowing that the host didn’t welcome me. I didn’t want to feel ashamed by staying.
As if Lilac was unbothered, she refused to leave. That was pretty shameless
of her.
“Alright, let’s stop talking at the door. Lulu, come in. We’ve prepared the ingredients.” Mom pushed me and Colin inside.
Felix also wanted to follow us under Lilac’s hint, but Colin stopped him unpleasantly. “Go back to your home. Don’t go to the wrong house.”
After saying that, he followed Dad into my house.
Before the door closed, I saw Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel staring at Colin in confusion. They might have thought he became stupid as he was the one
who had entered the wrong house,
“Colin, why did you come here? Didn’t you tell Felix not to go to the wrong house? This is my house.”
I asked him while throwing the coat I took off into the laundry basket.
Colin washed his hands and went into the kitchen. Then, he picked up a box from somewhere, took out the bottles and jars inside, and placed them on the table. “Don’t you want to eat my sauce?”
“Oh yes, I want to! Are you going back for lunch after making the sauce? Your brother is back with his girlfriend. Today is a good day for your family to have a meal together.”
I leaned on the kitchen door frame, watching Colin make the barbecue
sauce. Handsome men were truly different from others. He even looked so
good when making the sauce,
Colin kept moving his hands, maintaining a half–bowed posture. He teased me while looking at me, “Little girl, you’re still so heartless.”
Mom patted my forehead. “Don’t say nonsense! Colin has been busy buying things and preparing ingredients for this barbecue. He even went to pick you up. He’s tired, but he’s still making sauce for you. You’re really heartless to drive him away!”
“Ah! It hurts! Why did you use so much force? What if you hit me silly?” I rubbed my reddening forehead while arguing with Mom.
Colin looked at me and put down what he was holding. After wiping his hands, he came over to rub my forehead, “Aunt Harper, you did use too much force. It has turned red.”
I patted his hand away and rolled my eyes at him. “Don’t pretend to be a nice person. It’s all because of you that I got beaten and scolded. Hmph.”

“Yes, it’s all my fault, I’m the one who’s stupid to worry and do everything for you. Alright, don’t feel wronged. If you’re hit silly, I’ll take
responsibility, okay? I’ll serve you until you’re satisfied. I’ll never let you be a beggar,” as
I found it difficult to answer him. I subconsciously gulped and went to the living room to watch TV with Dad instead,
