Chapter 321
He was so clean, so pure, and so pleasing to the eye.
Felix seemed to sense my gaze as he turned his head slightly. Upon seeing me, he gave me a faint smile. It was as if he were still the handsome young man from
back then.
The moment our eyes met, my heart stopped. I quickly turned and ran back into
the house.
The current Felix seemed to have too many different sides. His ever–changing nature added to the pressure on my mind. The thought that he might harm me became even stronger.
After lunch, I didn’t feel like staying there any longer. Colin drove me back home
and went home himself.
Both my parents were taking a nap after lunch, leaving me with nothing to do but lay in bed and browse my phone.
Back when I was at Lincoln University, Queenie, Julia, and I formed a small group of three on WhatsApp. Whenever someone had something on their mind, they’d talk about it there. Discussing it together always felt better than keeping it to
ourselves.
And today, I found out about something from Colin that I needed to confirm in the group chat.
Little Blue Fish, “Question, did you guys know about Colin liking me before?”
Queenie replied almost immediately. The Queen, “Everyone on earth knew.”
I was stunned. She even exaggerated it by saying everyone on earth knew. Was I the only clueless one?
Five Dots, “Don’t tell me you didn’t know.”
Little Blue Fish, “…I really didn’t know.”
Actually, it wasn’t entirely accurate to say that I didn’t know. There were several times when I felt Colin was flirting with me regardless of me treating him like at brother. But before I could figure out what was going on, he would revert back to being serious. That gave me no chance to think about it.
More importantly, his image as a good brother was deeply ingrained in my mind back then, so I couldn’t entertain any other thoughts. Even if there were some hints, I would convince myself that I was just overthinking things.
In other words, I had already developed feelings for Colin many years ago. With his tender care and extremely doting nature, he had already occupied a big part of my heart long ago. I just realized it a little late.
That was why I could naturally accept him as my boyfriend.
I used to think that all love stories were like this, but now I realized it was all planned out from the beginning. I had been fooled by him since birth and kept in the dark all along.
The outcome of this conversation was me being grilled by both of them. I was emotionally bruised and battered. I even felt like dying.
And that was not all as Queenie delivered the final flow.
The Queen, “You dense woman! No offense, but if Colin hadn’t made the first move, you might’ve stayed single till you had a head full of gray hair considering. your intelligence.”
Five Dots, “Don’t talk nonsense. She wouldn’t even know who to go after.”
Little Blue Fish,
How could they say that to me? Our friendship was ruined.
A call from Flynn ended the merciless teasing by the two. Queenie blushed and hurried off to entertain Flynn, leaving Julia and me behind. We both felt betrayed.
After putting down my phone and preparing to take a nap, Mom knocked on my door, asking me to help her prepare dinner.
She said since I would be returning to school soon, she would prepare some food. for me while she was not too busy these days. It would save me from constantly
craving, home–cooked meals once I got back to school.
We prepared the food while chatting. Both my parents were very open–minded, and our family was very democratic. Of course, I was also well–behaved. Except for the matter with Felix, I had never caused them any worries.
As we chatted, we talked about Aunt Mel. Mom put down the spatula she was using and looked out the window. Sighing, she said she never imagined that Aunt Mel would one day attack her own daughter with such malicious words.
