Chapter 324
As I was brooding over the matter, someone suddenly appeared and stood by our
table.
Everyone, except for Chris, was stunned.
When I saw the person’s face, I couldn’t catch my breath and ended up choking. 1 started coughing badly.
Why couldn’t I even have a peaceful meal? He came uninvited. How shameless could he get?
Colin tightened his grip on my hand under the table suddenly, the frustration on his face evident.
“Felix? Well, what a coincidence meeting you here. If I wasn’t aware of your usual aloof demeanor, I’d think you had followed Colin here.” Zara was quick with her words and did not spare his pride. She made Chris, who was concentrating on his food, give her a few strange looks.
Felix’s appearance successfully diverted Chris‘ attention from the food to Zara.
With such obvious sarcasm, I couldn’t believe Felix couldn’t hear it. She might as well have accused him of being a stalker.
Yet, Felix calmly replied as if he hadn’t heard anything, “What a coincidence, indeed. I was just passing by and saw you guys here. Since I’m a bit hungry too, I came in. But I came uninvited, so I hope I’m not spoiling your mood.
I glanced at the dark road outside the window, feeling speechless.
There were so many restaurants around. Why would he come here? The excuse wasn’t even convincing.
I wanted to say that he had indeed spoiled our mood because seeing his face made me lose my appetite. I wanted to tell him to leave and not to ruin our meal.
But since he didn’t say he came for me, acting too aggressively would seem deliberate. So, I decided to ignore him.
you?”
Felix’s gaze flickered for a moment, as if he wanted to get angry. However, he restrained himself. Then, he raised his hand to call the waiter for another set of tableware and sat directly on my left.
His composure made everyone look at him in surprise.
As soon as he sat down, a familiar scent hit me. I couldn’t help but feel dizzy.
It was the scent of the shampoo Felix often used in high school. It was the one we picked together at the supermarket. Back then, he didn’t like to use it as he found the scent too strong. After Thanksgiving in our senior year, I never smelled this on him again.
Today, he appeared suddenly after using this shampoo. He even deliberately sat
next to me.
There was a time when just smelling this scent made me very happy.
But now that the years had gone by, besides feeling nostalgic, I felt nothing else.
But why was he doing this?
The past was the past. We could never return to it. Felix White, please have some dignity!
Perhaps it was my momentary daze, but Felix turned toward me and smiled lightly. “Do you still remember it? I searched many places for it. This sweet lemon scent is just like you.”
Damn it.
What did he mean?
With a wry smile, I replied, “Should I remember it? By the way, I don’t like lemon. I prefer grapefruit. It’s juicy and has a slightly bitter taste with some sweetness, just like Colin.”
Felix’s hand, which was about to pick up some meat, paused. The muscles on his. cheeks tightened, and I could vaguely see him grinding his teeth.

“Now that you’re here, wouldn’t it seem like we lack manners if we were to reject you?”

I thought he would leave tactfully with such a direct statement. But he was so. shameless. He just stiffened for a few seconds before resuming his actions. naturally. It was as if he hadn’t heard anything as he picked up the beef and put it on the grill.
After putting down the tongs, he even naturally reached out to touch my hair.
