Chapter 327
That question was a bit tricky, so I dared not answer it casually, Colin had always been like this, using his intelligence to easily expose my foolishness.
Darn it, I was digging my own grave. I brought this upon myself.
“Well, it’d be a coincidence, so I’ll just let it be. Are you afraid he’ll steal me away, Colin? You’re lacking confidence. This is so unlike you. You’re one of the best from Lincoln University. You shouldn’t be like this.
“Hmm, there must be many other guys eyeing a rising star in the world of art like me. If you don’t buck up and boost your confidence, our future seems bleak.”
I pretended to worry and held my chin in my hands. Colin was both amused and angry as he wrapped me in his coat and vigorously messed up my smooth locks.
After struggling to escape from Colin’s clutches and finally breathing the fresh air, I heard a snort from behind. It was Felix. I rolled my eyes while Colin frowned. After a brief exchange of glances, we collectively pretended not to hear
him.
We couldn’t even freely enjoy our intimate interactions. It was annoying and irritating.
After getting off the plane, the three of us took a taxi back to school.
Just as we arrived at the school gate, my worst fear came true.
Taxis weren’t allowed to go into the campus, so we had to get down at the gate.
It was the day students were returning to campus, so there were many people around with their luggage. Most people were wearing hats because of the cold weather. It was easy to overlook even people with familiar faces.
As we got out of the taxi, I waited for Colin to retrieve our luggage. Just then, I saw Shawn passing by on the other side of our taxi, carrying a bright pink suitcase and holding Lilac’s hand.
He was handsome, and she was delicate. They made a very pleasant sight if their identities were ignored.

Lilac probably hadn’t expected this turn of events. When she realized Felix was standing next to her, she stopped in her tracks. Her expression changed rapidly, looking as if she had seen a ghost. She looked hideous.
Shawn also spotted us. Felix and he were standing on either side of Lilac, silently locking eyes in a standoff.
One was sinister and terrifying, the other was indifferent and ruthless.
Lilac, the central figure in this encounter, didn’t dare to raise her head to look at Felix. She trembled and shrank into Shawn’s arms, displaying the same
vulnerable appearance as before.
Back then, whenever Lilac encountered any trouble, she would hide behind Felix and he would brave any danger to protect her. The woman he had protected for so many years had played him for a fool. She was now seeking refuge in the arms of her childhood sweetheart.
I wondered what Felix felt when he saw this. If it were me, I would have exploded
in anger.
A betrayal would always be a betrayal regardless of the excuses and reasons. It was unforgivable.
Colin and I had planned to take our luggage and leave, but Shawn showed up. We were worried about Felix and decided to stay and wait for him.
If Colin and I had to choose sides, we would definitely stand by Felix.
The silent standoff lasted for a good two minutes. Shawn and Felix were staring daggers at each other.
It wasn’t until Lilac felt weak in the knees and was about to fall that Shawn took
her and left.
The sight of them holding each other was downright arrogant.
Felix was still staring in their direction even after they had walked far ahead. He narrowed his eyes, and the air around him turned gloomy.
Once again, I couldn’t understand what Felix was thinking.
“Let’s go in.” Colin broke the silence,
Feliz grunted, retracting his gaze and quickly walking away with his luggage. He soon disappeared into the crowd,
“Colin, Felix is a little scary. Do you think he’ll do something stupid?”
