"How could it not be love? Lulu, stop deceiving yourself. No matter how I treated you, whether I was ignoring you or scolding you, you'd always smile and listen to me. I know you have a special spot for me deep in your heart."Even when I got a tiny cut on my finger, you would cry your eyes out. How could you say that deep feeling isn't love?"Lulu, you love me. You really do. Have you forgotten? I've read your diaries, all of them. They were all about me. You said I was your life, your everything, and that you had to marry me. Did all those words you wrote mean nothing now?"Lulu, do they really mean nothing?"I stepped back in shock, my heart sinking."So you know everything, Felix. You knew, yet you still humiliated me! You belittled me and treated me like a dog in front of so many people. You were so cold. "It was you who killed all the feelings I had for you. It was also you who pushed me further away time and again. What right do you have to blame me now?"Fine. You said
"I won't deny it. After all, I once truly invested my feelings in you. But even the deepest love will come to an end. Felix, if you consider the affection I had for you in our youth as love, then I'm telling you now that I don't love you anymore. "I haven't loved you for a long time. My feelings for you have been battered to shreds, worn away by time. I don't love you. Felix White, listen to me, Luna Lawson no longer loves you.""It's been 18 years. How could you say you don't love me just like that? Luna, do you love him? Do you dare to swear by the heavens that you love him?""I swear that I love Colin White, and I'm willing to be with him for the rest of my life, through thick and thin without wavering. As long as he still wants me, I'll never leave nor forsake him."Actually, I hadn't sorted out my feelings for Colin. But at this moment, Felix's actions had led me to a further understanding of my feelings for Colin.Perhaps falling in love with Colin wasn't that difficult.C
"I don't believe it. You must be lying to me. He couldn't have done so much for you. It's impossible! You're lying, you're all lying to me." Felix staggered, his frail body shivering in the wind as if he would fall at any moment.I didn't want to believe it, but his eyes were filled with profound pain.Such pain couldn't be faked.Suddenly, I wanted to believe that he really liked me.Unfortunately, his affection came far too late."Felix, there was never anything between us. Now, you have Lilac, and you've promised to be with her. Focus your thoughts on her; don't waste them on someone irrelevant like me."Felix, for the sake of our childhood years, let me remind you one last time. We'll never be able to return to the past, so cherish the present."We had attracted quite a crowd of onlookers watching from a distance. I didn't want to become the center of gossip again, so I turned to leave quickly.I didn't know what Felix's expression was. I only heard his cries behind me. "Lu
No, I couldn't agree to Felix's proposal.Lilac was indeed not good enough, but that wasn't a reason for me to hurt her. Felix was her man now. I couldn't be the one who wrecked other people's relationships.I needed to think carefully and figure out my true feelings.Before that, I couldn't casually make my choice between Felix and Colin. Especially with Colin. If I chose him, I had to love him wholeheartedly and consider him the love of my life. He couldn't be a tool to fend off Felix. I had to leave this place and get away from Felix.I needed to think carefully and make the right decision.The 18-year-old Luna Lawson could be capricious, but the 22-year-old Luna Lawson was already an adult. I had to be responsible for every choice I made.Wiping away my tears, I turned and strode away. Unexpectedly, I found myself in a firm yet warm embrace. The man was holding me tightly. His proud head was nestled in the crook of my neck. His warm breath and clean scent of pine calmed
I didn't know who did it, but the words Felix said to me in public on campus quickly reached Lilac's ears. I wasn't sure if the story got twisted along the way.When I walked out of class with the crowd, I spotted Lilac standing against the flow at first glance.She was dressed in a long light blue dress. Her hair, which was previously in a bob cut, had grown past her shoulders and was draped softly on her back. Wearing a pair of white soft-soled leather shoes, she looked both ladylike and exceptionally pleasing to the eye.If not for the significant difference in our heights, I'd almost think I was seeing another version of myself with the way she was dressed. It made me pause for a moment.An answer seemed to emerge, but I quickly dismissed it in my head. No woman would willingly become someone else's substitute, nor would they want to imitate someone else to gain the attention and love of the man they liked.A classmate who was walking behind me bumped into my shoulder with her
Looking at the dark alley, my whole body just broke out in goosebumps. I hesitated at the intersection but thought that it wasn't too late. Besides, the campus had always been safe. I didn't want to scare myself and went straight over.With each step, my anxiety increased.My damned sixth sense seized hold of my unease, letting fear creep into my heart from time to time.Suddenly, I remembered that year when I stumbled upon Lilac and Shawn's affair. I was cornered by him on a dark night like this.Although Colin was right on time and came to my rescue that day, I had been particularly averse to the darkness when alone ever since then.A cold breeze swept over me, rustling the leaves and causing the branches around to sway gently. Fear swept over my senses, and every hair on my body stood on end.The ominous premonition grew stronger.I regretted taking this path.I wanted to turn back and run the way I came, but it was too late.Two men, one tall and one short, approached me w
The immense sense of shame made me tremble violently, and the impending sense of doom left my mind in chaos.I had never been so scared and desperate before!The feeling of helplessness with no one to turn to made me wish for death.The tall man's filthy hand reached up to my shirt collar, his cold fingers touching my neck. Something started to surge violently in my chest. A strong sense of nausea assaulted my tense throat.In the last second before the man's hand tore open my collar, I vomited.The half-digested food, which carried an unpleasant odor, sprayed all over the tall man's chest and arms.After a moment of shock, the man shook his right hand with disgust while cursing me under his breath. The short man pushed me to the ground and began to retch, his hands clutching his knees.Fortunately, I had eaten quite a bit for dinner. Despite feeling dirty myself, it was this undigested meal that helped me temporarily escape the clutches of the criminals.The tall man angrily t
He ran a few steps to my side and helped me up from the ground. His large hands trembled as he wiped away the blood that kept flowing from the corner of my lips. The pain in his eyes was so deep and heavy.He kept apologizing repeatedly and swiftly took off his clothes. He rolled them up to cushion them under my neck. Then, he turned around to join the fight.The two men were already retreating under Colin's furious onslaught. They were seeking an opportunity to escape.With Felix joining in, the brothers became formidable. The two men were both knocked to the ground and continued to be beaten up.They no longer had the chance to escape.I struggled to sit up and assess myself. Thankfully, my clothes were intact. Except for the injury to my tongue, everything else seemed fine.This was the second time Colin appeared when I needed him the most. He kept me safe and protected my innocence.Colin delivered a fierce kick to the taller man. It was only until the two men had completely
