I felt even more annoyed because of those things.Felix had started to take action, and Lilac finally revealed the truth. However, it wasn't what I expected.She told lies all the time in the past, but I never took her seriously. Now that she told the truth, it was an increased burden on me. It was so frustrating.Mom asked me why I was unhappy, but I didn't explain. I didn't want my parents to worry about such annoying matters. As an adult, I should learn to solve my problems independently. I couldn't hide under my parents' protection forever.I pondered about it for a long time but got no results, so I decided to let things run its course....Colin video-called me a little late that night. I was nearly asleep when he called. The lights over there were dim, and the surroundings were noisy. He appeared to be attending a gathering."Colin, are you outside?"He rubbed his brows and smiled gently at me. The affection in his slightly drunken gaze was as sweet as honey."Yes, I go
So, did this mean that I could have some private time with Colin? Would this be our first official date?This was quite tempting.Our love was still in the probationary period and still needed further nurturing and understanding.However, there were too many unpleasant things that had happened in his house. Just thinking about it gave me a headache. I really didn't want to go there.Colin was gently coaxing me with his soft and soothing voice, making my head spin. Before I knew it, the car had stopped in front of his house.I felt useless just thinking about it. I was easily persuaded with just a few words.The advertisements posted on the doors and windows of my house were still there. It wasn't that no one was interested in buying my house but that there hadn't been suitable buyers.Since we were not rushing to sell it off, it was fine to wait. After living there for over 20 years, my attachment was particularly deep. Deep down, I knew I wanted to hand it over to the most su
Before I could react, his scent enveloped me. My face was searing hot."Darling, how long is the probationary period? I'm getting impatient," Colin murmured as his nose brushed lightly against my forehead and cheeks.The kisses were gentle and tender, yet sweet as candy. There was an irresistible lingering taste.Afraid of going further, I struggled slightly using all my limbs. But his arms were firmly restraining me like handcuffs while his legs were tightly binding mine like chains, making it impossible to move.I was like a fish caught in a net.My heart was pounding hard. It felt like it would jump out of my throat at any moment.Realizing that there was no escape, I gave up resisting.Gradually, I calmed down and stopped struggling.As I quietly opened my eyes and slowly gazed into Colin's intoxicated eyes, I could see his deep affection for me.His large hand was gently caressing my waist. I could still feel his warmth even through the layer of my sweater."No, Colin. I
Colin chuckled softly. He held me tighter and casually patted my curvy bottom a couple of times. Then, he bit my ear and said, "You're really driving me crazy. When can we sleep together? I'm really impatient."His words made me blush. He started blowing hot air and lightly pecking my ears and neck, tickling me so much that I involuntarily shrank back.For a moment, I really wanted to just give in to him. After all, he would have his way with me sooner or later. There was no need to be so stubborn about things. But then I thought again and told myself not to rush. I convinced myself that the time was not right. I should be reserved."Colin, stop teasing me," I coquettishly protested, pushing away his mischievous head with my hand.The fluffy feeling of his hair against my hand was like that of a big, playful dog.I was afraid that if he continued to tease me, I wouldn't be able to control myself. After all, I had a fetish for good looks and a nice voice. Colin perfectly matched my
Colin stopped tickling me and placed his hands on either side of my body, his forehead against mine. The intoxicating look in his eyes made my heart pound. "Really? Then when will you agree to sleep with me? I've been waiting for so long that I've almost crippled my left hand."As I realized the inevitable connection between his proposal and crippling his left hand, my face turned tomato red. Even though I was inexperienced, I knew what he meant. In this age of the internet, everything was available online. Even if I hadn't experienced something personally, I had seen and heard enough.However, it was a little embarrassing for someone to insinuate such things about me. It was the first time it was happening too. I was a shy person.As I blushed profusely, I felt too embarrassed to look into his eyes. I kept dodging and avoiding them.Bold words could be spoken easily, but actually doing it was not that simple. I wasn't mentally prepared for it.Colin started biting my ear again,
"Go ahead. We'll have lunch at home. I'll take a look if there's anything you like."I had originally wanted to relieve myself. But after being stared at by Felix just now, I couldn't do it anymore. I sat on the toilet in turmoil for a full five minutes, but I still couldn't calm my panicked and fearful heart.Colin knocked on the bathroom door with concern, bringing my scattered soul back. I turned on the tap to wash my hands and opened the door without drying them. Water was still dripping from my fingers.Felix was still maintaining his posture on the couch. He slowly turned his head toward me upon hearing the bathroom door open. He was repeatedly saying in a very soft and cold voice, "...given her heart to him for saving her…"With Colin around, I wasn't afraid of him. But the words he kept repeating made me shudder with fear and unease."Lulu, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you," Felix lowered his head and whispered. Then, he continued, "Lulu, after missing out for so many y
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 somet
"When I was eight, Aunt Mel and her parents moved in next door to your grandma's house. At that time, she was thin and small. She wore ill-fitting clothes and often sneaked a peek at me from the balcony."I've known her for over 40 years now, and I've been best friends with her for almost 30 years. She has really disappointed me. Lately, I've been feeling guilty for letting you be scolded by her in front of so many people."It was all because I was blind and mistook a bad person for a friend."Mom's eyes reddened, so I quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe away her tears.It was impossible not to blame Aunt Mel. After all, the things she said clearly showed that she couldn't stand seeing Colin and me together. She was ready to break us apart.But Mom had been friends with Aunt Mel for decades. They were like sisters despite not being related by blood. Things had gotten to this point. Not only was Mom heartbroken and disappointed, but I was upset as well.I wanted to comfort Mom, but a
