We could no longer return to the past.Why would you behave like this, Felix?"Lulu, everything's fine now. Cheer up. I like the old fearless you better." Matthew stood in front of me, his tall figure casting a shadow over me.The moment I looked up, I saw a faint glimmer in his eyes that had a mix of anticipation, fondness, concern, and resignation.Indeed, there was an insurmountable gap between him and me, making both of us helpless.I could only dryly thank him for his repeated assistance.He raised his hand as if he wanted to ruffle my hair, but he changed the direction of his hand to pat his own neck after seeing Colin's dark expression. "There's no need to thank me. If you ever need anything in the future, you can always look for me. George still has other matters to attend to. I'll also take my leave now."After I bade George farewell, the two of them turned and left with an arm on each others' shoulders."Thank you!" Colin shouted after them.Matthew's figure paused
"Who says I'm gonna marry you? Don't forget you're still on probation."Colin looked at me dotingly, saying that he could wait until I willingly gave myself to him. Then, he would announce to the world that I was his woman.Everything related to the car accident finally came to an end. The past few months' struggles had made everyone upset.Fortunately, the outcome was what everyone wished for.Colin explained the situation about Felix faking his injuries to Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel. They decided to come over on a weekend. Colin went over to the rental house as well, saying that he wanted to clarify everything with Felix in front of their parents.…It was raining lightly that day. After we went to the airport to pick Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel up, I returned to the school dormitory.Colin suggested I stay at his house, but I refused. I was worried that they might talk for a long time in the rental house, and he would be too tired if he insisted on rushing back.Besides, if he
I answered the incoming video call, and my eyes fell on Queenie's thin and haggard face. I found it to be a painful sight. Since Felix's surgery, I had been busy drawing and finding time to take care of him. My mood became so depressed that I even lost contact with my close friends.Whenever someone called, I was not in the mood to talk much and would hang up quickly.I didn't expect that in just two months of not seeing each other, Queenie would become so thin. The weariness and sadness in her eyes were so heavy that she no longer looked like a woman in her early 20s.She looked more like an elderly person who had experienced life's hardships.She had always been a positive and optimistic person. She had a particularly straightforward personality. The only thing that could torment her like this would be love.Since college, Queenie and Fylnn had been entangled with each other. They had been through many ups and downs over the years. If someone were to say that there was no bo
After hearing Queenie's words, I was furious. For the first time in my life, profanities slipped out of my mouth.What kind of people were they? They fabricated accusations against others. Who gave them the right to do that? Was it just because they were wealthier? Money was a good thing, but it was meant to improve lives, not to be used as a tool to attack and oppress others."Flynn…" Queenie cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. She stammered her words, "When they came to cause trouble, all the employees were having a meeting in the lobby. There were more than a hundred people, and they were all just watching me being scolded like that. "Even those colleagues who had a good relationship with me were pointing fingers at me. It was as if I had really done something disgraceful."But that's not the point. I don't care how others view me. My main concern is Flynn."When he rushed over, I had just slapped that woman. Her mother came over and grabbed my hair. She pressed
Queenie cried so hard that she couldn't speak. Tears streamed down her thin face as she cried, feeling immense pain and despair. "Flynn is just a bastard. You love him so much. How could he do that to you?"I was a soft-hearted person and couldn't stand seeing others cry. Queenie was crying so sadly that I couldn't help but cry too. I felt sorry for her pure heart and for the sake of all the good times we had shared over the years.I really couldn't believe that the charming and sometimes unruly Flynn, who swore to love Queenie for a lifetime, turned out to be a scumbag.And the silly Queenie was truly hurt this time."Lulu, I don't want to love him anymore. I want to leave this place and never look back again." Her painful cries buried her bright self, and in its place, there was only deep despair. Flynn Hayes, look at what you did. You'd better not regret it. Otherwise, even if you realized you were wrong, there would be no chance for redemption."If you've made up your mind
"What's so difficult about it? It all depends on Flynn's decision."After a moment of silence, Colin said, "Flynn naturally wants to have the best of both worlds, but reality won't allow it to happen. His family is pressuring him, causing a lot of mental stress. He even suffered from alcohol poisoning twice. He's not having it easy."After listening to his words, I felt a mix of emotions.Was it really so difficult to make a choice? If Flynn wanted wealth and power, he should choose the Hayes. If he wanted to stay with Queenie, then he should just choose her. It was just a matter of A or B. The difficulty lay in Flynn's excessive greed and desires.In other words, it was not that Queenie wasn't important enough to him, it was just that wealth and power were more attractive. Suddenly, I realized that Flynn was never the right person for Queenie. They were just too young back then and at the age where love reigned supreme. They failed to realize the cruelty of the real world.Now
"Hmph, I don't care. You always side with Flynn anyway. Men always side with men. Oh, by the way, Queenie's coming over tomorrow. I've asked her to stay with me. So, you should move back to the dormitory. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight."With a firm resolve, I hung up the phone without hesitation. I stared at the darkened screen with frustration.After a while, I noticed Helen staring at me with an ambiguous expression. "What? Are you falling in love with me?" I pretended to be afraid and pulled the blanket over myself while watching her every move vigilantly.Helen shook her head and clicked her tongue. "As expected, the favored ones are always emboldened. Something must be wrong with Colin's eyes. How did he fall for you?""You're the blind one. Take this." I threw a plush toy at her, hitting her butt accurately.After turning off the lights and getting ready to sleep, I heard a notification from my phone. I opened my phone and saw a text from someone. The profile picture was
It was not like I could choose not to go.I had no classes in the morning. Colin, who was familiar with my schedule, dropped me off in the corridor.Felix was already there, dressed in a set of black clothes. His hair was neatly trimmed with each strand standing upright, adding a touch of stubbornness to his sharp appearance."Go ahead. I'll wait over there." Colin pushed me forward and pointed to the bench outside the corridor."Lulu, you're here." Felix turned around. He was tall, with handsome features and sparkling eyes. Despite the melancholic air around him, he still resembled the youthful him of the past.I nodded and responded lightly, "Colin said you wanted to see me. What's the matter?"Felix seemed taken aback for a moment and then glanced at Colin sitting on the bench. A self-deprecating and obscure look flickered in his eyes. "Lulu, why did you fall in love with Colin?""There's no reason. Love is just love. Just like how you fell for Lilac. Speaking of which, I mus
