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
"Everything I did was just because I wanted to be with you. I just used the wrong way. Everything in the past was my fault. Give me a chance to make it up to you and love you properly, okay?"Okay? No.I was so frustrated.At this moment, I could confirm that Felix indeed had psychological issues. He was either suffering from depression or was paranoid. Otherwise, he would understand my clear rejection.Mental illness was still an illness. When it started to affect one's life, it had to be treated.I rubbed my temples helplessly and said impatiently, "Let me say this one last time. Please remember never to ask me this question again because I'm really annoyed. I don't like you—not now and not in the future."So I won't be with you, ever. Don't do these meaningless things anymore. Apart from annoyance, I feel nothing else."Felix's tall and thin figure swayed as if he had been deeply wounded. He stumbled slightly as if he were disappointed by me. The light in his eyes dimmed, tur
We didn't really talk much, nor did we delve deeply into the matter. Somehow, my anger toward Felix's feigned illness dissipated just like that.I suddenly realized that I didn't actually hate him. As he was Colin's family, he would become mine too in the future.There shouldn't be hatred between family members.Colin lifted my chin and gave me a sly smirk. This melted me immediately. I leaned into him, naturally wrapping my arms around his waist.This seductive temperament of his was truly alluring."Tired?""Mm.""Seems like you're not fit enough, my wife. You need to work out more," Colin teased me with a smirk.My face flushed. We hadn't reached that stage yet, but it was necessary to make it clear to him. I was solving a problem for him too."When will you stop eavesdropping like that?""I was sitting so far away. How could I possibly eavesdrop? A certain someone must have spoken so loudly that even I could hear it so far away. You can only become his sister-in-law after
If that day were to come, I would rather leave by myself. I wouldn't want to see the Whites again, and I wouldn't yield to any pressure.Perhaps Felix understood this point as well as how wrong his actions were, which was why he didn't insist. He let me go, and he let himself go too after some sincere talks.It was like dealing with a mischievous child. The more you backed down, the more they pushed forward. Politely speaking, they were spoiled. They would naturally give up after realizing that there was no way out and that their attitude was unreasonable. It was nearly ten when I returned to the dormitory. Surprisingly, Helen was back.She was blow-drying her hair and wasn't surprised to see me back. Her pretty eyes scanned my face several times, as if she was looking for something."Why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy," I said.She smirked coldly and teased, "You returned with swollen lips after being pampered by your boyfriend in broad daylight."What nonsense w
