Furthermore, many classmates from the university would attend Julia's wedding. It was inevitable that some of them knew Flynn. What if they caused trouble for Queenie?Later, Julia told Henry, and he said that Queenie shouldn't keep avoiding things. She had to be strong and courageous to face the future and face herself properly. Julia thought it made sense and decided to break the news."Yes, I think so too. The three of us lived together for four years. We can't miss each other's wedding. Besides, the news would eventually spread. Once Queenie found out that you didn't invite her, she'd be upset. Although your intentions were good, it'd hurt our friendship."I wanted to say more, but Julia cut me off abruptly, saying, "Lulu, my husband's back. Talk to you later. Bye."Looking at the darkened screen, I felt a pang of annoyance. I sent a message to scold her for being heartless.After waiting for a while and not getting a response, I went to sleep, feeling lonely.In the middle o
I deliberately stopped mid-sentence to see how she would respond.She had been in a slump for too long because of Flynn. It was time for her to return to her true self."What would happen? I'd get upset? I've reflected on a lot during my recuperation, and many things have become clear to me. I've finally bid farewell to the past, especially after losing the baby. "Julia's wedding came at the right time. Everyone's been feeling down lately because of my matters. Let's use Julia's wedding as a chance to have some fun and dispel the gloom."Flynn had turned himself from someone Queenie loved deeply into her misfortune through his actions.This was quite good."Indeed, Queenie. I'm happy for you."She patted my hand and said, "Lulu, you've been worrying about me a lot during these times. Thank you. I'm very fortunate to have you by my side. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what to do. "And Colin too. I couldn't express my gratitude directly, so please convey it on my behalf. When
Andrew disappeared for several days without a trace. He didn't even inform Queenie. So, he really needed to explain this. No matter how busy he was, he should have time to at least send a text.Such behavior was definitely not advisable if he wanted Queenie to be happy with him for the rest of her life.Unfortunately for me, I saw Felix and Lilac as soon as I reached the school gate. However, their roles seemed to be reversed.In the past, Felix would fawn over Lilac, doing everything for her.Now, he was standing with his hands in his pockets. He was cold and indifferent, with impatience evident on his face.Lilac seemed oblivious to Felix's indifference. She was clinging to him and rubbing herself against him all over.And she kept on talking with tears streaming down her face, putting on a pitiful appearance.In the past, this move always worked on him.I moved to the side, wondering what Felix would do next. Since I had nothing much to do, I might as well watch the drama un
Honestly, I was quite shocked. I didn't expect him to say something so tasteless.The Felix I knew was a bit indecisive and couldn't always distinguish right from wrong, but he had always been upright and clear-minded. I had known him for over 20 years, and this was the first time I heard him cursing someone—and it was someone he had once loved so deeply.What changed him? Was it hatred?Lilac originally just wanted to find a way out for herself. Otherwise, given her reputation, her being pushed to the ground like this could easily make headlines in the school forum. It would make her the center of a new round of gossip.Now, she urgently needed to find someone to rely on and save her from her failed and humiliating life.Felix was probably the safety net she had chosen.She was barely surviving like a rat in a gutter now. If she faced another setback, I didn't know what she would become.So, when she was publicly rejected by Felix, she chose the stupidest way to degrade herself
I quickly pushed the matter to the back of my mind after locking my phone and putting it away.If Colin was not trustworthy, then who could I trust? Felix? That was just nonsense.Even if there came a day when Colin was no longer worthy of my trust, I would use my own heart to understand the situation and decide. I would not let an unrelated person make such random comments to make me water.I still couldn't figure out why Felix would want to frame his own brother like that.Had he become a fool?At noon, after class, I unexpectedly ran into Helen.Come to think of it, we hadn't met for almost three months. We had only stayed in touch through calls and texts and greeted each other from a distance on campus, but our communication had been much less frequent than before.We had talked about getting together several times, but it had always been delayed by this and that, so we hadn't really been able to meet up.As people said, chance encounters were better than planned meetings.
Helen looked back at him in surprise, a hint of joy gradually appearing in her eyes. She blushed and quickly held his hand, leaning against his arm. Then, she said with a smile that she wanted to eat barbecue.She arrogantly glanced at me from the corners of her eyes where Matthew couldn't see. She was obviously flaunting me.This woman, she really cracked me up.Matthew rubbed the back of her head and rested his hand on her shoulder. Then, he nudged her into the back seat of the car.Suddenly, I felt like I might have unintentionally become a third wheel.If it weren't for me, Helen would be sitting in the front passenger seat.She sat with me together in the back and seemed a little lost in thought. She would occasionally steal glances at Matthew through the rearview mirror. Whenever their eyes met and she saw his smiling face, she would quickly avert her gaze and pretend to look outside. She was both cute and awkward.It seemed that her heart was fluttering.I watched them f
Out of sight, out of mind. This felt nice.I changed into a light blue dress and tied my hair into a bun at the back of my head to appear more mature. Then, I put on a shiny headband and let a few strands of hair fall gently on both sides of my face. I applied a light-colored lipstick and lightly brushed my eyebrows. Overall, it made me charming and elegant.When the professor saw me, he looked slightly amazed. Then, he began to complain about how his wife didn't give birth to a daughter. He complained that his son was useless and just caused trouble. Having a sweet daughter would be much better.Upon arrival, I realized it was a gathering of high-society elites. The so-called high society actually consisted of two main groups. The first was those who were more toward wealth and power, and the second was those with deep family and cultural backgrounds.Previously, Colin mentioned that the Kings where the professor was from had a history of over 200 years. They had connections wit
Mrs. Loxley was wearing an elegant sapphire blue dress, embroidered with patterns in the same color scheme. She wore her hair up with a tiara-like hairpin on her head while the tassels on her earrings sparkled. She held her head high as if only by doing so could she appear superior to me.But what she didn't know was that there had never been any competition between us. Everything was just her own presumptions. I felt sorry for Matthew for having such a person as his mother.I had been shuffling between people with the professor and hadn't noticed her presence until now. Seeing her, I just felt annoyed.Jinovy was so big. How could I bump into her so easily?What a small world!The arrogant Mrs. Loxley obviously recognized me too. Standing proudly among a group of middle-aged women, she looked at me with caution, resistance, and a hint of surprise.But whatever she had in mind, it had nothing to do with me. I simply didn't want to deal with her at all. So, I just looked past her
