Chapter 108


    I’d love to tell Felix what I saw, even though he had hurt me in the past. We grew up together, so I


    didn’t


    want him to get hurt. Yet, I found it hard to do that because he didn’t trust me.


    Perhaps feeling ufortable under my intense scrutiny, he covered my eyes and offered to buy me a


    meal. I turned him down right away. What happenedst time still traumatized me. I didn’t want to relive


    it again.


    “Why not? Is it because of what happenedst time? Don’t worry. It’s winter now. It won’t rain as much.


    Come with me. I don’t want to be all alone.”


    “Felix, you have a girlfriend. Lc doesn’t like me. We should avoid hanging out together in case she


    gets


    the wrong idea again.”


    “Luna, you’ve changed. We grew up together. You used to follow me around except for when we slept


    or


    went to the toilet. Why are you shunning me now?” protested Felix.


    I chuckled. “You chose to forsake our past.”


    Felix was stunned. The silence dragged on for a while until he decided to leave my house. I watched


    his retreating silhouette and felt indifferent. I supposed we had ended things together. From now on, we


    were just neighbors.


    The next day, when I went out to do grocery shopping with Zara, I saw Lc’s mom in the supermarket.


    She was carrying two bags of fresh food ingredients. She seemed to be preparing for a sumptuous


    meal. I watched coldly as she blitzed past me. A mix of emotions invaded me.


    “Isn’t that Lc’s mom? How can Lc and she finish all that food?”


    “Felix told me that Lc and her mom had gone back to Northpool to visit their family.”


    Zara’s eyes widened. Her jaw fell on the floor. “Am I imagining things, then?”


    Nope. We definitely saw Lc’s mom. Lc lied. She didn’t go back to Northpool. I thought I knew why.”


    Let’s visit her house,” I suggested.


    Not one to turn away from drama, Zara and I hailed a cab and followed Lc’s mom. Lc lived in the


    neighborhood adjacent to mine. I could travel to her ce within 20 minutes on foot.


    But we arrived a bit toote. When we alighted from the cab, we saw Lc and another man appearing


    from the house. They helped Lc’s mom carry the grocery bags and went back in cheerfully. I

    recognized the man–it was Shawn.


    “I knew it,” I sniggered. She lied to Felix so that she could get nasty with Shawn. Lc’s shamelessness


    was a league of its own.


    “That guy, who is he?” Zara questioned.


    “Childhood friends who can’t date each other.” I didn’t want to divulge anymore because I didn’t want


    Zara to have a bad image of Felix.


    “Sheesh. Lc sure is bold. What if Felix saw her?”


    “Zara, should I tell Felix?”


    “Hell no! Who are you to tell him? Besides, will he believe you? Lulu, you’ve finally left him. Don’t get


    involved in his private life again. Just go on with your separate life.”


    Everyone thought the same. Was I wrong to want to help Felix?
