Chapter 120


    I felt guilty that I identally hurt Felix. It made me more annoyed.


    “It’s just a small cut. You’ll be fine after we apply some ointment. I need to send Felix back to get him


    treated. We might bete for dinner. Is it okay?” asked Colin as he let Felix press the alcoholic wipe on


    the wound.

    It was just a simple dinner, not a grand asion. I just needed to inform Mom beforehand. However,


    before I could speak, Felix uttered, “It’s okay. Let’s head to the restaurant. I


    haven’t had dinner.”


    I felt a lot better after I took my frustration out on Felix. He said we could go to the restaurant right


    away, and Iplied. After all, I did hurt him just now.


    Inside the private room, my observant mom noticed Felix’s injury. She quickly asked us what


    happened. Colin grinned silently as I fumbled in my mind toe up with an excuse. Telling her that I


    was asking Felix to return my love letters felt embarrassing.


    Aunt Mel then asked Uncle Austin to get some band–aids. She checked on her son worriedly,


    which made me feel even more guilty.


    As the ancient adage went, mothers knew best. She noticed my unease and poked at my ribs. “You did


    that?”


    “It’s not my fault. He bullied me first,” I exined in a hushed voice.


    “That doesn’t mean you can hit someone.”


    “I know. I just didn’t think it through.”


    “Colin, you were with Felix, weren’t you? How did he get injured?” Aunt Mel was getting anxious.


    Getting no answer from Felix, she turned to Colin.


    It wasn’t Colin’s fault, so I shouldn’t ask Colin to clean up my mess. Meekly, I raised my


    hand and said, “Aunt Mel, I…”


    “I identally ran into a wall. Stop freaking out, Mom.”


    I swallowed the words on the tip of my tongue. Then, I saw Colin doing everything to stifle hisugh. I


    tried but failed horribly, so Iughed out loud.


    Mom pped my head yfully and chided, “Stopughing. Be serious.”


    Iughed even harder after Mom reprimanded me. It was not a crime. Why was she so

    serious? I caught the smile on Felix’s face from the corners of my eyes. He was rocking a band–aid on


    his forehead.


    He wasughing after I hit him. Was he a lunatic?


    Despite Felix’s injury, all of us had a hearty meal. It had been four years since west had such a


    peaceful time together.


    At night, as soon as I stepped into my home, Mom gave me an earful. Amidst the scolding, I ryed


    what I learned to Mom so that she knew how angry I was. However, instead of being mad, she found it


    amusing.


    “Not bad. Matthew has great taste in women. And he’s loyal too. You should consider dating him.”


    “Mom, that’s beside the point. Felix intercepted my love letters. He invaded my privacy. I


    should sue him.”


    “You also assaulted him, so it’s even between you two. Alright. Leave me alone now. Go do your thing.”


    Kicked out by my mom, I had nowhere to go but my room.
