Chapter 155
“Am I not a man?” Colin was a little dissatisfied and aggrieved.
What did he mean by that?
I looked at him nkly. I was still young,
I didn’t mean my age. I meant that I was protected too well by my parents and Colín, so my mental age
was young. I hadn’t learned to think
independently about many things.
After listening to Colin’s words, I pondered. Based on his strong physique and my knowledge of
gender, I could be sure he was male. Why did he ask
such nonsense?
“Matthew’s family is very unusual. His education and growing environment since childhood are beyond
your imagination. Lulu, I’ve never cared about the difference in family background.
“But if you marry into the Loxley family, you’ll suffer. Society has sses. If you marry into a family with
a higher social ss, your future life won’t be good.”
I had thought before about what Colin just said.
My family’s conditions were good for ordinary people. My parents had a good ie, and I was their
only daughter. I was beautiful and talented and graduated from a prestigious university. I would also
have a good job. I had enviable capital.
But the Loxley family was prestigious in Jinovy, and they were bing increasingly powerful in recent
years. Matthew was the eldest son in the family and was responsible for inheriting the family business.
To stabilize his status, his parents would probably find him a well–matcheddy to marry him.

Colin was right. The ss gap between us was too big. It was also why I hadn’t decided to be with
Matthew.
I didn’t want to be a joke in their circle. I didn’t wish to make myself too humble.
“By the way, Colin, do you think I’m ugly or stupid?”
“You’re the most coquettish in Lincoln University.”
Coquettish? It was such an unpleasant word although he was probablyplimenting me.
“Then why have no boys ever pursued me? When I think of this, I feel bad about myself.”
Colin looked enigmatic and didn’t answer me, only pursing his lips.
I didn’t remember when he left. When I woke up, I found nobody was in the except for the refreshing
smell of pine lingering faintly in the air.
It wasn’t until I bathed at night andy on the bed chatting with Zara that I finally figured out what
Colin’s words meant.
Over the years, I had only held his hand. But I treated him as my brother. He
was different from a boyfriend.
wondered whether he asked me that intentionally or if he was flirting with
1. me.
How could that be? I must be overthinking it.
Even if Colin flirted with everyone, he wouldn’t flirt with me. He had always treated me as his most
beloved sister.
Zara didn’te back. She said she was traveling with her ssmates. But when I looked at the
photos she sent, there seemed to be only one
ssmate, and it was a man.
She had just finished showering and was wiping her hair while video-
chatting with me.

Through the dressing mirror beside her, I saw a well–dressed man sitting on the couch with aptop on
hisp. He was frowning while reading
something. The distance was a bit far. I couldn’t see his appearance, but he seemed not as tall as
Colin.
Zara would nce at the mirror from time to time and couldn’t help but smile. There was a sense of
tenderness flowing in her eyes.
s, even a determined woman like her had fallen in love with a bastard.
Was I destined to be single forever?
The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of my phone ringing. I realized that the high school
chat group had be lively.
