hapter 315


    I felt even more annoyed because of those things.


    Felix had started to take action, and Lc finally revealed the truth. However, it wasn’t what I expected.


    She told lies all the time in the past, but I never took her seriously. Now that she told the truth, it was an


    increased burden on me. It was so frustrating


    Mom asked me why I was unhappy, but I didn’t exin. I didn’t want my parents to worry about such


    annoying matters. As an adult, I should learn to solve my problems.


    independently. I couldn’t hide under my parents‘ protection forever.


    I pondered about it for a long time but got no results, so I decided to let things run its course.


    Colin video–called me a littlete that night. I was nearly asleep when he called. The lights over there


    were dim, and the surroundings were noisy. He appeared to be attending a gathering.


    “Colin, are you outside?”


    He rubbed his brows and smiled gently at me. The affection in his slightly drunken gaze was as sweet


    as honey.


    “Yes, I got together with some high school ssmates. We just came out. I wanted to bring


    you along, but it was toote. I was worried that it would affect your rest.”


    “Who is it? Is that your girlfriend? Let me have a look.”


    A hand appeared on the screen. Someone tried to snatch the phone from Colin’s hand, saying he


    wanted to meet me. I was so startled that I lifted the quilt to cover myself, only exposing the part above


    my eyes.

    I had just taken a shower, so my hair was disheveled. I was also wearing cartoon–patterned pajamas.


    I’d be embarrassed if Colin’s ssmates saw that.


    Colin smiled even more joyfully when he noticed me hiding under the quilt. He inquired about my day


    as he pushed away his ssmate, who attempted to seize his phone.


    Unexpectedly, his ssmate was quite persistent and clung to Colin as if he wouldn’t stop until he saw


    me.

    I wanted to tell Colin about Felix and Lc, but the timing wasn’t ideal. Moreover, it was inappropriate


    for outsiders to know about such things. He’d feel embarrassed.


    Forget it. It wouldn’t be toote to tell him tomorrow.


    However, a small decision could always result in a significant shift.


    Colin came downstairs to fetch me up as soon as I awoke, telling me he wanted to surprise.


    1. me.


    I cheerfully got into the car and followed him to a cafe.


    He arranged for me to sit by the window with some coffee and cake. He sat on the other side with a


    middle–aged man, discussing something.


    While talking, the middle–aged man opened his briefcase and took a stack of documents. Then, they


    signed it and shook hands formally before saying farewell and agreeing to go somewhere afterward. I


    couldn’t hear it well because they were far away.


    After sending the middle–aged man away, Colin sat opposite me with a file bag, watching me eat


    intently.

    “What is that?” I chewed on the cake and fixed the file bag, longing to take a look.


    He pressed against my forehead to stop me. “I’ll tell youter. Don’t move. Eat well, or you’ll choke.”


    After eating, I asked him where he was taking me. He said he’d take me to his ce.


    I felt a headacheing.


    I loathed his family as I had too many unhappy memories of them. The people I didn’t want to see were


    basically at his house.


    “I don’t want to go.” I pouted.


    Of course, Colin knew what I was thinking. He smiled gently and held my hand. “My parents went to


    meet some friends. They probably won’t be back today. Felix’s ssmates came over, and he left


    earlier than I did.”
