Chapter 323
Zara didn’t apply for postgraduate studies after finishing university but joined apany to work in her
field of studies. It seemed that Chris was working in thatpany as well. Zara went there to be with
her boyfriend.
She was quite proper in everything else, and she hardly ever talked about her boyfriend. She had
mentioned Chris in passing, saying that they had a deep bond as she had fallen for him since
childhood. He was the only one she wanted to
marry.
Chris wasn’t tall but not short either, probably around five feet ten. He had a simple haircut and wore
sses with golden rims. They seemed to have thick lenses, indicating that it was a prescription. Chris
appeared courteous but
somewhat aloof.
This was the first time I met him, but something seemed off.
A normal man would be warm and friendly when meeting the close friends of his girlfriend, but Chris
gave off an indifferent vibe. It was as if he were detached from everything, as if there were an invisible
barrier between us.
No matter how hard we tried, he couldn’t seem to integrate into the group. It could be said that he didn’t
even try. His presence today was probably solely at
Zara’s insistence.
I had met Drew a few times before. He was our senior in high school. I heard that he grew up together
with Jade, so they were childhood sweethearts.
He was entirely opposite to Chris as he was very outgoing, tall, and cheerful. Drew was slightly tanned
and would reveal a set ofrge white teeth when he smiled. He was constantly cooking something on
the grill, barely eating himself. He served Jade generously.
Their interactions were sweet and affectionate.
This made Chris seem even colder. His attention was focused solely on grilling for himself and eating,
as if he was here just for the barbecue. He showed no interest in interacting with Zara or the rest of us.
In contrast, Zara had whispered to him and served him several times. She took meticulous care of him.
“Am I not as good–looking?” Colin whispered in my ear as I stared at Chris. He looked slightly unhappy.
‘No, Colin. You’re the most handsome in the world,” I whispered back.
“Then why are you so focused on him? Aren’t you worried that your ssmate will get jealous?”
“Colin, don’t you think that guy doesn’t seem to like Zara very much?”
Colin lifted his eyes and casually nced over at Zara and Chris. Then, he picked
the bacon he just grilled, dipped it in some sauce, and fed it to me.
up
I felt embarrassed.
Drew had only put food on Jade’s te, but Colin fed me directly!
“Why are you so concerned about others‘ business? Come, open your mouth. Be careful not to burn
yourself.”
I opened my mouth to eat the bacon. Then, he took a tissue to wipe off the sauce from the corner of my
mouth before saying, “Everyone loves in a different way. You can’t generalize things.”
But even so, would someone behavepletely indifferent to the woman they liked? In Chris‘ eyes,
the pieces of meat on his te might be more attractive
than Zara.
I was about to suggest Chris cook something for Zara when Jade subtly shook her head at me, so I
kept quiet.
Beneath Zara’s calm demeanor, there was an undeniable sense of disappointment.
I couldn’t understand why the passionate Zara would be so fixated on such a cold boyfriend. She
deserved someone better, someone who would cherish her.
From Chris‘ behavior, I couldn’t see his liking or attention toward Zara at all.

The one who loved more suffered more. This was a fact.
Zara loved him more, so she had to suffer.
It was like me at 18. I suffered a lot because of my love for Felix.
It seemed my best friend, Zara, would walk down the same path.

That was something I didn’t want to see.
Because my mind was preupied, I became absent–minded. Even the meat didn’t taste good in my
mouth.
