"Okay, I believe you, and I forgive you," I said sincerely.


    Felix seemed surprised that I was willing to forgive him this time. He looked at me with astonishment,


    but seeing that I was serious, he quickly believed my words.


    A beautiful smile formed on his lips as he said happily in a soft voice, "Thank you, Lulu. After being


    such a jerk, you''re still willing to forgive me. Thank you."

    He choked up on his words.


    I smiled and said, "It''s nothing. We grew up together as childhood friends, after all."


    This time, he smiled happily, revealing his canine teeth. He looked cute.


    Mom came out at this moment, carrying arge bag in her hands. It was full of freshly baked bread. It


    was still warm, and small droplets of water began to form inside the bag.


    "Here, these are freshly baked. Eat them while they''re warm. They taste especially good."


    Felix stood up and took the bag. Then, he politely thanked Mom, "Thank you, Aunt Harper. I''ll go back


    now. If you need anything, feel free to call me anytime."


    It wasn''t until Felix left that Mom turned to talk to me. "I''m not sure what to do with you two now. If it


    weren''t for our past rtionship, I wouldn''t want you guys to meet at all.


    "But he saved your life. No matter the reason, he did save you, and I''m grateful to him for that. But


    then, he pretended to be sick to pressure you. So whatever feelings I had for him disappeared again.


    "Your dad and I have discussed this several times and decided to cut contact with them. But Mel calls


    me every few days, and Felix alsoes over every now and then, always bringing something for us.


    His attitude is hard to refuse.


    "Since he personally makes the visit, we can''t be too rude and heartless. So I''d always prepare


    something to let him bring back as a gift."


    "Mom, what you''re doing is right. It''s impossible to restore things to how they were before. Even


    wounds would leave scars. But I don''t hold onto the past anymore. Now, I just want to live each day


    well. It doesn''t matter if we meet or not."


    Dad came out from the study and praised, "That''s my daughter. But you''re being snatched away by the


    other one from the Whites. Thinking about that makes me feel resentful. Why him?"


    Thinking about the other one from the Whites who would being back soon made me feel sweet


    inside.


    There was no helping it. He was the only man who had my heart among all the men in the world. And


    since the doubts about his rtionship with Jasmine had been sessfully dispelled by him, all that


    was left was the daily growing affection.


    That was our fateful bond.


    After talking to Mom and before Dad could speak, I went back to my room on my own.


    I didn''t know what kind of love potion Mom gave to Dad, they were still as sweet as ever even after


    being married for over 20 years.


    After showering, Iy on the bed to read a novel. Colin video-called me soon after. Seeing that I was at


    home in Southsville, he was surprised for a moment before saying in a mischievous tone, "You''re home


    so soon? Are you waiting for me to go back this weekend? It seems like my baby''s missing me so


    badly."


    With just one sentence, he was making me a little shy.


    "Of course, I miss you a lot. Colin, you video-call me three times a day at every meal. Are you afraid I''ll


    really forget what you look like?"


    It was not only Colin who knew how to tease people; I could do it too.
