Chapter 235
Felix was rarely strict: He wouldn’t let me refuse.
I knew he meant well, but I just couldn’t accept it.
I had been having so much contact with him lately that we frequently appeared together in front of everyone.
Two people in my apartment had already asked if I had a boyfriend. It showed that Felix and I had captured the attention of others.
If someone were to slander me one day, I was scared my name would be on the love confession wall for all the college’s professors and students to see.
I had a pure conscience and wasn’t afraid of what others said. But since it was unnecessary, I should nip the matter in the bud.
Besides, I had just finished talking to Lilac during the day and went out with Felix again at night. Although there was a reason for everything, I didn’t believe I could properly justify it. In that case, what would others think?
I looked at Felix. His expression was frigid, concealing a trace of gloom.
“Thank you, but I can go back by myself.”
“Luna…”
His expression grew colder, and his tone became rougher and more aggressive.
“Why are you here, Felix? You didn’t even answer my calls. It was difficult for me to find
you.
“I
Before he could continue speaking, he noticed someone running toward him. She had short hair and was wearing a dress.
I recognized Lilac just by looking at her silhouette.
My scalp felt numb. What I was frightened about was actually happening.
In any case, seeing it for herself was preferable to hearing about it from others. I could state everything plainly in front of Lilac to avoid any misunderstandings.
Felix was shocked as he glanced at her. Then, he returned his focus to me. I noticed a trace of panic in his expression.

He asked Lilac, “Why are you here?”
“Felix, I haven’t seen you in a few days. I miss you so much. By the way, I booked a room at the hotel we usually visit. I came to pick you up. Hello, Lulu. It’s so late. Why are you two together?”
She stared at me with clear eyes and spoke to Felix with faint distrust in her voice. When she looked at him, she suddenly transformed into a coquettish woman.
It was astonishing how rapidly her expressions could change.
Felix looked at Lilac indifferently before returning his gaze to me. This time, his gaze was more inquisitive than panicked. His expression confused me.
What was he observing?
“The orientation party will be held tomorrow night. Today is the final practice session, and it just ended. I won’t keep delaying you two any longer. Goodbye.” I needed to make things clear.
When I turned around, Felix was going to say something, but Lilac grabbed his raised arm and dragged him along another path.
At 8:00 pm, there were few pedestrians in the college. The street lights were like devoted guards, leading me safely back to my apartment.
When I entered my room, I was merely met with silence.
It was the third night in a row that Helen hadn’t returned.
Based on recent Instagram stories, she should be with Matthew.
The Loxleys appeared to be up to something vital. Helen, Brenda’s choice for Matthew’s future wife, was following Brenda at all times except during lectures.
It should be a vital test for Helen to see if she could become the Loxley family’s future madam.
