Chapter 393
“Hmph, I don’t care. You always side with Flynn anyway. Men always side with men. Oh, by the way, Queenie’s coming over tomorrow. I’ve asked her to stay with me. So, you should move back to the dormitory. I’m going to bed now. Goodnight.”
With a firm resolve, I hung up the phone without hesitation. I stared at the darkened screen
with frustration.
After a while, I noticed Helen staring at me with an ambiguous expression.
“What? Are you falling in love with me?” I pretended to be afraid and pulled the blanket over myself while watching her every move vigilantly.
Helen shook her head and clicked her tongue. “As expected, the favored ones are always emboldened. Something must be wrong with Colin’s eyes. How did he fall for you?”
“You’re the blind one. Take this.” I threw a plush toy at her, hitting her butt accurately.
After turning off the lights and getting ready to sleep, I heard a notification from my phone. I opened my phone and saw a text from someone. The profile picture was a guy in a baseball cap who was flashing a mischievous smile. “I’ll pick you up for breakfast tomorrow.”
I smirked smugly and put my phone aside.
Yes, I was favored and pretty emboldened. Anyone who wasn’t satisfied could just come at me.
The next morning, Colin picked me up on time for breakfast. Somehow, we ended up talking about Felix and their conversation the previous day.
Colin said their parents found out about Felix faking his illness. Uncle Austin slapped Felix while Aunt Mel scolded him harshly.
Felix remained silent throughout and refused to admit his wrongdoings. In the end, their parents decided to take him back to Southsville. They wanted him to recuperate for a while before returning to continue his studies.
“But he’s fine now, isn’t he? Why bring him back to Southsville?” I asked, feeling puzzled.
The subjects for the first and second years of postgraduate studies were quite difficult, and students were required to participate in many research projects. Many started their own businesses while they were studying. Once Felix applied for a leave, he would fall behind his
peers.
There were plenty of talented individuals in graduate school. Catching up would be difficult for him. How could Felix allow himself to lag behind others with that pride of his?

“My parents suspect that he has psychological issues and want to bring him to a psychologist. This will also prevent him from doing anything excessive in the future.”
That made sense. Psychological illnesses could affect a person’s character and behavior. Felix’s irrationality did suggest some psychological obstacles. After all, a normal person wouldn’t do the things he did.
In my heart, although I didn’t love him romantically, I still hoped that the guy who spent 18. years with me would remain true to his pure and innocent heart.
“Oh, then tell Uncle Austin that I can cover the medical expenses if needed. Felix got injured trying to save me, so I should bear the medical bills.”
Colin pinched my nose affectionately and kissed the tip of my nose lightly as he teased, “You
with must really be a rich young woman to speak with such confidence. Don’t worry, your hubby here, you won’t have to spend any money.”
I buried my reddened face and concentrated on the soup in front of me. I glanced at Colin with a hint of annoyance. “You’re not my hubby. Stop talking nonsense.”
Colin’s unabashed demeanor was becoming more and more evident. First, he changed his status from being my brother to becoming my boyfriend. Now, he was trying to upgrade his status from boyfriend to husband, as if everything was under his control.
Although I had decided to marry no one but him, that wasn’t a good enough reason for him to be so cocky.
He was too full of himself.
“Lulu, Felix… wants to see you before he leaves. Will you… see him?”
