Chapter 325

Colin swiftly extended his arm to protect my head, so Felix’s hand landed on Colin’s arm. His expression turned dark immediately.

Zara couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Even Chris‘ eyes had a hint of amusement in them.

Felix shook his head again dismissively as he said with a small laugh, “You little

rascal.”

His doting tone gave me goosebumps all over.

I had known him for 20 years. Even during his sweetest time with Lilac, he never spoke to her in such a tone.

Would someone change so much after being beaten once? Shawn must have

beaten him too hard.

Feeling uncomfortable, I shifted slightly toward Colin. He was already very close to me since he was cooking for me, but with my movement, I ended up in his

embrace.

When I realized I was too close and tried to move away a little, it was too late. Colin raised an eyebrow as he deepened his smile and pulled me closer.

Felix paused for a moment before smiling suddenly and lifting his head to speak to me. “Lulu, Aunt Harper said you haven’t packed your luggage. She wants you to go home soon.”

I almost burst out laughing at this. Jade and Zara both looked disgusted. Even Drew became speechless.

How could Mom tell him about my luggage when she knew I was out with Colin, especially since she also didn’t like Felix as much now?

Felix couldn’t even come up with a proper lie. It seemed that this was his limit.

However, I was angry at him for provoking Colin’s dignity in front of my friends.

The anger I had been suppressing erupted suddenly. I spouted, “Why do you care

*BONUS

If I go lack early or late? What has it got to do with you? Are you just bored out of vour mind?”

Jade slammed her fork on the table, expressing her support. “I’m not eating anymore. I’ve lost my appetite.”

Colin sald calmly, “Fells, when we came out, I already assured Aunt Harper that I would safely escort Lalu home. If she specifically asked you to come, I’ll call her now to clarify”

Felix’s face fell. Hearing us speak so ruthlessly, his eyes darkened. His hand resting on the table had clenched into a fist. This was his unhappy expression. He lowered his head and remained silent.

After a while, just when we thought he would storm out, he lifted his head again. Ignoring Colin’s words, he smiled gently and said, “Alright, Lulu. Don’t get angry. Hurry up and finish your meal. Don’t let Aunt Harper wait for too long.”

“I have Colin taking care of me, so you don’t have to worry. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave. Just let us enjoy our barbecue and chat, okay?”

“Okay, you guys enjoy your meal. I’ll just sit here for a while. It’s a bit far from my house, and it’s hard to get a cab, so I’ll just go back with Colin.”

We were speechless.

During that meal, Felix endured everyone’s disdainful glances and stayed until

we were done.

When we got to the car, he quickly took the front passenger seat with the advantage of his height and locked the car door directly after settling in.

I was dressed in light clothing and had gotten sweaty during the barbecue just now. So, standing outside the car in the chilly winter made me shiver instantly. The cold breeze easily penetrated my clothes, causing me to hug myself

involuntarily.

“Felix, that’s my seat. Go to the back.” I stood on the side of the front passenger door, angrily confronting Felix and refusing to go to the back seat.
