Chapter 397

If that day were to come, I would rather leave by myself. I wouldn’t want to see the Whites again, and I wouldn’t yield to any pressure.

Perhaps Felix understood this point as well as how wrong his actions were, which was why he didn’t insist. He let me go, and he let himself go too after some sincere talks.

It was like dealing with a mischievous child. The more you backed down, the more they pushed forward. Politely speaking, they were spoiled. They would naturally give up after realizing that there was no way out and that their attitude was unreasonable.

It was nearly ten when I returned to the dormitory. Surprisingly, Helen was back.

She was blow–drying her hair and wasn’t surprised to see me back. Her pretty eyes scanned my face several times, as if she was looking for something.

“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s creepy,” I said.

She smirked coldly and teased, “You returned with swollen lips after being pampered by your boyfriend in broad daylight.”

What nonsense was she spouting? When did my lips become swollen? We didn’t even kiss.

I ran over to her in embarrassment, trying to stuff her mouth with her socks. But she escaped and mocked me, “You’re just angry out of embarrassment. But with your boyfriend’s looks, it’s easy to lose control. I totally understand.”

“Get lost. Nothing happened, okay?”

wh are

you so worked up? Don’t tell me you were bitten by mosquitoes?”

I looked in the mirror and indeed, my lips were a little swollen. I must have bitten my lips. during the tense moment earlier. It had nothing to do with Colin!

I was innocent.

Ah, Helen must have been influenced by Matthew.

I naively thought that Felix’s matter was resolved and that my future with Colin would be smooth. However, something happened later that made me realize that it was really hard to let go of love, even being separated.

For a long time after that, I struggled bitterly in that difficult situation, almost drowning myself in tears.

In the evening, Colin took me to the airport to pick Queenie up.

The arrival hall was bustling when I saw Queenie’s petite figure. She had become so thin that it seemed like a gust of wind could easily blow her away. I raised my hand high to wave her over. When she saw me, she quickly dragged her luggage over. We hugged across the railing.

“Queenie, why are you so thin?” I hugged her tightly in public. The bones on her shoulder were poking into my arms painfully.

She had become too thin. How much torment had she endured to become like this? I was so sad, but I tried to hold back the tears welling up in my eyes to prevent her from feeling sad.

How much had she suffered while she was there?

Love was really like a glass of red wine. Some might replace it aromatic and delightful, while others might replace it sour and regret drinking it.

For Queenie, it seemed to be a bit of both.

Back when we were at Lincoln, we were all very close. Even if we hadn’t seen each other for a while, our relationship wouldn’t change.

Colin took us out for dinner.

Queenie didn’t want to at first. She said she was too tired and wanted to replace a hotel nearby to get some rest. I didn’t agree and dragged her to the restaurant.

It was evident that she hadn’t been eating properly for a while. I had to make sure she got her health back.

She might be tired, but would she really rest? She probably just wanted to hide somewhere and cry by herself.

If Flynn was really worth her sacrifice, I would cry with her. But if he was really a scumbag, then Queenie shouldn’t have to shed another tear for him. He didn’t deserve it.

Colin brought us to a local restaurant, which was relatively quiet and secluded.
