Chapter 34
I hadn’t done anything, so how did I piss off Lilac enough to cause her to come all the way to my house to provoke me?
Lilac’s tears began falling when Felix didn’t come to her defense. She clung onto Felix’s waist and buried her face in his chest, crying pitifully.
“Please don’t be like this. Lulu. I know my father is in prison, and my family isn’t as wealthy as yours. I can’t possibly meet your standards. But I really didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to visit you and
keep you company.
“If you really think less of me, Lulu, then I–I’ll leave right now. I’ll never come and bother you again,” Lilac
whimpered.
What did I do to make her cry so much? How could she be able to cry as if on command? It would surely be a pity if she didn’t get a career in acting.
I got more and more annoyed by the second. I really hated Lilac’s bitchy little waterworks show.
“Thank you for visiting me, Felix. You can both leave now. I’m tired, and I want to rest,” I said faintly.
There was no point talking further if we couldn’t see eye to eye.
My afternoon was ruined by Felix and Lilac just like that. What a pity.
Felix’s expression darkened as anger brewed in his eyes. He stared at me as if angry that I asked them
to leave. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The displeasure in his eyes was clear to see.
Felix looked at the sobbing Lilac and held her in his arms. He kissed her forehead lovingly and said,
Don’t cry, sweetie. Your eyes will start hurting.
“We came to see you out of goodwill, Luna, yet this is what you do? If you really look down on Lili, then we can just stay out of your way from now on. There was no need to insult her like this.”
The first half of his words were directed at Lilac, while the second half was directed at me.
I was infuriated. I had finally seen a new side to Felix now. If Felix were a king, then he would be a terrible
king–the kind who would leave their entire country in ruins with one word from his queen.
Ever since Felix and Lilac arrived, Lilac had been doing all she could to torment me. It was her who
provoked me first.
Felix was a smart man. I was sure he could tell what Lilac was doing, yet there he was, completely
indulging it.
I had only retaliated with a few words, yet somehow, he saw it as insults to Lilac.
Did that mean my parents deserved to be insulted by Lilac, then?
Felix was no longer who I thought he was.
“Are you sure you’re here to see me, not piss me off? Are you deaf? Did you not hear what Lilac said
about my parents?
“I don’t mind if you’re biased, but there should at least be a limit. You two can say whatever you want
about me. I don’t care.
“But you cannot do the same to my parents. I don’t want to argue any longer. You two should leave now.
If there’s nothing important, don’t visit me anymore.”
Felix paused for a moment. Lilac said pitifully in his embrace, “Felix, I really didn’t mean what Luna
thought I meant. She misunderstood me. You must believe me.”
Believe, my ass!
I
I speechlessly watched the scene unfold before me, hating myself for opening the front door to them in
the first place.
It was better to go our separate ways, never to cross paths again!
“Luna, Lili really crossed the line when she spoke about Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel like that. But she
never means the bad things she says. Why do you have to be so unforgiving? Didn’t you have your own
faults?
“You knew Lili’s family wasn’t in the best situation, and her parents are now separated. Yet you still
talked about how wonderful your life was in front of her. Weren’t you just trying to upset her? How did you
turn out like this, Luna?”
At this point, all that was missing from Felix’s comment was how evil I was.
