Chapter 59
Lilac was vain and cared a lot about her image. Her expression shifted as she listened to my words.
She deviated from her usual gentle and delicate demeanor that she always put on in front of Felix. Instead, she grew frustrated visibly, her eyes practically blazing with anger.
“Luna Lawson! I’ll tell Felix if you don’t treat me,” she threatened.
“Go ahead. Tell anyone you want. Tell the world if you can.”
A chorus of laughter erupted from the onlookers, clearly relishing in the fact that I was refusing to
compromise with Lilac.
It turned out they were just a bunch of fake sororities.
Lilac seethed with anger as she dialed a number on her phone. Felix picked up the call just as she put it on speaker, ensuring that everyone could listen to their conversation..
“Felix.” Lilac’s voice maintained its usual sweetness, though there was a hint of grievance. “I’ve just
arrived at the school and wanted to let you know.”
“Are you okay? You sound a bit hoarse. Do you have a cold?”
“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that my classmates and I are craving barbecue, but Lulu…” Her voice trailed off, and she glanced at me, pretending to struggle with her words.
There she went again!
I grabbed the phone and interjected, “Felix, is it? Your girlfriend has asked me to treat her entire class to the barbecue, but it’s beyond my budget. That’s the whole story. You can carry on.”
Lilac’s mouth hung wide open in embarrassment. She probably didn’t expect me to expose her bitchy
nature so directly.
Felix stayed silent while the bystanders eagerly anticipated the unfolding drama.
Lilac called out once more as she was unable to salvage her pride, her voice tinged with a whimper.
Felix.”
The conclusion that day came when Felix transferred 500 dollars and requested me to handle it on his
behalf.
He said, “Here’s the money. Please take them out for a meal. Lili is quite conscious of her image. Let’s
not embarrass her.”
I didn’t want to respond, but it didn’t sit right with me to stay silent.
I sent a message to him quickly, saying, “I have no time.”
Felix’s behavior triggered my rebellious side.
I returned the money and told him to transfer it to Lilac himself.
Then, I sent her the location of the barbeque restaurant and left casually.
Felix called me several times that day, but I ignored them all.
Honestly, my actions were partly driven by my past grievances with Lilac. I was no saint and felt a need
for some petty revenge.
Late that night, Felix sent me a message. “Lili is just simple–minded. Please be patient with her.”
I began to wonder if Felix’s language class had been taught by a physical education teacher because he seemed to have a serious misunderstanding of the term “simple–minded“.
Either that, or he was completely blind and didn’t realize how annoying Lilac was. Or perhaps he had his own perspective, and I had no comments about that.
Furthermore, I believed that when Felix sent me this message so late at night, it wasn’t meant as an explanation but rather as a reminder not to upset her again. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
I just couldn’t understand why he repeatedly told me to go easy on Lilac.
What was
was his position, and under what authority was he making such demands of me?
I wasn’t his father to tolerate his behavior, let alone cater to his girlfriend and potentially their future
children.
That was just too much.
I didn’t reply to his message and brushed it off like a fleeting cloud, continuing my peaceful life.
Lilac might have been hurt or bothered by my actions because, surprisingly, she didn’t contact me for
several days.
I was pleasantly surprised, thinking she might have realized her bitchy behavior and decided to change.
That was until one day, I stumbled upon a huge secret that really caught me off guard. I struggled with how to handle it, worrying so much that I might go bald.
