Chapter 100
However, it made sense why Lilac had suspected me. Only I knew about what she did at Lincoln
University.
I!!
The atmosphere around the table was heavy and tense. It was uncomfortable. I wouldn’t have come If I
knew things would turn out like these.
The whole dinner felt meaningless.
I talked to Uncle Austin and Aunt Melinda before I left.
Lilac could think whatever she wanted. I didn’t do anything, so I was not afraid she would misunderstand
The restaurant had a cozy vibe. There was even a garden behind the restaurant. The garden had a small
stream, dividing it in two.
Vegetables were growing on the left side. The weather was cooler now, so the vegetables looked healthy.
There was a small table and chairs on the right side. The chairs were made of stone. There was even a
well with a wooden bucket. The whole garden felt cozy.
I was bored and sat on the chair, looking through my phone. I just wanted to stay away from that table.
After a while, I saw something move as someone sat on the chair opposite of me. “You do know how to
find a good spot.”
I looked up to see Felix sitting before me.
“Why are you sitting here for so long? Have you finished eating?” he asked.
I placed my phone on the table and smiled. “I ate too much during lunch. Why aren’t you accompanying
Lilac?”
“She went home.”
I didn’t ask why, nor did he tell me. We just sat there quietly, pretending the other party did not exist.
I used to love spending alone time with him. It had been a while since we were alone. I never expected to
feel so indifferent.
The feelings I had for him had slowly faded away with time.

After a while, Felix took out a box of cigarettes from his jacket and took one out. Then, he asked me if I
would mind.
What was there to mind? We were out in public. We weren’t at home. I had no right to stop him.
However, he didn’t smoke back then. He only went to study for three years. Did he also learn how to smoke?
Felix lit up a cigarette and inhaled deeply. Then, he looked up and exhaled multiple smoke rings.
1 suddenly remembered that I’d once read a book saying that smoke rings were the products of loneliness.
Did he feel lonely?
Did he know what had happened?
“Felix, are you and Lilac doing okay?” I asked hesitantly.
I always felt guilty about knowing about it and never telling him. I wanted to use this opportunity to let -out everything I had kept in my heart.
He turned to look at me. There was a hint of warmth underneath his beautiful eyes.
