Chapter 155
“Am I not a man?” Colin was a little dissatisfied and aggrieved.
What did he mean by that?
I looked at him blankly. I was still young,
I didn’t mean my age. I meant that I was protected too well by my parents and Colín, so my mental age was young. I hadn’t learned to think
independently about many things.
After listening to Colin’s words, I pondered. Based on his strong physique and my knowledge of gender, I could be sure he was male. Why did he ask
such nonsense?
“Matthew’s family is very unusual. His education and growing environment since childhood are beyond your imagination. Lulu, I’ve never cared about the difference in family background.
“But if you marry into the Loxley family, you’ll suffer. Society has classes. If you marry into a family with a higher social class, your future life won’t be good.”
I had thought before about what Colin just said.
My family’s conditions were good for ordinary people. My parents had a good income, and I was their only daughter. I was beautiful and talented and graduated from a prestigious university. I would also have a good job. I had enviable capital.
But the Loxley family was prestigious in Jinovy, and they were becoming increasingly powerful in recent years. Matthew was the eldest son in the family and was responsible for inheriting the family business. To stabilize his status, his parents would probably find him a well–matched lady to marry him.

Colin was right. The class gap between us was too big. It was also why I hadn’t decided to be with Matthew.
I didn’t want to become a joke in their circle. I didn’t wish to make myself too humble.
“By the way, Colin, do you think I’m ugly or stupid?”
“You’re the most coquettish in Lincoln University.”
Coquettish? It was such an unpleasant word although he was probably complimenting me.
“Then why have no boys ever pursued me? When I think of this, I feel bad about myself.”
Colin looked enigmatic and didn’t answer me, only pursing his lips.
I didn’t remember when he left. When I woke up, I found nobody was in the except for the refreshing smell of pine lingering faintly in the air.
It wasn’t until I bathed at night and lay on the bed chatting with Zara that I finally figured out what Colin’s words meant.
Over the years, I had only held his hand. But I treated him as my brother. He
