Chapter 203
Colin tilted his head to look at me with a smile, listening to me yap about everything like an excited girl. Tenderness threatened to overflow from his starry eyes.
I was 22 years old. I was an adult now. In front of my classmates and lecturers, I behaved like
a gentle, elegant woman. Some of my juniors even followed me around just to learn my
mannerisms.
Unbeknownst to them, I behaved like a spoiled fool in front of Colin.
To our surprise, we ran into Felix.
His
eyes fell on Colin’s and my interlocked fingers. Subconsciously, I tried to withdraw my hand, but Colin wouldn’t let me go. He grabbed my hand tightly as we walked toward Felix.
“Hey, Colin,” greeted Felix.
“Hey, have
you
eaten? Do you want to join us?”
Felix hesitated for a while. He then took out his phone to send a quick text before joining us.
Jinovy was way more prosperous than Southsville. I found many high-end restaurants here, and out of them, Colin picked a seafood restaurant.
The establishment was well-decorated. It was quiet and filled with greenery, prompting me to think that I was in a botanical garden.
We were seated at a table for four. Colin and I sat on one side while Felix sat opposite us.
The ambient music was soothing, and the air conditioning was adjusted to the right temperature. I placed my head on Colin’s shoulder as we read the digital menu on the table.
Colin’s presence dispelled the unease between Felix and me. At least I didn’t have to worry about Lilac making a fuss over this meal.
Before long, the food was served. The three of us dug in.
