Chapter 35
I scoffed angrily. Was this still the Felix White I had known for 10 years? He had no conscience and such misqulded principles. He was a Jackass!
When did I provoke Lilac? When had I ever given her an attitude? What other made–up offenses were he
going to pin on me?
This bitch deserved Felix the jackasst
“I really don’t know what to say about you, Felix White, You have a brain, so why don’t you go back and think things through for yourself?
“I’m tired of talking to both of you. Kindly leave my house. Thank you for visiting, but I’m afraid I must
decline your kind gesture. Now, please leavel”
Felix pulled Lilac by her hand and left the house fuming. I was left alone in the large living room, standing
there like an idiot.
Before stepping out of the door, Lilac shot me a look. The glee in her eyes was clear as day.
I wanted to scoll.
Lilac was only so bold because Felix spoiled her.
But I neither wanted to fight for his affections nor steal them from Lilac. It wasn’t like Felix was the only man I ever wanted to marry in my entire life. Where did Lilac’s glee stem from, exactly?
After Felix and Lilac left, I went back to lie in bed. I covered myself in my blankets and silently cried.
Felix had changed. His moral compass now purely served Lilac’s needs.
He was no longer the sweet young boy I had a crush on.
Two days later, Jade and Zara came to find me. Only then did Mom begrudgingly let me out of the house.
The moment I stepped out the front door, Mom came up behind me to tell me all sorts of dos and don’ts.
I pulled Jade and Zara down the stairs, running to meet the bright, sunny day.
Our families lived in the same building with two units per floor. Each one of us had a small yard to tend
to, courtesy of the developer.

It wasn’t a big yard. Both Mom and Aunt Mel had decided to plant several plants that were easy to take care of. Their vines and leaves filled the space up, separating the inside of the yard from the outside.
I didn’t know they were sitting inside, nor did they know I was right outside. Neither of us could see the
other.
I sat outside Felix’s yard fence, admiring the day. I was about to take a couple of pictures to set as my
phone wallpaper.
Just then, Aunt Mel and Felix’s conversation floated into my ears. I didn’t even have time to avoid it.
“Why do you look so listless? Didn’t you get enough rest?”
“No. Lili and her mother went back to visit her grandmother earlier today.”
“Hmph! Why did I end up with such a useless son? You looked so lost the moment Lilac left. Why don’t
you go play with Lulu?”
“I don’t want to. Luna’s been really angry lately. I don’t wanna get scolded.”
“Who do you have to blame but yourself? Lulu wasn’t this angry before, right? Think about what you’ve
been doing all this time. When did you not hurt Luna with your actions?
“I don’t mean to pick on you, Felix. I don’t want to interfere with your relationship, but I need to tell you to
