Chapter 206

I was overjoyed: From now on, Colin would take care of me, and I no longer needed to worry

about food. Oh, c’est la vie!

But life, as usual, was fond of cracking tasteless jokes. I often ran into those who I absolutely

abhorred.

I woke up early the next morning. For the first time in forever, I was motivated enough to go for a jog. Unfortunately for me, I bumped into Felix and Lilac.

I was jogging on the running track and they were walking in the opposite direction. There

was no way to avoid them.

I thought I could pretend they were not there and jog past them. But Lilac approached me with a bright smile and clung to my arm.

I shuddered, not liking the sudden physical contact. I took a few steps back to create some distance between us. Warily, I eyed her and said, “You can speak to me from that distance. We’re not close enough for any physical contact.”

Lilac, as shameless as she was, paid my aloofness no mind. She approached me, forcing me to retreat a few more steps. “Today is my birthday, Lulu. Felix and I want to buy you a meal.

You must join us!”
