Chapter 198 Matthew and Helen played a pivotal role in my resounding victory. They were the reason why the debacle concluded that quickly.
“Are you sure?” Colin squinted his eyes dubiously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hehe, | might have exaggerated the whole thing a bit. Matthew came, and let's just say that an explanation from him was a hundred times more effective than anything | could say.” “I see. Either way, always prioritize your safety. Givestime. It'll be over soon.” | was so caught up in my overconfidence that | didn’t hear what Colin said in the end.
After we hung up, Helen, who was about to fall asleep, propped her head up on one elbow and stared at me.
“Shouldn’t you go to sleep? It's eerie to stare atlike this when it’s so late at night.” Helen pursed her lips as if she had just found something amusing. “Lulu, you like Colin, don’t you?” “Of course, | do. He's my friend. | love him.” She shook her head. “I'm not talking about that kind of love. When you were talking to him, your eyes sparkled.
Joy was oozing out your face. | noticed similar things when Matthew looked at you. Admit it already, Luna. You like Colin. And it’s the boyfriend-girlfriend kind of like.” Not another person who tried to taint the pure friendship | had with Colin! Gosh! | grabbed whatever my hands could reach and launched it at Helen's face. “Shut up. You're drunk. If you make things up again, | won't help you woo Matthew.” Helen tossed back the item and turned her back on me. “Pfft. It’s like talking to a wall. You'll cry so much for this one day.” Not wanting to deal with her, | closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep.
Right before | fell asleep, | heard her voice again. “No wonder you're not into Matthew. Colin is handsand talented. And he puts you above all else. He suits you better than Matthew does.” “Are you done? Or are you planning to give up Matthew for Colin now?” “Impossible. In my eyes, Matthew is the best. No one can outshine him. I'm not saying that 1/2 Colin is better than Matthew. I just think that he suits you better.” | was so done with Helen, so | went to sleep.
+15 BONUS The next day, | ran into a rare sight-Felix. He was in the cafeteria at noon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was wearing a thick hoodie, dark sports pants, and a pair of white running shoes. His lanky frstood at the stall next to me. He was staring atsilently.
| felt a pair of eyes on me, so | turned around. Instinctively, | took half a step back.
“Am | that hideous?” He protested and walked to the front as the queue shortened.
“Yes, it’s like running into a ghost. A ghost shouldn't appear in broad daylight, though.” Felix snorted. He pointed atwith his left hand. “Look who's talking big now. | shouldn't have helped you.” Help me? Did he...
“You called Matthew that day?” Felix shrugged. “I couldn't let you be bullied, could I?” “So you knew what his mom was like.” He shrugged again and grinned, basically tellingto guess.
| began to get angry. Couldn't he tellthe answer directly? Did he have to be so cryptic? ” What's wrong with you, Felix? You should've warned me. Was it fun to watchbe humiliated like that?” “It’s not like you'd listen toanyway. Guess why | intercepted his love letters for you?” I was shocked.
So that was the reason.
