NovelEnglishColin gavea wicked smile and said, "Of course. Otherwise, I'd have to find someone else to helpwith my release three times a night. I wouldn't want to soil myself, or my darling would findrepulsive." Here we go again! What kind of talk was this! Was dirtying his pants three times a night something to boast about? He was flaunting it shamelessly. I felt awkward and couldn't respond.
I had originally wanted to tease him, but now I ended up being teased by him. I was the one embarrassed now.
In terms of witty banter, I still had room for improvement. No matter how many times I counter-attacked, it always ended in failure. I was hopeless. Hearing about my return, Jade and Zara cover early in the morning and draggedout with them.
It was hard for us to meet up in person nowadays. Much of our communication was done through the internet. It was only natural for us to gather and have sfun when the opportunity to meet arose.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYoung women of our age didn't choose to go to amusement parks or aquariums anymore. Those had bectoo childish for us. After all, we weren't teenagers anymore. Now, our main destination was major shopping malls where we could shop and enjoy meals together.
After a whole morning of shopping, our feet were sore, but we had a fruitful haul. We were planning to have lunch at a newly opened restaurant. Zara drove, so we put all the shopping bags in the car and decided to walk over to the restaurant. Just as we started to walk, we saw someone we really didn't want to see after turning a corner-Lilac.
How long had it been? If it weren't for today's chance encounter, I would've forgotten about her existence. I didn't expect her to still be in Southsville. The weather in August was really hot, but Lilac was wearing a zippered long-sleeved sports shirt and beige long pants that covered up her feet. I felt hot just looking at her. Her long hair had been cut short. It was messy and hanging over her shoulders. Her delicate face was covered in tear stains.
As we passed by a narrow alley, we saw her crying and pulling on the sleeve of a man opposite her. She was talking, but I couldn't hear what she said due to the distance.
I only saw that the man seemed impatient. He slapped her hand away and pushed her before raising his voice to curse at her, telling her to stay away.
Lilac staggered backward a little, almost falling. But after steadying herself, she rushed forward again. She was not discouraged and tried to throw herself into the man's arms.
This time, the man was really angry. He raised his hand and slapped her hard. The sound of the slap rang in my ears.
"Lilac, I'll say this one last time. It's impossible for us to get married. My parents disagree, and I don't want to. You're cunning and treacherous. You only care about material gains. I'll never marry you no matter what.
"Stop pestering me. It's annoying and disgusting. If you ctoagain, I won't hesitate to expose all the filthy things you've done to everyone in your school." After that, the man walked away, passing by me. I finally saw his face. It was Shawn Dixon, Lilac's childhood sweetheart.
I hadn't seen him for more than half a year. He seemed to have lost weight and looked too thin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe probably didn't expect to seeas well. He glanced atin surprise before walking away without stopping. He stood tall with a straight back and left without any hesitation.
In the past, whenever he saw me, it was always with a look of hatred as if he wanted to kill me. Today, he chose to ignore my presence.
It seemed that something had happened between Lilac and Shawn. He no longer hatedbecause of that.
From his words, it could be concluded that besides Felix and himself, there was another man entangled with Lilac. It seemed that Lilac's private life was quite messy. Otherwise, Shawn wouldn't have used such disgusting and insulting words. In fact, Shawn had sgenuine feelings for Lilac back then. I didn't know what she did to make him change his feelings.
Seeing Lilac sitting on the ground and crying while covering her face, I couldn't help but sigh. Life was full of ups and down's. Back then, she betrayed Felix and treated him poorly. Now, she was tasting what it was like to be abandoned. The world was truly fair.
TI never thought about kicking her when she was down, but almost all the bad things that happened towere directly or indirectly related to her. So, I really couldn't feel anything toward her, not even pity.
