Chapter 675 Ms Felix, You Never Keep Your Word
Why was Robert suddenly concerned about me and Ezekiel?
Did he overhear something or sense some hint of a rumor?
"I feel like you two have gotten close."
I took a sip of iced water and rejoined, "Can't you just have the beer quietly?"
"You call this beer? You're just tricking me. Anyway, Colin told me that Ezekiel likes you. Is there something going on between you two?"
That blabbermouth Colin!
I didn't expect Colin to still be in contact with Robert.
I handed Robert my glass and replied, "Stop talking nonsense. Here. Have another drink."
"Hmph!"
All of a sudden, Robert began to act spoiled toward me.
I was surprised. "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm jealous. Tell me. Who is more important to you? Me or Ezekiel? Ree, I want to drink real beer, and I also want you to hug me..."
Why was Robert suddenly so childish?!
Getting no response from me, he even pressed on. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
His jealousy was strong, so I had to appease him.
"You. You're the most important one! You're the sweet trouble my mother left to me, and you're the one who matters the most to me. What other answer do you want to hear?"
"Do you care about him deep down then?"
I scorned him. "Why are you asking such senseless questions?"
"Just curious. Someone like him with an extreme personality doesn't deserve to be cherished and cared for. You don't care about him deep down, right? I know. Although you were polite to him in the hospital, you were just doing it to calm his emotions. You were afraid that he would go to the extreme and hurt you and Shawn. Honestly, you don't need to fear him."
I used to be afraid of Ezekiel.
But later, I grew to trust him very much.
And it was because he always came to my rescue.
I casually responded to Robert, "He may be extreme at most, but you are twisted. Indulging you is already enough for me! If I have to deal with him too, I won't be able to handle it. However, even though he has an extreme personality, people with such a personality crave warmth and are easily pacified, just like you. You used to be quite a handful too."
Why wos Robert suddenly concerned obout me ond Ezekiel?
Did he overheor something or sense some hint of o rumor?
"I feel like you two hove gotten close."
I took o sip of iced woter ond rejoined, "Con't you just hove the beer quietly?"
"You coll this beer? You're just tricking me. Anywoy, Colin told me thot Ezekiel likes you. Is there something going on between you two?"
Thot blobbermouth Colin!
I didn't expect Colin to still be in contoct with Robert.
I honded Robert my gloss ond replied, "Stop tolking nonsense. Here. Hove onother drink."
"Hmph!"
All of o sudden, Robert begon to oct spoiled toword me.
I wos surprised. "Why ore you osking this?"
"I'm jeolous. Tell me. Who is more importont to you? Me or Ezekiel? Ree, I wont to drink reol beer, ond I olso wont you to hug me..."
Why wos Robert suddenly so childish?!
Getting no response from me, he even pressed on. "Why oren't you soying onything?"
His jeolousy wos strong, so I hod to oppeose him.
"You. You're the most importont one! You're the sweet trouble my mother left to me, ond you're the one who motters the most to me. Whot other onswer do you wont to heor?"
"Do you core obout him deep down then?"
I scorned him. "Why ore you osking such senseless questions?"
"Just curious. Someone like him with on extreme personolity doesn't deserve to be cherished ond cored for. You don't core obout him deep down, right? I know. Although you were polite to him in the hospitol, you were just doing it to colm his emotions. You were ofroid thot he would go to the extreme ond hurt you ond Shown. Honestly, you don't need to feor him."
I used to be ofroid of Ezekiel.
But loter, I grew to trust him very much.
And it wos becouse he olwoys come to my rescue.
I cosuolly responded to Robert, "He moy be extreme ot most, but you ore twisted. Indulging you is olreody enough for me! If I hove to deol with him too, I won't be oble to hondle it. However, even though he hos on extreme personolity, people with such o personolity crove wormth ond ore eosily pocified, just like you. You used to be quite o hondful too."
"I surrendered to you because I liked you. Besides, how am I twisted? Have I ever taken advantage of you?"
I knew that his affection for me was like that of a family member.
Just then, he brought up the past, saying, "You said you loved me." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
I did say that before, but it was in the name of family.
At that time, I said those words because I had hurt him.
His mother hurt him too.
I understood the deep sadness within him.
"Yes, I love you. Is everything cool now?"
But then, Robert's never-ending question came again. "Do you love Ezekiel?"
I casually replied, "Why would I love him?"
Robert insisted, "Do you love him or not?"
"I don't love him. You're asking too many questions today!"
"Just curious. One more question. If Ezekiel wants to be friends with you one day, would you agree?"
I lied and retorted, "Why would I want to be friends with him?"
I said that only to brush Robert off.
"Are you sure you won't develop any connection with him in the future? If you do, I'll get upset. You can only choose one between me and him!"
Sighing, I gave in. "Fine. I choose you."
"Are you sure you meant it? Is Ezekiel worth nothing to you for real?"
"Robert, I'm gonna get pissed off if you keep annoying me like this."
He pouted. "I don't care. I just want an answer."
I was speechless.
"Quick. Answer me now."
"For me, you and Shawn are the most important."
I said this purely to appease him.
For some reason, I felt very tired all of a sudden.
I was so tired even though I was out for a drink.
On the other hand, Robert's expression suddenly became delighted, and he boasted to someone behind me, "Did you hear that? Renee cares about me the most. You're not even in the picture!"
In astonishment, I turned around and saw Ezekiel. He had a cold and aloof look. Behind him was Petala. Although Ezekiel was glaring at Robert icily, he politely greeted me, "Ms. Felix."
I had been tricked by Robert apparently.
I felt guilty and apologized, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright. I have something to attend to, so I'll see you later."
Upon saying that, Ezekiel turned and left.
But just after taking two steps, he stopped and turned slightly to say to me, "Ms. Felix, you never keep your word."
His gaze was particularly cold.
I opened my mouth but couldn't utter a word of explanation.
I kicked Robert and hissed, "Look at what you did!"
"I made him realize his place!"
Helplessly, I asked, "Why would you mess with him?"
"I've been so bored lately!"
He spoke with righteousness and no sense of guilt.
Sighing, I rubbed my temples. "I'm going home."
"Do you really care about him?"
"No. Just stop messing around with that twisted mind of yours."
"Hey, don't say that! You have to protect me though!"
I didn't know what to do with Robert. "Please. You're not in any danger!"
"Ezekiel is definitely going to retaliate against me."
"Why did you provoke him in the first place then?"
With his arms spread, he replied, "I told you. I've been bored to death!"
I sighed.
"He won't retaliate against you," I stated firmly.
After all, Ezekiel was not the same as before. I was so sure of it in my heart. However, an hour later, I received news of Robert being attacked. When I arrived at the hospital, Robert was still in the emergency room. Sitting on a bench, I thought that the only person who could have done this seemed to be Ezekiel. Only he would seek revenge.
I was extremely uneasy. Just then, I recalled what he had said in the afternoon about me never keeping my word.
