Chapter 151
“What are you doing? Come up!” Colin urged me.
I stared at the seat where Lilac had just sat, crossed my arms, and refused to get in the car.
Looking at me for a while, he turned his head to snicker. His teasing look made me blush.
So what if he laughed at me? I wouldn’t get in!
Colin had no choice but to get out of the car–helplessly. He took the passenger seat cushion outside, shook it vigorously, and put it back again. Then, he opened the trunk to take out a clean blue blanket. After folding it, he placed it on the seat cushion.
He reached a hand toward me gentlemanly. “Miss, please get in the car.
Although I wanted to pretend to be indifferent, his actions still made me smile. I took a step forward while still pretending to refuse him. “Colin, I can just go back by myself. We’re not on the same route.‘ Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
During the winter vacation of my senior year, my family finally moved to a new place. The Lawsons and the Whites officially ended their two decades of living next door to each other.
However, Mom still liked the small garden of the original house, so we didn’t sell the old house. She would occasionally stay there for a day or two.
Dad also said we should keep both houses and alternate living in them, treating it like traveling
“Aunt Harper went over to do the cleaning in the morning. She should’ve finished it by now. When I came out, Uncle Gerald said you asked for a barbecue for lunch. They’re waiting for you to have it together.”
“That’s great! There are a lot of barbecue restaurants at Jesselton College,
but they’re not as good as the ones at Lincoln University, Colin, help me make the sauce later. I miss the taste.”
After watching me take the passenger seat, Colin fastened my seat belt and

rustled my hair. He added before I lost my temper, “I happened to bring back some ingredients. They’ll satisfy your cravings.”
“Thank you, Colin.” I sat in my seat, glancing proudly at the rearview mirror, Lilac had flushed with anger.
Colin was always the best. He would arrange things well even if I didn’t ask him to do so. If it weren’t for our identities and the occasion, I really wanted to go over and kiss him as a reward.
“Colin,” Lilac called out, her voice so soft that I felt goosebumps while listening. “Is barbecue that delicious? I also want to eat it. Can you take me along?”
Through the rearview mirror, I could see her watery eyes. She was smiling so shyly that it made me feel disgusted.
Gosh, she was so hypocritical,
I didn’t expect her to seduce her boyfriend’s brother in front of her
boyfriend and even in the presence of outsiders.
Could Felix endure this?
I glanced at him. He was sitting stiffly and gloomily. His expression was terrible.
“No,” Colin refused without hesitation, even if his answer would embarrass her.
Lilac’s pretense of shyness was instantly frozen. She looked utterly awful.
Colin drove the car intently with an inscrutable expression on his face.
On the other hand, I laughed hard.

To deal with hypocritical people, I should act straightforwardly like Colin. I learned something new today.
If anyone dared to talk to me hypocritically, I would embarrass them without hesitation.
The car stopped slowly in front of the house. Four elders were standing at
the door, looking out.
“Mom, Dad, Uncle Austin, Aunt Mel, we’re back!” I jumped out of the car first. Colin opened the trunk, helped me carry my big backpack, and
followed me.
“Oh, my baby girl is back! Come in! Your mom came here early to make food for you.” Dad waved to me and smiled happily.
Aunt Mel took my hand with a smile, even pinching my cheek gently. “We were so happy to hear that you’d be returning during the holidays. You’re getting more beautiful. Hmm, your skin is so soft and
tender!”
