Felix's eyes changed a little, but they quickly returned calm.

He smiled and said, "Aunt Harper, these vegetables were picked from the small garden. My mom said they're pretty good, so she asked me to bring some over. They're quite fresh."

"Oh? Well, that's nice," Mom took the bag from Felix and opened it to take a look. She waved him in and said, "I'll keep the vegetables. By the way, I just baked some bread, so bring it home to your mom, okay?"

After we moved here, no one had been taking care of the old house's garden. I heard that Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel had been taking care of it on our behalf. They would always send some harvest over. Felix listened to Mom's words and obediently responded. He sat on the couch, politely maintaining some distance between us.

He gave me a faint smile, and I returned with a stiff one.

We just looked at each other in silence.

Suddenly, I realized that six years had passed. We had gone from being companions to strangers. The atmosphere became unusually cold for a moment.

To be honest, there wasn't much hatred. After all, everything had passed and we had talked things through. There was nothing to hold a grudge over. But I just couldn't find that feeling from before, the feeling o being completely unbothered by whatever he did.

Time changed, seasons changed, and the winds and rains came and went. Nothing stayed the same.

Ever since that Thanksgiving six years ago, Felix and I had gone our separate ways without looking back.

"I'll resume my classes in September," he coughed slightly and said.

"Oh, will you continue your studies, or do you need to retake some papers?"

"I've finished last semester's courses, and my grades were good. After talking to my teachers, it seems I don't have to retake anything."

"Well, that's good."

The atmosphere turned cold again, so I picked up my phone and started scrolling through the news.

"Lulu, I know that saying sorry is too little too late now. And there's no way I can make up for the pain my parents and I have caused you, but I still want to say it.

"I've made a lot of mistakes in the past, and none of them deserve forgiveness. So, I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I just want to express my apology. If I could turn back time, I definitely wouldn't do the same things again."

I glanced at him from the corners of my eyes, studying the sincerity in his words. He had apologized many times before, but it was mostly just lip service. He didn't stop doing bad things after apologizing. Now, he was apologizing again, and I didn't know how genuine it was.

I remained silent and didn't respond to his words.

"I know you won't believe anything I say anymore. I don't blame you. It was all my fault. Looking back, I think I was crazy. I'm sorry."

He lowered his head, unconsciously tugging at the cushion on the couch with his left hand as his right was resting on his leg. He was blinking his eyes, looking like the Felix I remembered before the age of 18 after discarding all the previous schemes and calculations.

After experiencing so many changes, Felix had suffered both physically and mentally, but it was also a test for him. Now, he should have finally understood and grown up.

I hoped he truly knew where he went wrong.

We had grown up together, after all. Despite all the bad things he did to me, I still hoped that he could change for the better. He was still Colin's brother, so I wouldn't hold a grudge against him forever. He did save my life, didn't he?

I should let the past be the past.

At this moment, facing Felix's apology once again, I finally reconciled with the Felix of the past six years.
