Chapter 60
60:
“Linsey, stop looking. I’m right here,” Felix said, his tone annoyingly familiar.
Her expression hardened immediately. Without even turning around, Linsey spun on her heel and began walking away, determined to ignore him.
Felix hesitated for a brief moment before quickly catching up, grabbing her wrist with a firm grip. “Linsey, hold on! I really need to talk to you.”
Linsey wrenched her arm free with a dismissive flick, her voice sharp and cold. “What is it now? Didn’t I make myself clear enough over the phone?”
Her face was one of indifference, her eyes now devoid of any warmth or affection as they met Felix’s.
Felix stood frozen for a moment, taken aback by the stark change in her demeanor.
He hadn’t expected this level of coldness. It was strange to him. He had only seen Linsey yesterday, but now, as he saw her face again, his heart missed a beat.
He was always aware that Linsey was a looker. He knew every little detail about her: her radiant smile, her gentle eyes, the way she always looked at him with warmth. Back then, her smile was always a greeting, a soft reminder of the bond they shared.
Felix wondered if he had simply grown bored of her for a while, which was why he had pulled away.
But now, when he saw her distant and cold, a strange thrill surged in his chest.
It felt like being thrown back in time, to when they first met, when everything was new and exciting.
Linsey, noticing Felix staring off into space, felt the weight of impatience settle in. “Felix, what do you want? I still have work to do.”
He snapped back to the present and forced a smile, attempting to be charming. “Linsey, we really need to talk. Let’s find somewhere quiet to sit and chat.”

He paused, his expression shifting to one of persistence. “If you don’t want to, I’ll just wait here until you’re ready.”
Linsey’s chest tightened with frustration as she looked at his face, already feeling the weight of dealing with him.
If they weren’t standing outside her workplace with people constantly walking by, Linsey would have slapped Felix right then and there. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she said, “Fine. Let’s go to the café nearby and talk.”
Felix’s face brightened instantly, a satisfied grin spreading across his features.
He knew it—Linsey still cared about him. There was no way she could have completely let go of everything they had. Linsey had always been soft-hearted. He was certain that with just a little coaxing, he could win her back.
Last night, after digging into Collin’s background, Felix felt a bitter knot twist in his gut. Even in his sleep, his mind was haunted by memories of the five years he spent with Linsey. When he woke up, those memories still clung to him like a comforting ache.
Felix had missed her so much that he called her the moment he woke up. He knew, deep down, he still couldn’t let go of her.
And how could she marry someone with a disability, just to get back at him? The thought twisted in his stomach, guilt gnawing at him. He was determined to pull Linsey out of the mess he believed she had gotten herself into.
Linsey, on the other hand, was tense. She knew Felix’s sudden appearance wasn’t a random coincidence.
Without wasting any time, she typed a quick message and hit send. The two of them sat down at a table in the nearby café, the air between them thick with tension.
Linsey raised an eyebrow, her impatience unmistakable. “Well? What do you want to talk about?”
