Chapter 99

Chapter 99

“I ain’t going over there this year, why don’t you take Bonnie instead?” I casually tossed the opportunity over to Bonnie, with my hands tucked into my coat pockets I believed she could use this chance.

Neil’s forehead creased creating a small mountain peak, and his eyes held a complex mixture of emotions. It was not quite outright displeasure, but a kind of restrained dissatisfaction.

“We’re not getting a divorce. I’ll take care of Bonnie’s situation”

Honestly, upon hearing this, I felt like I was hallucinating. It sounded like he was choosing me over Bonnie. Wasn’t that just nuts? He was just going to ditch his dream girl like that?

“Neil, quit pulling my leg. Don’t give me empty promises. No, they can’t even be considered promises “I calmly rejected him.

I turned to go inside, but Neil grabbed my arm.

“Let me try” He pleaded for the first time.

He’d never humbled himself like this, not even when he wanted a divorce in my previous life. I felt my heart skip a beat.

Could Neil really be in love with me? But there was no way he loved me more than Bonnie. If he had to give someone up, it would be me.

I figured Neil was probably under pressure from his family and wasn’t ready to take on the world for Bonnie yet, so he wanted to keep using me to appease his family. That was the only plausible explanation I could think of..

“Don’t bother, go home. My dad hasn’t come back yet. If he sees you here when he does, it would be awkward” I maintained my rationality.

Speaking of the devil, my dad was just out dealing with some emergency. My mom was busy cooking and didn’t know Neil was here. Upon seeing Neil, my dad’s face darkened as if he had seen some ill omen. “What are you doing here?” He asked sternly.
