Chapter 103

Nell took me straight back to Sterling Estates. He gave all the house staff time off for the holiday, so not a soul was left at home

I was puzzled, Couldn’t you keep at least one person around? Pay them a little extra to at least help with cleaning and cooking

Why keep them around when no one is home?Neil motioned for me to sit on the sofa. He knelt down, wanting to help me take off my shoe to check on my sprained foot

I felt uncomfortable with him being so caring, so I withdrew my foot, Just bring me the first aid kit.

Neil casually replied, I’ve seen your whole body. What’s the harm in checking your foot?

I stayed silent for a few seconds before retorting, It’s not about being shy. I just don’t need you to be so nice to me

Why?Neil looked up, staring at me.

I was the one who should be bewildered, Neil, you just took Bonnie home, and then you came back to find me. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?

Last night, he should have still been in Springvale. He could have only come back to Rosemont this morning at the earliest. As soon as he got back, he found Bonnie and took her home.

Every New Year’s Day in the past, he would only come back to Rosemont at my urging.

It was clear who took precedence in his heart.

Neil frowned, I’ve already said that I’ll deal with my relationship with Bonnie.

How? Find a nice place to hide her, or completely cut ties and never contact her again?I pressed.

Neil silently looked at me.
