Chapter 290

I was exhausted and totally wiped out. I felt like I was floating. Other than impatiently shoving Neil away, I had no energy to resist.

I couldn’t get a wink of sleep in this state. I cracked open my eyes only to find that it was the break of dawn outside.

I slept till noon, and Neil didn’t go to work today either. He was catching up on sleep, like me.

“I don’t know.” I replied nonchalantly.

The truth was that I had already decided not to go. Chloe had texted me, so there was no way I was gonna cause her trouble.

Neil was messing with my hair, then gave a slight rub, “You shouldn’t go. What if he runs off when he sees you?”

Neil didn’t get an answer from me and seemed a bit miffed, so he pinched my lips.

This childish act annoyed me, so I swatted him away. “Who are you to control me? Aren’t you going?”

Neil was quiet for a while, then said, “Of course I’m going, but you and I are different.”

I didn’t answer. I was pondering whether I should send them an engagement gift. Even though I was not attending, it was still appropriate to send a gift.

As I was thinking, my phone buzzed. It was from Chloe. “Ms. Finch, I’m very sorry. Please ignore what I said before. Please come to our engagement party tomorrow. I want him to give up completely”
