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.

“Russel’s engagement party is tomorrow; are you going?” He asked me lazily while he was still half asleep.

“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?”

I opened my eyes fully, staring at the sunlight outside The weather looked nice today.

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.”

Neil and Russel had been friends for years. Although their friendship had gone sour, they still needed to mind their manners on such an occasion. After all, he did attend when Neil and I got married.

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”
