Chapter 317

Chapter 317

I was struck dumb and couldn’t answer Russel’s question to save my life.

Even though only a couple of minutes had passed, it felt like a bloody eternity.

While waiting for Neil to make a move, Russel suddenly leaned in and bit my neck, leaving a hickey on purpose. He gave me this complicated yet helpless look before getting up to open the door

Some of the tension inside me eased up, and at that moment, I just gave up resisting.

As for what happened next, it was a complete blur. When I came around, I was back in Sapphire River Community, all prim and proper with nothing amiss.

Hannah was by my side. The moment she saw me wake up, she immediately asked, “Ms. Finch, you awake? You feeling alright?”

“I’m fine; who brought me back?” Right now, that was all I cared about.

“It was Mr. Russel who brought you back. What the hell happened?” Hannah asked, a little edgy.

After hearing her response, my heart tightened. Did he not open the door after all?

Or maybe he did, but Nell didn’t react, so Russel ended up bringing me back..

If Neil didn’t react, I didn’t know whether to feel relieved that he kept his cool or disappointed.

But whatever he did now was all for my sake. I had no right to blame him.

“Did Neil come by?” I couldn’t resist asking in the end.
