Chapter 423

Chapter 423

“Quit pretending.” I outed Neil, “I’m just a bit puzzled why you’re doing this.”

Neil responded calmly, “I just don’t want you to waste any more time.”

“Alright then,” I didn’t press the issue.

If Neil admitted he was doing this on purpose, I wouldn’t know how to react.

On our way back, Neil’s phone rang, it was a call from Karina.

He didn’t use a headset, he answered directly, so I could hear their conversation clearly.

“Neil, are you at Mitch’s place?” Karina’s voice was soft.

“Uh-huh, what’s up?” There was something about Nell’s demeanor that always seemed off to me.

Sometimes it seemed like he was really in love with Karina, yet his tone always felt distant. Sometimes I thought he was with Karina out of a sense of duty, but then there were times when I caught the way he looked at her, and it was unlike how he looked at other people.

It was all too confusing.

Karina must have been in the hospital corridor, every once in a while, you could hear someone calling for a nurse and some background chatter. But her voice was still clear, “Will you be home for dinner then? Hiram has been nagging about wanting you to take him to the carnival, there’s an event going on tonight.”

Just as Neil was about to reply, my phone also rang. It was a call from my mom, I chose to decline it and sent a text message instead.

But Karina was no fool, after a brief pause, she asked, “Why is Ms. Finch at your place?”

Neil and I exchanged glances, and Karina chimed in, “It’s no big deal. I won’t overthink. I just heard her ringtone and figured she was there. She and Stella are good friends, so it’s normal for you guys to have dinner together.”
