The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1143 Jealousy

After escorting Herbert out, Neera found her back drenched in cold sweat. Her gown clung to her skin/causing some discomfort.

Avery showed his concern for her. “Are you alright? Were you frightened?”

Neera shook her head. “I was a little nervous, but it’s no big deal.”

What she cared about most now wasn’t that. After hesitating for a moment, she still couldn’t help but ask.

“Why did you say that just now? Our engagement was a sham to begin with. How could there possibly be an engagement ceremony…”

Avery’s gaze faltered slightly, a moment passed before he regained his composure and said, “Don’t worry, what I said earlier was just a proposal, no specific time was mentioned. It can be postponed indefinitely.”

Postponed indefinitely… That’s not the point. Shouldn’t the point be that this engagement was never valid in the first place?

Neera was slightly troubled, for she was very bothered by his ambiguous response.

That said, he had just helped her out. If she were to argue with him now, it would seem as if she was being ungrateful.

With those thoughts in mind, she found herself at a loss for words, choosing instead to temporarily suppress her feelings.

Avery clearly didn’t want to delve deeper into the matter with her. He glanced at his wristwatch and changed the topic.

“It’s getting late. You’ve had a long day and should get some rest. I’ll head home now.”

After speaking, he smiled faintly with a warm look in his eyes.

“Now that I’ve safely brought you to the Gordon residence, I can rest easy. You should feel at ease living here. With Shane and Charles protecting you and the support of Mr. Robin, there’s nothing to fear. If anything happens, no matter how late, you can always contact me. I’ll rush to your side immediately.”

Neera was preoccupied with her own thoughts, barely paying attention to what he was saying afterward. She gave him a cursory nod, bid him goodbye, and returned to her room.
