The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1471

Neera was taken aback by Colin’s politeness, and she quickly waved her hand. “Mr. Wiley, you’re being too polite. You’ve done so much for the Gordon family and arranged everything so meticulously. It’s the Gordon family who should be thanking you. If you say it like this, I really don’t know how to express my gratitude.”

Colin

gave a slight smile. “It seems Ms. Neera has forgotten again. We agreed the last time we met. There’s no need for formalities. Why are you still acting so distant with me?”

Neera blinked, noticing that he had no pretense about him. She relaxed, no longer holding herself back, and let out a hearty laugh. “All right. I won’t stand on ceremony, then. As long as you understand my gratitude, that’s all that matters.”

Afterward, something came to her mind, and she asked curiously, “By the way, Mr. Wiley, do you know where Darcel is now?”

Right after she mentioned Darcel, the first to react was Jean.

It seemed he hadn’t expected that, after all this time, Neera would still be thinking about Darcel.

The corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, his expression momentarily odd. But it was fleeting, and he quickly returned to his usual self.

Colin was clearly taken aback for a moment.

If Neera hadn’t brought it up, he would have completely forgotten about Darcel’s existence.

Colin then cleared his throat, subconsciously glancing at Jean. Seeing the latter’s nonchalant expression as if nothing mattered to him, Colin pursed his lips and had no choice but to cover for Jean. “D-Darcel is not here right now.”

Suspecting nothing, Neera continued to ask, “Where is he now? May I know? Ever since the selection of district president, I haven’t seen him, nor have I heard from him. I haven’t even had the chance to thank him properly.”

Colin vaguely said, “H-He’s been assigned to a task. Yes, he’s off on a mission.”

“Oh, I see…” Neera understood, her expression somewhat regretful. “I finally made it here, hoping to seize an opportunity to properly thank him, but what unfortunate timing…”
