Chapter 200

I hadn’t heard from Neil for almost half a month, either in the real world or online.

My relationship with Russel had been the talk of the town. It even affected my dad, but Neil seemed unfazed by all the attention.

Turned out that he hadn’t been idle; he got over his issues with Bonnie and chose to be with her.

I recall Neil asking me if I’d mind if he and Bonnie got together.

“I wish you guys the best” I said while chuckling and looking calmly at Bonnie.

Trene, I should thank you. If it werent for you and Russel being together, Neil might never have realized that I’m the one for him and chosen to accept me. So don’t miss our engagement party” Bonnie said, pulling an invitation from her bag. I’ve had your invite ready for a while, just waiting to give it to you. Since I ran into you today, here it is.”

I flipped through the invite. Neil and Bonnie’s engagement party was at the end of next month.

The name ‘Neil’ on the invite was printed in a uniform font; it was very conspicuous. I suddenly remembered that when we were getting married, I wrote the names and dates on our invites.

I used to think that writing invites for our wedding was the happiest thing.

“What the hell are we going to that for?!” Barbara snatched the invite and tore it up, tossing it on the ground. “Bonnie, can’t you have a little shame?”

Bonnie just laughed, “It’s okay if you don’t want to come, you don’t have to. We just wanted to let everyone know so no one says we’re rude.

I pulled out thirty dollars from my bag and tossed it at Bonnie, I won’t be attending. This is my gift to you. Given our relationship, thirty dollars should suffice, right?”

Bonnie’s smile finally froze. Clearly, thirty dollars was an insult.

“Irene, you’re going too far!” Bonnie picked up the thirty dollars, fuming. “You’re with Russel now, what more do you want? Are you trying to play both sides, so you can have both Russel and Neil hopelessly in love with you?”

I stood up, looking down at Bonnie sitting on the sofa, all worked up. You’ve got a dirty mind, so you think everyone else is just as dirty”

“You… Bonnie was speechless with rage.

“Let’s go, Barbara,” I said.

It was a bit uncomfortable to be in the same store as Bonnie, who was probably here to pick out an engagement dress. Barbara started to leave, then hesitated, asking carefully, “Irene, are you okay? Don’t be upset over someone like Neil”

I laughed, “What are you talking about? My boyfriend is Russel; how could I still be upset over Neil? He and Bonnie are meant for each other.”

They really were a match made in heaven.

“Right, wait for me, I need to cancel the wedding dress appointment” Barbara suddenly chimed in.

In her rush to leave, she didn’t get a chance to cancel the wedding dress appointment with the shop owner. So she gave me the car keys and went back

1.

I went to the car just as Bonnie came out of the bridal shop. She glanced at me, then said into her phone, “I’m on the side of the road; can you see me?”

Not far away, Neil’s familiar Maybach slowly approached.

I quickly got in the car and shut the door.

Outside the car window, Bonnie was running towards the Maybach. Neil got out of the car and let her jump into his arms. It was quite a sweet scene.

I looked down at my phone, pretending not to see what was happening outside. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, someone knocked on my window. It was Bonnie; her face was pressed against the glass. All I could see of Neil In my peripheral vision were his legs and waist.

I ignored Bonnie. She looked hurt and got up to say something to Nell. Curious, I lowered the window a bit and eavesdropped on their conversation.

‘Neil, maybe I upset her. My intention was to make amends, which is why I invited her to our engagement party. Bonnie said, sounding innocent.

Neil’s response was indifferent, “It doesn’t matter if those irrelevant people come or not.

I quickly rolled up the window again, blocking out that familiar, indifferent voice.

Suddenly, my phone rang. It was Russel.

“Rena, where are you?” Russel’s voice was gentle and bright. I had to say that he treated me, his girlfriend, very differently from everyone else. Normally he was aloof with others, but with me, he was warm and attentive, easily satisfying my special needs as a girlfriend.

Tm helping Barbara pick out a wedding dress. What about you? Have you had lunch yet?” I asked.

“I just got off work. I knew you were with Barbara, and that shop is near my hospital, so I thought I would come over and we could grab a bite. Russel

Baid.

I glanced again at Bonnie and Neil outside. They were walking towards the Maybach. Before getting in, Ned looked back at

Even though we hadn’t seen each other in more than ten days, he seemed to have lost some weight, but he still seemed unapproachable.

His gaze pierced through the windshield and lingered on my face for a few seconds. There was something cold about his sys

I avoided Neil’s gaze and answered Russel, Bounds good; come over

Chapter ZUU

After hanging up, I got out of the car so Russel could find me while Neil’s car slowly drove away

Soon, Russel showed up. He got out of his car and waved at me.

“Dr. Russel is here for you?” Barbara came out just then and saw Russel, causing her to grin like a proud mother-in-law. “Go on, enjoy your date. I’ll take off

“Don’t go, have lunch with us” I grabbed Barbara’s arm.

Russel showed up right in front of us, snatching my bag without a second thought. He made my bag look like a toy as he stood tall while holding it.

With his other hand holding mine, he responded to me, “Yeah, let’s grab a bite.”

Barbara rolled her eyes. “Dr Russel, the only thing you’re missing is a Do Not Disturb’ sign on your face!”

Russel cracked a smile. His subtle one made him look extra charming under the sunlight.

I’m outta here, bye Barbara decided not to be a third wheel and jetted off in her car

Left with no choice, I said to Russel. “Let’s get moving. It’s just the two of us for dinner, so let’s see if there’s any decent place around.”

“There’s a great Italian place, Ill take you there. Russel led me towards his car
