Chapter 374 Marigold Had an Accident


Neil was in a mad rush to wrap up his work, grab the gift, and hightail it to Knight Manor. When he finally got there, the place was buzzing, but no sign of Alaric. Not knowing a soul and never having met Marigold, Neil had no choice but to hit up Alaric.

Alaric was stuck in a lecture. His phone buzzed, and he saw Neil's name pop up. He already had a hunch about the call. "Neil."

Neil jumped right in, "Alaric, I'm at Knight Manor. Where the heck are you? Can't see you anywhere!"

Alaric had hoped he could dodge the whole thing if he stayed busy, but no such luck.

But Neil cut him off, "It's late, and you're still out? I'm here waiting. Get your butt over here."

Neil was clearly ticked off. He hung up before Alaric could explain.
