Chapter 206

Neil was just around the corner. He was looking dapper in a simple yet subtly luxurious suit, always looking sharp and exuding a mature masculine charm.

At the sound of Bonnie’s voice, he turned his head. His gaze barely lingered on me, as if I were just air. In his eyes, there was only Bonnie, and he looked at her with a gaze full of adoration

My mom quickly took note of my reaction, and then her face relaxed.

Thanks for coming despite your busy schedule.” Bonnie said, latching onto Neil as he approached, making her look like she had two big rocks to lean on. When she talked to Neil, there was a clear, playful tone in her voice.

“Go ahead. She nodded.

Just as I started to move, Bonnie followed me. She quickened her pace and stopped me.

“What’s up?” I asked, wondering what she wanted.

Bonnie held a glass of wine, her expression sincere and her tone apologetic, “Irene, I wanted to take this occasion to toast to you and apologize. Can we put past grievances aside and be friends again?”

I looked at Bonnie speechlessly for a while, then asked. ‘Do we need to?”
