“Which one?” The coldness faded from Neil’s face. He appeared more relaxed, but he acted clueless on purpose.

“If I stay in Sterling Estates for half a month, can I see my dad?” I was determined. Even if my dad blamed me in the future, I would never regret this.

If my dad was wronged, I couldn’t just sit and watch him suffer

If my mom wake up and found out what happened to my dad, she’d be heartbroken.

Neil’s smirk grew wider. He let go of my hand and corrected me, “It’s a month.”

“Wasn’t it twenty days?” I frowned

“Why did you just arbitrarily change it to half a month? Now you need my help. so I should have the right to tweak the terms. Neil said shamelessly

I wanted to retort, but Neil’s gaze made me realize my position. If I refused him now, I’d be driving my dad to a dead end

‘Fine, I agree, but I want to see my dad within three days I also made my demand.

“No problem” Neil answered crisply. “Lets go back to Sterling Estates now.”

“I haven’t packed yet!” I replied

“No need. Everything’s ready at Sterling Estates. You just go straight there. And theres someone waiting for us there today. After saying this, Neil dragged me into the elevator, completely disregarding my opinion
