Chapter 264

Bonnie and Neil meeting each other was definitely a stroke of bad luck, at least in the eyes of Neil’s parents.

Faiths response made Bonnie visibly uncomfortable. She lowered her head, avoiding our gaze, lost in her thoughts.

After dinner, Kitty suggested we start eating the cake, and Faith nodded in agreement.

“Neil I need to talk to you?” I said softly. I was not in the mood for cake, and I quickly pulled Neil aside.

What’s up?” Neil asked.

Neils suspicions didn’t fade. He always thought there was something between me and Oscar. Learning that I was going to meet Oscar late at night made him even mare suspicious.
