Chapter 315

“Neil, you’re better at keeping cool than I am, aren’t you?” I sidled up to Nell and took his hand, gently stroking his palm. “Didn’t you say that Ethan Foster smells fishy? He’s probably keeping a wary eye on you. If we want to catch him out, we have to make him believe that we’ve split”

Neil wrapped my hand in his, his palm was warm and broad.

He leaned in, his lips almost brushing my cheek. “Alright, I’ll play along, but you owe me for the emotional toll.”

“Do I need to make it up to you?” I was genuinely surprised. Was Neil pushing it?

“Yeah, you do.” Without waiting for my response, he pressed his lips on mine as his tongue expertly explored my mouth.

After all his persistence, I seemed to have warmed up to him. It wasn’t unpleasant, and as long as I didn’t get pregnant, I was none the worse for it

I tried to reciprocate, and he stopped. His eyes were wide open, brimming with barely concealed excitement

“I want us to have a kid as soon as possible.” Neil whispered against my lips as his gentle kiss enveloped me.

Just like that, my arousal plummeted. It felt like I’d been stabbed in the heart.

I wasn’t going to have any more kids, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.

Neil had no idea what was running through my mind. He continued to kiss me tenderly while I bore the pain and managed to respond..

He was incredibly gentle that night, but I couldn’t shake off my melancholy.

The next morning, I rushed back home.
