Chapter 333

“Neil, can we just drop this argument, please?” I didn’t want to talk about it anymore.

“You can’t have any contact with Russel Dawson. That’s my bottom line. Don’t you get it?” Neil looked stern, a hint of a crack appearing in his icy demeanor. He was clearly pissed.

This situation had caused a small rift in our previously growing closeness.

The atmosphere in the living room was tense. I stood there while Neil sat on the sofa, neither of us breaking the silence.

After a while, I couldn’t stand there any longer. I didn’t even say a word to Neil. I turned around to leave. But Neil was quick; he grabbed me before I could make it to the door.

He asked me angrily, “Are you pissed off? Going out to dinner alone with other men and being so stubborn?”

“Neil, stop talking nonsense, okay?” I was really annoyed. “Do you even know how critical the situation was for Chloe Reynolds? Was I supposed to watch her jump off the roof?”

“What does it matter to you if she lives or dies?” Neil still held his ground.

“Neil, do you have to be so cold-hearted?” I pulled away from him, trying to control my emotion’s, and said calmly, “When I saw her, it reminded me of my past. Don’t you think we’re similar in some ways? I don’t want her to repeat my mistakes. Is that a problem?”

Though I tried to keep my composure, Neil noticed something was up. He frowned and asked me, “What do you mean by ‘repeat your mistakes? Have you ever tried to kill yourself?”

I was taken aback and quickly averted my eyes from Neil.
