Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 148

In her heart. Neil was a super well-mannered and polished rich kid.

Words like gloomy and poverty just shouldn’t rear their ugly heads around him

Letitia let out a sigh, “Maybe in this lifetime, my kid’s dad will never find me, and I’ll feel embarrassed to see him, to give him an explanation

“Mr. Thompson, what I also wanted to say is that my thing with Elgin isn’t as shady as you might think. I’m not his mistress”

“Then you’re his what 7”

“His puppet, his plaything,” Letitia said. “I’m just under his thumb.

After hearing this, Neil was silent for quite a while.

“Sorry about that, Letitia said softly, “for dumping all this on you”

“No. Im glad you opened up to me about your past. Letitia, you’re shrouded in mystery, with all these complex… human connections that I can’t quite figure out”

Neil’s gaze was always so pure, so gentle. He had a real soft spot for the girl in front of him.

Initially, it was a strange sense of familianty, like he was with an old friend he’d known for ages, then came curiosity, surprise, and now, a heart full of sympathy for Letitia

Neil was just too bright, too much of a nobleman.

Neil chuckled, “You don’t have to keep drawing a line between us. I’m not after anything else; I just genuinely treat you as a friend and want to help you out I was worried when I didn’t see you around, so I thought we could catch up over a cup of coffee after work.”

“Thanks.”

“And if you run into any trouble down the road, my offer still stands, I’ll do whatever I can to help you out.”

Letitia didn’t know what to say. Neil was a total stranger to her, they had no past connections, a fresh face, yet he kept reaching out a helping hand

Could it be was this some kind of cosmic pity, sending her someone to give her some help?

“Okay, Letitia smiled, “Mr. Thompson, I’d rather not trouble you, hoping for smooth sailing from here on out.”
