Why was she not going according to the script again?
“Speak up. What do you want to explain?”
Neil sucked in a cold breath.
“Very well!” Aurelia chuckled out of her rage and threw the matching rings at him as she said through gritted teeth,
“Liar!”
“Aurelia, I didn’t lie! I just… got dramatic.”
“And you’re arguing!”
“I-I just wanted you to worry slightly! I didn’t expect it to be so long. Look at my chat archive with Carter if you don’t
believe me!”
Aurelia widened her eyes. There was an archive she could go through!
Neil lamented in his heart. Why did he lose his brain-to-mouth filter once he panicked?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAurelia snickered and went to the archive, listening to all Carter’s previous voice messages.
Neil looked dejected and slumped on the bed as if he had lost his soul.
“Stop pretending.” Aurelia glanced at him. “Even if you are really in pain, I won’t believe it anymore!”
“Au…”
“I’m going back to the palace for a good rest now.” Aurelia turned away from him. “Mr. Best Actor, you can take
care of yourself!”
Aurelia ran out without looking back after that.
Neil felt miserable and tried to turn over, but his shoulder wound was throbbing in pain. It took him some time
before he finally managed to turn over, only to feel something hard under him.
After feeling for it, he realized it was the two diamond rings.
He took them out and carefully examined them in his hand. The two diamonds of varying sizes, one big and one
small, were perfect in cutting from every angle, shining with radiant brilliance.
Looking at them now, though, it was like they were laughing at him with a big mouth.
He was annoyed and stuffed the rings under the pillow. He placed one hand on his forehead and sighed, closing his
eyes.
Three days later, Neil was discharged from the hospital and returned home to rest.
He had always had good health, and with the help of Carter’s superb medical skills and the excellent medicine from
the Irwins, he recovered quickly. As long as he did not pull on the wound and avoided using the injured arm, he
could take care of himself in his daily life.
However, he had been depressed for these past few days, looking completely crestfallen.
The servants at home could see that something was wrong and discussed it privately.
“Is our master rejected by the princess?”
“How could it be? Mr. Neil’s eligible, and all the women in Southeast Aciatic want to marry him!”
“But all the men in Southeast Aciatic want to marry the princess too!”

“I’m not. Just look at his fingers… There’s a ring on the ring finger and another ring on the pinky, and it doesn’t fit.
He can only wear it halfway. Who’s so peculiar to wear both men and women’s diamond rings on one hand?”
The butler walked over and coughed heavily, causing everyone to scatter. The butler looked at Neil, who was lost in
thoughts by the fish pond, and shook his head weakly.
He walked over and said softly, “Mr. Neil, Ms. Cordelia and Mr. Zephyr are here. Do you want to see them?”
Neil’s eyes lit up, and he perked up right away, throwing the last bit of fish food into the pond.
A while later, he met Cordelia and Zephyr in the living room. They had brought their son with them. Zuko was fair,
chubby, and handsome. He was particularly adorable. The maids were all surrounding him, fighting to give him
delicious food.
Neil looked at Zephyr and chuckled. “Just wait. Your son will have more charm than you in the future!”
“You’re pretty charming yourself but still ended up like this.” Zephyr teased him. “Is this the first time you’ve
messed up an act? How does it feel?”
“Alright, you talk less!” Cordelia smiled and swatted Zephyr before she looked at Neil. “We’re here today to ask you
what you plan to do. If we can help, we’ll definitely help you solve the problem!”
