In the end, Fabiola vomited several more times… and once all of it was out of her system, she finally dozed off again…
After staring helplessly at her for a while, Neal eventually got her a glass of warm water before slowly spoon-feeding it to her… and once he was done, he began cleaning her face with a warm towel.
Following that, he began cleaning up… And after everything was all tidy again, he couldn’t help but return to her side and start reminiscing about all the happy times they had together as kids…
This girl had always been a passionate one, and no matter how many times he rejected her, she’d always be back on her feet the very next day… Oh, how things had changed…
It took him a while, but he eventually muttered, “…Didn’t you tell me that you’d only ever love me, Fabiola…? What happened…?”
All of a sudden, the sleeping woman grabbed his hand and muttered, “Hanley… You jerk…”
…She was even thinking about that man in her sleep? Just how close were those two…?
Just thinking about those hickeys upset him… and after a while, he couldn’t stop himself from going for a smoke. He didn’t particularly like smoking, but… it was pretty much a requirement now. Alas, not even that seemed to heal the bitterness in his heart…
After what felt like forever, the door creaked open… and shortly after, Lea entered the room.
Seeing him smoking alone on the balcony, Lea couldn’t help but sneer before scoffing, “So? You’re finally starting to regret it all, huh?”
Realizing that something was off, Neal immediately gave Emmett a call… and the second he picked up, Neal asked, “…Did you not go on the blind date?”
“I did, but she didn’t even show up…”
…Then… What had happened? After hanging up, he called his secretary and immediately told her to investigate what had really happened…
It was about half an hour later when she finally rushed over and reported, “Mr. Xenos! After digging around a little, I’ve found that Ms. Livingston changed her date partner at the last second! What’s more, she even told the old man to state that you were the one who had set them up!”
…So that was why she had been acting so estranged ever since that day…! What’s more, it now made total sense why she suddenly decided to marry Hanley…!
