Aurelia was bewildered.
“What… do you mean what I think?”
Her heart thumped wildly. She dared not look into his eyes, yet the space was limited. In addition to his current
position, the tip of his nose was going to touch hers… Even if she avoided it, she had little room to move around.
The man’s warm breaths were close to the tip of her nose. They slowly turned into a ball of flame that burned away
her rationale.
Aurelia took a deep breath and tried her hardest to stay level-headed. What could she think? How could someone
without a status be worthy of him?
“Are you asking the obvious, Aurelia?” Neil smirked. “Have you really forgotten what you said that night?
“I just want to know if what you said is true!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAurelia’s throat tightened up. She looked up after a moment of silence and met his eyes. Like a determined warrior,
she gnashed her teeth with a made-up mind—she would deny her feelings for him regardless.
If her feelings were a restraint that held him back, she would rather keep it a secret for life.
“Heh… Uncle, you aren’t being serious, are you?” Aurelia grinned as brightly as she could. “What did I say that
night? I’ve forgotten all about it!”
The dim glint in Neil’s eyes grew darker.
“But don’t mind it, even if I did say something, I was drunk! It’s all drunken words. They don’t count!
“Uncle,” Aurelia said seriously. She was smiling, but each word she uttered felt like a cut in her heart. “You’re just an
uncle to me, actually. Nothing else.”
The glow in Neil’s eyes went out instantly.
‘Hah, so I was the one misunderstanding all this while?’
He smirked and kept heated eyes on her for a while before he darted back to his seat.
“Very well.” He chuckled and clenched his fist hidden on his side to the point his knuckles turned white.
“Since we’re making things clear, I’ll be frank with you too,” he said in a deep tone. “Actually, nothing happened
that night. You don’t have to think about recompensing me, either. I wouldn’t take what you said seriously!”
“What?” Aurelia was stunned.
Neil looked into her eyes and said word for word, “I said, nothing happened between us!”
Aurelia’s ears buzzed. The helicopter went up to another altitude. The pressure in the cabin lowered, and her
eardrums hurt. It must be because it was her first time on a helicopter, and she was not used to it… She felt her
eyes burn like she wanted to cry.
“Haha…” She coughed a laugh. “That’s good, that’s great! We don’t have to be awkward now, right, uncle?”
“Yeah.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNeil’s voice was deep, and his gaze was complicated to read.
The girl really did not want anything to do with him…
He calmed down and told himself he wanted nothing to do with her, either.
That was it. He came from a noble birth, and his family was well known. He was also an award-winning actor! Why
would he want to be entangled with an illegal immigrant? Helping her now was only because it was humane to do
so.
Aurelia asked him softly, “Uncle, where are we going now?”
“Feranche, for a transit,” Neil answered. “But you don’t have a visa. I know a diplomat there who could allow our
helicopter to stay for 24 hours.”
“Then I…”
“Don’t leave the helicopter. I’ll take care of things then.”
Aurelia nodded.
