Female Novel
Chapter 1132
When Neera returned to her room, she found that the bed was already covered with new clothes.
“It was this much?” She was somewhat surprised.
“Mmm-hmm.” Violet pulled out a lollipop from nowhere and popped it into her mouth. “Satan wasn't sure aboutyour style preferences, so he had people sent a variety of clothes in all sorts of colors.”
Neera couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the clothes strewn all over the bed.
However, she was unsure about what kind of situation she would be facing at the Gordon residence the next day.Therefore, for a moment, she was at a loss, unsure of what to choose. novelbin
It was only after Violet roughly described the situation to her that she decisively chose a dark blue gown from themultitude of clothes.
That color of gown could easily make one look older.
However, Neera had fair skin, a good temperament, and a perfect figure. When she dressed up, the gown not onlymade her look youthful but also enhanced her charm.
After she changed, she picked out a pair of stilettos of similar height. She looked at herself in the full-lengthmirror and let her hair down.
Neera was quite pleased with herself as she turned to ask Violet. “How does it look? Do you think it looks good?”
Violet was utterly stunned, her mouth slightly agape. She held a lollipop in her hand, her eyes scanning up anddown, then down and up again, taking the sight of Neera in the gown all in. “It's so stunning! This gown looks
absolutely beautiful on you! It gives you an air of elegance and grace. This one is definitely a keeper!”
Her eyes sparkled brightly, eagerly leading Neera outside. “Let's show this to Satan!”
Neera quickly refused. “There's no need.”
After all, Avery wasn't related to her in any way, so why would she show him that?
Violet might be petite, but her strength was surprisingly immense. She firmly pulled Neera out of the room andled the latter down the stairs.
“Satan! Satan! Come quickly and see Neera!” she called out as she descended the stairs.
Downstairs, Avery had already shifted his gaze upon hearing the footsteps.
The moment he saw Neera, his eyes widened in disbelief. His gaze seemed to stick to her, unable to move awayno matter what.
Neera wore a dark blue gown that perfectly outlined her figure, enhancing her elegance beyond the ordinary.
That captivating beauty almost stole his heart away.
He gazed at her intensely, whispering softly, “You look beautiful. This suits you perfectly.”
Neera reluctantly smiled. “Let's go with this, then.”
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away, trying her best to appear calm and composed. However,
her heart was pounding inside.
The way Avery was looking at her earlier made her feel completely uncomfortable. If she didn't avoid him soon,she wouldn't know how to face him.
Back in her room, she changed her clothes and sat on the bed, hugging her knees, feeling somewhat frustrated.We can't keep going on like this. Once the Gordon family's matters are settled, I should still move out from hereand find a new place to live. I know what Avery's thinking. Staying here any longer will ultimately be unwise.Moreover, rumors are currently circulating that Avery and I are engaged. If I don't clear up this misunderstandingsoon, it will only become more difficult to explain in the future. Most importantly, what will Jean think if he hearsabout this?
The thought alone made her feel a twinge of guilt.
Even though she hadn't betrayed him, she always felt a sense of guilt.
After sitting blankly for a while, she took out her phone, opened the chat with Jean, and kept thinking about whatto type.
Before, she would type whatever came to her mind. However, she found herself hesitating.
In the end, she deleted all the words and just sent an emoji.
Jean quickly replied to the message: What's wrong?
Neera stared for a few seconds before making an excuse: It's nothing. I just pressed it by accident.
Jean naturally wouldn't believe such a clumsy excuse, but he didn't expose her either: Are you missing Daddy?
Neera couldn't help but burst into laughter. Does he believe whatever I say? He's so gullible. However, chattinglike this is also good. It's much more convenient.
At that moment, she carefully chose her words and replied: No, I just wanted to discuss Mommy's currentsituation with you. She's... a bit anxious right now.
Jean's eyes sparkled slightly as he brought his phone close to his lips. He sent an incredibly gentle voice message,“What's making her so anxious?”
Neera had not heard his voice for a long time. She was taken aback for a moment, replaying the voice messagerepeatedly. Then, she responded: Well... She has to meet a client for work, and there may be some complications.That's why Mommy is a bit nervous...
Jean chuckled lightly. She sure knows how to reframe her situation.
However, he also knew what she was afraid of. Thus, he reassured, “Don't be scared. No matter what happens,I'm here for you.”
