Isabella sharply sensed something unusual from these words, her eyes narrowing. She then asked bluntly, “What’s going on? Why do you suddenly have another fiancé popping up around you?”

Neera didn’t expect Isabella to so quickly guess it was her in that situation and hurriedly denied it.

“W-What nonsense are you going on about? It’s not

Me! This matter has nothing to do with me; it’s my friend.”

After speaking, she corrected, “Moreover, the man who appeared isn’t her fiancé. They’re only engaged due to an agreement between their families, but nothing has been finalized.”

Isabella knew Neera was feeling self-conscious, so she kindly went along with her.

“All right, all right, this is your friend’s problem, right? Now tell me, what’s the deal with that man?”

Neera could hear Isabella’s stifled laughter, causing her face to turn somewhat red. She had no choice but to play dumb, however.

“It’s like this. My friend is set to inherit the family business, and her family once agreed to a marriage agreement/ with this man’s family. The successors of both families were supposed to be united in marriage. Now, she and this man are each the successors of their own families, so according to the agreement, they are technically engaged. However, nothing is confirmed yet, so it doesn’t really count…”

“So that’s how it is.” Understanding dawned on Isabella, who had grasped the crux of the issue.

“Is your friend still mad at her boyfriend? If she is, this could be a perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson.”

Neera clutched the quilt, feeling conflicted as she said, “Actually, it’s not about whether I-she’s angry or not, it’s just… my friend is unsure if her boyfriend trusts her.”

“I see.” Isabella analyzed, “Given your situation, he was already lacking confidence in your relationship because you ignored him. Your recent actions might make him think that you’re looking for someone else. The situation is unique now; it’s no longer about trust. Anyone would feel upset and tend to overthink in this sort of situation.”

Upon hearing this, Neera became even more uncertain.

She shook her head slightly, finally coming to ho

isn’t me…”

senses. Embarrassed, she defended herself, “I’ve already said it

With a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Isabella answered in a tone that carried a hint of teasing, “Yeah, yeah, it’s not you. I was just saying it off the top of my head.”

Neera was rendered speechless.

After hanging up the phone, she hesitated for a long time. In the end, she couldn’t help herself and sent a message

to Jean.

However, she didn’t send it under her own name.

She sent: Daddy, the fireworks weren’t actually that impressive. Mommy only went to keep Great-granny company, so don’t overthink it, okay?

This explanation made it seem like she was trying too hard to cover up the truth, which only made it seem even more suspicious.

Neera felt her cheeks flush as she read the message. She never thought there would come a day when she would have to pretend to be her children to clear up a misunderstanding.

It was truly quite embarrassing.

Back in Kingsview, Jean’s lips curled up into a smile when he saw that message, and he immediately responded.

Jean: Is that so? But your mommy didn’t even think to explain it to me. Besides, she and that man are still engaged. Who knows, she might even have developed feelings for him…

Upon seeing those words, Neera felt quite disappointed and, at the same time, a bit angry.

What does he mean by I might have developed feelings for Avery? How could that happen?

This is all just a misunderstanding, yet he’s already overthinking things to this extent?

This guy… Does he really lack confidence in himself like this?

And what about his promise to pursue me, his vow not to let go?

I didn’t expect him to give up so quickly!

She was quite upset and took this opportunity to scold him.

She replied: If Mommy really does like Mr. Cox, do you plan to just give up? Didn’t you say before that you would keep Mommy company for a lifetime? That no matter what happens, you would never let her go?

As she watched the message being sent, she felt both a pang of anxiety and a touch of embarrassment.

I can’t believe how much acting like the kids feels like second nature now even though the first message felt a little strange.

Upon seeing this, Jean lifted his eyebrows slightly and messaged: I don’t want to give up either, but your mommy hasn’t paid any attention to me. I’m not sure what to do now.

Neera: Why are you being so silly? If she really didn’t want to have anything to do with you, she wouldn’t have allowed us to talk with you tonight. Isn’t this her silent approval for you to keep in touch with us? If you think about it more deeply, isn’t this her silent consent that you are still our father?

Upon seeing this, Jean could no longer hide the laughter in his eyes.

He realized that this new way of chatting was quite interesting.

Is this her way of encouraging me?

At that moment, he replied earnestly: Thank you for your encouragement, darling. I will work hard and won’t give up
