Chapter 1110

Chapter 1110 I Will Stay By Your Side Jean sent several messages in a row, showing great patience.

He was still in the hospital today.

In reality, he had already recovered, but Wrenn couldn’t shake her worries. She insisted that he stay in the hospital for two more days for continued observation, just in case.

He was bored, and the more he stayed idle, the stronger his longing for Neera became.

When he woke up that morning, he felt somewhat despondent.

He couldn’t help but recall how Neera had always stayed by his side whenever he was ill.

Yet, despite him being injured now, she was not by his side. Apart from his parents, everyone around him was a stranger, as they were all medical staff he didn’t know.

Such a disparity left him feeling hollow inside, and he wished he could instantly fly to her side.

After a long wait, he didn’t receive a reply from Neera. His sense of disappointment deepened.

Just as he was about to sigh, his phone screen suddenly lit up. A message had come in.

It was a reply from Neera.

His eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly tapped the message to view it.

Neera: Aunt Adriana wasn’t too disappointed. She received your gift. I’m conveying her thanks to you on her behalf.

Even though it was just a few brief sentences, and the words seemed quite indifferent, Jean’s lips couldn’t help but curl up into a smile.

Even such a lackluster response was enough to satisfy him.

At that moment, he began to bombard Neera with messages, expressing his longing and apologies.

Jean: Since you’re willing to talk to me, does that mean your anger has cooled a bit?

Jean: I miss you dearly. If it weren’t for pressing matters, I would surely be by your side by now. I’m truly sorry for not making it to Aunt Adriana’s birthday party and for not being there with you.

Jean: I heard Uncle Chad’s proposal was successful. Please pass on my congratulations. I regret missing such an important moment.

Jean: Don’t worry; I’ll sort things out here as quickly as possible, then fly over to see you immediately.

Jean: Whether you want to see me or not, whether you’re willing to talk to me or not, even if you don’t smile at me, it’s okay. I will stand by you until the day you’re ready to forgive me…

Looking at the screen full of sweet nothings, Neera strangely felt like laughing.

When he was around her before, he never seemed to talk this much.

Why does it suddenly seem like he’s become a different person, talking as if he can’t stop?

However, the torment in her heart seemed to be blown away like a gust of wind with those words.

As a result, Neera was in a rather good mood.

Beside her, Avery had been closely observing her. Seeing her fixated on her phone as a smile appeared on her face, his eyes darkened slightly. That was a smile she had never shown him before.

He could already guess what she was looking at.

Intense displeasure coursed through him. He felt he couldn’t let it continue like this and decided to find an opportunity to interrupt her.

“Neera, we’re finally out having fun, so don’t keep looking at your phone. Whatever work you have can wait. It’s not like it’s so urgent that you have to handle it right now. You can always do it later. Here, have some fruit.”

As he spoke, he thoughtfully passed over the fruit platter.

Neera took it, politely expressing her thanks.

Avery sighed helplessly. “Do you really have to be so formal with me? It’s fine here, but if we were in Phison, such behavior would easily give us away. After all, the people there are all quite smart, they’d figure it out quickly.”

Neera was puzzled. “Figure what out?”

Avery smiled slightly. “Uncle Chad probably didn’t get the chance to tell you yet. This time, when we go to Phison, we’ll be acting as an engaged couple to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

gaged couple to Upon hearing these words, Neera was taken aback. She had heard him mention this yesterday, but she didn’t expect him to be serious about it.

Although Avery was indeed a good person, she subconsciously didn’t want to put on a show with him in public,” especially one where they were in that sort of relationship.

After a moment of hesitation, she tactfully voiced her doubts.

“Why do I need to act under that identity? Uncle Chad said it himself-I’m just heading there to show my face, that’s all. Besides, the Gordon family should have some influence over there, so isn’t this a bit unnecessary…”

Avery had expected her to refuse, so he swiftly explained the reasons to her.

“You may not be fully aware, but the situation in Phison is quite chaotic. Despite the Gordon family’s strength, they face many constraints there. I know you might feel uncomfortable, but this identity can provide an extra layer of protection for you. Even if there were no danger, it can still intimidate the people there, preventing them from daring to offend you lightly.”
