Chapter 1149

“Everything here is good.

Order whatever you like,” Neville replied, not bothering with the menu.

After dismissing the waiter, he got straight to the point.

“Today’s the appointment my mother set up with you.

I think there are some things we need to discuss.

”

Setting the menu down, Susie rested her chin on her hand, giving him her attention.

“What’s on your mind?”

Neville didn’t mince words.

“I already have a girlfriend.

”

“I’LL make it clear to my family.

Please inform your family so that it won’t affect the ties between our families,” Neville added.

Susie blinked at him, grinned, and then said seriously, “But I fall for you at the first sight.

Since your family set up this meeting, I’m guessing they’re not thrilled with your girlfriend.

So, maybe reconsider.

”

Susie didn’t mean a word of what she said.

She was just teasing the man in front of her.

Love wasn’t her thing, and neither was marriage.

But being the heiress of a wealthy family, marrying for business was the practical route, and Neville was the chosen one.

She was well aware of Neville’s reputation.

A young and handsome man like him could help ward off unwanted suitors.

Plus, once they were married, it could be beneficial for both of them to have their own affairs on the side.

If it weren’t for Miley, he might have considered compromising with his parents.

But everything had changed.

He couldn’t pinpoint when, but he had fallen d

eeply in love with Miley.

So much so, that missing her kept him up all night.

He acknowledged his defeat, and he was strangely at ease with his decision.

He was willing to lose.

Making this choice made the future seem less daunting.

Whatever challenges lay ahead, he was ready to face them courageously, all for the prospect of a future with Miley.

Susie observed Neville for a moment and remarked, “Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say more.

But having a meal together isn’t too much, is it?”

Seeing her casual acceptance, Neville felt a pang of guilt.

He nodded.

“Sure, why not?”

The resolution came surprisingly smoothly, leaving Neville in a cheerful mood.

He even found himself excited to recommend the restaurant’s delicious dishes to Susie.

As they conversed, unburdened by the weight of their potential marital ties, the dinner became an enjoyable experience.
