Chapter 268

I was absolutely chuffed with the outcome, so I happily prepped for a face mask before hitting the hay

Just as I was about to nod off a sudden jolt ran through me snapping me out of my drowsy state

With a poker face. Neil sat up straight, as if he weren’t the one who had just leaned into me

You planning on wearing that face mask all night?” Neil asked as he dangled a mask from his finger

“How did you get in? I asked flabbergasted

“Came to grab something Your door wasn’t locked Neil tossed the mask into the trash casually

rummaging through a drawer before putting out a bor of cigars. You’re always so wary of me so why

did you forget to lock the door when you fell asleep? You need to be careful”

He flashed a knowing smile before making his ext

I stared at the now closed door mentally calling myself an idiot a few times. Only when I was sure Neil

had gone downstairs did I remember to lock the

Neil must have had a few I caught a whiff of alcohol on him earlier. If he drank too much and lost

control, I’d be in real trouble

I double-checked the door, ensuring that it was locked, before finally heading back to bed now feeling

relaxed

I thought locking the door would do the trick, but suddenly, I was rudely awakened by a knock on the

door in the middle of the night. Along with it came Neil’s voice. Who lacked my door? Is there a

burglar?”

His voice was noticeably slurred. Given his tolerance for alcohol, he rarely got drunk. What was up with

him today?

I responded. “Neil, you’re plastered. Go sleep it off in the quest room”

It was quiet for a moment outside. I thought Neil had left, but he went and roped in the maid. The

maid’s innocent voice rang out, “Mr. Whitmore, the door is locked from the inside I can’t open it.”

Neil snapped. Then what good are you? How could you take my money and not do your job?”

The maid replied meekly. “Mr. Whitmore, Ms Finch is resting inside Can I help you to the quest room?”

“Trene is inside?” Neil sounded suddenly sober. He raised his voice, How is that possible? She

divorced me, why would she be here?”

“She she really is inside” The maid started to stutter out of anxiety

I couldn’t bear to listen any longer. Neil’s behavior when he was drunk was infuriating

I got up and opened the door. The two people at the door were both stunned when they saw me

“Ms. Finch, I’ll head downstairs first The maid greeted me before quickly scampering downstairs

Neil’s cheeks were flushed, and he looked genuinely hammered. He stared at me in shock and

confusion, How are you here?”

Seemed like he wasn’t faking it. I responded with irritation from being disturbed. “‘Neill if you’re drunk,

go to sleep. Don’t bother mel

Trene how are you here? Who let you in? Neil painted at me as his towering figure swayed slightly. He

looked utterly perplexed

As soon as he finished his sentence, he almost lost his balance

instinctively reached out to steady him, but I wasn’t strong enough to support him and ended up being

pushed against the door. The door lock jabbed into my back, causing me to gasp in pain

Neil heard my suppressed grunt and sobered up a bit. He steadied himself and pulled me into his arms,

rubbing my back gently with a concerned voice.

Did that hur?”

The pain in my back was unbearable I pushed Neil away. “Are you out of your mind?”

Sorry I’m feeling a bit dizzy Neil rubbed his forehead, looking quite uncomfortable. His voice had

become hoarse from all the drinking. Yes, I asked you to stay with me so you should be here

‘Gost on the

I said coldly

Nel obediently sat down on the bed

“You can sleep here I’m going to the guest room”I picked up my clothes and told Ned

Dont go! Can you keep me company for a bit? Neil stopped me. The usually stern and aloof man

suddenly turned into a pitiful puppy. He held his head, My head hurts so bad I’m going to throw up

ained motionless. Help me take off my shirt || I like throwing up when I move.”

Nel had dinner and played games with Cooper while drinking so he didn’t change his clit or take a

shower

I could have asked the mad to help but with Ned’s drunken state, I was afraid he would bully the maid

Sinodded and went to help her take off his shart

However as soon as i re ched out, he prepared to take off his pants

quickly stopped him, “What are you doing?”

“How else do I take off the shirt? Neil retorted I noticed his sober eyes and realized that i was being

played.

“You’re not drunk at I pointed at Nel angrily, exposing his act

Neil’s acting skills were getting better and better, he almost fooled me

Neil sat up, took a deep breath, and looked at me, “I originally wanted to talk to you about Oscar, but

you really locked the door.”

I stared at him warily, not speaking.

Tve found Oscar. You’ve been worried about him, haven’t you?” Neil asked again.

For the past two days, I have been trying to get in touch with Oscar, but to no avail.

Neil found him in such a short time, which surprised me.

“Really?” I was somewhat skeptical.

Yes. Come sit, and I tell you.” Neil waved at me.

I was afraid he had some ulterior motive, so I only took two steps towards him and did not sit down.

Neil said displeased, “What? You think I’ll bite you?”

I clearly remembered all his shameless acts in the past.

“I can hear you perfectly fine from here. Just say it.’ I just wanted to know what was going on with

Oscar. He didn’t know many people in Rosemont, and the only person he could rely on might be me. If

I didn’t care about him, I was afraid that no one else would.

“Sit down.” Neil’s voice become more serious. He always disliked me contradicting him, “This isn’t good

news. If you waste any more time, you’ll have to face the consequences.”

Alter hearing Neil say this, I instantly became nervous, I disregarded everything and quickly sat down

next to him, “What happened to him?”

Neil looked at me deeply. Since you really care about him, I’m afraid you might become very upset”
