Why was she not going according to the script again?
"Speak up. What do you want to explain?"
Neil sucked in a cold breath.
"Very well!" Aurelia chuckled out of her rage and threw the matching rings at him as she said through gritted teeth, "Liar!"
"Aurelia, I didn't lie! I just… got dramatic."
"And you're arguing!"
"I-I just wanted you to worry slightly! I didn't expect it to be so long. Look at my chat archive with Carter if you don't believe me!"
Aurelia widened her eyes. There was an archive she could go through!
Neil lamented in his heart. Why did he lose his brain-to-mouth filter once he panicked?
Aurelia snickered and went to the archive, listening to all Carter's previous voice messages.
Neil looked dejected and slumped on the bed as if he had lost his soul.
"Stop pretending." Aurelia glanced at him. "Even if you are really in pain, I won't believe it anymore!"
"Au…"
"I'm going back to the palace for a good rest now." Aurelia turned away from him. "Mr. Best Actor, you can take care of yourself!"
Aurelia ran out without looking back after that.
Neil felt miserable and tried to turn over, but his shoulder wound was throbbing in pain. It took him some time before he finally managed to turn over, only to feel something hard under him.
After feeling for it, he realized it was the two diamond rings.
He took them out and carefully examined them in his hand. The two diamonds of varying sizes, one big and one small, were perfect in cutting from every angle, shining with radiant brilliance.
