Chapter 1250


    Chapter 1250


    Adriana examined the small wounds on her palm and reflected on her shoulder injury, which made her


    sigh in frustration.


    “I had hoped to provide you with a peaceful life as a girl, but your uncle insisted on passing the family’s


    leadership to you, exposing you to numerous dangers and repeated attacks. I can’t believe he… If you


    weren’t safe and sound now, I would have definitely argued with your uncle.”


    Neera’s heart was warmed by these words, but she also found them amusing.


    “Don’t worry about that. You’vee a long way to be able to live happily with your love. I don’t want to


    be the one to ruin your rtionship.”


    Adriana snorted. “Regardless, this position was forced upon you by him. If anything happens to you, I


    will definitely confront him!”


    Neera smiled faintly. “Look, I’m fine. Besides, I want to help both of you. You and Uncle Chad have


    missed so many years together. Now that you finally have the chance to be together, it would be a


    shame if he’s still entangled with the Gordon family’s affairs and can’t break free. I can see that he


    wants to spend all his remaining time with you. I also want you two to live happily and undisturbed. So,


    this is my own choice, not something he forced upon me.”


    Adriana looked at her, her eyes soft and gentle. “My dear girl… you’re always so sensible.”


    As the conversation continued, the topic naturally shifted to Neera’s love life.


    “Enough about me, let’s talk about you.”


    Neera blinked. “Me? What is there to talk about?”


    Adriana chuckled lightly, yfully poking Neera on the forehead. “Don’t think you can avoid the


    question. How are things between you and Avery now? I can tell that he really likes you. He has gone


    above and beyond to protect you this time. What do you think of him?”


    Upon hearing the name Avery, the three little ones who were skipping ahead suddenly slowed down,


    their ears perked up to listen carefully to the conversation behind them.


    “About Mr. Cox…” Neera murmured thoughtfully, “He’s a good man. I’m grateful for all the kindness he


    has shown me and I’m always thinking about how I can repay him.”


    “Is it just gratitude? I think he doesn’t care about you repaying your debt, nor does he want you to


    always keep your distance.”


    “He might not care, but I do.”


    Neera took a moment to gather her thoughts, then expressed her stance in a gentle voice.


    “He and I are neither rtives nor particrly close friends. It’s only because of Uncle Chad’s


    rtionship with him that I have received so much help from him. Naturally, I owe him a debt of


    gratitude.”


    With just one sentence, the distance between Neera and Avery seemed to have grown even further.


    Adriana wasn’t surprised.


    “I understand that you don’t have feelings for him. No matter what he does, he can’t win your heart. In


    fact, your uncle and I have thought about this too. Even with what happened between you and Jean,


    you still wouldn’t ept Avery. So, we have no intention of forcing this marriage on you. Do as you


    please, but what is all thismotion. I’m hearing about in Phison?”


    The topic reminded Neera of her predicament.


    “When I first arrived at the Gordon residence, Mr. Cox used our engagement as a guarantee to secure


    my position and dispel the doubts of the Bartitsu Guild. I never expected that this matter would attract


    so much attention in Phison, and I’m still figuring out how to resolve it….


    Adriana smiled slightly. “You don’t need to worry about cleaning up the mess. Avery is a responsible


    man. He will naturally handle the matter satisfactorily. As for being the talk of the town, it’s only natural.


    After all, Avery is an outstanding bachelor. Whether it’s his looks, family background, or abilities, he


    excels in every aspect. He’s the cream of the crop, naturally attracting a lot of attention. He might even


    be the dream lover of countless girls. It’s just that you didn’t fall for him.”


    As she spoke, she paused for a moment, then smiled suggestively.


    “Well, it isn’t surprising. After being with a man as outstanding as Jean, it’s hard for anyone else to


    catch your eye. After all, there’s no one quite like him.”


    Whenever Neera thought of Jean, her heart would flutter uncontrobly, and a smile would


    subconsciously appear on her lips.


    Upon noticing this, Adriana had an epiphany and asked, “Have you two… made up?”


    Neera bit her lip lightly, nodded, and felt inexplicably shy.


    Seeing this, Adriana was genuinely happy for her.


    “It seems you have resolved the conflicts in your heart, which puts me at ease. I can tell that Jean loves


    you deeply, valuing you above all else. What happened in the past wasn’t intentional on his part. It was


    a series of unfortunate misunderstandings. On the bright side, it might have been destiny’s way of


    bringing you two together. Even though it started out as a mistake, it blossomed into something


    beautiful. It wasn’t in vain after all. You two are truly meant to be.”


    Neera nodded gently, her eyes glistening with tender joy.


    “I have been thinking these past few days. Fate has brought him to me and blessed me with the most


    adorable children. As the past cannot be changed, I shouldn’t dwell on it. Instead, I should look forward


    and focus more on the present and the future. Moreover, after everything that has happened, I have


    come to understand my own heart. I don’t want to lose him.”All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
