Chapter 368 I Don’t Want Him To Take Responsibility
Neil could not help but laugh.
This girl…
Nonetheless, when he thought about what happened the day before, he looked as if he was uplifted by that thought.
No matter if she’s Amanda Bowen or Chloe Williams, he was determined to get her!
After thinking about this, he sat on the bed and called Mark for help.
“Send me a set of clothes to the hotel…”
……
Lyla looked at Mark. “Where are you going so early in the morning?”
Mark was taken aback for a moment and concluded what Neil told him. “Something probably happened yesterday!”
“What happened?” Lyla asked as she immediately became wide awake.
Mark licked his lower lip. “Neil probably did something to Amanda, so he’s at the hotel now and asking me to send some clothes over to him!”
Lyla’s eyes immediately widened. “What did you say?”
“That’s all I can explain for now. I’ll only be able to know what happened after I go over there!” Mark said.
Lyla also sat up. “I’ll go with you!”
“But you must promise me that you’ll stay calm!”
“Don’t worry, I can’t do anything to Neil anyway!”
“Then let’s go!”
Thus, the two went there together.
On their trip there, Lyla called Amanda, but the call would not go through. “What should we do? The call didn’t get through. Do you think that something happened to her?”
Mark drove the car calmly as he smiled. “She’s not that weak. She won’t fall into despair or something just because she did that with a man. Besides, even if it was someone else, something like that won’t happen either!”
What Mark said seemed to be true.
“Then why isn’t she answering her phone?!”
“Maybe she’s just feeling shy and embarrassed, so she doesn’t know how to face it! After all, such a matter happened so suddenly…” Mark could not help but laugh as he said this.
Lyla furrowed her brows. “What are you laughing for?!”
“I just think that Neil is too impatient!”
“Isn’t he just taking advantage of her?!”
“Maybe it’s Amanda that took the initiative?”
“How is that possible?!”
“Why not? Based on what I know about Neil, he isn’t the kind of person that would play around!” Mark said. He could not help but laugh again.
“What are you still laughing for?!”
Mark held Lyla’s hand. “Alright, just wondering, do you think that they’ll be the same as us?!”
“What?”
“That they’ll have a baby first?”
Lyla glared at Mark. “Don’t even think about it!”
“It isn’t impossible. Neil has a naturally cold personality, so I think that it’s good that he managed to meet someone that made him loosen up!”
“But I’m the one who brought Amanda over, so I have to take responsibility for her!”
“Okay, okay, but no matter how you take responsibility, they’re already adults. So we should just observe and not get too involved, okay?” Mark stated.
Lyla looked at him and nodded. “But let me first say this, if Neil takes it too far, then I won’t let him go!”
“Mmhm, I’ll take your side!”
Lyla smiled.
If Neil heard what Mark said, he would definitely spit in Mark’s face.
Well, the wife was strict!
……
Meanwhile, at the hotel.
Mark handed the clothes to Neil. Neil then walked out once he was done changing his clothes.
“So what on Earth happened? Be honest! Otherwise, someone will be interrogating you, and I won’t be able to help you!” Mark said as he secretly pointed at Lyla.
Ever since Mark and Lyla had been together, he would use her as an excuse to betray his friends. Nonetheless, Neil had gotten used to this.
After taking a glance at Lyla, Neil said, “How can you treat your bro like this?!”
“I don’t have a choice, I value love over friendship!”
“I can see that!”
The two of them were still teasing each other, while Lyla was getting impatient. “Okay, stop fooling around! What happened?”
“Lyla… This is a matter between a man and a woman, so what else can it be?” Neil asked.
“So, you mean that you and Amanda really…?” Lyla looked at him and asked.
Neil did not say anything.
“Neil, how could you do that? I even left Amanda to you!”
“Well, I didn’t want to either, but I’ve fallen too deeply into love, so there’s that!” Neil said.
Fallen too deeply into love…
Lyla was speechless upon hearing his words.
“But Amanda…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for her!”
Lyla looked at him and sighed. It already happened, so there was nothing they could do. Besides, Mark said that they were fated lovers, so maybe that was how it should be.
“Alright, you don’t have to worry too much. Don’t you know the kind of person Neil is? If he dares to abandon her after doing it, then even I won’t let him go!” Mark comforted Lyla at the side.
After thinking about it, Lyla could only let this go.
Neil smiled, still looking as if he was reminiscing about what happened yesterday.
Mark looked at him. “Okay, you can stay here and continue reminiscing! However, you should know that you’ll be in a worse situation than before in the days ahead! Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. I’m talking based on my experience, so good luck!”
When Mark mentioned this, Lyla looked at Mark. “What did you say?”
“Huh? Did I say anything?”
“Based on your experience? Hahaha…” Lyla smiled at him. “Looks like you got some explaining to do!”
Upon hearing this, Mark knew that something was off. “Wifey, wasn’t I just talking about what happened between us?”
“Really? Did something like that happen between us?”
“Of course!”
“So, you mean that I didn’t treat you well?”
“... How is that possible?”
“That’s what you meant!”
Mark, “...”
Seeing Mark’s reaction, Neil felt sorry for him.
However, once Neil thought that his future might be similar…
Nonetheless, Neil would still be willing to go through it even if it was something like that!
……
Amanda was looking at her phone, but she did not dare to answer it.
She really felt troubled.
Ahhhhh!
Amanda rolled around on the couch as she buried her head under a pillow.
That was embarrassing.
That was humiliating!
How could something like that happen?!
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Amanda was stunned for a moment. She looked at the door but did not dare to open it.
“Amanda, It’s me! I know that you’re in there, so open up!” Lyla’s voice sounded from outside.
Amanda became indecisive.
She did not want to see anyone at that moment!
“If you don’t open up, then I’ll just go in! I have the key anyway!”
Thus, Amanda immediately hopped off the couch to go open the door.
Once the door opened, Lyla smiled at her.
“It’s just you?”
“If not?”
Seeing that Mark was not there, Amanda felt more relieved. “Then come in!”
After walking in, Lyla said, “Actually, I didn’t bring the key today!”
Amanda, “...”
A trap.
Everything was a trap!!!
Amanda walked back in and curled up on the couch without saying anything, but she did not dare to look at Lyla.
Lyla walked over. “How are you? Have you eaten?”
“I don’t have the appetite!”
“Do you want me to make something for you?”
“No, forget it!” Amanda said. She did not dare to say anything about Lyla’s cooking.
Lyla smiled, picked up her phone, and called Mark. “Help us to order some food!” She immediately hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
“Who did you call?”
“Mark!”
“He’ll be coming over later?”
“He’s just downstairs!”
Amanda, “...”
Sigh, it looked like Amanda really made a fool of herself.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be coming upstairs. He’ll just ask someone to bring the food up!” Lyla said.
Amanda looked at her. “You know everything already?”
“Well… You’ve already taken away Neil’s clothing, but you expect others to not know?!”
Amanda, “...”
She did not think it through!
She really did not think it through!
“Alright, don’t look as if everything is in chaos!” Lyla comforted Amanda.
“It’s embarrassing!” Amanda immediately covered her face. She could not face all this.
“It’s useless to regret it now anyway. Who asked you to drink that much that time? You even made him drink with him!” Lyla said.
Upon hearing this, Amanda raised her head and looked at Lyla. “Really? I did that?”
“What do you think?” Lyla looked at her and asked.
“Don’t stop me and just let me die!”
“Fine, go on then!”
Amanda, “...”
“Ahhhh! It has come to this point, but you’re still treating me like this?!” Amanda said.
“Okay, okay, now isn’t the time to be talking about this. Neil said that he’ll take responsibility for you, so what do you think?” Lyla asked.
“Take responsibility? Take responsibility my ass! Who’ll want him to take responsibility?!” Amanda said.
“You don’t want him to take responsibility?”
“Who’ll want him to take responsibility? I don’t want to ever see him again!” Amanda said.
“But I don’t think that Neil will agree to that!” Lyla said.
Amanda also thought so. She then looked at Lyla. “Lyla, then what should I do now?”
“Actually, I think that Neil is a decent guy, so I think you should give him a chance!”
“Lyla, are you kidding me?!”
“Do I look like I’m kidding?” Lyla asked.
Amanda stared at Lyla for a while and finally looked away. “Stop fooling around!”
Lyla was curious. “Amanda, I’m not going to say much about Neil’s status. He has wealth, power, looks, and charm. He’s the man that almost every woman will dream of having! Now he's here for you, but why do you dislike him so much?”
Amanda, “...”
Even Amanda could not explain it.
Why?
Why?
Amanda laid there, feeling troubled. “I don’t know either. Maybe I just don’t like him!”
“Really?” Lyla asked. What Lyla observed seemed to be different.
“Of course!”
“Then you mean that you really don’t like him?” Lyla asked.
“I don’t! I don’t! I don’t!” Amanda said it three times in a row.
“Okay, in that case, I won’t say much. However, I can tell you that there are quite a lot of girls who like Neil, and quite a few of them are from our company!”
Amanda was stunned for a moment. She then turned back and looked at Lyla. “Who?”
“You don’t like him anyway, so why are you asking?” Lyla asked as she raised an eyebrow.
Amanda felt a little awkward. “I, I just want to know who’s so blind that they’ll like someone like him! Someone that’ll take advantage of others!”
Lyla, “...”
Lyla could tell that Amanda did not actually mean what she said, so she just smiled. “Well, I can't tell you about this!”
“Lyla!”
“You don’t like him anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether you know about it or not! What if Neil really gets together with a lady from our company?” Lyla raised an eyebrow.
Amanda, “...”
For some reason, Amanda felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart.
