Chapter 1189

Shane shook his head. “I don’t have much to do with the Medicina family, and my acquaintance with Caleb is nothing before exchanging formalities. Hence, I don’t know anyone in the Medicina family at all.”

“I see…” Neera murmured thoughtfully.

“What’s wrong? Do you feel there’s something off about that man?”

“It’s not really that, and there’s nothing wrong.” Neera would rather tell herself not to overthink, if she couldn’t figure it out, she just wouldn’t dwell on it.

Shane didn’t pay much attention on such a minor hiccup, he looked at the delicious food in front of Neera and the chicken leg in her hand, and smiled.

“You hardly ate anything just now, why not have a little more? Consider it a late-night snack. After eating, you can get a good night’s sleep.”

Neera was not hungry just now, but looking at these delicacies, sh

actually felt her appetite being whetted.

In no time at all, the night gradually deepened after they filled their bellies.

Neera tilted her head back to gaze at the night sky through the gaps in the tree canopy, listening to the intermittent chirping of insects. She began to feel a growing sense of tranquility in her heart.

The image of Jean’s face gradually became clear in her mind.

She couldn’t help but wonder, what was he doing at this moment?

Are you still busy with work? Or perhaps in a meeting?

Could it be possible that he is thinking of me right now?

When she thought carefully, they hadn’t seen each other for almost two months. This was the first time they had been apart for such a long period.

In fact, we parted when we had disagreement…

I really can’t wait to see him.

Once things here are settled, I will go see him after I’ve left the dense forest.

Reconcile with him, just like before, and then never argue with him again. We will never part ways again…

“Neera? Neera?” Shane’s voice came from afar, gradually getting closer.

Neera came back to her senses and looked at him apologetically. “I’m sorry. Did you need something? I was lost in thought and didn’t hear you.”

Shane raised an eyebrow. “No worries. I’m just reminding you that it’s getting late. You should head into the tent and rest soon.”

After he finished speaking, he asked another question, “What were you just thinking about? You had such a gentle expression.”

Neera pursed her lips and chuckled, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“I’m missing my family, my children, my aunt, and also missing Jean.”

This was the first time she had so openly mentioned this man in front of him.

“You haven’t met him yet, have you? My fiancé. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. I have no idea what he’s up to these days. When I’m bored, I will just think about him.”

Shane was somewhat surprised. His gaze carried a hint of profound meaning.

“I know who he is, but this is the first time I’ve heard you mention him. It seems your state of mind now is different from when I first met you.”

Neera curved her lips into a faint smile. “I suppose so. Something happened before and that left me with some emotional baggage. But now, that has been solved. It was through this experience that I realized some things aren’t as important as they seem. What’s most important is to understand what you truly want. Once you see your own heart clearly, there’s nothing left to worry about.”

If it were in the past, she would not have spoken these words to anyone.

But now, the longing she had for Jean grew deeper and deeper.

Certain emotions overflowed as if it was urgently seeking a way to express them, which was why she was able to

voice these words.

However, after she spoke, she became shy again as her fair cheeks flushed with a faint blush.

“Alright, I’m feeling a bit tired, so I’m going to head back and get some sleep. I appreciate your efforts tonight to watch over things. Please, be careful.”

Shane gave a hum of acknowledgement, watching her enter the tent, then let out a sigh.

It seems like Avery doesn’t even have the chance to take advantage of the situation anymore.

Neera simply washed up a bit, then lay down.

It was her first time sleeping in a tent, and that too in the depths of the forest, so she couldn’t help but feel a bit

nervous.

However, when she saw the firelight outside and the silhouette of someone standing guard outside her tent, her heart settled down again.

She was drowned in exhaustion, and felt sleepy soon.

In her drowsy haze, just as she was about to fall asleep, the face of the man with the scar suddenly appeared in her mind.

In that instant, it seemed as if she suddenly understood where that sense of discord was coming from.

It was about the man’s temperament!

-The man’s demeanor was completely at odds with his face.

Even though he was clearly just a follower by Caleb’s side, his aura seemed to overshadow Caleb’s for some

reason.

That sense of nobility and the aura of one who had long held a high position, was revealed in his every move, down to the finest detail.

How could this be? He’s clearly under Caleb’s command, yet he possesses such an aura.

And why does this aura give me an inexplicable sense of familiarity…

It’s as if…

These questions kept spinning in her mind, troubling her.

But she was just too tired that she drifted off to sleep. Soon, sleep swept over her, plunging her into dreamland…
