Without saying anything more, Neville said, “It’s gettingte.
Let me drive you home.
”
This time, as they walked back, Neville set a slower pace than before.
Susie, with a nce full of hope and affection, reached out to hold Neville’s hand.
Neville paused momentarily and nced down as Susie tightened her grip on his hand.
He didn’t pull away.
Instead, he continued walking with a steady pace.
Susie let out a silent sigh of relief, her grip on his hand growing firmer as a spontaneous smile graced her Lips.
Neville escorted Susie home.
They were greeted by Kamryn, Susie’s mother, waiting anxiously at the door.
Relief washed over her at the sight of Susie returning safely, but concern quickly resurfaced.
She directed a questioning nce at Neville.
“It’s quitete.
Where have you been with Susie?”
sping her mother’s arm, Susie responded with a hint of yfulness, “Mom, I’m not a child anymore.
I was just out for dinner with my boyfriend.
You don’t need to worry about me.
Besides, don’t you trust Neville?”
Kamryn opened her mouth to respond, but the sight of Susie’s pleading eyes made her words falter.
With a resigned sigh, she turned to Neville.
“I apologize if I came across as harsh.
It’s just that Susie has always been punctual since her childhood.
Her beingte tonight had me worried.
”
“I understand,” Neville replied, his tone respectful.
“By the way, it’s about time we discuss your marriage with Susie.
Please inform your parents that we should have a discussion this week.
”
Kamryn then broached a more serious topic.
Neville acknowledged with a nod.
“Okay, I’ll let them know.
If there’s nothing else, I should be heading back.
Good night.

The following day, Upon entering Matthew’s office, Neville found Matthew deeply engrossed in work.
Matthew nced up briefly at Neville’s arrival but quickly refocused on his tasks without a word.
Unbothered by Matthew’s silence, Neville made himselffortable in the office, casually pulling out his phone to pass the time.

“What do you feel like having for lunch? I’ll tell Fernando to bring it.
”
“Ah, you’re finally ready to talk to me,” Neville said with a grin, putting away his phone.
“You haven’t done anything to irritate me today.
Why wouldn’t I talk to you?” Matthew responded, shrugging.
“By the way, it’s such a nice day.
Shouldn’t you be out on a date instead of here?”
