Jane was so overjoyed after seeing Neil that she forgot everything else.
How much she had missed him, how she longed for him, the only person in the world who really cared for her.
Her love!
Caleb beside them was just giving introductions. Jane’s eyes were full of tears, she knew how much she must have hurt him.
After separation, she had felt all the pain, she had put her life at risk to grow as quickly as possible.
Just to be with him, she did everything she could, even planning to poison her father to get him out of the way.
And finally, they were together.
Without a word, she burst into sobs and jumped into his arms, holding him with every bit of her strength.
Worried that he might disappear again, she would lose him forever, she clung to him for dear life.
This shocked all three of them, Neil, Cynthia and Caleb, even Robert in the distance who was calling his father to give the good news.
"Huh? Why is he here?" Robert cursed under his breath, but he could not make a scene here.
"..." Cynthia’s eyes narrowed, then she finally rembered that Jane and Neil used to be in a relationship.
Everyone knew about it, though Neil had told her that they had broken up.
She broke up right after hearing about his talent but Neil didn’t share much about her or their relationship.
Therefore, Cynthia had a bad image of Jane in her mind.
But seeing the current her made her wonder if sothing was hidden from them all or was Jane again acting to get him back?
"H- Huh? Jane, what are you doing?" Caleb was so shocked and felt embarrassed.
Although he only planned to take her as a concubine at most, but he had just introduced Jane as his fiance.
And now she had jumped into another man’s arms, and this man who also had so relation with Cynthia.
This made Caleb so mad that he almost launched an attack at Neil but paused seeing Cynthia glare.
Caleb was sure if he attacked, she would attack him instantly.
"..." Neil was just as surprised, he expected her to act cold and might now that she was going to marry soone strong and influential like Caleb.
This took him off guard, he had wondered if there was so interference of her family in the breakup.
But suddenly hearing that she is soone else’s fiance, made him mad and jealous.
Erasing his feelings for her was not at all easy.
After calming his mind and quickly beating heart, Neil held her shoulders and pushed her away.
"What are you doing... Ms Jane? That too right in front of your fiance?" he spoke, his voice devoid of any emotion, instead he seed so cold.
Jane felt her heart shatter, her vision was blurry, her hands stretched as if she wanted to hold him.
They were standing so close yet infinitely away from each other.
His coldness and the way he referred to her made her feel so bad, she felt broken.
Was this the pain he felt before? It was understandable, she was the first to hurt him, so it was just payback.
"N- Neil SOB I didn’t-" Jane wanted to clarify everything as her father hurried forward, pulling her arm and stopping her.
"What are you doing? Even if he is your childhood friend, that is not appropriate, your future husband is right here." Robert spoke hurriedly.
Emphasizing the word husband to make Neil angry.
Robert also suppressed his anger for the disrespect Neil showed over the call, he really wanted to snap his neck.
Jane shook her head as she looked at Neil and saw his gaze turn even colder, it made her feel so terrible.
But that coldness, does it an he still has lingering feelings for her? If she makes everything clear, there is still a chance for them right?
"And look, your ’friend’ Neil already is here with a lady- oh he is here with Queen Cynthia." Robert was surprised, but he wanted to make it clear to his daughter that Neil had moved on.
She had no place in his life now.
"What the fuck are you saying, you old bastard?!!" Caleb got so angry that he turned and held Robert’s collar, his eyes red.
"Uh... Oh! S- Sorry haha I didn’t an that." Robert suddenly realized that this guy liked Cynthia.
Everyone knew just how big of a simp he is for her. Robert isn’t afraid of Caleb but of the power behind him.
Neil frowned, he wasn’t interested in any of that drama, but his emotions had been stirred by Jane.
He didn’t know what to think anymore, especially because of what Caleb had said earlier.
Neil actually thought that he would talk it out with Jane, maybe, just maybe she did it unwillingly.
But that might not be the case?
"Robert, is it? Leave!" Cynthia spoke, her eyes glowing with a dangerous light.
"Oh Uh Y- Yes Queen Cynthia, sorry for disturbing you." Robert took a step back, straightened his clothes and walked away hurriedly.
He is the typical type of man who acts weak to strong and strong to weak.
"Don’t even think about her." Before leaving, Robert didn’t forget to leave behind a remark.
"..." Neil averted his gaze from that pig and looked at Caleb and Jane.
What a love square.
"And you, Jane? Do you have anything else to do here? If not, you can take your fiance away and leave us alone." Cynthia spoke, she could feel that Neil’s mind was in turmoil.
She couldn’t even hold his hand in public, so she decided to remove these guys from here.
"What? Fiance? This rabid dog is not my fiance, I would rather burn my skin than even get close to him." Jane quickly said with a look of utter disgust on her face.
"Uhm..." Caleb stood there awkwardly, he felt angry at this pair of father and daughter, deciding to take his revenge later on.
But for now, he had already told them about it, and now Jane was disrespecting him so badly.
If his image gets damaged so terribly, he might even lose the king’s position.
"haha Looks like she is still mad over sothing, well this sort of fight is normal. Oh, excuse for a mont, I am getting a call." Caleb said as he hurriedly walked away.
The crowd was already whispering among themselves, so even laughing openly at him.
"Neil, I am sorry SOB please, at least listen to o- once, I really have nothing to do with that pig!!" Jane hurriedly spoke, afraid that Caleb might have created yet another misunderstanding.
Cynthia remained silent, sure that he would deal with it on his own.
"What’s there to discuss? I don’t even recognize you." Neil said, looking away.
She stepped forward, taking his hand. Holding his hands after so long, Jane felt so happy.
Back then, he would shower her with love, after their separation she had changed a lot.
Growing colder, but at this mont she didn’t care about anything, she was ready to do anything as long as it ant getting him back.
TSK...
Cynthia clicked her tongue, now she was feeling really annoyed, she cannot even hold her man’s hand and this woman was doing that.
An intense feeling of jealousy rose in her heart.
Neil tried to pull his hand back but she held it with all her strength, he pulled her closer along with his hands.
Jane didn’t miss this chance, as she let go and wrapped her arms around him, tighter than before.
She closed her eyes and buried her face into his chest, inhaling his scent and quickly muttered.
"I- I never wanted to break up with you, no matter whatever synergy you received. You know how much I love you, it is because of my father and grandfather, they threatened ." Jane began to speak at full speed in one breath, she didn’t care about her image or anything else.
"Stop, let go first." Neil tried to free her hands, but she was stuck to him like a leech and just wouldn’t separate.
He felt helpless, he felt his clothes dampen by her tears, as she kept crying.
This was pulling too much attention towards them and that was not good.
Jane had seen Cynthia and her instincts told her that the two might already be in a relationship, the realization made her heart sink.
Despite it, she hoped that her feeling was nothing more than that.
"C- Calm down and let’s talk it out." Neil said, as Jane finally loosened her arms and took a step back, her tear marks were clearly visible on his chest.
Jane glanced at Cynthia and she trembled, she clearly sensed jealousy on her face, her expressions looked so cold.
She was angry, so the two were already in a relationship? Or at least, Cynthia was in love with Neil.
Jane’s heart sank, she felt as if sothing was stuck in her throat and she couldn’t even speak.
This was such an ugly feeling, as if needles were poking her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
After eting him in so long, Jane didn’t want to lose Neil. He was all she had, everything that gave aning to her life.
She didn’t even feel like living without him in her life, after they separated she had even developed such a serious heart condition.
Before they could speak, Cynthia created a barrier that stopped all the sounds from leaking then she spoke:
"Whatever might have happened in the past doesn’t matter, the past is past, while in the present, I am his wife." Cynthia spoke, her jealousy ter was about to explode.
