Chapter 702 - Seven Hundred And Two : Fears (2/2)

Ailee's brows furrowed in confusion as she thought hard, could it be that Allen was jealous of her relationship with Neon? Was that why he began to resent them? Neon in particular?

She didn't get to ask Allen further questions since Niklaus declared, ”One more quibble on this table and I would send you both abroad, understood?”

”Yes, father,” they both said in unison, sharing one last fierce glance before looking away.

As expected, there were no more arguments after Niklaus spoke and in no time, dinner was over and the family went to bed except for a certain Spencer.

Ailee tiptoed into the kitchen and brought out a plate of food that she had kept hidden. She put it on a tray, picked a can of juice from the fridge, and headed to a room down the hallway on the first floor that was no other than Neon.

She didn't knock, rather brought out her phone and typed a message to Neon.

[Hey, I know you're not asleep, open up. I'm outside]

Not less than a minute later, she received a response.

[Are you alone?]

Ailee rolled her eyes, what did he take her for? However, she still looked over her shoulder to ensure that she wasn't being followed and typed a reply to him.

[No one saw me, satisfied?]

Almost immediately, the door opened and she saw Neon standing by it. He at once made way for her to come in and she walked in with the tray in her arm.

”Here,” Ailee pushed the tray into his arms as soon as he locked the door, saying, ”You didn't eat much at school today and didn't come down for dinner either. So I got you something to eat instead,”

”Thank you,” Neon was sincerely touched by her action. He removed the lid only to see that it was his favorite food - fried rice with chicken lap. How could she know him so well? Without warning, he leaned down and pressed a kiss at the corner of her lips causing her to stiffen.

Ailee stood frozen to the spot, what just happened? That was dangerously close to her lips. She looked at Neon who didn't even seem bothered by the gesture and had already taken his food to his bed where he sat down on the edge, ready to eat.

Perhaps, he didn't mean to kiss her there and must have done it out of excitement. After all, Neon loved food, Ailee reasoned that way and came to lie down on the same bed since it was spacious.

Truth be told, Neon was an animal when he ate but for some reason, she found it extremely cute. So she lounged on the bed watching him fondly.

And in that moment of watching him, she realized that she and Neon would never be this way forever. One day, she would marry and he would do the same as well. If that was so, Ailee was supposed to be happy but for strange reasons, she was scared.

But why?
