Chapter 746 - Seven Hundred And Forty-six: How Long Have You Had Feelings For Me (1/2)
The third point of view:
”Neon, seriously talk to me!” Ailee kept on bothering him even as he drove to school. His jaw ticked and his hand clenched around the steering wheel.
”One more talk and I'll seriously crash into the next car,” He warned her as he wasn't able to take her disturbances anymore.
”Fine!” Ailee sat up with determination, ”Crash into the next car and perhaps, we can continue our conversation in the afterlife,” She was cool with his threat.
Unable to stand her hassling anymore, Neon had no choice but to pack at the roadside.
”Fine, what do you want to say? Talk turkey,” He said with a firm voice that had a trace of agitation.
”You're trying to avoid me, what's the problem?” Ailee sensed it. Whenever they had a problem like this, they always sorted it out together, but today's own, he was different. He was dodging her as if he was guilty or something.
”Because I just found out that I don't deserve you,” Neon said in his mind. All this while he had worked quite hard to show her how much she means to him, however, Neon never got to ask himself, does he even deserve her?
”Allen was right,” he said to her, ”I don't deserve to be with you guys. I'm a jinx and all I have brought to you guys so far is nothing but misery,”
Ailee frowned at him, ”Why are you speaking like this?”
”Moreover, my mother wants me back. The best thing I can do is leave and keep you guys safe - my departure would solve everything,” Neon was sure of it. The Spencers have done enough for him, the best thing he could do now was leave now before he does much damage.
”So that's why you kept it a secret,” Ailee finally figured it out, ”You were scared of leaving us,”
”But there's no point anymore, is there?” he chuckled mirthlessly,
”I'm leaving after all,”
”No, you're not leaving anyway,” She told him.
”Why not?”
”Look, I know my father and he would surely figure a way out of this,”
”Ailee, You don't -”
”Neon!” She grabbed his face, cupping it with her palm, ”Remember what Isabella told us about how she rescued you from your mother when you were young. She said you were all bruised and broken,” Ailee reminded him, ”Your mother needs treatment and until she gets better, you are not meeting her!” Her decision was final.
