[Comprehensive Anglo-American] A genius report on love

Chapter 26 Gift

At that moment, Neil really wanted to get closer, pull her into his arms and give her a good kiss, just like he did many years ago.

He couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Mia at the moment.

More than a year ago, he thought that Kate was the love of his life, and he would do anything to save her.

However, the reality ruthlessly told him that everything was just a hoax.

He later thought that he would be discouraged by love, even in the face of ara, he still chose to live a free life.

Ke Mia gave him a completely different feeling.

They met when they were young. Although they didn't have much money, they were full of dreams and longings for future life, and they also treated love purely and without reservation.

He never had the slightest doubt that she had any selfish intentions or plans for his love, so when she lost the news, he searched so frantically, fearing that something bad happened to her.

Even if someone told him that the girlfriend he was thinking of had already left Mexico safely, he never gave up for a moment in his heart.

Until Alex's vitality and enthusiasm moved him...

"Mia, do you think I will accept your perfunctory explanation?"

Neil Caffrey, he is the most outstanding deception master in the world, how could he be easily fooled by such a random excuse made up by Mia.

"Actually, that's—"

At a close distance, Mia already felt the oppression this man exerted on her. His icy blue eyes were full of magic power, and just one glance would make people unable to look away.

He still has her familiar smell, the light lilac-flavored perfume with a fruity smell, mixed with the smell of his male hormones, which strongly stimulates your senses.

He always likes to apply a little bit of perfume on his neck, and the smell lingers in your nose so easily when you are in close contact, you can't help but be attracted by him.

Mia realized that her memory of Neil was much deeper than she had imagined, and just the familiar perfume and body odor could make her unable to resist falling into the memories of the past.

Those pictures are like a black and white movie, replaying in my mind one after another.

She can still remember the two of them walking hand in hand on the streets of foreign countries. At that time, they were short of money. In order to taste the most authentic local specialties and save enough travel expenses to go to the next country smoothly, they had to do everything they could. Various means, although embarrassment cannot be avoided in many cases, it is still an extremely sweet memory.

"What? What happened at that time?" Their bodies were almost touching, and Neil's soft whispers in her ear were almost flirtatious.

After drinking, it was easy to let go of her defenses, and her heart melted under Neil's charm again. Mia couldn't hold it anymore, "I...at that time... I encountered a little trouble...so..."

"Neil, look what I've brought—"

At the moment when Mia was about to tell the truth, Pete suddenly pushed open the door, and the ambiguous scene on the balcony also made him stunned.

"Oh, my god--"

Mia recovered from her trance, and with a flick of her hand, the whole glass of wine and the glass slipped from her fingertips. She subconsciously wanted to grab it, but forgot that she was leaning against the railing and almost slipped.

"Be careful!" It turned out that Neil hugged her in time.

Pete was a little embarrassed, "I don't seem to come at the right time?"

Although he had already guessed something from the expressions and behaviors of Neil and Mia in the office in the afternoon, he never expected that it would develop so quickly...

Mia leaned against Neil's chest and her cheeks were hot. Fortunately, she blushed after drinking and didn't see any clues. She hurriedly pushed him away, "Actually, it's nothing, just... about the daytime case. , I thought of something, so I came to discuss it with Neil. And as Neil's new supervisor, I also want to care about his living conditions."

"I was worried that the two of you would not be able to get along with Neil's loose and cunning character, so I specially prepared some gifts for Neil to give you. I didn't expect that your relationship is much better than I expected."

"It's this?" Neil quickly took the beautifully wrapped gift box from Pete's hand.

The sapphire blue carton is decorated with gold and rice-colored ribbons.

Neil twitched in the palm of his hand, the weight was quite light, and he couldn't see what it was for the time being.

"Peter, that's not your style!"

"Oh, Elizabeth helped choose it." Pete explained.

"Since the recipients are all here, I won't be polite." Neil raised his hand and threw the gift box towards Mia.

Mia took the gift: "Thank you."

"Peter is here, why don't you take it apart and see if you like it?"

Neal couldn't wait to see what kind of gift would suit Mia in Pete's eyes.

"Okay!" Untied the ribbon, opened the carton, and Mia pulled it out——

A set of sexy lingerie with red and black lace...

"this?!"

Mia blinked, with an almost uncontrollable smile on her face.

What the hell is Pete doing?Could it be that Neil dropped his bag in advance?

But it didn't look like he knew that Pete would visit unexpectedly in advance.

"No, no, that's not the case. This... must be somewhere... something wrong."

Pete subconsciously wanted to reach out and take away the sexy transparent lace bra that was hanging on Mia's fingertips at the moment, but he raised his hand in mid-air and felt wrong, so he took it back.

God knows, this is a gift he has chosen for a long time to give to Elizabeth on their anniversary next week. How did it end up in the gift box for Mia?

"Peter, I can understand that you are implying that you want to match me with—" Neil cast a frivolous look in Mia's direction.

"No, I have to seriously declare that this is just a misunderstanding!" Pete almost stuttered in embarrassment, "I...I don't know how this... how this thing got into the box, I obviously didn't choose it. this!"

Pete's nervous look made Mia couldn't help teasing, "Oh, Pete, don't tell me, you mean, you chose another style?" He took out a thong with only two thin straps and a silk rose embellished, hooked it to his fingertips and swayed gently.

Pete's face couldn't be more ugly at the moment.

Mia continued to add details with a look of embarrassment, "Although, I also think that this style doesn't seem to suit me. However, considering its expensive price, then I..."

"Mia! For God's sake, don't—" Pete was about to beg Mia to stop talking, but the other party changed the subject.

"Then I'd better return it to the original owner." Saying so, Mia had repacked the carton and placed it on the table in front of Pete.

"Thank you. Mia, I owe you a gift. I will remember it and deliver it to you in person someday."

A farce finally came to an end, Pete came and left in a hurry.

Originally, he just wanted to go on to explore the incredible relationship between Mia and Neil. Although there was a small mistake in the process, it was not without gain.

At least he was sure of one thing, Mia and Neil might not be just old acquaintances.

At the moment when he suddenly opened the door, the eyes of those two people looked at each other clearly as if...

Like an old lover.

Yes, it is the tenderness of a lover, Pete defined it in his heart.

*******************************************************************************

Seeing Pete leave, Mia also wondered if she should find an excuse to go home, she almost said everything just now, this is not a good sign.

However, her small thoughts still failed to escape Neil's eyes. Before Mia could speak, he directly brought up the topic that Mia was most interested in.

"Number, nt-k9732."

"What... what?" Mia's voice trembled slightly.

"Your face tells me you already know what I'm talking about. I hear you've just come back from London."

"So, what do you mean?"

Of course she knew the meaning of the string of codes Neil mentioned, that was the storage number of the voyage diary she took away from the British Museum that night.

Since he had already taken away the most crucial part from it, and still deliberately brought it up in front of himself, what purpose did he have?

Seeing Mia's vigilant expression, Neil just took out a few pages of the diary that were sealed in a sealed bag from a hidden compartment behind the wall.

"I went to many places to look for you in those years, and I don't know how to get you back. I know you are very interested in the treasure recorded in the diary, so I took it away on my own initiative. I just hope you see that The code left in this diary will come back to me later.”

"You...you never thought, what if I...have never been to London, and haven't seen the code you left?"

She suddenly began to regret, or feel guilty.

If she knew that he was so crazy, exhausting all his efforts, trying to find himself, then she would never have the heart to just cut off contact with him.

However, there has never been an if in this world.

Love should be a matter between two people, but she used to be too self-righteous. When she made plans for their future without authorization, she didn't put herself in the other person's shoes.

She used to feel sorry for herself and felt that it was Neil who didn't stick to his determination to love until death, but she didn't know that it was actually she who hurt him more...
