Chapter 381:
“That’s not necessary,” Bonita quickly responded. “How about we keep it as a virtual relationship instead p>
Neal frowned as he read her reply.
He couldn’t quite figure out the girl behind the messages.
He didn’t know her name, her age, or even where she lived.
All he knew was that she was his most devoted fan, someone who clearly admired him deeply.
As his girlfriend now, he expected her to be excited, eager to meet in person, and proudly declare their relationship. Yet, all she wanted was to keep it virtual?
Neal felt utterly baffled.
His phone buzzed with a notification—it was a payment of two hundred thousand dollars.
The young girl didn’t waste any time. She acted fast, almost too eagerly, as if she couldn’t wait to claim the title of his girlfriend—or rather, his virtual girlfriend.

“Why are you asking this all of a sudden?” Fernanda leaned in closer. “Did something happen p>
“Um, everything is fine. I was just making a casual observation,” Neal quickly responded. “I noticed a mother and son arguing while I was outside clearing my head. It got me thinking about the societal norm that children should show respect and obedience to their parents p>
Fernanda chuckled at his remark. “Ah, I get it. It seems like you get a bit sentimental after a drink, getting caught up in other people’s issues?” But Neal’s gaze remained focused, his expression serious, not a hint of amusement.
He pressed on, “Give me an answer p>
Fernanda paused for a moment, sensing his intensity. After a brief silence, she spoke. “While the expectation for children to respect their parents is important, I don’t think it’s always necessary. Some individuals simply don’t deserve to be called parents p>
