Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 66

Even though I was curious, I didn’t bother asking Neil, ‘cause it was not like he would spill the beans anyway.

I didn’t know when I dozed off. I didn’t get much sleep last night, so now all I wanted was to hit the hay. When I woke up, I found myself not in the car, but on a bed. The surroundings clued me in that it was Neil’s room.

Holding my forehead, I couldn’t recall how I ended up on the bed, but Neil walked in at that moment, asking me, “Did you get enough sleep? If you’re good and rested, come on down for food, my mom and the others are waiting.”

Tll be there in a jiffy.” I replied, feeling a tad embarrassed.

Then Neil left the room.

My phone buzzed at that moment. It was a call from my mom, telling me that today was Faith’s birthday. Mom had already called her to wish her happy birthday, and she hoped I could send Faith a birthday wish too.

Usually, our parents would just send a simple message on their birthdays. It was our generation who took care of the whole gift–giving thing.

I immediately agreed to it, not mentioning to my mom that Faith and the others were waiting for me downstairs for dining. After hanging up, I hurried downstairs, wanting to find a hiding spot as soon as I reached the dining room.

Aside from Neil, Ryan and Faith, all of Neil’s uncles and aunts were there, sitting around a large table.
