Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 92

I gently patted Stella’s head, “Cut the crap, Stella. I’ve told you before that I’m not into your brother.”

Stella rubbed her head, arguing back in a huff. “How can you be so sure you don’t like him? Trust me, my brother is a catch. If you guys get together and he dares treat you badly or looks at another girl, I swear I’ll beat him up myself!”

Simmons was indeed a catch, be it his family background, looks, or character, he’s top–notch.

If only love could be forced, I’d give it a shot with him.

But I simply can’t, and I don’t dare to try if we were to give it a shot and then find out we’re not a match, we’d have to break up, and that could affect my relationship with Stella

After all, that was her brother. Unless I’m 100% certain, I don’t want to give it a try

“Stella, stop meddling in my affairs. I’ve been married before, but you still don’t have a boyfriend. You should focus more on your own future,” I swiftly changed the subject. What type of guy do you like? How about a stable civil servant? I can ask my dad to keep an eye out for you”

As soon as we started talking about her future, Stella seemed a bit down. Her eyes started to dari around, “Forget it. I just want to live freely, Marriage would only tie me down.”

Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, looking a bit guilty. She scurried off to answer the call and then came back to tell me, I’ve got plans for drinks. Gotta run!”

“Don’t drink too much,” I warned helplessly.

“I know!” Stella grabbed her bag and left.
