Chapter 106

Neil replied, “1 saw Stella hitting the bar, so I figured you wouldn’t be at her place”

Stella was nothing if not a party animal. The bar was like a second home to her.

“Oh. Thanks. You can go now.“I wrapped myself in my bathrobe, still giving him the cold shoulder.

Neil couldn’t care less. He even sat down next to me, apparently not keen on leaving

I was not wearing any underwear. When Neil was checking my foot earlier, I had to be extra cautious not to give him a peep show.

How was I supposed to change with him sitting here?

“What did my mom tell you about Karina?” Out of the blue, he brought up that girl.

“Not much, she just briefly mentioned your relationship with her and that she jumped into a river and killed herself because you married me.” I looked down, my tone was flat..

Every time Karina was mentioned, I could tell Neil would get depressed.

That was his Achilles‘ heel. If he wasn’t so against divorce, he would never have let his mom spill the beans about that.

*Bonnie looks a lot like her.” Neil’s remark left me speechless.

He saw Bonnie as a substitute for Karina. What could I, an audience member, say about this storyline that seemed straight out of a movie?

Blame it on me for not looking like Karina. If I did, five years would have been ample time for Neil to fall for me.

“How did you meet?” I asked after a while.

“A friend introduced us” Neil’s answer was plain.
