Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 155

I turned around to see Neil standing there with a grim face, having clearly heard me call him a “jerk.”

I waved to Cathie coolly. “You should head off, drive safe tonight”

Cathie nodded, shot Neil a glare, and zoomed off with a press of the gas pedal.

She’s so free and easy, so cool.

If I had been half as free spirited as her, I wouldn’t have ended up with Neil, and none of this would have happened.

“So I’m a jerk in your eyes?” Neil’s voice was icy cold.

“What I think of you doesn’t matter, as long as you’re the best man in Bonnie’s eyes, that’s enough, isn’t it?” I retorted, “Neil, get a grip, Bonnie is important to you, and not just because of Karina. Stop coming to me with all this weird stuff.”

Ready to leave, I turned around only to have Neil grab my wrist and force me into his car. I tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge.
