Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 156

“Al, let’s get some breath?”

The moment Russel showed up, Barbara quickly stood up, grabbed Alicia, and left. Both of them, like Stella, believed that Russel had a thing for me and even encouraged me behind my back to accept him. They thought it would not only piss off Neil, but also would get me a good man.

In a teasing tone, I said, “So dashing that half of the young women in the room are sneaking peeks at you. Haven’t you noticed? Or are you shortsighted?” Russel glanced around the room. Indeed, there were many young women, all beautiful and affluent.

I awkwardly avoided his gaze. Of course, I had been watching him, but my watching was different from that of the other women. I was merely observing how popular Russel was.

With his good looks, I could not help but admire Bonnie for being the only one he liked in my past life.
