Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 221

I was planning to have a simple dinner with Russel, trying to calm the roller-coaster of emotions I was feeling today, but things didn’t go according to plan.

“Russel, you’re eating here?” A woman barged into our sightline. She looked a bit younger than me, with a sweet oval face.

I recognized that voice. It was the same voice of the woman who answered Russel’s phone this morning.

I didn’t speak and just silently stared at Russel.

Russel gave me a quick glance. He seemed to relax a bit after seeing that I had no particular reaction. He answered coldly, “Yes. I’m having dinner with my girlfriend.”

The woman immediately turned to me and gave me a gentle smile, “Are you Irene? You’re so pretty! No wonder Russel is so smitten with you.”

“Hello” I replied politely.

“Hello, I’m Chloe Reynolds. I answered Russel’s phone this morning. I’m really sorry about that. Please forgive me.” The woman looked genuinely remorseful, without a hint of pretense.

I was moved by her gentleness and sincerity. So I just nodded slightly. “It’s okay Russel has explained it to me. I trust him.”

Chloe answered cheerfully, “That’s good! I was afraid you’d misunderstand.”

After speaking, she gave Russel another look.

From that single glance, I could see that her affection for Russel went way beyond friendship. But her eyes were full of restraint, as if she were trying her best to control her emotions.

After Chloe left, I jokingly asked, “Does Ms. Reynolds have a crush on you?”

“No.” Russel’s answer was swift. It seemed like he didn’t want to dwell on this topic.

I nodded, choosing not to pry further.
