Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 296

First, I got wind from Bonnie that Neil once gave her a wad of cash. I tried to confront Neil face to face, but it was a big flop. Then, I got the proof from Russel.

Plus, I found out that Karina was pregnant when she kicked the bucket.

Later, when I went to Russel for the proof, I got photographed, and the pics were sent to Neil, which stirred up a row between us.

Was all this really part of Russel’s grand scheme? Like setting up Bonnie and Neil in a room alone to be misunderstood by others? Was that his doing, too?

I hadn’t waited for someone like this in a long time, and that someone was still Neil. My heart was hanging in midair, waiting for the final outcome.

If Neil didn’t come back, then I could pretty much confirm that he had truly given up on me. Everything that followed, I would have to face on my own.

Winter mornings came late. With no lights on, I sat in the dim living room, staring at the front door
