Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 298

That night, I had no idea where Neil had vanished off to, and he wasn’t responding to my calls either.

I found myself staring at the falling snow outside the window, and before I knew it, I dozed off, swamped with anxiety and confusion.

I wasn’t sure how long I had been asleep. Suddenly, my phone buzzed. I looked at it groggily, then snapped wide awake. It was a call from Russel

“Can we meet?” Russel was the first to speak. His voice was raspy and sounded incredibly weary.

“Russel, about your moms passing, I’m sorry for your loss.” I was a bit wary of Russel, so I trod lightly, being extra polite. Even though I wanted to grill him with questions, I held back

Russel was silent for a few seconds before resuming, “I want to meet you to clear things up.”

I didn’t want to meet him. There was no need to stir up more drama, “We can talk over the phone.”

“You know, I want to see you,” Russel’s voice turned firm, “Don’t you want to know why Neil and Bonnie were in that room?”

That was exactly what I wanted to know. Neil said it was all Russel’s doing, but what was the truth?

Of course, Russel wasnt exactly reliable now, and he could have been lying.

I didn’t respond immediately, I took a moment to think.

Russel spoke again, ‘You know why I proposed to Chloe. Now my mom is gone; I’m calling off the engagement”

“What?” I was taken aback, and I hadn’t expected Russel to take such a drastic step. His mom had just passed away, and he had already. planned on breaking his engagement.

“This isn’t the life I want. I just wanted my mom to be at peace before she passed. Now that she’s gone, I don’t have anything to hold me back.” Russel seemed to have made up his mind.
