Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 301

I felt like I was on a roller coaster right now, totally on edge.

Ryan Whitmore noticed my blank stare and with a smile, he said, “We got a call from Neil last night too, so we came over this morning. We didn’t freak you out, did we?”

“Yeah, Neil mentioned you’re spending Christmas here and suggested we join in for some festive cheer” Faith took a couple of steps forward and waved me over, “Come on down. Lunch is almost ready”

I quickly composed myself and managed an awkward but polite smile as I said, “Good to see you guys here.”

“Indeed, it’s been quite a few years since we had a family Christmas,” Faith nodded.

I wasn’t sure how to respond.

Family?

Did she mean to include me? Had Neil not spent Christmas with his parents in the past few years?

As I descended the stairs, Faith tried to hold my hand but stopped, probably worried I might not like it.

‘I’m spending Christmas here because I’ve got some stuff going on, I explained awkwardly.

“That’s okay. No matter what’s happened, you’ll always be my daughter, Faith said gently, smiling.

This made me feel uneasy Ryan and Faith had always been kind to me. In my past life, it was I who kept my distance from them, and they ended up favoring Neil and Bonnie. In this life, they hid the truth about Karina.

All things considered, they’ve never done anything unforgivable. Their intentions were even good.
