Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 312

“Why are you not saying anything, don’t you like it?” Neil asked, noticing my silence.

I picked up a few petals from the water, examining them closely. They were beautiful, vibrant and full, with a velvety texture.

“I do like it, it’s very beautiful,” I answered sincerely

“Let me see” Neil hung up and immediately video-called me.

I stared at the screen, unsure whether to answer, but my fingers instinctively hit the accept button.

The screen showed what seemed to be the study in Sterling Estates. Nell was wearing glasses, which he rarely does, and it always took my breath away.

“What are you doing? Are you taking a bath? Neil asked, noticing my surroundings.

“Yes,” I nodded and chuckled, “I’m bathing with the roses you sent.”

Neil seemed to be taken aback, not fully understanding. So, I pointed the camera at the bathtub, full of rose petals spreading a delicate fragrance.

He fell silent, seemingly at a loss for words. This was the first time he had ever given me flowers. Even the bouquet at our wedding was chosen by his mother.

“I thought it wasn’t from you because you didn’t leave a note, so I used them for my bath, I explained awkwardly.

I paused for a few seconds, “I really didn’t.”
