Chapter 327

My car was parked nearby, so there was no need to hitch a ride. The moment I saw Neil’s car pull up, I headed straight for mine.

Neil got out of his car and didn’t even glance my way; his eyes were glued to Bonnie.

His smitten look made my mood sour even more.

Ignoring them, I hopped into my car and zoomed off as fast as I could.

But in my rear-view mirror, I still saw Bonnie, who looked extremely happy, and it irked the hell out of me.

Could it be that I hadn’t completely forgotten about Neil? Even though I knew he was just putting on a show.

Thinking of this possibility, a phrase popped into my head, “human weakness.”

Back at Sapphire River Community, I checked my phone, no messages or calls. Neil must have seen me but didn’t reach out or explain.

Did he need to explain? It was clearly part of our plan.

But he used to explain to me. I sat alone in the living room for a long time with these mixed feelings.

“Rena, why are you still up? Just got back?” My mom asked with concern as she sat down next to me.

“Yeah, I had a function tonight. Just got back. Mom, why are you still up?” I countered.
