Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 331

“Why are you getting all worked up?” Russel asked me quietly once I stopped ranting. “Is it because it reminds you of your thing with

Neil?”

He was intentionally asking me something he already knew. He knew all about me and Neil.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down and separate Russel in front of me from Neil in my memory. “Maybe I’m relating a bit too much to my own story, but Chloe has been really good to you. She hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Russel just smirked and said, “The person who convinced me to break free was her. If it wasn’t for her help, my parents wouldn’t have thought about doing it. They were afraid I would hate them.”

He had been under house arrest for a while, and Chloe had approached me, asking me to break up with him in exchange for some documents.

I couldn’t believe this was Chloe’s idea.

My impression of Chloe got a bit more complicated. Even though her feelings for Russel were similar to my feelings for Neil, I had never resorted to such measures.

I would never intentionally set up a trap for Neil.

“I don’t want to talk about your issues.” Finally, I ran out of things to say and simply responded.

Russel ordered all my favorite dishes. He had been very thoughtful during our relationship.

But I didn’t have much of an appetite right now, so I only took a few bites and didn’t continue eating.

Russel was the same. He didn’t meet up with me today just to have a meal.
