Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 393

Chapter 393

“Russel, you and Ms. Finch seem to be getting along pretty well!” Karina initiated a conversation with us.

Russel didn’t deny it, but instead countered, “You and Neil are on good terms too, aren’t you?”

“It’s okay. After all, we’ve been apart for so long, there are many things that need to be rekindled. But it’s okay,” Karina smoothed over her still damp hair. Her voice was soft and soothing. “We had a foundation. We didn’t split up voluntarily. So, we’ll cherish this hard-won reconciliation. Besides, the kid is important. We have to

think about him too.”

With that, Karina patted Hiram on the head, “Hiram, go practice your handwriting. Mommy will stay here and enjoy the breeze.”

Hiram obediently turned and went back to the room.

I didn’t want to stick around listening to Russel and Karina’s chat. So, I excused myself, “You guys carry on. I’m going for a shower.”

“All right.” Russel replied gently, “I’ll come and blow-dry your hair later.”

I didn’t think it was necessary, but I nodded anyway. Russel’s eyes instantly brightened.

After a quick shower, I changed and went back to the balcony only to find that Russel was gone. He was not on the balcony, nor in the room.

I was a bit puzzled but also a little relieved. That way, I could have dried my hair myself and avoided the awkwardness if Russel really actually helped.

But even after I finished drying my hair, Russel still hadn’t returned.

I initially wanted to go to bed, but I wasn’t sleepy. So, I decided to look for Russel.
