Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 411

Neil clamped his lips shut, casting an unreadable gaze my way.

“Because she’s the mother of my child, I won’t let her suffer harm she doesn’t deserve After a moment, he finally responded to my question, but his answer took me by surprise.

Sc, he wasn’t protecting Karina out of love, but because she was the mother of Hiram. And so, for his son’s sake, he defended her?

“Don’t you love her?” I couldn’t help but ask.

Neil fell silent again, his expression growing somewhat restless.

A strange thought occurred to me, and I asked again, “Neil, do you still have feelings for me? That project with Mitch, why did it happen to be in Eldoria?”

As soon as I asked, I regretted it. It seemed as though I was testing him, implying that I still cared for him, but indirectly asking if he still had feelings for me.

Neil looked somewhat taken aback. He was about to answer when my phone rang. It was my mom, “Rena, have you and Russel returned yet? Serena and Brandon seem to miss their parents today. We can’t calm them down!”

“What about Norah?” I felt a pang of anxiety.

“She wasn’t feeling well tonight, so I sent her to the hospital. It’s just me and your dad at home now,” my mom replied.

‘Russel is tied up with a surgery, so he can’t make it back. I’ll come home to soothe the kids!” Thinking of my children crying at home made my heart ached. I hung up the phone and hurriedly hailed a cab.

But I couldn’t get a cab, and the ride-sharing app showed a queue. It seemed like fate was deliberately delaying me.
