Chapter 416

“Right, we’re not even friends, Dr. Karina, Let’s make that clear. I chimed in, casting a shadow over Neil’s already gloomy mood.

Karina pretended to be disappointed, “You were once married, after all. There’s no need to be so indifferent. Perhaps, you could just be regular friends moving

forward.”

It was a pretense of reconciliation but, in reality, a display of triumph.

Wasn’t the frosty distance between Neil and me the perfect tonic to her insecurities?

“Whatever kind of friendship it is, I’m not interested. I haven’t had breakfast yet. I’m heading home.” I didn’t play along with Karina’s performance.

If there was any chance of Neil and me being ‘regular friends; why would I have moved to Eldoria?

Norah was making them exercise. Seeing me, she took the groceries from me, “Ms. Finch, I’ll start breakfast.”

Norah went to the kitchen, and I stayed with the kids.

During that time, my mom/sent a video call. Other than checking in on the kids, she wanted to talk about Lucas’ affairs. To my surprise, Lucas had drawn up a will. After the immediate family, my mom was next in line.
