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.

Once I found my car, I loaded up the groceries I’d bought and drove home.

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

When I got home, Serena and Brandon were already awake.

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.
