Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 424

After Ariana was led away, the living room was left with Neil and me, together with Stella and Mitch.

The atmosphere was stiff as a board. I was the first to break the silence, turning to Mitch, “Mitch, did you see Ariana drinking from Stella’s cup just now?”

Mitch seemed lost for words.

Stella quickly interjected. “Of course he saw, but did nothing to stop it. In his eyes, it’s a minor matter. Soon, our kids and I will be just as insignificant to him. So, before that happens, let’s divorce. I want custody of all three kids. I don’t care about anything else!”

As she spoke, her emotions escalated, teetering on the brink of tears.

Stella never cared about money; she could well afford to raise thirty kids, let alone three. What hurt her was Mitch’s growing indifference towards her, the dwindling of his undivided

attention.

Twon’t agree!” Mitch blurted out.

“To what exactly? Not agreeing to divorce Stella, or not agreeing to give the kids to Stella?” I asked bluntly.

Mitch hesitated, and this reaction sent a chill down my spine.

If he disagreed with the divorce, he would have answered immediately. But his hesitation suggested that he was torn between the two options.

Stella’s face fell, her eyes suddenly filling with sorrow. She spun around and headed for the bedroom.
