Chapter 425

Upon arriving home, Neil helped me extract the stroller from the trunk and set it up. I nestled Serena and Brandon into the stroller, and was about to call for Norah to open the door when it

swung open.

Russel stood in the entrance, a strange expression crossing his face as he saw Neil and me together. The tension between the two men was palpable.

“Thanks for bringing us home, Neil. You better go talk to Mitch,” I said, urging Neil away. “He owes Stella an explanation.”

“I could use a glass of water,” Neil suddenly mentioned.

It would’ve been rude not to invite him in after he’d given us a ride, and refusing him a drink was out of the question.

I handed the stroller to Russel and said, “I’ll get him some water.”

Russel intercepted my hand, “You take the baby inside. I’ll get him some water.”

away.

Russel’s back was to me, obscuring his expression, but Neil’s face was clear as day. His sharp gaze met mine, causing me to look away.

I walked into the living room and poured Stella a cup of water.

Russel returned shortly after, silently pouring a glass of water and leaving again.
