Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 440

Neil looked at me with a complex expression, as if he was taken aback by my words.

“Ms. Finch, how about showing a little decorum? What do you take me for?” Ariana retorted with a flare of anger, “I was just thinking, since I’m already here to pick up Mr. Mitch, I might as well take him home. It saves you guys the trouble. Is there something wrong with that?”

Her thin veneer of an excuse didn’t fool me, “I don’t mind the trouble, okay? In the future, please steer clear of married men. If you’re looking for a man, try a matchmaking

service.”

Ariana fell silent for a while, probably fuming.

I didn’t care and asked, “Where are you? At which bar? I’ll be right there.”

After some prodding, Ariana finally gave me an address. I looked at Neil, “You go pick him up. I need to stay home and take care of the kids.”

“We have a nanny, don’t we?” Neil seemed to want me to come with him.

“She can’t handle it all by herself. You go get Mitch. And make sure Ariana doesn’t follow!” I was a bit commanding, my mood was quite volatile, as if I had been betrayed

too.

Neil wouldn’t let it go, “Come with me. We can take advantage of Mitch’s drunken state to get the truth out of him. Who told him Yara was with you? If he’s sober, you’ll accuse me of colluding with him. Now that he’s drunk, he’ll spill the truth.”

Sometimes I had to admire Neil’s tenacity. Even in this situation, he still remembered his mission to prove his innocence through Mitch.

But I didn’t completely trust Neil. If he went alone, would he really be able to bring Mitch back? Would Ariana seize the opportunity to follow?
