Chapter 444

I found myself at a loss for words.

There was a time I was hopelessly in love with Neil, so much so that nobody could talk me out of it. Even when Neil explicitly told me he didn’t fancy me, I held onto the belief that time would reveal true feelings.

Could it be that Russel’s feelings for me were just like mine for Neil all those years ago?

That would be disastrous. How could I face it?

After all, I’m not Neil. I couldn’t be that heartless.

“Hmm?” Russel prompted, noticing my silence. “Why aren’t you answering?”

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to answer, I just couldn’t.

Serena and Brandon seemed to sense my discomfort, crying in unison. Seizing the opportunity to escape, I went to check on them. As suspected, they needed a diaper change.

After swiftly changing their diapers, my phone, which was sitting on the table, started ringing.

Russel glanced at the caller ID before handing it to me. “It’s your friend.”

I took the phone, expecting to see Stella or one of the others. To my surprise, it was Kitty.

I hadn’t heard from Kitty in a long time. I didn’t expect her to reach out. She had disappeared for a while due to her father’s sudden illness. I wasn’t aware of what had happened since.
