Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 446

Listening to Neil’s response, I was left speechless.

This was my home, but I seemed to have lost all authority in an instant.

Neil strolled into the living room, while Russel was busy in the kitchen with groceries.

Norah was trying to soothe Serena and Brandon. Seeing what was happening, she looked just as bewildered.

“Let’s go to our room,” I suggested to Norah. We each picked up a child and retreated to our bedroom. Staring at Neil would just be too awkward.

At this point, I couldn’t muster a pleasant expression for him. After he insisted that it was Hiram who had messaged Mitch, I had nothing left to say to him.

However, Serena started crying as soon as we entered the room. She was usually a very obedient child, but every time Neil appeared, she would make a fuss.

Sometimes I couldn’t help but believe in the power of blood relations.

“I’ll take her for a walk in the garden,” I proposed to Norah, picking up Serena.

Norah nodded and stayed in the room to look after Brandon.

In the living room, Neil sat comfortably on the couch, his long legs elegantly crossed. One hand held his phone, the other a cup of coffee. He sipped occasionally, looking completely at ease, showing no signs of discomfort.

I rolled my eyes silently.
