Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 448

Russel looked at me with a certain sadness in his eyes.

“You think I haven’t thought of all these things?” he sighed deeply, his smile puzzling.

He was a man of careful thought; how could he not have considered all these? He probably thought more than I did.

“So if you’ve thought of it all, you should know when to cut your losses, Russel. You’d make a great husband and father, but your happiness isn’t with me.” My voice choked up, barely audible by the end.

“I can’t do it. I fear more than anything your absence. How should I cope?” Russel’s eyes were full of melancholy, exacerbating my guilt.

Once upon a time, Russel was aloof and indifferent to everyone, seemingly impervious to all but when he had turned for Bonnie in my past life. Every other time, he remained in control. Now, it seemed like I had made him this way.

It was not my intention; the situation had simply spiraled beyond my expectations.

Let’s get married.” Suddenly, Russel spoke again. His lips were pale but delicate and moist. His voice was clear and magnetic.

He then pulled out the diamond ring from his pocket, staring at me steadfastly, “Irene, will you marry me? Even if I pay a price in the future, I’m willing.” “Stop being foolish, will you?” I wiped the lingering tears from my eyes, sighing softly, “Have you forgotten your mother’s opposition? Even though she’s no longer here, but…”

Speaking of his mother, Lauretta Dawson, Russel’s expression changed. Lauretta had once strongly opposed our relationship, hoping on her deathbed that he would end up with Chloe Reynolds. Unfortunately, Chloe too was no longer here. Everything had changed.
