Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 451

Stella wiped away her tears, forcing a smile “Yeah, I used to be a flirt master, but why have I become so weak now? Love really can be a killer.”

I chuckled lightly, a sour feeling creeping into my heart. I, too, had lost ten years of my youth to the so-called love.

“Alright, Rena, you should go home. Your two kids need you. I need to take a walk to clear my head.” Stella’s mood was obviously down in the dumps.

I wanted to accompany her, but sometimes, when someone was feeling particularly low, solitude could be a comfort.

I hesitated, ultimately watching as Stella pushed her baby stroller away.

Her figure, under the sunlight, wasn’t cheerful at all. It was like she was being shrouded by a shadow, making me feel a pang of heartache.

Neil and Mitch hadn’t come out yet. They were probably still chatting.

As I prepared to drive home, I noticed a small figure darting around a corner not too far away. It looked like Hiram!

Unsure, I decided to wait in my car. After about ten seconds, sure enough, Hiram appeared again, sneaking glances at his wristwatch and looking around cautiously. Karina was nowhere in sight.

Could it be that Neil brought him? But would Neil just leave him alone outside? I didn’t think so.

Sometimes, I didn’t particularly like Hiram. He was not just naughty, but he seemed to have been led astray by Karina, which made me feel uncomfortable.

However, I couldn’t just ignore him.
