Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 472

Chapter 472

Neil and Karina should be by Hiram’s side at this important moment. Where else could they possibly be?

I felt a twinge of confusion, but I didn’t dwell on it. Mitch brought me a plate of cupcakes. “Have something to eat.”

“Thank you, I replied, taking one of the cupcakes and nibbling on it absentmindedly. After a few bites, I left it aside and went upstairs to check on the kids.

Serena usually napped a lot, sometimes for an hour or two. But today was a bit noisy. I feared she might wake up when I didn’t know.

Treading lightly, I made my way to the second floor. Serena’s guest room was at the very end of the hallway, and I had to pass by one room to get there. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but then I heard Neil’s voice, sounding extremely indifferent, coming from that room. “You should know it’s not possible, Karina. I don’t want to complicate things between us.”

I paused and realized that the door was slightly ajar, allowing their conversation to drift out into the hallway.

Eavesdropping was impolite; but at that moment, I couldn’t help but listen in.

“Why? Don’t you want to give Hiram a complete family?” Karina’s voice wasn’t as composed as usual. It’trembled slightly.

“Isn’t this a complete family now? Just because we’re not married doesn’t mean I’m not his father. All that matters is that he feels loved.” Neil’s words were firm and left little room for argument.

I was stunned. I thought him considering Karina as Hiram’s mother was just an excuse, but it turned out he really didn’t have feelings for her anymore.
