Chapter 498

“Let’s not talk about this now, shall we? Let’s not mix personal matters with business,” I sighed, Neil’s words leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

“And when do you suggest we’talk about it, then?” Neil’s tone chilled as he mentioned Russel. “I’m just worried your judgement is clouded, and you’ll agree to Russel’s unreasonable demands. I know him too well, understand?”

I wasn’t losing my mind, just feeling irritable.

Neil’s phone buzzed, a work-related call. After a brief conversation, he hung up and informed me, “I’ve got to head back to the office. I’ll probably be staying in Rosemont for a while, sorting things out before heading to Eldoria. My mom’s heading there earlier though, you can go with her if you want. She can help look after your kids.”

“Okay, you go ahead and get your work done,” I replied.

Neil nodded, got into his car, and drove off, leaving me standing alone. Only when his car disappeared from my view did I turn to make my way upstairs.

Hannah was already up, fussing over some plants on the balcony, while Bailey was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, a simple yet homey vibe.

“Where have you been this early, Ms. Finch? Hannah greeted me. From her spot on the balcony, she must’ve seen me talking with Neil.

I gave a sheepish smile, “Just went out for a bit.”

She didn’t probe further, only reminding me that breakfast would be ready soon. I nodded and went to check on my kids, Serena and Brandon. They were awake, but quiet, playing on their own.

Seeing them always stirred up feelings of regret deep inside me. I grew up with both parents in a happy family, showered with their love. I wanted the same for my children: a full and complete family.
