Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 109

"Ah, I've got a call to take. Enjoy the news!" Stella hurriedly said, ending the video chat.

Enjoy what? Unless she's about to tell me that Neil has suddenly changed his mind, decided to completely ditch Bonnie, or Bonnie has decided to be with Russel.

Feeling bored, fiddling with my phone for a while, I was on the verge of dozing off when my phone rang, causing my heart to race.

The name "Neil" flashing on the incoming call screen gave me a headache.

"Hello?" I answered, sounding groggy and tired.

"Why the sudden trip abroad?" Neil's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Who did Stella accidentally spill the beans to? How did he find out so quickly?

I paused for a moment, "I wanted to go abroad, so I did. Is there a problem?"

"You should have at least told me! Don't forget, we're not divorced yet!" Neil's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"The reason I'm going abroad is because you're unwilling to divorce. What are you doing bringing this up? Shouldn't you be taking care of Bonnie? She has hurt her hand and needs care." I retorted, with a hint of sarcasm.

Neil went silent for a moment. Finally, his voice regained its calm, "If you're doing this to divorce me, fine. Draft a divorce agreement and send it over. I'll sign it."

I was slightly surprised, "Really?"

"Yes." Neil hung up the call.

I was still a bit dazed. Neil had promised me once before, but he had been dragging his feet for so long. Was he tricking me again this time?

But, it was worth a shot.

The next day at work, I printed out the divorce agreement I had kept, signed it, and sent it back home as fast as I could.

After that, I was left waiting anxiously.

Neil didn't contact me again, and I held back from asking him whether he received it.

I still chose to leave with nothing. As long as I could be free, I didn't need a single penny.

About half a month later, I received a package from home. Inside the envelope was a single divorce certificate.

I gently picked it up and looked at it. The two-inch color photo on it must've been taken right after I graduated. I didn't know where Neil found it, nor how he managed to go through the divorce proceedings alone.

All in all, I got what I wanted. That was enough.

I informed Stella and her two friends, as well as my parents, about this.

But I didn't want them to tell anyone else.

As for Neil, he could make it public if he wanted, or keep it low-key like me.

But no matter how low-key, he would definitely tell Russel and their gang, as well as his parents and Bonnie.

That's his business. He's completely irrelevant to me now.

"Rena, to celebrate your newfound freedom, we're planning to come over and give you a chance to treat us to a feast!" Stella called me happily.

"You're coming over?" I was very surprised.
