Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 118

The young girl was a bit reluctant, "Mom, he's already divorced. Can't I like him?"

"Who knows if that's true? Have you heard him make it public? Don't be so gullible if he hasn't said it himself!"

"Hmph, he'll say it sooner or later."

After a while, the footsteps of the mother and daughter gradually faded away, and I stepped out of the cubicle.

The girl's name was Cathie, Kevin Evan's daughter, Cathie Evan.

I met her before the banquet started, introduced by Kevin. She kept glancing at Neil but was polite enough to me, always smiling when she spoke.

I washed my hands at the sink, then calmly returned to the banquet hall to continue eating.

After dinner, the guests gradually left. I looked around and didn't see Kevin, so I planned to find him, say goodbye and then head home.

"Irene!"

Cathie suddenly appeared. She looked about 25, dressed maturely and elegantly, but upon closer inspection, she was clearly very young.

"Cathie." I replied with a smile.

"Huh, where's Mr. Whitmore? Why didn't he come with you?" Cathie asked as she handed me a gift box, quite heavy.

"This is my gift for you, Irene."

"Thank you." I accepted the gift box and pretended to look around, "I don’t know where Neil is. If you see him, can you tell Mr. Evan I had to leave early?"

"Sure." Cathie nodded.

I took the gift box and left the Prosperity Hotel, hailing a cab on the roadside.

A black Bentley parked in front of me, a Rosemont license plate.

The window was half-open, and Neil's gaze came from inside, "I can give you a lift."

"Sure." I replied immediately and hopped into the passenger seat.

Technically, I should keep my distance from Neil, but the thought of being pregnant with his child, and having to raise the child alone in the future made me think, why not enjoy the present while I can?

What's the big deal about a car ride? I figured I was already being pretty modest, considering I wasn't sitting on his head bossing him around.

I didn’t know what's going on with Neil, but he's been a little nicer to me since the divorce, which was weird. But after this trip abroad, I probably won't be back for a couple of years. I plan to settle down, work, and have my baby.

I hope Bonnie got pregnant soon too. That way, even if the Whitmore family found out about my baby, they won't forcibly take it away.

On the road, I asked Neil, "Why haven't you told anyone about our divorce? Haven't you told Bonnie either?"

"I told her." Neil answered, looking sideways, "I didn't tell anyone else except a few close friends."

I fell silent. Just because he didn't say it doesn't mean word wouldn't get out. How else would Cathie know?

"That Cathie girl likes you." I stated directly, "You and Bonnie are in a long-distance relationship, aren't you afraid you won't be able to handle the loneliness?"

Neil's face darkened a bit, "You just worry about yourself."

"I don't have that many worries." I muttered.

Neil chuckled coldly, obviously disagreeing with my view.

When we reached the hotel entrance, I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of the car. Just as I was about to enter, Linda called out to me, "Irene!"

I turned around, and she was holding some fruits, obviously just bought.

"What did you buy?" I asked.
