Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 153

My mood would have probably stayed in a happy bubble for a while if it wasn't for Kate's call.

"What will it take for you to stop hurting Bonnie?" Kate's question almost made me burst out laughing.

"Why don't you just get her out of my sight?" There I was, lounging in the yard, soaking up the sun on a rocking chair, munching on fruit.

Kate snorted, "Shouldn't you be the one to vanish?"

Just then, I heard the rumble of a car outside the gate. I got up to take a peek and sure enough, Neil's car was parked in front of my house again.

Wasn't he supposed to be at the hospital taking care of Bonnie? Why was he here again?

Neil got out of the car and seemed a bit taken aback as he saw me staring. He then walked towards me.

"Shhh." I made a shushing gesture.

Neil frowned slightly, but although he was puzzled, he did not speak. I continued on with Kate, "Why should I disappear? Even though Neil and I are divorced, I was once his wife, doesn't that make Bonnie the homewrecker?"

At my words, Neil's expression shifted.

He asked me not to call Bonnie the homewrecker, and now that I was saying it to his face. He must be pissed. Kate couldn't hold back either. She always saw Bonnie as a replacement for Karina and couldn't stand anyone tarnishing her sister’s image.

"Irene! You're the homewrecker! You should be the one disappearing! If it wasn't for you marrying Neil, would Karina have committed suicide?" Kate accused me heatedly, "Now you're targeting Bonnie, making her life difficult. If something happens to her, may you rot in hell! Redeem yourself for their sake!"

"Kate, I'll say it one last time, when I got married to Neil, I had no idea about your sister!" I responded coldly.

Kate retorted, "So what? Even if you didn't know about my sister, couldn't you feel that Neil didn't love you? I heard he refused to marry you at first, and only reluctantly agreed due to his grandfather's illness. If you had any dignity, you would have turned down the marriage. His grandfather wouldn't have blamed him, you wouldn't have gotten married, and my sister wouldn't have committed suicide!"

She seemed to know a lot about it.

Neil's face darkened. Before I could respond, he reached out and took my phone away.

"Karina's situation has nothing to do with Irene. You can blame me for not being firm enough, or blame your sister for being too sensitive, but stop harassing Irene. Do you understand?" Neil warned sternly.

I was taken aback. This was Karina's only sister, the only other one from the Aaron family.

As expected, Kate was furious, "Neil, do you realize what you're saying? Why are you at Irene's? Bonnie is still at the hospital, why don’t you be by her side!”

Neil seemed done with the conversation. He ended the call and blocked Kate's number right in front of me.

I watched his actions, suddenly unsure why he was here today.

Originally, I thought he was here to confront me as I had told Bonnie about Karina, which ended up scaring Bonnie unconscious.

But judging from his attitude towards Kate just now, he didn't seem to come to accuse me.

I deliberately let him hear Kate's words, curious to see how he would defend those two women.

"What brings you here?" I took my phone back and looked at Neil, standing behind the gate.

"Mitch told me something, so I came to confirm it with you." Neil looked down at me, his voice calm.

As if the stern man warning Kate just now wasn't him.
