Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 165

Neil's appearance was a mere trifle.

Soon, everyone started talking about other things, and I heard something about Zora.

Cooper's family was pushing him to get married, telling him to try and woo Zora, who also attended last night's dance. Apparently, Neil had gone with him.

"She's way too popular, I don't want to compete with other men." Cooper said.

"Haha, you don't have to compete, according to reliable sources, Zora falls for Neil. Some foreign websites even reported last year that she had a crush on Neil." Stella replied.

"I know, I can't beat Neil. Plus, ever since Zora became Abner's adopted daughter two years ago, she's famous, but she's never shown her face. What if she's ugly?" Cooper shrugged, "I heard she's here with a $200 million investment, but even if she brought $20 billion, I wouldn't go after her."

He was obviously a man who cared about the appearance. I listened for a while and then stepped out for some fresh air. Soon, Cooper followed me out.

His face was red and he said a bit awkwardly, "Irene, I misunderstood you two years ago, I apologize."

"What?" I was surprised, "It's all good, Cooper."

Mainly because Cooper's misunderstanding didn't cause me much trouble.

He didn't purposely make things difficult for me. Besides his words that upset me back then, everything else was really no big deal.

Cooper let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks, I should've apologized to you earlier, but I was too embarrassed. Today seemed like a good opportunity."

"Hahaha, yeah, it's a good day indeed." I started laughing.

At noon, a feast of seafood was served. As I filled my belly and listened to everyone's laughter, I felt blissfully happy.

Then, a huge cake was brought out and Mitch blew out the candles with his wife and kids by his side.

His face was full of smiles, he had truly become a good man.

I envied their married life, which was once my own dream.

By the time I left Stella's house, it was already evening. She asked me to stay for dinner but I wanted to visit Oscar at the hospital.

I rushed to the hospital in Stella's car. Oscar looked a bit better today, young people recover quickly.

"Irene, when did you get back? How come I didn't know?" Oscar asked me a bit disappointed, "Didn't you get the messages I sent you? You never replied."

"I got back the night I ran into you at the bar," I sighed, "I got all your messages but I didn't know how to reply, so I didn't."

"I get it, you probably think I still have strong feelings for you and you didn't want to respond, right?" Oscar seemed a bit helpless, "I do like you, I still like you a lot, but I know we can't be together. Can I try to see you as my sister?"

I widened my eyes, then nodded, "Okay, from now on you're my little brother. Don't worry, I'll treat you to good food, drink, and life's pleasures!"

Oscar started laughing.

I didn't leave the hospital until 9 p.m., my mood very heavy.

Because Oscar had just told me some things about Bonnie.
