Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 234

The kitchen walls and ceiling were all messed up, and a few pots were burned.

"No worries, I can sort it out myself," I shook my head.

"You want to take on more stuff yourself? I've got people who can help, but you're saying no?" Neil frowned.

I'm really swamped right now; I've never been this busy before. All the home stuff has landed on my shoulders, with my parents who used to back me up, one in a coma, the other in hot water.

I hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed, "Alright, I'll be back after work, probably around six."

I've been running around all morning for my dad's affairs, dealing with a bunch of relationship stuff. It was a real mess.

Neil finally relaxed a bit, "Alright, I'll tidy up the kitchen and leave you alone as promised."

I was taken aback. I didn't have time for all this right now.

But I casually pointed out, "Neil, this issue with my dad, it's probably Bonnie and Gloria messing around behind the scenes and setting him up. And the reason Bonnie's doing all this is probably because of you."

Neil's relaxed expression tightened again, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Hmm, I know. That's why if there's anything you need help with, I won't turn you down."

I was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don't need you to help me with anything else, just one thing. Can you help me find Russel? I haven't been able to reach him since last night. I sent Mitch to the Dawson family, but he was turned away." I looked at Neil earnestly, "Can you?"

If Neil wanted to find Russel, he definitely had a way.

But as soon as he heard Russel's name, Neil's expression changed. He seemed annoyed.

I got the message, "It's okay. If you don't want to help, you don't have to."

Neil coldly asked, "You want him to help? He didn't contact you when your dad was in trouble?"

I sighed, "I guess his parents stopped him. He said he found some clues that would help my dad and told me to wait for him, but he never showed."

"Oh, so it was him you were waiting for in the rain last night." Neil tried to control his jealousy, but I could feel it.

I replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "Yes, isn't that normal?"

Neil gave a cold laugh and waved his hand dismissively, "Sure, it's normal. But it's not normal to ask your ex-husband to help find your current boyfriend."

I was helpless. This guy said I could ask for his help, but when I really asked, he refused.

It was okay if he didn't want to help. I wasn't disappointed. I never really expected him to help me in the first place. Given how my dad treated him in the past, I was sure he held a grudge.

As for Russel, I wanted Neil's help, but he wasn't interested. But he was all in when I asked him to help find someone to clean the kitchen. When I got home in the evening, he had already brought a cleaning lady over.

I gave him a look, got the message, and didn't say anything; I just went right in.

I thought only the cleaning lady would come in to clean the kitchen, and I didn't expect Neil to come in too. As the CEO of Whitmore Co., he has a ton of work to handle every day, but now he's here at my place watching the cleaning lady clean the kitchen.

"You go do your thing. I'll check it out when she's done," I poured a glass of water, sipped it, and told Neil.

Neil ignored me, just watched the cleaning lady busy in the kitchen, very focused.

If he didn't listen to me, so be it.
