Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 27

"You guys carry on, I'm outta here." Neil said, barely suppressing his rage, to Russel. He quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me away.

Russel just stared at me, emotionless, as if he could see right through me.

Neil was pulling me along so fast, I could barely keep up. I was about to fall.

"Neil, what's gotten into you? Can't you let me go to the restroom to change my skirt first?" I snapped at him.

He finally remembered why I asked Russel to buy me these things and, with a stern face, took me to the restroom, "Go change!"

I rubbed my wrist. He was so rough, almost bruised my wrist.

Bonnie is only a few pounds heavier than me, could she handle him?

I couldn't help but imagine Neil and Bonnie in bed, Neil being dominant at first, but Bonnie gradually falling for him, their sex life becoming more tender.

I was about to lose my mind. Why would I think of such filthy images? I quickly changed and threw those images out of my mind, then left the restroom.

Neil gave me a look, "We're going home."

He seemed less angry.

I sent a message in my group chat with my girlfriends, then followed Neil home. I wanted to see what he had to say next.

But he didn't utter a word the whole ride home, like a statue that could drive.

Once we got home, Neil went straight to his study. I went to take a shower and get some rest.

After drying my hair, Neil came in. There was something in his eyes that made me uneasy.

"Irene, let's talk." Neil said calmly.

I nodded.

Ten minutes later, I understood what Neil was saying.

He added another rule. I couldn't have any relations with his good friends, adding to the previous rules of not making our relationship public on social media and not telling our parents. Three rules in total.

"Neil, why don't you just divorce me?" I asked, somewhat disappointed.

"We have no reason to divorce." Neil replied calmly, then left.

I had a hunch that his talk tonight might have something to do with Bonnie.

Maybe he wanted to make a deal with me so I wouldn't interfere with him pursuing Bonnie. He probably didn't realize he would get caught in the whirlpool of love.

From that day on, Neil seemed to have disappeared, not returning to Sterling Estates for more than half a month.

I went back to my old life, except now I had a few more servants.

"You're not kids anymore, handle your issues like adults, arguing and giving each other the silent treatment won't solve anything." In the afternoon, I heard Ada on the phone, hiding under the staircase, her voice low.

I stood on the stairs, listening carefully to her words.

"Oscar is a good boy, he treats you well. Your father and I are at ease with you two together. No matter what happens, communicate with each other, got it?" Ada had high praise for Oscar.

Did Bonnie and Oscar have a fight? I calculated the time in my head, Neil must have been trying really hard this past half month, otherwise, how could a loving couple have a fight so soon?

I didn't want to deal with these things anymore. When Neil proposes a divorce, I will sign without hesitation.
