Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 284

I averted my gaze, feeling like I was getting a bit too lecherous.

Just then, Neil's phone rang. He had left his phone on my vanity last night, so it was within my line of sight.

I glanced at the caller ID, and it was "Annoying Fool."

It was Kitty calling, and I couldn't pick up the phone. I decided to pretend I didn't hear it.

Kitty hung up and immediately sent a text message, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Are you still sleeping in?"

The notification popped up on the phone screen, and I saw it again.

I had a sense of guilt. I reached out to turn the phone over.

At that moment, Kitty sent another message, "Thanks for last night; otherwise, my dad would have scolded me badly. He's been trying to control me lately."

So, it was because of Kitty that Neil had gone out the previous night. He often seemed annoyed by Kitty, but in action, he never ignored her.

I flipped the phone over and placed it on the table, deciding not to dwell on that issue.

Neil hadn't gotten up by the time I left. I didn't wake him up and instead had Bailey come over to drive me to Barbara's place.

When I arrived, Stella and the others were already there. Mitch Hebert and Cooper Clarke were also present.

As soon as they saw me, Mitch lowered his head and meekly stayed behind Stella. I hadn't confronted him about the recent incident where he had reported me a couple of days ago.

"Rena, come, have some dessert," Barbara walked over, linking her arm with mine, her face beaming with happiness.

Silas was chatting with Cooper, Sean, and others. He greeted me in a friendly manner when he saw me. I nodded at him and joined Stella, Barbara, and Alicia Rider for a chat.

I filled them in on my decision to move back to Sterling Estates. They looked surprised and were momentarily speechless.

After a while, Stella asked, "Are you really planning to remarry Neil? I heard you moved back to Sterling Estates."

"Yes. What's wrong?" I nodded. I hadn't expected Neil to share that with Cooper and the others.

"Irene, Neil is really remorseful. He genuinely wants to win you back. So if he occasionally messes up, could you forgive him?" Cooper looked apologetic. "Last night, I was out drinking with Kitty, and something happened, so Kitty called him. Do you know about this?"

So, that's what happened. I was well aware.
