Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 310

I smirked sarcastically, "Well then, keep your distance, stop showing off in front of me, at least wait till Neil marries you. Before that, you should worry more about his parents' objections."

Bonnie bit her lip, speechless with anger. She just loved to provoke me.

Instead of picking up the fruit basket, she stomped back to her car, full of indignation, and drove off.

Watching her car leave, I felt a pang of unease. Maybe I should have brought my mom home earlier, to ensure she could rest in peace.

What if someone in the hospital spilled the beans to her?

Considering this, I halted my steps to the office, returned to the hospital, arranged for my mom's discharge, and called Bailey to pick her up.

Once my mom was settled in at home, I heaved a sigh of relief.

"Rena, have you been handling the company business all by yourself these days?" my mom suddenly asked.

"Um, yes," I replied.

"Where's your dad? Didn't he help you?" Despite being asleep for so long, my mom was still quick-witted. "Didn't you ask your uncle for help?"

I shook my head, not answering.

I didn't want to burden my mom with these issues, so I decided not to tell her anything.

She wanted her phone, but I refused, telling her she needed to rest and shouldn't strain her brain.

Once my mom had rested, I finally trudged downstairs.

Bailey had already left to rest. The living room was empty except for me. I grabbed a bottle of red wine, planning to take a sip to help me sleep, but then my phone rang.

The ringing was urgent, echoing loudly in the silent living room. I quickly put down my wine glass and picked up the call.

"Where are you?" Neil's voice came through the phone, filled with gentleness.

"I'm at Sapphire River Community," I reclined back, picking up my wine glass again as I continued, "What about you, why are you still up?"

Neil paused before replying, "Can't sleep. There was a party tonight, had a few drinks."

I glanced at the wine in my glass and couldn't help but smile, "I'm having a drink too, fancy another one?"

I was just joking, but Neil asked back, "Really?"

"Yes. But you can't have any right now." I savored the wine in my glass, its rich flavor was soothing, and it would help me sleep well.

The sound of a car door opening came from the other end of the phone, and Neil's voice, tinged with a tipsy smile, said, "Is that so? Open the door."

I was taken aback. Was Neil at Sapphire River Community too?

Hearing him ask me to open the door, I got up and headed for the front door. As I got closer, I saw a man outside. He wasn't wearing a coat, just a deep blue shirt and a grey vest sweater, looking extremely elegant.

The wind was chilly, so I quickly opened the door. "What are you doing here? Aren't you cold?"

As soon as the words left my mouth, Neil pulled me into his arms. He smelled of alcohol, he must have had quite a bit, he seemed slightly tipsy.

He dipped his head down and gently kissed my lips, asking, "Did you find out about Bonnie and me?"
