Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 33

I didn't mean to look down on Bonnie. Everyone has their own way of life. Living an ordinary life is the fate of most people.

I was just lucky. My family left me a bit of wealth, giving me a slightly better financial situation than others.

But I was curious about Bonnie's life, her job, her favorite food, and her clothing style.

"This is so yummy!" Barbara wasn't a fan at first, but after a while, she started to enjoy it. After finishing a plate of sushi, she ordered yakitori.

Barbara told me if she got pregnant soon after getting married, she would choose to be a stay-at-home mom.

As for her dream of music, she might have to give it up.

"If you had your family invest some money in you, you could be a big-name singer now," I joked.

"That would be boring. If I knew I was going to win, I wouldn't want to play the game," Barbara pouted.

That made me feel a bit awkward. I felt like she was talking about me.

I knew Neil would end up with Bonnie in the end, but I was still struggling. I was such a fool.

After the meal, we did some shopping and finally went home with bags full of goodies.

I had Bailey pick me up. The Panamera was in the shop, so he drove a black Lincoln. I shoved my shopping bags into the back seat, then hopped in the front passenger seat, "go home!"

Ada was very considerate. When I got home, she had already got ten prescriptions from her relatives and neatly placed them on the table.

"Ma'am, just boil these herbs into a soup and drink it twice a day," Ada said.

"Thank you, Ada. How much do I owe you?" I reached for my wallet.

"No need, ma'am. I broke your skincare products last time and didn't compensate you. Consider this my payback," Ada waved it off.

I didn't insist, just thanked her again.

Somehow, Faith managed to get Neil to come back that night. The moment he walked in the door, he dropped his coat, exuding a chill.

I quietly ate my dinner, pretending not to see him.

After Neil went upstairs, Ada brought the herbal soup and asked, "Ma'am, should I take it up, or..."

I elegantly wiped the corner of my mouth, "I'll do it."

I carried the soup upstairs to the guest room. Neil must be taking a shower. The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom.

His phone on the table lit up. I took a peek, it was a stock market push notification. His lock screen was a girl's back view. She was wearing a sky-blue cotton dress, her ponytail shining under the sun.

I recognized Bonnie's back instantly.

After the screen went off, I pressed it again to keep looking at the picture. Not until the sound of water stopped and the door opened did I hastily avert my eyes.

"Why are you here?" Seeing me, Neil asked indifferently.

His hair was wet, a few strands hanging between his brows, making him look very refreshing, as if he was several years younger. His black short-sleeve pajamas and pants made the lines of his shoulders and chest very clear.

I was a bit jealous of Bonnie.

"Drink this." I gently pushed the bowl of herbal soup on the table.

"No." Neil replied in resignation.
