Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 352

I hesitated for a second, then picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"So, if I don't reach out to you, are you planning on ghosting me for the rest of your life?" Neil's tone was full of bitterness, making it sound like I had done him wrong.

I paused before saying, "Actually, that's not true. Didn't I send you the FarHorizon Group's information a few days ago?"

Neil didn't respond to that. For a moment, I thought he had hung up.

"You're really pushing it, aren't you?" Neil was seething. "Over a month has passed. You knew I was injured, but all you've done in the past month is send me some FarHorizon Group stuff, and you’ve barely said a word to me, let alone ask how I'm doing."

That was all new to me. Neil was getting pissed off at me for being cold?

That version of him was both strange and familiar because it reminded me of how I used to be.

Just as I was about to respond, Bonnie's voice drifted over, "Neil, didn't you say you would take me out to dinner? Let's go. I'm hungry!"

Her voice was sweet and her tone tender. Obviously, she and Neil were close.

A chill shot through me, and though I knew it was all an act, I couldn't ignore the pang of jealousy.

Neil abruptly hung up. Was he afraid that I would be upset to hear his reply, or was he afraid that Bonnie would find out he had called me?

What right did I have to blame him? This was the path I chose.

I buried my troubles deep down and took a deep breath, focusing on my work and figuring out how to get Ethan Foster's information from Gloria's safe.

I was in a funk all through work. The elevator mirror showed my furrowed brow. I smoothed out my forehead, and only when the elevator doors slowly opened did I look up.

Neil suddenly appeared before my eyes. He was wearing a simple white shirt with no tie, and a couple of buttons were undone at the collar, revealing his attractive collarbone.

I was taken aback. What was he doing there?

"Ah!" Before I could react, Neil pulled me out of the elevator, and I involuntarily followed him.

When we reached my apartment, Neil directly punched in the password he already knew.

I had no clue what he was up to until the door swung open, and he slammed it shut, pushing me against the wall and kissing me passionately, leaving me a little dazed.

Neil was quite aggressive. His hands were brazenly roaming under my clothes, ready to unbutton my shirt.

"Hold on!" I finally broke free from his kiss. I looked at the dangerously attractive man before me. His eyes were deep and sharp when he frowned. He was full of dominance.

"I don't want to wait anymore." Neil's voice was husky. "We planned to try for a baby, but now we're being distant. Counting in months, I think I've been treated unfairly."

I shoved Neil. I said to him in a sarcastic tone, "Weren't you going to have dinner with Bonnie?"

Neil's eyes dimmed. He caught the hand I had used to push him, pinning it above my head and trapping me between him and the wall. He smiled, "Do you know what happened at dinner today?"
