Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 515

Just as I was chatting, my mom gave me a call.

Things with Lucas were almost entirely ironed out by now. She and Dad were now managing his family business, meaning they would be staying there for a longer time. She suggested me to move there with Serena and Brandon.

"You’d better not go back to Eldoria. It wouldn't be convenient if Russel returns there too." my mother's tone was a tad solemn. "Your father and I don't have any other expectations. We just hope you can live a good life with the kids. As for marriage..."

My mom didn't go on, but I knew what she was hinting at. They wanted me not to be entangled in any more troubles with neither Neil nor Russel.

"I'll head over after some time." I replied.

I couldn't just head over now. The secret of Karina and Dylan was like a black hole, pulling me to unveil it. Moreover, I had this strong hunch that even if I avoided Karina by moving to my parents' place, our paths would cross again in the future.

Instead of being haunted by her once again in the future, I’d rather stay here and solve the mystery once and for all.

"Why waiting? You've been in Rosemont for a while, and both Neil and Russel are there too. How can your father and I be at ease?" My mom disagreed. She wanted me to move over immediately.

"I have some matters to settle. Don't worry, Mom. But there's something I really need your help with." I responded.

"What is it?" Mom asked.

"I want to send Serena and Brandon to your place. Can you please look after them for a while? I'll return once I'm done with the matters here." I expressed my worries about their safety in Rosemont.

Not only I worried about Neil’s suspicion, but I was also afraid of Karina’s intention. She was a ruthless being. She would be a great danger for my children’s safety if she believed that Serena and Brandon might threat her place in the Whitmore family.

My parents were busy managing Lucas' company, but I figured they could spare someone to look after the kids, along with a couple of babysitters.

My mom understood me well, knowing that I, ever so caring for the children, wouldn't suggest this if I didn't see the need. "Rena, has Neil brought you a lifetime of trouble? Even the kids have to suffer." she sighed.

I bit my lips and refrained from answering. I couldn’t refute the truth.

"Can you send them over, or do you want me to pick them up?" Mom asked, sounding resigned.

"I'll bring them over." I replied.

The trip from here to my parents' place was a bit of a journey. I would need a nanny to help me with the kids. But I had to do it for their safety.

Stella was taken aback when she heard that I was sending the kids away but quickly understood my reasoning. "I'll have Eliza accompany you to help with the kids. Can you be sure to drive?" Stella arranged everything neatly.

"Yes, and I'll set off first thing tomorrow," I nodded.

The following morning, I packed up the kids' stuff and, accompanied by Eliza, readied to set off in Stella's car.

As I was about to start the car, Neil's vehicle pulled up, effectively blocking my path.

He stepped out of his car and knocked on my window. I wound down the window reluctantly, "What is it?"
