Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 372

Russel was over the moon when I agreed to let him accompany me on a stroll.

Mom had a real knack for buying houses. That entire area boasted sea views and was surrounded by tourist attractions, attracting visitors often.

It was mid-afternoon, and the sun was warm. It was a lot warmer than the winter in Rosemont. Some people even made it their winter getaway spot.

The beach was bustling with people playing in the sand. Kids were running around, giggling; it was a lively scene.

I sat on a bench, soaking in the sights, feeling pretty good.

“There’s a stall selling yogurt ice cream. I’ll go grab some!” I spotted a yogurt ice cream stall and hopped up, ready to get some.

But Russel stopped me, “Hold up, let me do it. The line’s long; it could take a while.”

He had a point. With my babies bump, standing for a long time would have been uncomfortable. It would have been even worse if someone accidentally bumped into me. I had no choice but to agree, “Alright, I’ll hit the loo first.”

While Russel stood in line for the ice cream, I made a beeline for the public restroom. Thanks to my pregnancy, I had to pee frequently, and squatting was a struggle. So, a toilet was my only option.

The public restroom didn’t have any toilets, so I had to make do.

Just as I finished up and was about to leave, I heard a familiar voice outside, “Hiram, go outside and find your dad. This is the ladies’ restroom. Boys can’t come in!” “Why do you say he’s my dad, but he doesn’t want me to call him dad?” Hiram asked in fluent English, his tone filled with confusion.

I froze. “Holy cow! I moved here and now I run into Karina and Hiram?” I thought to myself.
