Chapter 374

When I heard my mom’s words, I was kind of taken aback. I knew what she was getting at; she deeply hoped that Russel and I could end up together.

That harmonious scene before her eyes was what she wished for.

But you know what? Some things just can’t be forced. People who are not meant to be together will never be together.

That was the case with me and Neil.

Russel and I made eye contact for a while, but neither of us said anything.

“I was thinking of making a seafood platter today. Are you down for that?” Russel changed the subject.

“Sure. Do you have the ingredients? Or do we need to run to the store?” I asked. The previous time when I was pregnant, I couldn’t stand the smell of seafood, but this time, I was game for anything.

Seeing my food-craving face, Russel chuckled and said, “I’ve got it covered. I’ll go get it.”

After he left to get the ingredients, my mom finally blurted out, “Rena, Russel’s really good to you. If you guys were together, you could put an end to the mess with

Neil.”

Her words were similar to what Russel had suggested before. I was shocked and asked, “Have you lost your mind? If you think Russel is a good man, don’t screw him over. You want him to play daddy to someone else’s kids?”

“Ah…” My mom probably realized she went too far. Russel was a great guy; why should he have been the father of someone else’s kids?
