Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 378

Though I would spoil my two little gems rotten, I would never let them grow into jerks.

Neil Whitmore was great, except when it came to relationships!

“Neil, you have Karina Aaron and Hiram now, and I have my own family. Let’s stop interfering with each other’s lives. I probably won’t return to Rosemont. You might want to persuade Karina to go back with you and leave us be.” I finally broke the silence. After all, that was an issue between Neil and me, and it wasn’t fair to leave it all on Russel Dawson’s shoulders.

“I haven’t even begun to address your leaving without a word!” Neil shot me a cold glare, his words gritted out through clenched teeth.

Indeed, I left Rosemont without saying goodbye to Neil and even asked Stella Wallace not to disclose it.

Why should I have told him?

Neil had cut down on his interactions with me. The media had begun buzzing about Karina’s return, and he was so busy accommodating his old flame that I didn’t want to waste his time.

“Was it me leaving without saying goodbye, or were you too preoccupied to care about my family’s affairs?” I sighed. “Neil, didn’t you know that my family’s company was being transferred at that time? Or were you too engrossed with Karina’s issues to care?”

Neil froze. A complexity of emotions washed over his features. His lips moved, almost as if he didn’t know how to respond.

He must have known, and that was what I cared about. Knowing that things were changing on my end, he chose to deal with Karina first.

From then on, I knew I could never compare to Karina in his heart.
