Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 413

I never thought they’d show up at my place.

I didn’t recall giving them my address.

“It was Neil who told us,” Faith explained, seeing my surprised expression.

“Please come in,” I said, snapping out of my trance and quickly inviting them in for a cup of coffee.

“We just wanted to check in on you and your folks. I didn’t know where you were staying, so I asked Neil,” Faith replied with a broad smile before glancing around the room, “Where are your two little angels?”

“The nanny took them out for a walk,” I answered.

“That sounds lovely!” Faith commented, though I could see a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Did she want to see Serena and Brandon?

I was worried. Didn’t they believe that Serena and Brandon were my children with Russel? Despite Russel saying he had a DNA test done, who knew what Ryan and Faith were thinking?

Just then, Hiram ran out to the yard. I was a bit anxious, but Faith reassured me, “It’s all right. Let him play. He wouldn’t be interested in our adult conversation anyway.”

No sooner had Faith finished speaking than Hiram returned, quietly playing with his toys on the floor and causing no disturbance.
