Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 419

Ariana was just average-looking and appeared significantly older than Mitch, but she had a gentle aura about her.

A man accompanied her, who was probably a colleague.

Upon seeing me, Ariana paused, “Oh, is this a new colleague?”

Mitch’s face tumed awkward.

I had no fondness for the woman. The way she looked at Mitch was far from an ordinary colleague’s gaze. It was tender and affectionate.

“I’m not.” I responded coldly, “I can’t be that kind of colleague.”

My words made Mitch’s face drop. Even if I didn’t say it, he knew what I was implying.

Whether Ariana could comprehend my words or not was another question.

Apparently, she either didn’t understand or chose to ignore it. Without a hint of embarrassment, she smilingly approached the stroller where Serena was.

“Oh, Mitch, you’ve got two little angels?” Ariana reached out to play with Serena.

“They’re a friend’s children.” Mitch hurriedly explained.

Then he quickly introduced, “This is my wife and our child. You’ve only seen pictures of them. Now you’re meeting them in person.”

Stella, who had initially looked upset, immediately brightened up when Ariana arrived, putting on a big, welcoming smile, “You must be Ariana. My husband occasionally talks about you.”
