Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 430

The words coming out of Neil’s mouth took me by surprise once again.

mouth

Could he really delineate right from wrong so clearly?

Thinking back to his past actions, they didn’t seem to differ much from Mitch’s.

Where did I go wrong?” Mitch refused to admit his mistakes. He still believed his special treatment towards Ariana was a minor issue, akin to lending a helping hand.

His rebuttal made my blood boil. If Stella were here, I bet they would come to blows.

“If you can’t even see where you went wrong, you might as well just hand the kids over to her, get a divorce, and then whatever happens between you and Ariana or any other woman won’t matter!” Fuming, I pointed at Mitch and spoke without mincing words.

The mention of his kids always riled up Mitch. His voice heightened, “Impossible. The kids are mine too. I haven’t cheated or been abusive. If we divorce, I won’t be the one at fault. Why should I give them up?”

His words chilled me to the bone. Mitch was now hell-bent on gaining custody of the kids, as if the idea of reconciling with Stella was no longer his priority.

In the past, he would have first considered how to win Stella back, not how to fight for the kids.

“Do you still love Stella?” After a few seconds of silence, I asked Mitch.

Perhaps the central issue wasn’t whether something had happened between Mitch and Ariana, but whether Mitch still loved Stella.

If he did, he would find a way to salvage their marriage.

Mitch seemed taken aback by my question. His raging anger dissipated, replaced by a stunned silence.

I felt a profound disappointment, on Stella’s behalf.

Neil must have sensed Mitch’s change too. His voice lowered, “Let’s leave here for now.”

Mitch attempted to speak, but faltered.
