Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 438

“I had a hunch it was him. Mitch wouldn’t admit it to me, but given their relationship, it was no surprise,” I replied in a somber tone. “Now the issue is what to do next. Mitch will definitely come looking for me again.”

Russel mulled over it for a moment before suggesting, “Tell Stella. It’s her child, after all. She should be the one to decide.”

I shared the same sentiment, but I was afraid that telling her would only stress her out and potentially hinder her proceedings in Rosemont.

While I was caught in this indecision, a call from Neil came in. Seeing the caller ID, my mood instantly dropped. I was incredibly annoyed.

Why was he calling? To see if Mitch had successfully taken the child away?

I immediately hung up on Neil, but he quickly sent a text message. As expected, it was about Mitch.

[Has Mitch been to your place?]

I didn’t respond, but Russel noticed the subtle change in my expression and accurately guessed who had called. “Was that Neil?”

“Yeah, he was asking about Mitch,” I didn’t deny.

“Why didn’t you pick up?” Russel asked.

“No point. I’ve already guessed the likely result. Confronting him won’t do any good,” I shook my head. Neil and I had nothing to do with each other now. I had no right to question his actions.

But he insisted on calling. Seeing the screen light up again, I was speechless.

Russel took the phone from my hand, and before I could react, he had answered the call.

“What do you want?” Russel coldly questioned as soon as he picked up.
