Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 463

The purpose of Karina’s visit today was not just to say those words to me.

She took out a small gift box from her bag, delicate and adorable. There was a little blue bear on it, along with an English design wishing a happy seventh birthday.

“Next week is Hiram’s seventh birthday. Neil and I are throwing a birthday bash for him. You should come,” Karina said with apparent cheer.

Seven years old. Counting back, I was married to Neil for five years, then divorced and messed around for two to three years, and during this time, his child with another woman had grown into a seven-year-old boy.

“Thanks for the invite, but I won’t be coming. Take the gift back,” I said, uninterested.

“Well, the choice is yours, Karina was not insistent. She smoothed her hair, and before leaving, she said, “Ms. Finch, since someone is treating you like a gem, please keep your distance from other women’s men. Try not to have unnecessary overlap, thank you.”

In the end, she still saw me as a love rival, and her hostility was quite intense.

I don’t know why both Bonnie and Karina fear me so much, even though they know that I was Neil’s wife for five years while living a widow’s life. After Karina left, I took a deep breath. I felt a bit moody.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly. It was midday, the hottest time of the day. I got up to look at the view from the window, then planned to order some take-out to fill my
