Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 468

Emotions are the most unpredictable things in this world, even when you don’t speak, they can be seen in your eyes.

I know this feeling all too well. How could I not understand Russel?

But haven’t I overcome this too? And I feel like I’ve completely healed from the emotional drain!

After a while, I noticed that Russel’s eyes were turning red. He was desperately trying to keep his eyes open, as if to prevent tears from falling. At that moment, he looked wronged, filled with resentment for not being understood, his eyelashes quivering, already wet.

For a moment, I didn’t know what to do. It seemed like the first time I had ever seen Russel like this.

“Russel, are….are you okay?” I hurriedly grabbed a tissue, wanting to wipe the corner of his eyes, but he avoided me.

“I’m fine, I know you’ve always been firm in your decision, never changing. But I don’t want to give up. Other than you, I can’t fall in love with anyone else. To spend my life with a woman I don’t love would be like living with a second Chloe.” Russel’s words were fine until the last sentence which sent a shiver down my spine.

Looking at me, his eyes had regained their calm, even carrying a hint of coldness.

I felt like he was threatening me.

Chloe had lost her life, but she was truly devoted to Russel.

Hasn’t Russel ever felt guilty about Chloe?

Such a statement was too extreme either he never gave up on me, or he was cruel to anyone else who liked him. “What do you mean by that? Russel, don’t be so extreme, okay? You’re not supposed to be like this!” I was getting agitated too.

“You know what kind of person I am. You know almost everything I’ve done, don’t you?” Russel sighed softly. “I didn’t want to be like this, but there are things that if you don’t fight for them, there’s no hope at all.”

I was left speechless by his words, having seen his methods in my past life. He was really no different from Neil; his only downfall was that Bonnie loved Neil in my past life.

After saying these things, Russel turned and left, leaving his flowers on the table. I looked at them for a while but didn’t pick them
