Chapter 506

The words had barely left Russel’s lips when Neil shot him a frosty look.

Must be the whiskey playing tricks on me, I thought and rubbed my eyes. But when I looked again, the two men were still there, and their expressions were even more displeased than before.

Stella had already dashed off with a group of young men, and although the bar was bustling with people, I suddenly felt like I didn’t belong.

“I need to use the restroom,” I said, not knowing how else to escape the awkward situation.

“I’ll go with you.” Neil offered, standing to block my exit.

“No need,” I replied, pushing him back onto the couch. “Please have a drink, I’ll be back to explain things.”

But Russel stepped in my way. “Irene, what on earth are you wearing?”

Hooked down at my overly sexy top. It was a bit embarrassing. “Stella picked it out for me. I’ll explain later” I offered, trying to smile.

“I’m leaving soon. You will come with me.” Russel declared, grabbing my arm firmly.

“I can’t leave yet. Stella’s not back.” I protested, trying to break free. But Russel was stronger. I didn’t have a chance.

Russel’s already stern face turned frosty. “Don’t forget that I’m her husband.” he retorted.

“Why lie to yourself?” Neil asked coldly. “You know as well as I do that she’s never loved you. Not even having two kids together can change that. Didn’t Mitch and Stella separate despite having three kids?”

I didn’t want Neil to continue. His words were too hurtful. Russel didn’t say anything, but I knew every word was like a dagger to his heart.

“That’s enough!” I cut Neil off and turned to Russel. “Let’s go outside for a few words.”
