Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

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.

Seeing the struggle, Neil stood up and came over. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away from Russel. “Don’t touch her!” he scolded outrageously.

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.”
