Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 512

Mitch, the wimp, acted as if he’d seen the cavalry arriving at the sight of Neil. He took refuge behind Neil, his voice a notch louder, “Let’s talk this out! There is no need for violence. Aren’t you just taking advantage of the fact that I never bully women?!”

“What’s going on? The front door wasn’t even closed.” Neil asked.

Stella rolled her eyes dismissively, not in the mood to talk. I, on the other hand, stared coldly at Mitch, “Ask your buddy here. What drove him all the way back from Eldoria?”

“What did you do, Mitch?” Neil turned to Mitch, demanding an explanation.

Mitch stuttered, unable to articulate a clear answer. I decided to speak on his behalf, “Russel sent him some pictures of Stella and me at the bar the other night. He rushed all the way back here just to accuse us of dressing inappropriately and neglecting our kids.”

As I summed up the situation, Mitch’s face turned awkward.

Neil’s brow furrowed. Then, he asked, “Is this true?”

“Neil, I’m not lying. You didn’t see how they dress. I used to spend my nights at bars, and I knew what kind of men hang out there. They have several kids at home, so they couldn’t just abandon them and go partying even if they’ve got nannies, can they?” Mitch argued, even though he looked embarrassed.

“I saw it.” Neil interrupted Mitch coldly.

“What? What did you see?” Mitch looked confused.

“I saw what they were wearing. I was there that night too.” Neil bent down, picked up a pillow from the floor and shoved it into Mitch’s arms. “I heard that you’ve been working overtime these past few days, almost pulling all-nighters, so as to spare some time to come back and question them, haven’t you?”

Stella and I exchanged glances. No wonder Mitch looked like he was on his last legs; he’d been working excessively for the past few days.
