Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 89

I had a great snooze that night, and when I woke up. I was still in Neil’s arms

He was still asleep I carefully crawled out of bed, not to wake him. His clothes were on the chair I took a sniff, and yup, they smelled like booze. He must have had quite a few last night

My phone started to vibrate It was my dad, again

I sighed and walked out of the bedroom to take the call.

“Rena, when are you and Neil coming over? We’ve already got the groceries. Your mom says she’s going to cook today!” My dad sounded super excited.

“Dad, Neil and I might not be able to make it today. “I hated to let him down It was rare for him to look forward to our visits this much.

But Neil had to go to Zion Chemical Plant today. It was pretty hectic over there, so he often had to check up on things.

My dad was clearly disappointed when he heard this, “Why? Didn’t you tell him? Or he just doesn’t want to come?”

When we first got married, my parents often invited us over for meals, but Neil always politely declined. He only visited on my parents‘ birthdays or holidays.

Over time, my parents got the hint and stopped inviting us. Their impression of Neil got worse and worse

Just as I was about to make up an excuse about work, my phone was snatched out of my hands. I turned around in surprise and found Neil awake. He took my phone and told my dad, “We’ll be there soon”

My dad hung up, satisfied with Neil’s reply.

Neil handed me my phone. Seeing my stunned look, he chuckled and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“Aren’t you supposed to go to Zion Chemical Plant?” I asked, taking back my phone.
