Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 101

My phone was buzzing with a string of new messages.

All were New Year wishes.

Russel Dawson, “Happy New Year”

Oscar Morse, Trene, in the new year, may you keep getting more gorgeous and cheerful, and say goodbye to all your troubles!”

Simmons Wallace, “Rena, Happy New Year!”

Bailey. “Ma am, Happy New Year. Thank you for letting me drive home. My father had some health issues a few days ago, luckily he got to the hospital in time”

I first replied to Bailey “Happy New Year Don’t rush back to work I’ll be going abroad after the new year and might stay for about two years. During this time, you can take care of your father first, then come back to drive for my father Your salary won’t change”

Then I opened my group chat with four people.

Stella Wallace was showing off her carefully retouched selfies in the group, and Barbara Sands was madly posting various fireworks gifs. Only Alicia Rider occasionally sent messages praising Stellas beauty or responding to Barbara’s enthusiasm

I snapped a picture of the fireworks outside the window and posted it in the group. “Friends, a new year, a new beginning”

Stella, Barbara, and Alicia were all in Rosemont, so they naturally saw the same fireworks. They each also took a video of the fireworks and posted it in the group, it was sort of like we were watching the fireworks together.

Stella was thrilled to know that I was spending the New Year at home, “Way to gol”

I also told them about my plan to go abroad. Everyone was very reluctant to see me go, but considering that Neil Whitmore was refusing to divorce me, they all strongly supported my decision.

After chatting for a while, I replied to everyone’s New Year wishes one by one and also sent a New Year message to my in–laws
