Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 104

I simply couldn’t stand Stella anymore. As for her wild imaginations, I chose to ignore them.

Mom texted me, asking if I had arrived at Stella’s house, so i tested her back, “Yes”

Then Stella and I sat on the couch, watching TV and chatting Somehow we got onto the topic of Bonnie. I told her everything about Bonnie’s bank transfer screenshot last night and how Neil drove her home today.

Stella was fuming Ts Neil trying to play both sides? Rena, you don’t need a lowlife like him!”

Tm already planning to dump him I calmly said while munching on a piece of cake.

Are you seriously considering moving abroad?” Stella hugged me 1 really can’t bear to see you leave”

I’m not leaving forever I come back and visit whenever I can!” I kissed her on her smooth forehead

Stella accepted that immediately Money meant freedom. If she missed me, she could always come and visit, and take a trip abroad while she was at it.

We were talking when Simmons’s voice came from the dining room, “Stella, dinner’s ready“”

Stella responded and then helped me to the dining room.

I had to say. Simmons was a superb cook. Every dish was delicious.

What delighted me the most was that I actually loved everything he made

He attentively served the food and even ladled soup for us.

We had a lively dinner. As long as Stella stopped pushing me to date Simmons, we could have a great time.

But she disappointed me again. During dinner, she didn’t say anything inappropriate, but she sneakily took a photo The photo showed Simmons serving food on my plate while I was thanking him

If it weren’t for the photo she posted on Facebook after dinner, I wouldn’t have known that she was up to something again.
