Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 109

“Ah, I’ve got a call to take. Enjoy the news!” Stella hurriedly said, ending the video chat.

Enjoy what? Unless she’s about to tell me that Neil has suddenly changed his mind, decided to completely ditch Bonnie, or Bonnie has decided to be with Russel

Feeling bored, fiddling with my phone for a while, I was on the verge of dozing off when my phone rang, causing my heart to race.

The name “Neil‘ flashing on the incoming call screen gave me a headache

“Hello?” I answered, sounding groggy and tired.

“Why the sudden trip abroad?” Neil’s voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Who did Stella accidentally spill the beans to? How did he find out so quickly?

I paused for a moment, “I wanted to go abroad, so I did. Is there a problem?”

“You should have at least told me! Don’t forget, we’re not divorced yet!” Neil’s voice was dripping with sarcasm.

“The reason I’m going abroad is because you’re unwilling to divorce. What are you doing bringing this up? Shouldn’t you be taking care of Bonnie? She has hurt her hand and needs care.“I retorted, with a hint of sarcasm.

Neil went silent for a moment. Finally, his voice regained its calm, “If you’re doing this to divorce me, fine. Draft a divorce agreement and send it over. I’ll sign it.”

I was slightly surprised, “Really?”

“Yes” Neil hung up the call.

I was still a bit dazed. Neil had promised me once before, but he had been dragging his feet for so long. Was he tricking me again this time?
