Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 113

After Neil left, Russel and the others gave me a look.

If the call Neil got was from Bonnie, it meant his ex–wife and current girlfriend would have to share a meal.

Stella couldn’t take it anymore. She got up abruptly and said, “I’m not eating!”

“It’s okay “I was worried that Stella’s agitation might affect her baby.

Mitch quickly patted her belly, “Don’t worry, baby! Your mom’s just a little pissed off!”

Stella lashed out at Mitch, “Just the thought that you’re friends with Neil makes me not want to marry you!”

Mitch didn’t say anything, holding his head

“Stella, you’re pregnant. Don’t get upset.” I reminded Stella again.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, the door to the box opened again.

Neil walked in with a man. They were laughing and their relationship seemed good.

But I didn’t know the man.

“Louis Aldridge?‘ Russel recognized the man, sounding a little surprised.

“Russel, long time no see! Louis, who was about Neil’s age and looked quite refined, greeted Russel with a smile.

Once Neil and Louis sat back down, I cast them a few glances. I had assumed Neil was going to pick up Bonnie, but instead he brought back a man.

Louis took the seat across from me. I faintly felt like I had seen him somewhere before. After some thought, I remembered that I had seen him in Neil’s photo album.

Neil’s album recorded some key moments from his childhood till now. There was a photo of him, Russel, and another boy of the same age.

It was their high school graduation photo. The face of the boy I didn’t recognize in the photo looked very similar to Louis in front of me.

I hadn’t met Louis in my previous life, and I hadn’t noticed him in the photos either.
