Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 132

Kate didn’t dare to argue with me at work, and looked grumpy all afternoon.

After work, I drove off and right as I was leaving the office, I spotted a familiar red BMW. Bonnie just got out of the car. She was all dolled up, wearing a polka dot beret, looking young and trendy. Her attire matched well with the red BMW

Why was she here if she had quit her job? I was puzzled, but didn’t give it much thought.

After I got back to my apartment complex, I took the elevator up as usual. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand shot in and stopped them The elevator door slowly opened again, and Neil walked in expressionlessly He glanced at me once, and then the two of us never made eye

Neil was carrying some groceries. It was the first time I saw him doing grocery shopping. He looked like a real family guy

A few seconds after the elevator doors closed, the elevator jolted abruptly, I grabbed onto the handrail to steady myself, my heart pounding.

“The elevator’s broken, Neil tried the open door button, but it didn’t respond.
