Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 133

In the evening, I shared Neil’s words with my girlfriends in our chat group.

Stella and the others started analyzing it like detectives. Stella said, “Rena, didn’t you see Neil asking for Bonnie’s contact info with your own eyes? Doesn’t that mean he was the one who started chasing her?”

Barbara countered, “Not necessarily Just because he asked for her phone number doesn’t mean he’s after her I think Neil may be a bit of a jerk, but I don’t think he would be to Rena”

Stella added, “I am really confused, what the heck are these two up to? It’s such a headache!”

Alicia also chimed in, “Regardless, according to my gut feeling, Bonnie is not as simple as she seems…”

Stella continued. “You’re right, the ones who seem innocent are the most cunning when they’re playing mind games. Rena, you’re divorced now, don’t overthink it, and it’s best not to meet Bonnie or Neil in the future. You three just don’t mix well”

As I watched their analysis, an image of Russel popped into my mind. Maybe he knew something? I gave Russel a call, and he picked up right away.

“When are you free? I have something to ask you,” I asked

I’m free now Can we meet up?” Russel didn’t ask me what was the matter.

“Okay, I’ll come find you because it’s not very convenient for you to come over, I picked up my car keys and headed out, “Where are you now?”

I had a lot of questions in mind, hoping he could help me clear some up, and put my doubts to rest.
