Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 155

I turned around to see Neil standing there with a grim face, having clearly heard me call him a “jerk.”

I waved to Cathie coolly. “You should head off, drive safe tonight”

Cathie nodded, shot Neil a glare, and zoomed off with a press of the gas pedal.

If I had been half as free spirited as her, I wouldn’t have ended up with Neil, and none of this would have happened.

“So I’m a jerk in your eyes?” Neil’s voice was icy cold.

“What I think of you doesn’t matter, as long as you’re the best man in Bonnie’s eyes, that’s enough, isn’t it?” I retorted, “Neil, get a grip, Bonnie is important to you, and not just because of Karina. Stop coming to me with all this weird stuff.”

From the angle of the photo, we looked like a couple.

“Where did you get these?” I asked.

“Why were you hugging him? I thought you were just friends?” Neil was angry, as if I had cheated on him

“If you managed to get these photos, you must also know when they were taken. We were divorced by then. What happened between Oscar and me is none of your business.”
