Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 174

Neil’s recent behavior was like he had been possessed by a demon. The last time I saw him, he exuded a chilly aura, and now, he was radiating an aura that screamed “stay away” This aloofness made him seem like a stranger to me

I had been married to him for five years, and I knew deep down that his character was cold, but not in this gloomy coldness. All in all, there was something strangely unsettling about him now

After Bonnie finished mocking Oscar, she turned to leave, but Neil’s presence startled her. She took two steps back and leaned against the foot of the hospital bed

“Neil Bonnie called out, her voice carrying a hint of nervousness.

“Get out of my sight Neil’s lips finally moved. “Fuck off”

Bonnie’s back was turned to me, so I couldn’t see her expression, but her voice was composed “Neil, why are you avoiding me? I’m not here to pester you There are some matters that need discussion.”

bother me.”

Bonnie was left speechless for a moment. She had worked hard to secure her status as the vice president’s adopted daughter of a major overseas corporation. She even brought back two hundred million dollars to invest in Rosemont. Shouldn’t Neil be reevaluating her given all this?

Even though Whitmore Co. was powerful, business still needed to be conducted. He couldn’t just ignore the opportunities right in front of him, could he?

I could sense Bonnie’s complex emotions in that moment.
