Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 193

“My wife is back! Mitch, all dressed up, probably just got back from work. Seeing Stella get out of my car, he immediately rushed over to pick up Lella and enthusiastically greeted Stella.

My instinct was to refuse, but Russel looked at me again; his eyes were complex and a bit repressed.

I let out a deep sigh, “Alright. Dr. Russel, I’ll take you home”

Russel didn’t say a word. He kept his lips tight but seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He nodded at Mitch, then got into my car.
