Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 238

I was speechless and just silently stared at Neil

Neil walked to the car, opened the passenger door, quickly got in, and sat down. “I was just joking. Take me to a nearby hotel”

“Why don’t you drive yourself?” I was somewhat reluctant.

“Out of gas. I was in a hurry to find you, I didn’t have time to fill up.” Neil replied calmly.

I had to admire his composure. He not only figured out where I was going but also falled me from a distance, not missing a single beat.

But, even without Neil, I needed to find a place to rest

Lucas liked peace and quiet, living in a villa in the suburbs. So I still had to drive into town to find a place to sleep.

I didn’t say much and just drove off

On the road, I discovered that Neil had actually fallen asleep in the passenger seat. He looked a bit vexed; even in sleep, his brows were slightly furrowed. Then a ringtone rang It was coming from Neil’s pocket. He was deeply asleep with no reaction.

I pretended I didn’t hear it, but the phone rang again and again, like it wouldn’t stop unless it was answered.

Finally, the phone woke Neil up. He took out his phone, took a glance, answered the call, and put it aside. “Who is this?”

It seemed like an unknown number

“You finally answered my call!” Bonnie’s voice came through, excited, even a tad choked up

Upon hearing Bonnie’s voice, Neil wanted to hang up.

Bonnie seemed to have anticipated Neil’s intention, quickly adding, “Neil, the Finch family is on the brink of collapse; you don’t need to think about Irene anymore. Why let her drag you down?”
