Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 303

Neil was working his butt off from dawn to dusk with a constant frown on his face.

Ryan pulled him aside for a chat, and I pretended to be oblivious. Whatever father and son were discussing, it wasn’t my place to butt

When mealtime rolled around, Neil and Ryan finally joined us in the dining room. Faith and Hannah had cooked up a storm, and the food looked mouth-watering

Usually, meals were a cheerful affair. But the atmosphere had tumed heavy because of the document. I couldn’t help but steal glances at Neil, trying to figure out what was going through his head.

Whenever he caught me looking at him, he’d give me a quick glance, and his frown would deepen.

This made me nervous. Was it something about me?

If so, Neil’s reaction suggested that I’d done something to upset him, and he knew about it.

I racked my brain but couldn’t think of anything that could piss Neil off unless there was some proof that I was taking advantage of him.

Everyone was lost in their thoughts during the meal. After we finished, we all retreated to our rooms..

“I think I’ll sleep in the study tonight,” Neil suddenly announced when we got back to our bedroom.

“Sure, whatever,” I responded nonchalantly

I got into bed and started messing around on my phone.

Neil gave me a quick glance, then turned and walked out.
