Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 325

Chloe Reynolds spotted Russel Dawson, and her face instantly turned as pale as a ghost

Russel sure as hell wasn’t going to be thrilled about her looking for me.

“Ms. Reynolds, I got stuff to do. You guys carry on.” I dodged Chloe and left with a poker face.

I was so over dealing with these two. Both of them had previously plotted against me.

My feelings for Russel were all over the place now, from trust to regret, to the current state of estrangement and suspicion. It seemed like we were drifting further apart.

“I get it,” Chloe responded in a whisper, not daring to face Russel. She left even faster than me, heading for the exit.

When she passed by Russel, she paused slightly. But Russel didn’t even glance at her, his eyes were on me the whole time.

I felt uneasy, and his gaze was suffocating.

“Sorry.” He suddenly spoke as I passed by him, “She shouldn’t have come to see you and caused you trouble; it won’t happen again.”

“Russel, you gotta take your life decisions more seriously, don’t be so casual about it.” I stopped, thought for a moment, then decided to give him a piece of advice

I was unsure if Chloe heard, but it didn’t matter. My advice to Russel wasn’t about Chloe: I just wanted them to stop bothering me.

I didn’t want Russel’s past actions to affect me again, he was already showing signs of regression. I just wanted to distance myself from him.
