Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 328

Neil’s words left me speechless for a moment, but I knew deep down that my unease was fading away with his words.

“You didn’t have to tell me all this.” I hesitated for a moment before squeezing out this sentence.

“I didn’t do it on purpose, and I came here to see you.” Neil’s tone had a touch of authority, but it didn’t make me uncomfortable.

I initially didn’t want to come downstairs, but his words made me waver a bit.

After hanging up the phone, I tiptoed downstairs to avoid waking my mom. As I crossed the yard and reached the gate, Neil’s figure stood under the dim street lamp with a cigarette in his hand.

Seeing me, he quickly put out the cigarette and tossed it into the nearby trash can, then spread his arms, “Aren’t you going to run over and give me a hug?”

How could I possibly run over and hug him? I just walked over calmly and gave him a light hug.

Neil, in turn, hugged me back, his arms so tight that I was practically pressed against his chest, hearing his heartbeat.

“You showed a bit of jealousy today, not bad! Neil’s voice was full of pleasure and an undeniable smirk. He patted my head lightly, “When can you be like before?”

I was silent for a few seconds before responding, “I’m not sure.”

“Uncertainty means possibility,” Neil let go of me and kissed my forehead, “Then everything I do feels worth it. If you ask me to clean the streets, I will do it.”

I couldn’t help but imagine Neil cleaning the streets in my mind. His usual cool boss image in a suit would be gone. He would definitely become the most handsome janitor and would surely go viral online.

This thought made me laugh out loud.

Before I could laugh again, I felt a soft touch on my lips. Neil grabbed my waist, had me stand on my tiptoes, and kissed me deeply.
