Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 252

“Hmph, seems like you’re getting a kick out of threatening me lately” Neil suddenly sat up, turned towards me, and I held my breath.

He was the one who started threatening me, and I was just fighting back. Nothing wrong with that.

After a minute or two of standoff, Nel picked up my phone. The screen lit up, and there it was the screensaver I had never bothered to change

It was from the winter before our divorce, the night | threatened Neil into building a snowman with me, captured by the surveillance cameras in our yard,

I hadn’t changed the screensaver, not because i couldn’t let go of our relationship, but simply because I liked the scene in the picture. It was a rare moment of intimacy between Neil and me.

“So, you still can’t bring yourself to change 4 huh?” Ned asked me

11’s just a screensaver,” responded calmly, ‘not changing it only proves that I’ve moved on from you. I don’t need to deliberately avoid my memories.”

My reasoning seemed to upsel Neil He tossed my phone aside and said, “I don’t agree with that”

Whether he agreed or not was his problem, not mine.

Just as i was deep in thought. Neil suddenly kissed me. He bit my lip intentionally hard enough to make me tear up.

I wanted to fight back, but Neil had pinned my hands, and my injured legs were immobile. I had no choice but to surrender

Neils kiss was ferce and tough, devoid of any tenderness. It was filled with a sense of revenge and punishment. I felt like he was sucking the life out of me. I was sure I would pass out if he didn’t let go.

Finally, he let go of my lips, but his warm breath was still lingering on my neck and chest I couldn’t help but curte, “You’re such a beast!”

Really?” Nel paused and had the audacity to reply nearly choking me with his response

“Youre not comfortable night now, but if you continur la upset me. I won’t mind returning the favor” Neil said shamelessly.

if during my past life, Bonnie hadn’t intentionally gotten close to Neil but was forced to, I could now somewhat understand how helpless she must have felt back then

Facing this rich and influential beast, even I was powerless, let alone an ordinary college girl? Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

I was seething with anger, but I couldn’t risk provoking Neil into doing something outrageous. So, I swallowed my pride

“Would you like to see your father?” Neil released my hands, laid back down, and his voice returned to its normal calm

I was taken aback and remained silent.

Neil raised an eyebrow, “Don’t look at me like that. If you want to see him, just let me know. I can arrange it”

“You tried to speak, but words escaped me.

I really wanted to see my father, but all my attempts had been fruitless. Even Stella Wallace and her team had tried to investigate the matter, but as Harold said, someone was purposely suppressing the

information, making it difficult to uncover the truth.

I couldn’t figure out who Bonnie and Glona were connected to, but their companies were thriving.

“I have a condition” Neil’s gaze was deep. 7 want you to stay here with me for a month. I guarantee I won’t do anything inappropriate”

My hopes were instantly shattered.

Seeing my disappointment. Neil tried to tempt me, “What about twenty days? Don’t you want to ask your father what happened? Don’t you want to see how he’s doing in prison?”

“Stop!’ I imterrupted Neil, not wanting to be swayed again. “My father wouldn’t want me to have anything to do with you. My mother is in the hospital because asked for your help.”

Neil fell silent, his eyes cold. The atmosphere became tense

Neither of us fell back asleep. As the first light peeked through the thick curtains, Neil got up to freshen up and change.

I called Bailey Bailey, can you pick me up at Sterling Estates?”

“Ms Finch where did you hay?” Bailey sounded puzzled.

“Sterling Estates, where I used to live Get a wheelchair before you come,” Treplied

Bailey wasn’t the talkative type. He hung up and went to do as asked

By the time I hung up. Neil had already come out of the walk-in closet. He was wearing a black coat with a matching sweater vest over a shirt. He looked elegant and dignified, a stark contrast to his actual character.

“Where are the clothes I wore yesterday?” I asked.

“They’ve been sent for laundry. You’re not planning to go to the office in your condition, are you?” Neil glanced at me as he tied his te

I

frowned and said, “Then what am I supposed to wear to the office?”

Nell didn’t seem to agree with me going to the office, but he still fetched me a set of clothes in the style I used to wear often.

He placed the clothes next to me. “Need help getting dressed?”

Iresponded coldly. “I can dress myself”

Neil looked at my feet, said nothing, and walked out

It was a struggle to get dressed. Every time I accidentally touched my ankle, the pain made me grit my teeth. If things were as they used to be and my parents were okay, I wouldn’t have to go to work in this state.

As soon as I finished changing. Neil walked in, “Are you ready?”

“You don’t have to wait for me. Bailey is coming to take me to the office,” I replied, sitting on the edge of the bed.

“So, you want him to carry you downstairs and outside?” Neil’s expression soured at the thought.

“He can handle it,” I nodded

Neil’s face darkened, and he responded angrily. Just because he can doesn’t mean he should!”

We were still talking when a servant came up to tell Neil that Bailey was waiting outside the gates of Sterling Estates but couldn’t get in

Neil snapped and said, “Let him wait outside!”

The servant left cautiously. I confronted Neil, “Why won’t you let him in? Are you expecting me to get downstairs and into the car by myself?”

Neil came over, picked me up, and started walking out of the bedroom, “Do you think I don’t exist?”

I didn’t say anything because that was exactly what I was thinking.

The staff downstairs were hustling and bustling. They glanced at Neil and me, then quickly looked away, pretending to be oblivious and carrying on with their work

I didn’t have the guts to look at them. I was the one who asked for a divorce, and now here I was, being carried in and out by Neil.

Neil took me to the dining room, “Let’s have breakfast first.”

“Bailey is waiting for me I’m not eating. I refused

“You’re his boss Waiting on you is his job, so eat first Neil always looked at things through a capitalist lens, and arguing with him was pointless. I kept my mouth shut and just shot Bailey a text asking him to wait a little longer
