Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 123

After chatting with Orlando for a bit, I took over some of Kate’s work it wasn’t a lot, but it gave me a chance to gain some experience.

I couldn’t take on all of Kate’s work though, because I was pregnant and I didn’t want to overwork myself

With more tasks, I became busier. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, and Simmons told me he’d found a new place to live

“If you don’t mind. I could still pay rent and live here It might be a bit inconvenient for you living alone now that you’re pregnant, and there’d be no one to look after you‘ Simmons said with a look of concern before he left

“Simmons, don’t you worry about me, I can take care of myself. Besides, your new place is nearby, right? I can ask for your help if I need anything “I was touched by his concern, but I also hoped that Simmons could let me go. After all, I was pregnant, he might not want to step up and play daddy to someone else’s kid

Simmons sighed, didn’t make it hard for me, and just left with his simple luggage.

I have to say, the house was more vibrant with one more person, and after Simmons left, I felt a little lost facing this suddenly empty room alone. It wasn’t that I missed him so much, but my hormones were all over the place because of the pregnancy, making my emotions more intense, whether it was happiness or sadness.

I pulled myself together, took a bath, went to sleep, and carried on with life as usual.

Luckily, Neil was nowhere to be seen in the next few days. I don’t know if he went back to his country or was staying at Bonnie’s

The weekend was coming up, and the expansion department sent out a survey full of recreational activities for us to choose from.

The activity with the most votes would be chosen for the department’s weekend party, which was basically a team–building activity. Surprisingly, our department head even invited Kate, who was an early member of the expansion department and got along well with everyone

Bonnie was with Kate

“Trene” Every time she saw me, Bonnie would politely call my name.

I was annoyed and ignored her.

“Trene, there’s no need to give her the cold shoulder. She’s a polite little girl Kate defended Bonnie.

Her words made a few colleagues give me a second look. My attitude towards Bonnie was obviously off

I didn’t expect Kate and Bonnie to become so close in just a few days. Has Kate started to see Bonnie as her deceased sister?

Bonnie bit her lip, “It’s okay, Kate. Irene might just be stressed from work and not in a good mood. I understand.”

Her empathetic words made Kate look relieved I don’t know what she found comforting.

It was a villa party organized by the expansion department. After participating in a few games, I went to the terrace for some peace and quiet.

Like a ghost, Kate appeared behind me, “Do you dislike Bonnie that much?”

“I don’t have to be bosom buddies with her I found it absurd.

“My sister used to dislike you too “Kate brought up Karina again, “She paid the price with her life. Bonnie is a lot like her, but she’s more mild–mannered. Sometimes I wonder if things would have been different if my sister had been as easygoing as her.”

“I felt very relieved.”

“Stop bringing it up. I told you, I had nothing to do with your sister. I didn’t even know her,” I sat on the chair, looking at the distant view, and said. indifferently. “You should tell Bonnie that she’s a substitute for your sister, so she can understand how important your sister was to Neil”

Kate was annoyed by my attitude. She said coldly, “I’ve told her that she reminds me of my deceased sister, but I wont tell her about my sister’s past with Neil. I’m not as cruel as you” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Cruel?” I couldn’t understand, “Just because of someone I didn’t even know, I have to bear these baseless accusations? So now I should jump into a river because I knew about your sister?”

Kate glared at me

I’d had enough. I stood up and pointed at her, “Listen, Kate, I’m not the one who ruined your sister and Neil’s relationship, but Bonnie is the one who ruined mine with Neil Enough with the true love crap! If you think Bonnie is like your sister, you can worry about her yourself. I’m already being as generous as i can by being willing to divorce Neil and let her take my place. Don’t push me to do something she can’t handle!”

Just as I finished speaking, Bonnie and a few colleagues were standing at the entrance of the terrace with drinks in their hands. She looked shocked, wronged, and embarrassed

Oh, and let’s not forget the tears.

Everyone had heard what I just said and their faces were all awkward.

Bonnie turned and ran away. Kate quickly followed after her, turning to me to say, “Was that necessary? You and Neil are already divorced! Why are you still targeting her?”

After she said that, she also left to follow Bonnie

| luughed, took a bottle of drink from a colleague and said nonchalantly, “See? Bonnie stole my ex husband, and fim supposed to thank her, otherwise I’m the bad guy How interesting”

The expressions on my colleagues‘ faces were quite something, especially the male ones who were attracted to Bonnie’s beauty I wonder how they felt

I left, not caring at all about the gossip. After all, on this matter, Bonnie was the one being criticized, not me

Because of the trouble between Bonnie and me, the atmosphere of the activity was quite bad.

I left the villa and headed to my car, planning to go home.

At that moment, Neil’s car appeared not far away He got out of the car, his face expressionless.

He didn’t go back to his country, so he must have been staying with Bonnie these days.

Kate led Bonnie past me and went over to Neil. She said something to him, and then Bonnie began to cry

The world is a funny place Kate used to hate Neil so much Was she ready to reconcile with him because of Bonnie’s arrival?

She looked so worried and busy, like a big sister handing over her beloved little sister to someone else.

As Neil was listening, his gaze suddenly fixed on me.

I really hate my superior vision. How could I see the subtle changes in his eyes from this distance?

From indifference to displeasure, then to heartache, it was so annoying to watch.

I got in the car, completely ignoring Neil and the other two, hit the gas and left.

I had just gotten home when my phone rang. I thought it was Neil calling to stand up for his beloved, but to my surprise, it was Russel
