Reborn Reawakened Rekindled Novel - Season 2 Episode 50

“Go ahead”I said, closing the door behind me

After Cathie asked a few questions, I realized she was really into Neil

Like what type of women Neil digs, his favorite food, the kind of fun stuff he’s into

I answered her one by one

After I finished answering all her questions, Cathie looked at me with those big eyes of hers and said. “Heard you were deeply in love with him, guess it’s true. How else could you know so much?”

“Good luck with that I said, a smirk playing on my lips.

After heading back to my room and taking a shower, my phone buzzed. It was Russel with a video call.

Once I picked up. I was greeted by his handsome face.

He called to ask about Neil’s statement.

After I explained a bit, he suddenly said. “Maybe I shouldn’t be a doctor, should take over the family business instead.”

“What do you mean? I asked, squinting my eyes

“So I can be like Neil, more free time.”

Russel said with a bitter smile, “You went abroad, I managed to get a work assignment to follow you. But now that you’re back, I can’t just leave.”

I opened my eyes wide, feeling a bit sorry for him, “I’ll have a three-second silence for you”

“Wait until I’m back, then you can mourn for me in person.” He said.

“Okay, I’ll bring candles.” I joked.

“You trying to scare me off

“No, just trying to set the mood.”

We chatted for about twenty minutes, then I dozed off, didn’t even hang up the call.

Woke up the next day to a dead phone.

After I charged it up and checked, our call lasted more than four hours.

Turns out he didn’t hang up either, he waited until my phone died.

What a champ

Next morning. I went downstairs and saw Cathie just emerging from the quest room, her eyes a bit puffy Looked like she stayed up all night.

“Trene, I thought about it all night, I think my biggest rival is Bonnie. Does Nel really like her? She asked.

“I have no idea, that’s something you’ll have to find out for yourself.” I replied.

“You’re right, but I don’t think there’s anything special about Bonnie. She s just a bit more innocent looking I don’t think she’s anything special, I won’t lose to her” Cathie’s confidence was sort of amusing to me.

After breakfast prepared by my mom, Cathie got a call from a friend and left.

I had a hunch she wasn’t here in Rosemont to visit friends, but to see Ned

Now that Neil and Bonnie’s relationship is the talk of the town, she’s probably feeling the heat and used this as an excuse to come here

If I guessed right, she’ll find a way to see Neil.

I just didn’t expect to be dragged into it.

The day after Cathie left, she called my dad, said she wanted to thank us for letting her stay the night by treating me to dinner, then gave him the address My dad, being good friends with her dad, quickly agreed and told me to meet Cathie at the restaurant after hanging up.

“Cathie’s a very sweet gut, you can treat this as making a new friend.” My dad said.

He’d rather I go out and enjoy life than confine myself at home, hoping I could recover as soon as possible.

I couldn’t say no, so I grabbed my car keys and headed to the restaurant,

Just as I reached the entrance, I received a text from Barbara Confirmed, Bonnin will return to Rosemont College the day after tomorrow. She’s a tough cookie, I kinda admire her!]

I replied: [Okay, got it

On reaching the private room Cathie booked, I found it full of people, including a pregnant Stella, Neil, Mitch and Cooper, along with some other folks i didnt recognize

“Rena?” Stella quickly stood up, pulling me out of the room, “What are you doing here? I knew Neil was coming so I didn’t tell you about it!”

*Cathie asked me to come” I replied, “Is this a party she organized?”

“No! Neil invited her for dinner, she brought along a few friends, then Neil invited Mitch and Cooper, and Mitch brought me ”

Stella looked confused, “Does Cathie like Neil? You can tell by the way she looks at him. Why did she invite you then? Did she do it on purpose?”

While we were chatting, the door opened again.

Cathie walked out, looking rather helpless, Trene, I didn’t really want you to come either. But since I stayed at your place last night, he said I should thank you, so I invited you for dinner. Is he trying to get back together with you?”

Stella widened her eyes, Dont talk nonsense!”

“Are you Stella” Cathie turned to Stella, quick on the uptake, 7 like the color of your lipstick. Can you still wear lipstick when you’re pregnant?”

After hearing this, Stella promptly started introducing her lipstick shade.

I found the two of them somewhat similai, both straightforward.

After talking about lipstick brands, Cathie shifted the topic back to Neil, “I think Bonnie called him, she’ll probably be here soon. I heard she has a heart condition, how can she still be running around?”

“She’s very resilient” I replied, I’m not going to stay for dinner, you guys enjoy. If my dad asks, just tell him I was here.

Stella nodded. “Yeah, you better not stay”

“Sure, I’m not interested in watching Neil dine with his ex-wife either Irene, you can go. Stella, let’s go back in.” Cathie said bluntly

I waved at Stella, then she followed Cathie back into the room.

I took the elevator down, planning to grab a quick bite somewhere and head home. Just as I reached the restaurant entrance, I saw Bonnie and Kate showing up

Bonnie wasn’t in a wheelchair today, with Kate supporting her closely

Seeing me, Bonnie stopped, a trace of resentment showing on her pale face

“Neil’s still waiting for us, let’s go Kate seemed to say it loud enough on purpose for me to hear.

Tignored them and walked straight past

Trene!” Bonnie called out to me. She wriggled free from Kate and stood in front of me. I need to talk to you is that okay?”

“No, it’s not okay. What’s there to talk about? I glared at her coldly, “Why don’t we talk about how you pushed me off the hospital bed? Or about your deliberate attempts to hurt me?”

Bonnie went even paler, staring at me. Trene, I didnt push you. You fell on your own!”

What a load of bull.

I extended my hand and pretended to playfully push her, but Kate suddenly rushed over and held her, angrily shouting at me, “Irene, have you gone mad? Don’t you know she has a heart condition? What if something happens to her?”

Bonnie looked scared out of her wits, her pupils trembling.

I twisted my wrist, “I didn’t push her. She just couldnt keep her balance, I was just trying to help her”
