Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 36
After taking a shower, I started my skincare routine, and that’s when Neil decided to walked in.
I found it strange. Why did he start visiting my room more frequently after my reincarnation?
“Why don’t you want me to attend Barbara’s engagement party?” Neil asked, standing beside my vanity table, his tone relatively
mild. He casually leaned against the table, his long legs in black trousers towering over the tabletop.
“I didn’t say I didn’t want you to. You’re being oversensitive,” I replied, feeling helpless.
“Is it because Russel is also going?” Neil lowered his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. This expression usually indicated that
he was in a bad mood.
I felt a headache coming on. What was he talking about? What did Russel going have to do with me?
“No. What are you trying to say? Just spit it out. We’ve never needed to beat around the bush.” I gently circled my fingers on the
face mask, then took out a massager and started massaging.
“I’ve told you before, we can each have our own lovers, but you can’t target the people around me. Did you forget so quickly?”
Neil’s aura suddenly turned cold, and his voice followed suit.
I was speechless and confused, “Who said Russel is my target?”
Neil silently looked at me. I took a guess, “Was it Mitch?”
What happened last time at Wellness Oasis, that big mouth Mitch must have told Neil. Plus, the fact that I asked Russel to buy
personal items for me in the past, it was bound to make Neil suspicious.
He was a cun ning man. Any abnormality could trigger his alertness. Despite his young age, he was as good as, if not better
than, the seasoned foxes in the business world when it came to schemes.
Aside from knowing each other’s names and appearances, Russel and I really didn’t have any connection.
“Explain,” Neil stood upright, hands casually in his pockets, looking down at me.
“Explain what? I’m not close with him,” I didn’t want to explain.
“If you’re not close, why does he suddenly have your contact?” Neil was very dissatisfied with my perfunctory attitude, and a hint
of anger appeared on his handsome face, “Irene, don’t push my buttons!”
Taken aback by his anger, I shot him a glare, “Neil, are you here to pick a fight with me? I’m telling you, Russel contacted me
first. Why don’t you ask him why he has my number?”
The photo of me and Oscar was sent to me by Russel. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have his contact at all. I had asked him for his
contact before, but he didn’t give it to me.
Neil didn’t say much, he picked up his phone and was about to call Russel.
But I thought th
was inappropriate. Russel was also unpredictable. What if he sent the photo of me and Oscar to Neil under questioning?

should I explain Oscar’s identity to Neil? He probably already knew who Bonnie’s boyfriend was. All he had to do was look at the
photo and he would find out that I knew Bonnie’s boyfriend.
I didn’t want to lose my advantage so soon. I wanted to tell him about it when his relationship with Bonnie had deepened.
“Neil!” I called out, then took off my mask, stood up and tried to sn atch his phone away, “How could you do this? If I had
something indecent with Russel, how could I still have a
elationship with you?!”
Neil seemed speechless at my response. He raised his hand and held the phone high where I couldn’t reach. He replied coldly,
“Who says a woman can’t have a relationship with two men? What happened when I was on a business trip, how would I know?”

to retort, the call went through. Russel’s voice came through, “Hello?”
I was so anxious that

My eyes started to well up, feeling a great sense of defeat.
I answered the call, but his eyes were fixed on me. When he saw that I was crying, he paused, then said to Russel, “Nothing,
wrong number.”
Seeing Neil hang up the phone, I let out a sigh of relief, then crawled into bed and didn’t want to deal with Neil anymore.
Neil didn’t say anything. I heard his footsteps heading towards the bathroom. Soon, I heard the sound of water.
He wouldn’t really want to sleep here, would he? I was anxious. Honestly, I didn’t want to share a bed with Neil because I didn’t
want to get entangled with him and I was afraid my will would be broken.
He had a great body, a handsome face, and was very charming.
I had been infatuated with him for ten years. After reliving my life, I became a lot clearer, but that was based on Neil coldly
abandoning me like in my past life.
I knew the weakness of human nature. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist.
After a while, what I feared happened, Neil really laid down next to me.
“Neil, are you asleep?” I initiated the conversation.
“No, what’s up” Neil asked calmly.
“I want to talk to you.” I turned over. Neil was lying flat, one hand under his head, eyes closed. I looked at his near-perfect side
profile. Although my heart still pounded for him, my rationality told me to restrain myself.
Neil made a sound, waiting for me to continue.
I thought for a moment, then asked him, “Are you pursuing a young girl recently?”

He opened his eyes, slightly turned his head to look at me, his eyes deep. “What do you want to say?”
I
“Nothing, I just heard your chat with Russel at the coffee shop that time, and knew about it, so I wanted to ask you, are you
sincere about this girl? Is she different from the women you’ve been with before?” I asked curiously. I was calm inside.
“Yes” The simpler Neil’s answer, the more sincere it was.
I paused, seeing the tenderness flash in his eyes. Was it because he remembered Bonnie?

“But she already has a boyfriend night?” I further inquired
Neil’s expression immediately turned unpleasant. He sneered “As long as they break up, she won’t have a boyfriend, right?”
In my heart, I reckoned Neil’s behavior seriously needed some improvements, and I felt sorry for Oscar. I wondered if there’s

“Uh huh, you’ve got a point. Best of luck to you” I replied a tad awkwardly, then turned around and went to sleep, mulling over
whether it should hit to Oscar tungt be a golden opportunity for me.
If things between Neil and Bonnie got more serious, then it’s only fair that my relationship with Oscar stepped up a notch too.
That seemed like the far play to
