Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 347

“I’ve given you plenty of chances. Have you forgotten all of them?” I couldn’t help but retort.

“I didn’t understand myself back then. Can you stop judging me now based on my past?” Neil seemed

even more helpless as I said that. He knew that he couldn’t change the past. And he knew how

excessive his past behavior was.

I remained silent and just continued to drive.

Upon arriving at the hospital, I accompanied Neil to treat his wounds and then drove him back to

Sterling Estates.

Knowing that Neil’s mother was also there, I planned to just drop Neil off at the entrance and let him

walk in himself. But he just sat in the passenger seat, not moving a bit.

“I couldn’t walk because you hurt me,” Neil turned his head and looked at me as if it were a matter of

course.

I was confused. When did he get hurt because of me? I didn’t ask him to drink, nor did I hire someone

to beat him.

Seeing my confused face, Neil continued, “How could I end up like this if you hadn’t ignored me for the

past two months?”

I found that Neil’s defenses were getting more and more sophisticated. It was clearly him who did the

wrong thing first. I was just angry, but it ended up being me who ignored him.

“Fine, it’s my fault. I’ll pay for your medical expenses. Now please get out of my car.” I said with a cold

and impatient tone.

“Just drive me in. Your car can go in.” Neil didn’t move, ignoring what I said.

I was getting a bit angry. It was already late, and I wanted to go home and rest. I had work the next day.

Just as we were at a stalemate, someone suddenly knocked on my car window. I turned around and

saw it was Neil’s mother. Her face was almost pressed against the car window.

I had to roll down the window. Neil’s mother looked at me and her face lit up with surprise. Then she

looked at Neil in the passenger seat and couldn’t help but smile with joy.

“Irene, it really is you! I thought the car looked familiar, so I came over to check.” Neil’s mother said with

a smile on her face.

I was a bit flustered. Neil’s mother was very enthusiastic and joyful. It seemed like she misunderstood

something. Could she not see the wound on her son’s head?

“Faith, Neil got a bit hurt, so I drove him back,” I awkwardly replied.

“That’s good, that’s good. He got hurt. Come in and sit for a while.” Neil’s mother seemed to not care

about her son’s injury. She even praised it.

I glanced at Neil. His face didn’t look too good.

It was already late. I didn’t know why Neil’s mother was still outside, but I planned to go home and rest.

I politely declined, “Faith, it’s already late. I’ll come back next time.”

“Acting now is always better than waiting. You brought my son back today. I have to invite you in to

show my gratitude, Don’t say anything. I’ll just go with you.” Faith didn’t wait for me to reply. She just

opened the back door and sat down, smiling at me.

I felt helpless, but I couldn’t ask Faith to get out of the car.

Neil was resting with his eyes closed. He had no intention of helping me speak. This mother-son duo

was really something. Their personalities changed so similarly. The Faith from before would never be

so direct; she was originally a very reserved lady. Since I didn’t know what to say, I just had to drive

them home.

When we arrived at the villa, I said to

Car and followed them in.

Faith poured me a glass of juice. Her attitude towards me getting closer and closer, which made me

feel a bit flustered. Out of so many women in the world, she just decided that I was her daughter-in-law.

That feeling was somewhat complicated.

“Irene, you guys chat for a bit. I’m going to take a bath. I just went for a walk with my friends, and it was

so hot, I’m all sweaty.” Faith stood up after a brief period of sitting, and smiled at me.

“Faith, I’ve finished my juice. I’m going home now,” I immediately stood up and

spoke.

Faith said unhappily, “No problem. Sit for a while longer. Look, it’s already so late. Just stay here

tonight. We have plenty of rooms!” Even if there were more rooms, I couldn’t stay there. My heart

hadn’t completely calmed down yet, and I had promised my mother to keep a distance from Neil. If I

didn’t go home tonight, she would have definitely suspected something.

Before could refuse, Faith had already quickly gone upstairs, as if she was afraid that I would say

more.

Looking at her hurriedly leaving figure, I turned my gaze back and looked at Neil.

“Don’t blame me for this. My mom now thinks that you are the only suitable candidate for her daughter-

in-law. These days, I always hear her nagging about this, and it annoys me. Sometimes I even dare not

come back,” Neil shrugged, elegantly sipping his juice. The wound on his head did not affect his charm

at all.

“Is it because she feels guilty about hiding the thing about Karina Aaron from me in the past?” I asked.

Neil pondered, “That might be part of the reason, but it’s not the main reason.” Neil thought seriously

for a moment, then explained to me, “The main reason is that she likes you. She saw how good you

were to me in the past, and she feels that she won’t find anyone else who really cares for me like you

do.”

I was speechless.

Faith was also good to me in my past life, but she wasn’t as determined as in this life. It felt like she

was almost considering me as the only candidate for her daughter-in-law, setting aside her dignity and

trying her best to get me to turn around.

I say from the bottom of my heart that Faith had always been kind to me. If it weren’t for the problems

between Neil and me, I would have definitely been happy to live with them.

“By the way, how is your cooperation with FarHorizon Group going recently?” Neil suddenly changed

the topic and asked me seriously.

“There are indeed many problems with them. There are many loopholes in their financial situation. I’m

currently gathering relevant evidence.” I also became serious and discussed the issue in depth with

Neil.

In the past couple of months, we hadn’t touched base. We were both caught up in our own stuff.

But once we started yakking about all that, we got very much into it with zero personal feelings getting

in the way. We dove deep into our discussion, getting a clearer grip on the situation at hand.

“The documents are likely with Gloria. Ethan Foster’s feelings for her are legit.” Neil filled me in.

“Why not straight up destroy the documents?” I was left scratching my head.

“They might be gradually getting rid of them. After all, they got to tie up all loose ends before they can

totally trash them.” Neil replied.
