Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 189

I picked up the pace, practically dragging Jameson along with me.

“Are you in such a hurry?” Jameson thought I was itching to spend the night with him and asked with a

smirk.

I stayed silent.

“Hold it right there” Neil Whitmore barked coldly.

I ignored him and kept walking forward, but Jameson was puzzled. He glanced back at Neil, a youthful

arrogance on his face. “Who the hell do you think you’re yelling at?”

Just as I thought, if a woman wanted some excitement, she should go for younger men. They were

reckless and often cause headaches.

Neil’s attention wasn’t on Jameson. He took a step forward, blocking my path.

Feeling his shadow over me, I looked up at him, pushing down a flicker of panic

“Mr. Whitmore, can I help you?‘ I was all dolled up today, looking quite captivating

Perfect timing to run into him. I thought I might as well seize this opportunity to make Neil back off for

good.

“Let her go.” Neil’s gaze fell on Jameson’s hand. A surge of anger rose in his eyes. His voice was calm,

but danger was lurking underneath.

As a minor internet celebrity, Jameson was somewhat familiar with current affairs. It seemed he

recognized Neil, and his face showed a mix of doubt and defiance.

Regardless, he let go of me and even took a couple of steps back

What a wimp.

“What are you scared of? He’s my ex–husband. We’re divorced!” I couldnt help but snap at Jameson

“Sis, he’s like an investor in the company l’im signed with” Jameson deflated completely. He even

bowed to Neil, I’ll just skedaddle then!”

Left alone in the long hallway, Neil and I just stared at each other.

“Happy now that you’ve ruined my night?” I asked with a poker face, casually ripping off my fake lashes

and contacts and tossing them into the trash

next to me.

“Do you even know what you’re doing?” Neil’s handsome face was filled with anger. “What do you think

you are, a slut who picks up men left and right?”

Hearing his description of me, I couldn’t help but chuckle, ‘Neil, who are you to lecture me? First, I’m an

adult. Second, I’m single. So, it’s perfectly normal for me to date men, Get that straight”

Since I apparently didn’t have any prospects of being a good wife and mother, was it wrong to let loose

a little?

I admit I was somewhat shaken by what Russel Dawson’s mother said, and I might be feeling a bit

self–destructive.

But I had needs too. I couldn’t just wait till I was in my fifties or sixties to start living my life, could i

“We’re different. I’m a man, you’re a woman” Neil seemed irritated by my nonchalant attitude. He

suddenly grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards a room at the end of the hallway

After opening the door, he yanked me into the room and slammed the door shut.

“Equal rights! As long as we use protection, there’s no difference” I was filled with resentment thinking

about my own situation.

I could never be a mother again, but Neil could simply snap his fingers, and a bunch of women would

be willing to marry him and bear his children. Why should I be the one to suffer?

So, I said that on purpose, to make him feel uncomfortable and agitated.

“Do your parents know you’re like this?” Neil whipped out his phone, threatening to call my parents.

I could handle everything else, but not him using my parents to threaten me

I stepped forward, grabbing his hand to stop his shameless act. “Neil, don’t you dare cross the line!”

“Am I crossing the line, or are you? Neils face was stone cold. ‘Did you divorce me just to lead this so–

called “free life?”

“Yes! Is there a problem with that?” I was livid. Alter releasing Neil’s hand, I admitted, “We’re not little

kids anymore. Can you stop threatening to tattle on me to my parents?”

I was already in a bad mood.

Tjust wanted to explore a different lifestyle without bothering anyone,

Neil put down his phone. He moved a little closer to me, and his aura suddenly became more

aggressive. He bent down slightly, a different glint in his eyes, “After we divorced, you never found

another man?”

“Heh.” I let out a cold laugh, then cautiously took a couple of steps back.

“Your boyfriend overseas is fake. Sean is Alicia Riders blind date, right?” Neil laughed, seemingly in a

good mood, ‘Even though we’re divorced, finding out these things still makes me happy”

I kept quiet. There was no point in explaining the things he had already found out.

“If you were planning to hook up with that kid tonight just because you’re lonely, why not consider me?”

Nell seized my silence as an opportunity to put himself forward, 1 should be a better fit for you!

“No way!” rejected him without a second thought.

“Who says divorced men and women can’t sleep together? Irene Finch, shall we give it a try?” Neil

looked me up and down, his gaze finally resting on my

chest.

I was wearing a deep V–neck Bonnie dress, which I had specifically chosen to increase my chances of

hooking up. Now, it seemed to have increased Neil’s desires instead.

I headed straight for the door, ready to leave.

I heard from Stella Wallace that Neil hadn’t touched a woman in years. I didn’t know whether to believe

her, but when he pulled me back into his arms, I started to think it might be true.

He wasn’t drugged today, but his passion was no less intense than last night. I was genuinely scared

and tried hard to break free from his grip, warning him, “Neil, if you force yourself on me, that’s raper

“Who asked you to come here and hook up with other men?” Neil was furious about this. He held me

by the waist, his voice low, “So it’s okay with other men but not with me? I’m not worse than that kid,

am I?

It was hot, and our clothes were thin. I could even feel the hardness of Neil’s abs.

I had gained a bit of weight but not an ounce of strength. Once Neil had me in his grip, I had no chance

of escaping

Suddenly, I steeled myself, raising my knee to kick Neil where it hurts the most!

“Holy shit!” Neil reacted incredibly fast, swiftly holding down my knee with one hand, his eyes flashing

dangerously, “You trying to end my bloodline or something?”
