A Love Rekindled

Chapter 58

After listening to my explanation, Cindy happily called Bruce up

Through the glass door, her sweet and cheerful voice could be clearly heard. It was starkly different from her demeanor with me earlier. Meanwhile, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, as if I had narrowly escaped death.

Thankfully, nothing chaotic happened. Otherwise, it would've hindered my road to success.

As expected, when I sent the couple's chat updates to Bruce, he decisively transferred another twenty thousand dollars to me. Then, as the winter wind howled outside, I called up my uncle, Jackson.

"My salary came in. Come over tomorrow. I want to buy Aunt Tina some new clothes."

Jackson adored Tina. So naturally, he wouldn't refuse to buy her new clothes.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Hence, we arranged to meet at the mall.

Unfortunately, not long after, Kate called

"Nance, I'm out of skincare products. Do you have time to accompany me to the mall tomorrow?"

I told her the truth and said, "Sorry, Aunt Kate. I already have plans.”

Kate sighed in disappointment. "Fine. Maybe next time then.”

Then, she immediately hung up. She probably thought that I rejected her invite on purpose and was unhappy about it.

In the past, I would have been quick to comfort her. But it wouldn't be appropriate now.

The next morning, I arrived at the mall as agreed and strolled through the men's and children’s sections. Then, I chose a brown men's jacket and paid for it.

However, as I turned around, I saw Maeve and Cindy behind me.

Maeve's memory was good, and she greeted r nie with a smile. Meanwhile, Cindy. walked over and curiously” asked, "Are you picking out a coat for. Mr. Irvin, Nance?” Content ~~

I smiled but didn't say anything.

Just as I was about to leave, Maeve piped up and said, "Do you have children, Ms. Fisher?”

I was surprised.

When I turned to Maeve, I noticed that her sharp eyes were focused on the children’s clothing bag in my hand

“It's for my niece,” I murmured.

"Your heart is as beautiful as you look, Ms. Fisher," Maeve said.

But I didn't pay much attention to her. And since it was almost time to meet with Jackson, I exchanged a few pleasantries and left. Then, I overheard Maeve and Cindy's conversation.

“You're so beautiful, Cindy. Plus, Bruce is a talented young man. I'm sure your babies will be extraordinary..."

Cindy whined softly, "Stop it, Mom. We haven't reached that stage yet."

‘It's just a matter of time. I'm telling. you— you have to put in some effort and speed things up. Besides, men are known to have affairs. “Content =

Maeve was brave to be this blunt out in public.

After all, even a seemingly serious man like Bruce had needs.

Was Bruce only entertaining me because he couldn't bear the thought of hurting Cindy? Suddenly, I remembered about the power outage last night and smiled wryly.

Half an hour later, I anxiously called Jackson from the mall entrance. He couldn't find the place.

“Don't worry and stay where you are. I'll come find you." I sighed

There wagvan event at the mall, and, it had attracted a crowd, Not to .~ mention, Jackson was new around here and was bound to getvost.
