A Love Rekindled

Chapter 59

I instantly regretted meeting Jackson here, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

Then, as I walked down the escalator, I wasn't paying attention and missed a step.

Suddenly, I twisted my ankle, and a sharp pain shot up from my foot.

I furrowed my brows tightly as I bit back the pain and descended the escalator.

At that moment, Jackson called again, but the voice belonged to someone else.

"Yes, I'm at Entrance Three now. Could you please..." I began.

"Nancy?" A surprised voice came through the receiver, "It's me, Douglas.”

To my surprise, the person flustering around helping Jackson was Douglas.

A while after we finally met up, Jackson gratefully said to me, "He helped me... He's a great young man.”

Meanwhile, Douglas patiently listened, not minding Jackson's stutters.

He smiled gently. "You were great too, sir. But remember to check the floor numbers next time.

I explained to Jackson, "Douglas and I were classmates."

Jackson looked pleasantly surprised. "It’s... It's fate.”

Douglas told me that he was accompanying his cousin on a shopping trip and unexpectedly ran into Jackson in the parking lot. Apparently, Jackson had been stuck in the basement

Jackson glanced at me before turning to Douglas. "Nance, he... he helped me... Let's... treat him to some food.”

It was only natural to do so, so I immediately asked Douglas for his opinion.

Douglas laughed heartily. “Well, I am a bit hungry. I'll accept your offer then.”

Hence, we went to a nearby restaurant.

At the restaurant, Douglas was considerate and asked for Jackson's opinion about the food. He’d even ordered a cup of tea for him

Jackson wasn't a tea lover, but he held the cup and smiled at Douglas's kindness. At first, he was a bit awkward, but as Douglas chatted with him, he gradually relaxed

It was a kind of inferiority complex that someone with a lower status unconsciously showed when o encountering someone of a higher statug~But Douglas handled it~: gracefully, easing Jackson’ Se ~~ embarrassment with his actions.

I was quite moved by this.

Then, wherDouglas heard that we were going to buy new clothes for my aunt, # Tina, he happily joined: in." also want to buy a coat for my mottter. Nancy, you have to Help me pick one out later." Content:belongs to“ -

I nodded. "I hope you don't find my taste too old-fashioned, Mr. Irvin.” So, after the meal, the three of us went to the women's section.

Jackson then picked out a tender pink jacket for Tina. "Her skin is as fair as yours," he explained shyly, like a young man in love. "It will definitely look good on her.”

Tina was already 49 years old this year, but in Jackson's eyes, she would always be young and lovely.

My nose prickled. "Let's buy this then.”

"Don't you want to try it on, Nancy?" Douglas asked.

I had no intention of buying clothes, so I declined, saying. "You should pick one for Mrs. Irvin."

Douglas seemed to understand my thoughts and said hesitantly, "Her body shape is similar to yours. Could you please try it on for me?" Naturally, I wouldn't refuse to help.

Douglas had chosen an elegant light brown coat. The coat was soft and was made from an expensive fabric.

I sneakily glanced at the price tag and saw it was over ten thousand dollars.

It was fitting for someone of Douglas's status.

Then, as I came out of the fitting room, the salesperson enthusiastically approached us. => iss, your boyfriend has a goods~ eye. Icheven thought you were@ celesrity from how good yourtook I in this ‘ ~

But before I could explain myself, a familiar voice chimed in, "Look, Aunt Kate. Isn't that Nance and Mr. Irvin?"

I raised my gaze and immediately saw the trio across from us—Bruce, Cindy, and Kate.
