A Love Rekindled

Chapter 51

Bruce sneered. "You've reached your goal.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

I nervously clenched my fists, forcing myself to stay calm. However, I realized that Bruce was referring to our floor when I looked up at him. I breathed a sigh of relief and forced a fake smile. "Sweet dreams, Mr. Harold."

Bruce didn't respond but he didn’t look as hostile as before.

I leaned against the wall, taking some time to regain my composure before immediately calling Caroline.

"They're not withdrawing their investment?" Caroline exclaimed. "These past two days have been a rollercoaster of emotions."

I rubbed my temples. "Cindy's words are more effective than ours, after all."

Caroline sighed on the other end of the line. I knew what she meant—Cindy’s favor wasn't easily earned.

As expected, three days after the crisis was resolved, Cindy came looking for me.

She had a caring demeanor, taking her time to beat around the bush before finally getting to the point. "Nance, I've thoroughly studied Mrs. Harold's preferences. Do you think I can find a chance to put it into practice?"

So, she wanted me to create an opportunity for her and Kate.

I recalled the last time Kate invited me to her home for dinner and said, "In that case, let's go to the supermarket later. You can buy some gifts there Let's head to Mons Villa after work.”

Cindy blinked in surprise. "Are you sure, Nance? Won't it be too abrupt?”

Cindy suggested that I call Kate in advance. But it was more like she wanted me to sound her out.

After considering it, I figured it wouldn't hurt to repay a favor, so I did as she suggested.

On the phone, Kate sounded quite pleased. But as soon as Cindy was mentioned, her tone shifted. "No, she's an eyesore.”

I tried to mediate the situation. "Aunt Kate, it's nice to have a good family bond. You should do it for Mr. Harold. Besides, Ms. Lane cares about you. It's rare to have such filial piety."

Kate finally relented. So, after work, Cindy and I arrived at Mons Villa together.

Cindy was just as amazed as I was seeing the extravagant villa. We both stood gutside gawking mindlessly at it. When Kate came out to greet us, Ciney was still staring at the? majestic entrance. Content:belongs to“ -

I hurriedly probed her, "Ms. Lane.” Only then did Cindy regain her composure to greet Kate. "Nice to meet you, Aunt Kate. It's my first time here, so I bought a gift. I hope you like it." Kate looked at the bird's nest in Cindy's hand with a displeased look.

After entering the house, Kate immediately gave Cindy a hard time. "The cook had to leave for an emergency. I'm afraid we won't be able to have dinner."

In other words, there was no one to cook tonight.

I took a sip of tea and shot Cindy a look, who immediately caught on and volunteered. "I cook regularly, Aunt Kate. I can prepare dinner tonight if you don’t mind it.”

Kate gave her a meaningful look. “You can cook?" Cindy glanced at me and nodded. "I have a few dishes up my sleeves.” Kate pulled out her seniority card and hummed thoughtfully. "Then, I'll leave it to you, Ms. Lane.”

Cindy obediently went into the kitchen. Kate also kept herself busy, leading me to the backyard to see the bougainvillea

It wasn't just one plant but a forest. of them. They were lush and vibraft and looked even more beautiful than those ‘sold at the flower show It was obvious they were well taken care of.

Among the vibrant red flowers, a white bougainvillea caught my eye. It resembled the plant I used to have in the apartment. Bruce used to say the plant was a waste of time.

"Are you looking at the white flower in the middle?" Kate grinned. "The gardener said Bruce was the one who brought it back. Maybe it adds to the aesthetic."

It was probably just a coincidence.
