A Love Rekindled

Chapter 88

Cindy said that it was their three-month anniversary, I pondered on that piece of information, and it made me think about Bruce's desirous gaze from last night. Suddenly, it felt like I had bitten into a green olive, and I could feel its bitter taste on my palate

Bruce was a cold and serious man. What's more, he was also often occupied. Hence, anniversaries were insignificant to him, and I didn’t think that he would remember them.

However, he had kept his anniversary with Cindy in mind. And not only that, he was attentive enough to make a reservation for a private room for their celebration.

This was something that I had never experienced within the past six years of interacting with him. This was a day that they deserved to celebrate in private, yet Cindy chose to extend the invitation to me on this particular day. "Would that be appropriate?" I asked.

However, I also thought about Anika’s future and tried my best to suppress the discomfort in me and continued, "It might infuriate Mr. Harold. And if so, we would be in great trouble."

I had already wronged him once last night. I couldn't afford to cause trouble again now.

Cindy immediately answered, "Not at all, Nance. It's going to be a ‘coincidence’ anyway. Moreover, it's going to be an important day. I'm sure that Bruce would agree to whatever I suggest.”

She sounded confident. I knew that her confidence developed after she had spent so much time with Bruce. I clenched my fists and said, “You're too kind, Ms. Lane."

"No worries, Nance." Cindy's eyes sparkled and she smiled, saying, "I can see that everyone has been anxious over this matter. To be honest, I feel bad about it too. After all, the issue happened because of me. I don't want things to get awkward between everyone."

She had a sincere expression on her face when she said that. But she looked so sincere that it made me doubt her sincerity. "Also, don't you want to help to alleviate some of the tension between Bruce and Mr. Irvin?" I didn't respond immediately. So, Cindy stared at me with an expectant gaze.

Then, she continued in a low voice, "I feel as if... there's some misunderstanding between the both of them. And if there is, wouldn't it be better for them to talk it out?"

Cindy's reasoning was sound. But, for whatever reason, I felt a little conflicted.

With that said, I also understood that she was coming from a place of good intentions. So, I asked matter-of-factly, "Are you confident that you're able to convince Mr. Harold?"

Cindy smijéd and answeredina ~~ determined voice, "You should know this toe, Nance. Bruce isn'ta <> calculative person. Right now) ‘he's simply reacting out of anger.

‘But tonights our three-month anniversary, so he'll definitely ask me what I'd like him to give to me. Then: I can suggest a reconatiiation. There’ $ no way that he'd reject me.”

That was true.

Cindy was the apple of Bruce's eye, and he always obeyed her. How could he bear to reject her?

And if Cindy didn't mind it, then why would I shy away from such an opportunity?

After all, things would get tricky once we took the legal route, so I needed to be more rational.

It was as if Cindy had read my mind because she probed, "What do you think about this idea, Nance?" "It's not bad,” I replied

I didn't truly think so though

‘Oh, right. The recording pen." Cindy. opened her backpack and handed> the recording pen to me. "Everything happened so suddenly yesterday. I forgot to return it to you. ‘ Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org ~

I looked at Cindy and hesitated

Then, she cautiously explained herself, "Don't worry, Nance. I didn’t listen to any of the recordings on it."

Upon hearing her explanation, all my worry dissipated.

That made sense.

Based on her temperament, I didn't think that she would be so willing to reconcile with us if she had indeed listened to the recording Hence, I nodded. "Alright then. Let's go ahead with your suggestion.”

This was all for the sake of Anika's future, so I was fine if I had to eat my slice of humble pie.

After all, a harmonious situation would be a rare chance to come by.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

But when I relayed this to Caroline, she pouted and retorted, "Cindy's a young woman, yet she seems quite malicious.”

She felt that Cindy had a more deliberate plan going on.
