A Love Rekindled

Chapter 37

Cindy left with an impassive expression on her face. Caroline immediately grabbed me and complained, "Why do I feel like I just got challenged by my subordinate?"

I comforted her. "That's normal.”

Two days ago, Caroline had criticized Cindy in front of Bruce, and Cindy had probably taken it to heart

She was getting conceited.

Caroline sighed and said, "It's always different when someone is willing to indulge you."

"Are you envious?"

Caroline shook her head and said disdainfully, "When there was someone who catered to my every whim, there wasn't anything that I..." She stopped suddenly. She must have thought of an unpleasant memory.

I was a little worried, so I asked a bold question. "Would you forgive your asshole ex-husband if he came back to look for you?" "Ha." Caroline scoffed. "Why would I? There are plenty of compliant, young, and handsome men begging for my attention.” She was acting tough, but I did not expose her.

The next day, we set off to Horton Estate in a rented seven-seater vehicle

When we arrived, I finally began to understand why everyone was sucking up to Cindy.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

It was an Aorlian-style estate that took up 70 or 80 acres of land. I felt like I was walking into a fairytale world.

Every blade of grass, every tree, even every door seemed to exude luxury.

The soft carpet sank beneath my feet. and there was a giant chandelier above my head. The patterns of the furniture were utterly unique and would never be seen anywhere else on the market.

The staff said politely, "Mr. Harold has arranged accommodation for everyone. Please follow me.”

There were even people competing to take our luggage.

Caroline said curiously, "Has Mr. Harold arrived?”

"Yes, Mr. Harold is currently resting with his partner. He says that the events will start after lunch.”

There were three parts to our trip at the estate. We would cycle around the lake, have an evening party, and pick organic produce tomorrow. Bruce had even delayed the cycling for Cindy.

I looked around the tastefully furnished lobby, but suddenly felt my defenses come crashing down

Incongruously, I thought of the first time I had gone on a trip with Bruce

It had happened not long after he held my hand for the first time.

I suggested going on a trip, and he had agreed.

In order to make sure that he was satisfied withthe trip, I secretly wrote codeYor companies outside ._ of schoat T'researched the trip and made an itinerary, booked the hotel, and atranged everything so that it would be perfect. However, Bruce changed his mind at the last minute and decided not to go. swnovel.ne

He said that it was a waste of time. The hotel refused to give me a refund, which meant that I lost over 1000 in hotel fees.

I had earned that money by working hard round the clock for half a month.

At the times had innocently thought that Bruce was self-disciplined and restrained, and that people who” weredestined for great things \ were

all like that.

The hidden wound in my heart seemed to burst open into a bloody mess once again

It was only today that I realized that Bruce hadn't been lying. It was just that he hadn't felt that I was worth spending time on. After lunch, we gathered together and prepared to cycle around the lake.

The one who got first place would get a spa package as a prize.

Caroline and I were eager to try, but then we heard Cindy say beside us, "I won't be able to complete one whole round. How about I wait here for you?"

The staff said very thoughtfully, "We also have tandem bikes here. If two of you ride one bike, you'll save more strength.” Cindy blinked her large eyes and looked at Bruce. He paused and said, "Okay." Therefore, among our bicycles, there was one tandem bicycle that stood out like a sore thumb.

The weather was perfect, and it was a bright and sunny day. We all pedaled furiously so as not to disturb the couple behind us.

When we hadvddden halfway through thetoute, I started to lose steam. I saw Caroline wave at me-> from theeurve, so I clenched mys teeth and forced myself to catéh up. However, the moment I looked up, realized that I was ona steep slope.

Before I could react, I fell down hard onto the ground

My entire body was enveloped in pain, and I tried hard to suppress it although I was secretly terrified What would my aunt and the others do if I died here?

I panicked at once, and tears began falling down my cheeks like broken strings of pearls

"Don't be scared, Nance! I'll get help right away!" Caroline yelled in a panic.
