A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 43

Kate made it seem as if she was wronged.

I pinched my brows and compromised, "Can we do it after work then?"

After all, she's the investor's mother.

After the call ended, Kate immediately sent me the shop's address. It was an old tailor shop with a rich history, and it was famous among the wealthy ladies in Joddesdon and Saza.

Before leaving for work, I drank a cup of coffee to keep myself awake. But I didn't expect for Bruce and Cindy to be there either.

When the shop assistant led me to Kate, I saw Cindy handing Kate a piece of beautifully patterned fabric. When Cindy saw me, she bit her lip unconsciously.

Bruce was even more blunt. "Why are you here?"

I didn't know how to respond to that.

Kate turned around at the sound and grinned. "I invited her. The two of you together still don't know my preferences as well as she does."

Cindy looked disappointed after hearing this and lowered her head while she gripped onto the fabric in her hand tightly.

I felt quite awkward.

Cindy had a good eye. Although the pattern of the fabric she chose was a bit outdated, the color still matched Kate's aesthetic.

Kate liked luxurious styles. So when she asked me for help, I deliberately picked out a plain one for her.

Kate was surprised by this. But to put Cindy down, she praised me nevertheless, "Look at how beautiful this is. Nance sure has got good taste."

Cindy didn't respond and buried her head even lower.

I had to ease the tension. "Aunt Kate, you have fair skin, so any style suits you. Although Ms. Lane's choice is a bit unusual, only someone with your complexion can pull it off well enough."

Only then did Kate reluctantly settle on a design.
