A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 63

I didn't know how Kate had concluded that the bag would suit me well. So, I lightly shook my head. "Aunt Kate, I can't possibly accept such an expensive gift."

Kate's expression froze, and she pursed her lips awkwardly.

After a while, she finally sighed. "Nance, are you planning to settle down in Joddesdon and Saza?"

"What do you mean, Aunt Kate?" I asked.

Kate picked up her coffee cup and sipped it. "I didn't recognize your uncle at the mall yesterday."

I suddenly understood what she meant, and in that instant, my heart dropped.

Perhaps it was because we had been getting along relatively well recently that I almost forgot that we were never on the same side.

"Nance, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to say that since we're all residents here, if I can help in any way…"

"Mrs. Harold," I coldly interrupted Kate, "I'm sorry, but I have to go back to work."

Kate would never understand that even though we were poor, we didn't need her cheap pity.

I then went around the building a few times before finally returning to the company.

But unfortunately, I bumped into Bruce at the lift.

Bruce's brows were tightly furrowed, and his jawline was tense, giving him a strong air.

But this could only mean that he was in a bad mood.

Looking at the time, I guessed that he was here to pick Cindy up from work. But I couldn't tell which button would push Bruce over the edge.

This mother-and-son duo really knew how to make trouble for others.

Nevertheless, I forced myself to say hello to him.

However, Bruce merely hummed indifferently without even glancing at me. It was clear that he didn't want to converse with me.
