A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel 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.

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.
