A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 60

I wasn't surprised to see Cindy again. But I didn't expect Bruce and Kate to be with her too.

I also remembered that Bruce wasn't fond of shopping. So, much less could be said of helping the two women with their shopping bags.

Hence, seeing Bruce with them took me aback, yet it was still within my expectations at the same time.

Since I'd seen them now, I couldn't avoid greeting them. Although I wasn't particularly happy about it.

Kate glanced at Douglas and Jackson beside me and gasped knowingly. "So, Douglas was the one who you had plans with." She sounded displeased.

That was when I remembered her invitation over the phone last night.

She must have misunderstood.

However, before I could explain, Cindy's sweet voice chimed in, saying, "Look, Aunt Kate. Nance looks even more elegant in this new coat."

With just a few words, she effortlessly shifted everyone's attention to me.

I was about to explain myself when Bruce suddenly said, "Do you like it?"

He was asking for Cindy's opinion.

Cindy glanced at me before turning back to Bruce. "I just think this vintage-style coat is charming. It's simple and comfortable. A rare coat indeed."

Bruce swept his gaze over me before focusing on Cindy again. Then, he gently said, "Then give it a try."

As soon as he spoke, the enthusiastic salesperson suddenly hesitated. "I'm sorry, sir. But this coat is our store's flagship product, and there's only one left."

Upon hearing this, Cindy lowered her gaze and whispered, "Then forget it, Bruce. I'm not that fond of it anyway."

How understanding.

Perhaps her kindness had touched Bruce's heart, because he stubbornly asked the salesperson, "Has it been paid for?"
