A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 69

Looking at the time, I said, "Douglas, can I pick you up tomorrow at seven?"

Douglas looked shocked before chuckling. "Sure. Let's do it your way."

I felt uncomfortable at having to keep troubling him. And since I'd bought a new car, it was only right that I picked him up.

However, Douglas' tone seemed a bit off.

After leaving the hostel, I called Caroline.

However, I heard her heaving on the other end of the line. "What happened, Nance?"

I knew it was bad timing for me to call. But I could only force myself to say, "I need an absolutely stunning dress."

Caroline raised her voice. "Oh my… Who is it?"

I honestly replied, "Mr. Irvin. I'll also attend the party tomorrow."

Caroline happily shouted, "Nice! Let me take care of this…"

Suddenly, I heard a weird noise from the other end of the line.

Then, I paused for a second before ending the call.

Perhaps this was why people said women were more sexually frustrated after 30 years old.

…

Caroline only came to the office that afternoon.

Plus, she looked flushed and radiant.

I stared at her and teased, "How was your sleep yesterday?"

Caroline looked at me and blushed before saying in a high-pitched voice, "Shut up. You should ask how my night went."

It was obvious that she was suggesting something.

Then, Caroline rolled her eyes at me. "You can't keep being single. Do you know that our ovaries will start to age after we turn 30? You should find some fun before that and enjoy the beauty of love-making, okay?"

I blushed.

"Don't be so indifferent all the time. It's been so long. You should really try something new."

When she said this, certain vivid images uncontrollably popped up in my mind, and my face flushed even redder.
