A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 75

Just as I was about to explain, I heard Bruce asking another question, "What's the deal with the admission letter?"

I finally understood what was happening.

The stuff he'd said earlier was just to lead up to this. This was the question he wanted to ask the most.

I casually replied, "As you heard, I gave up because I didn't want to go." I gripped my car key nervously as I said so.

At that moment, what flashed through my mind was the scene of me handing over my hard-earned one hundred thousand to the study abroad agency.

Two years ago, studying abroad wasn't as difficult as it was now. However, one had to meet the requirement of paying a deposit.

It was a critical part of the application process, and as a student, I could only afford to pay that much.

However, the agent told me that only one person could study abroad with that amount.

At that time, I thought it was okay for me to not go. After all, with my abilities, it wouldn't make much of a difference to enroll a few years later.

What's more, Bruce needed that opportunity more than me.

So, I hid the fact that I was accepted into the course. And then, I handed over my entire savings—the only one hundred thousand I had—to Bruce.

"Why did you hide it from me?" Bruce's assertive voice snapped me back to reality.

I forced a smile and replied, "It was my own choice to give up studying abroad. You don't need to hold a grudge over it. If you really feel bad about it, just consider it as if I've opened a fixed-term deposit with you. You can give me the interest when you return the money."

"Nancy!"

Bruce's sudden roar startled me, and I looked up to see him staring grimly and in disbelief at me.

His eyes surged with emotions, and he gave off a dangerous air.

Suddenly, I thought it was irrational for me to bring up the money.

Then, I adopted a sincere tone, as if I were dealing with an investor. "I'm sorry. I…" I began.
