A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 91

Cindy happily put her hands together and said in a sincere tone, "Here is my first wish. I wish that Bruce will continue to stay by my side and that we can celebrate more anniversaries like this in the future."

Upon saying that, she lovingly looked at Bruce, waiting to see his response.

I was also curious to know how he would respond to such a straightforward confession like that.

But instead of reacting, Bruce simply asked, "What's your second wish?"

Cindy froze. Then, she cautiously stated, "If possible, I wish to make peace with Anika, Bruce."

I became alert at the mention of Anika's name.

Then, I looked up and happened to meet Bruce's eyes at that moment, his gaze as deep as the sea.

The lighting in this private room was dim. Yet, for some reason, we locked eyes, and it was as if we had chemistry.

At the same time, I sensed a hint of mockery and sarcasm in his gaze.

"Bruce." Cindy tugged at Bruce's arm.

Then, Bruce turned away from me as Cindy continued, "I know that you care for me. But, look, I'm the happiest woman in the world right now. Can we just let it go?"

Bruce leaned toward Cindy and looked at her. After a short pause, he answered, "I really can't say no to you." His voice was tender.

So, it looked like he had agreed to reconcile, just like what Cindy had assured me.

This was a positive outcome. But why didn't it make me feel happy?

Once again, I got to witness how important Cindy was to Bruce.

After the celebration, Douglas proposed a toast to Bruce and Cindy.

"Thank you for your generosity, Bruce and Ms. Lane," he said in a sincere tone. "Let Nancy and I propose a toast to the both of you."

Bruce stared at the glass that Douglas was handing over to him and smiled slightly.

He remarked, "This issue was because of Ms. Fisher's lack in educating her subordinate. How does it have anything to do with you, Mr. Irvin?"

Douglas was verbally criticized for no good reason.

But my guess was that Bruce was actually intending to come at me.

Hence, I lifted my glass with both my hands and politely said, "You're right, Mr. Harold. I'll take this drink on your behalf."
