Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 32

"Ma'am, dinner's ready." Ada murmured to me after Neil left.

I nodded and got up to head to the dining room.

After dinner, I took a bath and went straight to bed, not wanting to do anything else. Since I had to accompany Barbara to pick out gowns tomorrow, I needed to rest well.

Just then, Faith sent me a message, listing names of two or three dozen traditional herbs.

She said, "Irene, please send someone to buy these herbs according to the list, then boil them into a soup with hot water. Have Neil take it twice a day for half a month."

I was suddenly wide awake, "What's this for?"

Faith replied, "It's to boost a man's virility. I think there must be something wrong with Neil. If we don't treat this early, how long will we have to wait to see our grandchildren?"

I was about to refuse outright, since there was nothing wrong with Neil's health and he wouldn't listen to me anyway.

But I hesitated for a moment and finally agreed, "Alright, but I'm not sure if he will agree to take it."

Faith sent me a big ok gif, and said, "Don't worry, you just need to prepare these herbs. Leave the rest to me."

The next day, I sent Ada to buy the herbs. Looking at the long list of mysterious names, she asked me in surprise, "Ma'am, are you feeling unwell?"

I shook my head with a smile, "This is for Neil, Faith wants to have a grandchild soon."

I didn't hide anything from Ada. That way, when she saw Neil and Bonnie together in the future, she would remember me, the wronged wife.

"Ma'am, I have a relative who specializes in herbal medicine. He knows a special formula. Shall I ask him for you?" Ada kindly suggested.

"Really? That would be great." I pretended to be surprised, "If it really works, I'll give you a raise."

"You're too kind, ma'am. I'll ask him today." Ada was a bit embarrassed.

I responded, "Alright. I have something to do today, so I might not be back for lunch."

After that, I left. I arrived at the bridal shop that Barbara had mentioned promptly at eight.

Barbara was already there waiting for me. Seeing me, she waved, "Rena, come over here!"

Once inside the bridal shop, the saleslady served us warm water and prepared some snacks. The bridal shop wasn't big, and the prices for the wedding gowns were very reasonable. Given Barbara's status, she should have chosen a high-end bridal shop to customize her wedding gown.

However, she told me that Norman couldn't afford such expensive gowns and didn't want to rely on her, so she decided to choose a moderately priced bridal shop.

"Ms. Sands, please come try on the gowns." The saleslady said to Barbara.

Barbara got up to go to the fitting room, while I walked around the shop. Looking at those beautiful wedding gowns, I felt a bit bitter.

The wedding gown is significant to a woman, yet when I was choosing mine, I was belittled by Neil.

Just as I was reminiscing about these painful memories, the door to the bridal shop opened. Bonnie and two other girls walked in. They were chatting happily, their voices cheerful and crisp.

"Irene?" Seeing me, Bonnie's eyes widened in surprise, "What a coincidence! What brings you here?"

At that moment, Barbara came out of the fitting room and asked me, "Rena, how's this one?"

She was wearing a dark red embroidered gown. It was very elegant, dignified and beautiful, but the color was a bit too dark. I thought for a moment, "Do you have anything a bit brighter? This one makes you look a bit old."

The saleslady quickly responded, "We do. Ms. Sands, you can come with me to see other styles."
