The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 25

The Gordon family had a tradition of gathering for a meal once a month. Cyrus felt annoyed, having forgotten about this occasion.

Nancy glanced at Cyrus, her heart tinged with disdain and a cold detachment.

His mind was elsewhere. No wonder he forgot.

Nancy replied softly, "Cyrus and I will be back soon, Wilma."

Despite Cyrus' change of heart, Nancy’s mother-in-law had always been good to her.

"Okay, dear. Be careful on your way back," Wilma's loving voice sounded as she hung up the phone.

Cyrus quickly grabbed the car keys, clearing his throat, "Nancy, let's head back for dinner."

Nancy nodded slightly, stepping outside.

Cyrus watched as Nancy walked away, pursing his lips. Well, he had tried to make amends. If she was willing to listen, great. If not, so be it. After all, he had never gone to such lengths for Hayley.

The drive back to Gordon Mansion was silent, with Nancy closing her eyes, refusing to communicate.

The Gordon Mansion, nestled on a hillside, offered breathtaking views. The sprawling estate covered thousands of square meters.

Cyrus took Nancy's hand as they walked in. Nancy wanted to pull away but restrained herself, fearing what Wilma might think of their strained relationship. It was best not to stir up trouble before leaving. It would only make their departure more difficult.

As soon as they entered the living room, Wilma, seated on the sofa, immediately smiled and waved, "Nancy, come here."

Nancy quickly withdrew her hand, walking over to her mother-in-law.

Wilma affectionately held Nancy's hand, examining her closely. "You've lost weight! Didn't I tell you not to diet? You never listen."

Nancy smiled. "I haven't been dieting. I had a bit of a fever a few days ago."

"Yes, you were feverish a few days ago," Wilma's face darkened as she turned to Cyrus, "Cyrus, what's this about? Is this how you take care of my daughter-in-law?"
