Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 35 Angela Downplays The Money

Angela had to win! It was already past six when she finally set her books aside and prepared to head home from the library.

Before leaving through the school gate, Jessica grabbed her and took her to the on–campus dessert shop to buy the most exquisite piece of cake.

It was called “Fanny’s Special,” and if Fanny was having it, then Jessica had to have it too!

As Angela looked at the small cake in her hand, her clear eyes became slightly red.

After taking a deep breath, she earnestly said, “Jess, you have to give it your all. You must defeat Fanny in this speech competition!”

If Jessica triumphed over Fanny, she would be the one going abroad as an exchange student.

She could then pursue her love for her favorite language without any regrets and embark on a different path from her previous life.

When Angela arrived home, she looked around and found that no one else was there.

She casually placed the cake on the table, went into the kitchen, checked what ingredients were available, and considered cooking dinner for Donald and the others.

The door clicked open, and she turned around to see her grandmother, Emilia.

“Are you cooking?” Emilia craned her neck to look.

Angela smiled and nodded in response.

Emilia shifted her attention from the vegetables to Angela and asked, “Angela, do you have a boyfriend?”

“No, I’m still young. I’m not planning to date for now.”

Emelia pursed her lips and frowned. Just because you’re young, doesn’t mean there’s no demand. By the time you graduate from university, you’ll be in your twenties. If you wait until then to date, you’ll be an old spinster.

“Men prefer younger girls. Besides, what’s the use of reading so many books? You’re still going to get married and have children. You might as well find someone to marry early. Look at the Johnston Family’s daughter downstairs. She’s not as pretty as you, but she found a man who drives a Mercedes. Every holiday, they bring back loads of stuff. Their family is so proud.

“If you’re not dating anyone, I can help you find a boyfriend.”
