Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 41 Capture His Attention

“If it weren’t for Herbert’s upcoming university entrance exam, I would have invited him to join us for a meal.” Xavier looked at his grown–up sister and thought of his youngest brother, suddenly feeling a sense of pride as if her daughter was all grown up.

Aurelia sat down. “In a month, once his university entrance exams are over, let’s all go on a family trip. I’ve recently made some money restoring antique paintings, so I’ll cover the expenses for this family vacation.”

“You learned to restore antique paintings from Hannah, didn’t you?” Xavier wasn’t surprised. When they were in the countryside, many people in the village said that Aurelia spent every day at Hannah’s house reading books. They didn’t even know if she could understand what was written in the books.

He had visited Hannah’s house and had seen her occasionally fiddling with some broken porcelain pieces.

By the time he returned, those fragments of broken porcelain had been skillfully restored into various antique vases. Moreover, Hannah’s painting skills were extraordinary. Despite leaving the countryside early for high school and university, Xavier could tell Hannah was far from an ordinary rural elder.

However, for reasons unknown, he never asked Aurelia what she had learned from Hannah.

No one in the village had ever asked.

Perhaps there was an inherent authority about Hannah, and if she didn’t want to discuss something, not one dared to ask.

Looking back, Hannah seemed to have passed on all her skills to Aurelia.

“Indeed, Hannah taught me a lot. However, I couldn’t find work in antique restoration before. Recently, Hannah sent me a letter to inform me that I could now work in antique restoration–related jobs, Aurelia answered truthfully.

Xavier nodded in relief. “You’ve grown up, Auri.”

“How have you been doing lately, Xavier? We spoke on the phone previously, and I heard that someone stole your thesis. Has this issue been resolved?” Aurelia asked with concern.

Aurelia noticed the change in Xavier’s gaze. She smiled subtly and said, “This barbecue is really delicious. The food is grilled to perfection.”

Xavier looked at Aurelia with a look of gentle adoration.

Before long, only a few skewers of meat were left on the table.

Aurelia rubbed her stomach. “I ate too much.”

She felt more at ease sharing a meal with her family.

When she was eating just now, she certainly didn’t bother keeping up with any table manners.

“I’m also full. Here, have some juice.” Xavier handed her a cup of juice.
