The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 25

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

"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.
