Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 63

Oscar seemed pretty chill, “I don’t need love.”

“Why? You got your heart broken and now you’re planning to stay single forever?” I asked with a smile as I tasted the food here.

“No, it’s just…” Oscar seemed like he wanted to say something, but then he stopped. Instead, he peeled a few shrimps and put them in my bowl, “Irene, you’re too skinny. Eat more.”

I didn’t want to be this skinny, but for some reason, my weight gain plan wasn’t going well. Since I’ve been reborn, I’ve only gained a few pounds and occasionally would lose some.

Perhaps it was because Ada was fired too early. If she cooked for me for a little while longer, I might’ve been more plump and had a better figure.

Oscar was quite a bit younger than me, so after chatting with him for a while, I could tell he was still a bit childish.

For instance, his views on many things were very simple; everything was either right or wrong. I didn’t argue with him, just went along with his opinions. He seemed really happy that I agreed with him.

After finishing the buffet, Oscar and I left the restaurant. Bailey had already taken the car back, so I’d have to catch a cab home today.

“It’s snowing again.” I reached out my hand to catch a few snowflakes, observing their shapes with delight.

“Irene, do you like hot chocolate?” Oscar asked, his breath visible in the cold air.

He had large eyes and long eyelashes. Some said college students had a naïve sparkle in their eyes, which seemed to suit him well.

Back in college, I loved all sorts of drinks, but I barely had them after getting married. A cup of hot chocolate in this weather actually sounded pretty good.
