Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 10

Annie had originally planned to sleep in until she woke up naturally.

After all, in this new life, she no longer had to drag herself out of bed before dawn and run herself ragged for a breakfast Sean might skip.

And yet, her morning of peace was destroyed by that cursed phone call.

Unable to fall back asleep, she slowly finished her breakfast, picked out a sharp outfit from her walk‑in closet, and grabbed the resume she had prepared long ago. Then, she headed out the door.

In her past life, Sean had manipulated her so thoroughly that she gave up her career and dreams right after graduation to throw herself into the mundane life of a housewife. She had thought naively that this was happiness.

Looking back now, she couldn't believe how stupid she had been.

Luckily, she could still start over. She was going to pursue her passion for fashion design.

Annie scheduled interviews with three decent companies in the industry.

Reality, however, was much harsher than she expected. Even after she had spent the whole day running around, every answer she received was the same.

Having missed the "fresh graduate" window and after being away from the field for two whole years, her resume had zero competitive edge.

As evening approached, the worn-out Annie got into a taxi to return to the Steward residence.

Leaning against the window, she let out a small sigh.

Every beginning was hard. If things didn't work out today, there was always tomorrow.

She was never someone who would be knocked down easily.

The moment she stepped out of the taxi at the gate of the Steward residence, she froze in place.

She never imagined she would see Cecilia there.

Cecilia was in a thin hospital gown, her face pale and sickly. She looked pitiful and so fragile that even the wind might have knocked her down.

Why did she come here instead of lying in the hospital?

Annie couldn't think of any other reason besides Cecilia trying to pull some stunt.
