Chapter 121: Experience Passenger
The friend, who was quite convinced she'd receive some words of admiration, glanced back.
Old friends didn't need courtesy. They hurriedly paid and left for the car. Sitting on Keith's Rolls Royce, Grace thought she had become a royalty.
Her old friend, as an "experienced passenger," was obviously calmer. After getting out of the car to the supermarket next to Grace's apartment, their discussion began.
"You see, can I ask to keep Princess Celestia in Flower Island when I leave Keith in the future? Cos I won't have a place for her."
"What Princess? Your boy turned out to be a girl?"
She didn't know about the horse, but Grace had always called the baby Cathryn's unborn child "your boy." She thought if a girl should live alone, she could at least be accompanied by a little boy to balance the hormones. When she had explained this, Cathryn remembered herself calling her weird.
"No, she's a horse that Keith bought for me," Cathryn said.
Grace: "..."
Cathryn didn't see her bestie's expression because she was taking out the phone and looking for the photos of the horse. She showed them to Grace. "See, she is all white, that's why I took this name."
Grace: "..."
Flipping through the pictures, Cathryn noticed that Grace hadn't answered. She looked up at her and was a little confused.
"Is it not a good name?"
Grace replied in a solemn voice, "Seriously, I beg you, marry him. This horse here in, once I saw an interview made by a friend. There is no price in the market, you can't buy it with money. If you are not marrying Keith Clarkson but putting this one downstairs in your home, I'm seriously going to steal it."
True, the gifts from Keith are usually expensive. Cathryn was surprised for a moment and smiled, "Keith has someone he wants to marry."
"Who?"
After her inquiry, Grace suddenly realized something to add, "Are you in love with him?"
If Cathryn didn't feel anything about him, she wouldn't have talked about him like that.
Cathryn nodded. She didn't want to hide from her dearest friend, but her face turned bitter.
Looking at the young actress, Grace was exasperated.
"What are you doing with all this kind of speculation? He said in the first place that if you wanted to get married, he could marry you at any time. Believe it in this way, and maybe you are the one he wants to marry!"
It made sense what Grace said. Cathryn started having a flash of thoughts in her mind, and she believed suddenly that she was right. But after some time, she changed her mind and thought it must be her own passion.
This topic was dropped, Cathryn turned to look at her friend's skirt, at how it slid swiftly while she was checking every chicken. Puzzled, she asked, "You are cooking something serious?"
As an allegedly strong woman, Grace lived all by herself and ate outside, unless when the advocated "quality of life" randomly crossed her mind, she would make a few light dishes. Now looking at her carefully picking the chicken, Cathryn was really surprised.
"If it's something that I can't do, there will naturally be someone who can." Grace blinked an answer, and her face was coy with a blush. Instead of looking at Cathryn, she quickly organized her skirt and pulled her guest to walk away.
A church clock suddenly struck Cathryn's head. The whole reaction was definitely showing that there was something going on. She used the full leverage of the weight of a pregnant woman so that no matter how she was pulled, she did not move.
"Who is that? My God, K, you are in love, and you didn't even tell me!"
Cathryn was surprised, worried, happy, and relieved... a mix of emotions went up, and she was almost going to cry.
After so long that the thing had happened, and Grace had been disguising herself as a hard rock ever since - so hard that except for her, no one ever could drill in - Grace was actually in love with some man that she had determined to disgust all her life.
Thinking back to her surprise to see her in a skirt, Cathryn was in a mixture of happiness and sadness.
"Shhh! Save your voice." Grace was embarrassed and pulled Cathryn to the checkout counter while reminding her, "Careful."
Cathryn was too excited to speak, she was so overwhelmed and only calmed down outside the supermarket.
As soon as she got her sense back, Cathryn immediately started throwing all her questions, "Who is he? Your colleague? Have I seen him? What is he like?"
The wave of questions didn't beat Grace. She rolled her eyes and gave a simple answer. "You will know later when we cook."
"Ah!" Cathryn was suddenly relieved. "He knows how to cook! Great, I won't need to eat your cooking anymore!"
Grace was stunned, "Is it that bad?"
Cathryn grinned at her, "Why don't you ask first if it's edible?"
"But he did and said it was good."
"Then he has a great love for you, I'm convinced."
No matter how she tried, Grace wouldn't speak a word about her lover on their way. But the more she tried to hide, the more Cathryn believed that it should be someone she knew.
The BFFs left the elevator merrily, and Grace took the key to open the door. Unexpectedly, before her key was in, the door opened itself.
With a bit of surprise on her face, Grace thought it was her boyfriend who had come off work early. She was just about to call his name but was shocked by the messiness in the apartment.
She stepped back suddenly, throwing the groceries on the ground and pulling Cathryn behind her. Her face was tense as she took out her phone with trembling fingers. She dialed a number that didn't connect. She did it again twice, but no one answered. When she was getting anxious, the elevator suddenly rang, and a man walked out.
That was a handsome young man walking toward them in denim shorts and a spotless white shirt. His face was familiar to Cathryn, and his eyes were gently scrutinizing them.
